Long requested guest Posh Redneck joins me to cover his area of specialty – linguistics, and how the philosophy of language teaches us about paradigms. In fact, there is no better illustration of paradigms than language and the holistic context of meanings and referents. Posh will also delve into his deep take on various symbols […]

The next most requested debate was the series of discussions between Dr Jordan Peterson and Sam Harris, known as the Vancouver talks. They will begin the discussion by the issue of grounding ethics and “common ground,” and whether we can do metaphysics. The full debate is linked here. Live today at 330 PM CST […]
Join me as Dr. Josh Rasmussen and I discuss and compare classical theistic arguments, presuppositional and transcendental arguments, epistemology, and apologetics in general. In this long anticipated discussion, these two apologists will compare and contrast two paradigms and whether the evidentialist framework actually does what it intends to do logically. Indeed, many people come to […]
A recent “debate” on one of the largest discord servers. Atheists are now arguing that informal fallacies are valid arguments, so feel free to now use nothing but ad hominems, since informal fallacies are valid arguments. “What is the justification for knowledge, ethics, and metaphysics in your worldview.”
Atheist Reply: the single mocule dimension isn’t a contradiction.
This hilarious low IQ reply wasn’t a coherent counter example, argument or justification.
Discord’s home for politics. The official politics discord for debate, history, philosophy, polls, & live events. One of the most active politics discord communities! The large politics discord hosted another AMA with myself and Fr Dcn. which led to a couple debates. Here, we include two recent AMAs that developed into debates in various forms and fashions. We discuss St. Maximos and the Logoi, relativism, TAG and more! In the other, a different type of chat / AMA with a gnostic-minded host and his politics server.
Our frend Michael Witcoff speaks to me and Fr. Dcn Dr Ananias on his podcast concerning our new project on Orthodox apologetics and argumentation and how to integrate transcendental arguments in a coherent way. We cover apologetic methodology, the chapters we have complete so far, the projected audiences, how we look at Thomistic philosophy and theology and its (inadequate) apologetic, and why the transcendental argument for God is much more biblical, patristic and philosophically sound.
FrDcn Ananias Sorem joins me to discuss the hot topics of late: Thomism, the Thomistic apologetic and the five ways, causality and teleology, epistemology and metaphysical categories, absolute divine simplicity and the uncreated energies and how apophatic theology influences and is related to our apologetic approach as well as their being no neutrality. Father Deacon Ananias has a PhD in philosophy. His channel is here. Live tonight at 7PM EST
Can Theism be established logically? Is there a simple presentation of the transcendental argument that can be had in 15 minutes? In this video I attempt to boil down the presuppositional argument to a brief comparison and contrast with the atheist/secularist/materialist worldview as a test case. Logically the non-theist only has a limited number of paths it can take from its starting point. Early on, Sir Sceptic challenges this argument with his refined logic skills.
