From episode 5, professor Mark David Hall talks about what the Founders really meant with the 1st amendment and how it ONLY applies to Congress.
The shared narrative Americans had through the 1950s has disintegrated. A stable society needs a common god. I think Trump, whether deliberately or not, is trying to bring that back by returning American idealism.
If you’ve read Neil Postman, he talks a lot about why public schooling makes no sense anymore. At least without a shared narrative or a common god that provides meaning to the question, “what are we even doing here?”
Kids in schools today are in a system that can’t tell them what the greater mission is except, so you can join a market economy. A market economy makes a poor god.
As Postman says, schools don’t serve the public, they create the public. In the United States, we’ve lost the pursuance of virtues and knowledge that a kid can aspire to because he know doesn’t where he’s supposed to go.
If Trump, can stoke the flames that bring a resurgence of Americanism, I think that’s a good thing. My only caveat is that I think it should be based upon transparency and truth. A pride in our culture, our land, our freedom, our history, our people, is a good thing, but it should not be uninformed and ignorant.
This is where the Bitcoin ethos can help.
Imagine celebrating with your neighbors the best of American idealism COMBINED with a government that can invite the inspection of its citizens with alacrity.
That is a vision of paradise I’m willing to fight for in the here and now.
This does not contradict my beliefs as Christian. Jesus is still and will be King forevermore. I will still share the Gospel and speak out against sin.
But the project of running a civil society must allow for people to be free to choose that on their own to choose and act in their own self-interest so long as it doesn’t violate the safety and property of another.
People need a shared narrative to give them meaning. If a civilization goes without it for too long, it will crumble.

I haven’t read Mein Kempf, but it is referenced dozens and dozens of times in Nazi Ecology. According to the author when Hitler talks of God, he really means Nature.
Moral of the story, when you place nature above God, nothing is sacred enough to prevent it from being sacrificed to please Nature.
Thanks for the question. So if you listen to the podcast, or better yet read the book, he explains how Nazi idealogy was really born out of German existentialism and romanticism, which places a great emphasis on nature and “balance.”
This shows up in the Germans desire to be connected to the Fatherland, fascination with the Black Forests, fascination with animals.
They saw the Jews as disconnected from any land and therefore not living authentically and therefore not worthy of life. The way they distrusted society meant they needed to be done away with as a means to restore order and balance to Nature. The fascination with oak trees is also interesting. There is a god in German mythology that represents the oak. They planted oaks after killing Jews in camps or planted Lupen flowers aka wolf flowers where Jews were buried. Hitler loved wolves.
They passed legislation for sustainable development long before it was popular.

Yeah, his main point was Palestine is a place—>people have been living there for hundreds of years—> you having the same religion as people from thousands of years ago doesn’t give you ownership to occupy land and displace a people—> Israel of OT is not the same thing as the current state of Israel
