Episode notes
Reality Denial In Modern Progressivism
- Rabbi Daniel Lapin frames modern 'woke' progressivism as a reality-denying ideology that conflicts with how the world works.
- He links its errors to socialism, feminism, and a present-only view of time that rejects past and future.
Family And Property As Social Foundations
- The Hebrew Bible prioritizes family and private ownership as foundations of society.
- Rabbi Daniel Lapin argues these structures produce stronger neighborhoods and social stability than collectivist alternatives.
Jerusalem Versus Athens Framework
- Lapin casts the cultural clash as Jerusalem versus Athens: enduring values versus present-focused pleasure.
- He uses this dichotomy to explain many modern conflicts over time, sex, and ownership.
