133: The Overton Window and Its Consequences
Talk Back to MeThe Overton Window gets referenced most in political and social conversation, and it refers to the spectrum of socially acceptable norms in a given society. This places it squarely in the realm of political philosophy. And the recent event of the New Mexico Governor's executive order suspending citizen's right to carry a firearm lands as the perfect example to discuss this subject and its ramifications. My observation of the current window places impeaching the governor not on the fringes, but in the center. And normative nature of this has its consequences.

132: Choice and The Law of Excluded Middle
Talk Back to MeOne of the three fundamental laws that dictate formal logic is the law of excluded middle. In propositional logic it looks like this:A v ~AA or not AIn life, this looks like choice. When we are faced with a decision, we have the option to make a choice, or abdicate that choice. But what we don't have before us is the option to opt out.

131: Exhortation: The Government Betrayed You, So What?
Talk Back to MeWith great passion, people across the internet and the world will try to convince us not to trust the government. To some, this is a novel concept, but not to many. The assumption that we can trust something as vast and complicated as the government as a whole is itself a head-scratcher. At the same time, from time to time, and for some, with increasing rapidity, we are seeing a breakdown of trust between the citizens and their government. To end there, however, is to be consumed by cynicism. Even when we are betrayed by one person, does it justify that we throw out all trust for all mankind?And this applies to worldviews and beliefs as well. When we see the cracks in our own worldview, do we abandon any pursuit of a firm foundation?That is the message in this Monday Exhortation: what to do when a failed foundation collapses beneath us.

125: How to be a Christian in the Military
Talk Back to Me"How Can you Be a Christian in the Military?" What kind of answer are you looking for? Are you looking for a worldview or a set of moral imperatives. Are you asking if it is possible for a man to be a Christian while they are in the Military, as if there were some inherent contradiction, or are you asking the question of "How then shall we live?" Because they are not the same. Just War Theory deals with both of these premises. Whether you are looking for the Jus Ad Bellum answer or the Jus In Bellow one, just let us know.

124: Is Gun Culture Materialistic?
Talk Back to MeSo as not to be mistaken for a trap, Betteridge's Law applies here. There's a difference between materialism and accusing someone or some culture of being too materialistic. What we understand as Materialism is more akin to Naturalism, where as being Materialistic, is the placing of too much emphasis of objects as one's identity. A serious look at what it is typically portrayed as an unserious matter. And if so, then what? What drives Gun Culture? Is it the acquisition of possessions? The development of skill? Being prepared for some potential future? Is it the pursuit of virtue?Support the REDACTED Culture Cast at redactedculture.locals.comSSP and boutique products at redactedllc.comFollow us on Instagram at @redactedllc
