Stepping back beyond Marcus Aurelius, this week we look into the origins of philosophy itself, the basic questions of metaphysics and the basic questions of theology. What is real? How can we know? How ought we live? What did ancient Egypt and Babylon think? From there, we move in hour two to look at ancient metaphysics and early Greeks, as well as the poets and Pre-Socratics. The first half is free, while subscribers to JaysAnalysis get the full 2 hour talks.
Jay Dyer gives a basic refutation of relativism in all its forms through a reductio argument. Relativism is self-contradictory and is actually a weaponized pseudo-philosophy.
Jay Dyer and the Boiler Room Crew discuss the debate with Adam Kokesh, how to argue effectively and what constitutes the foundational beliefs within a worldview. We also cover the violent anti-Trump “protests” and the provocations of ANTIFA and the black bloc.

The media emphasizes the emotional aspect of tragedy, and the public responds with tears and regrets, rarely giving attention to the illogic that caused the tragedy. When illogic is a governing factor in the violence against people, it elevates the calamity to a criminal action. Feeling sorrow for the victim is warranted but insufficient; thought must complement emotion and enforce justice against the perpetrator.
