Hey Culture
Hey Culture!
I am Ryno Fermor, CEO of SALA npc (Salt and Light Africa Missions). As an extension of our vision to be SALT and LIGHT, we have launched Hey Culture to engage with ideas that have an impact on people's lives. Ideas have consequences. Topics discussed are worldviews, philosophy, religion, truth, art, and politics.
Socrates said: "The unexamined life is not worth living." This implies that a meaningful and worthy life is an examined one. C.S. Lewis said: "Good philosophy must exist, if for no other reason because bad philosophy needs to be answered." Join us in evaluating life and ideas.

010. Star Wars, Nirvana, and the East (Pantheistic Monism) | Dr. Thomas McCuddy
The East differs a lot from the West. Like a drop going back to the ocean a sense of nirvana is achieved. But is true? Is everything connected and is everything god? Dr. Thomas McCuddy is back on Hey Culture to speak on his time in Nepal and his first hand encounters with Eastern Pantheistic Monism.

009. Despair, Meaninglessness, and the Antidote (Existentialism Part 2) | Thomas Quackenbush
Atheism took existentialism from Christianity (Kierkegaard) but removed God as the foundation. This leads to despair always lurking and crouching at the door. In this episode (part 2), Thomas Quackenbush and I talk about atheistic existentialism, meaning, Camus, grunge music, and Kurt Cobain.

007 Hey Culture | Everything is matter so nothing matters? (Nihilism) | Dr. Thomas McCuddy
Naturalism's child is nihilism. If everything is matter, nothing matters. There is no meaning, everything is material and deterministic. It is all atoms and molecules. Physics and chemistry. An unliveable worldview. In this episode, Dr Thomas McCuddy unpacks the atheistic worldview of nihilism and the consequences of it.
