The Clerisy

"The Clerisy" with Loren Moss comes out of a simple proposition: If we encourage thinking, we will have a more thoughtful society. Peter Bernstein was right when he said "The riskiest moment is when you think you're right," and thus we hope to introduce heterodox thinking to the debate that typically peddles a defective and false "left vs. right" dichotomy. This endeavor comes out of a sense of urgent responsibility: "If those who know why and how neglect to act, those who do not know will act, and the world will continue to flounder."- Alfred Korzybski, 1921

    How MAGA Hijacked Empathy

    Why do so many white evangelicals embrace Donald Trump despite the apparent contradictions with Christian teachings? A new poll reveals a growing rejection of empathy among white evangelicals, raising troubling questions about Christian nationalism, political tribalism, and the MAGA movement's influence on American Christianity.

    Comrade Donald: Trump Seized the Means of Production

    We were promised a president who would fight socialism. Instead, the Trump administration is taking ownership stakes in dozens of private companies, using taxpayer money to become a shareholder, lender, and, increasingly, boss. Today we examine the deals involving Intel, U.S. Steel, Nvidia, and more, unpack the legal questions and potential conflicts of interest, and explore how Trump's brand of state capitalism combines government ownership, corporate favoritism, and political influence. Is this really what fighting socialism looks like?

    Will Ohio Signal the Death of Decency in American Politics?

    Ohio gubernatorial candidate Vivek Ramaswamy is spending millions on a campaign ad that uses his opponent Amy Acton’s estranged mother to attack her account of childhood trauma. Court records contradict the ad’s claims, yet Donald Trump praised it and urged Ramaswamy to keep it running. But this isn’t just about one ad, one candidate, or one state. From Ohio to Michigan to Texas, we’re seeing a disturbing pattern: personal attacks replacing policy arguments, religion weaponized against political opponents, and serious allegations of misconduct reduced to partisan loyalty tests. In this episode, we examine the controversies surrounding Ramaswamy, the attacks against Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed, the allegations involving Congressman Max Miller, and the record of Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton. We also look at the Republicans pushing back against their own party — and why their objections matter. You don’t have to be a Democrat to recognize cruelty, or a socialist to oppose corruption. You can stand by your principles and still demand basic decency from those seeking your vote. The window to stop the damage is still open.

    Trump's War on LEGAL Immigration

    Trump says he’s cracking down on illegal immigration, but the numbers tell a different story. Legal immigration has taken an even harder hit, separating American families, shutting out skilled workers, and driving talent toward countries like Canada and China. From $100,000 visa fees to decades-long green card backlogs, let's take a look at how Washington’s immigration policies are hurting America’s economy, universities, and future, and why both parties share the blame. If America wants to stay great, shouldn’t it welcome the people who can help build its future? Are you for or against these policies? Tell us in the comments.

    Desperate Trump sucks Putin's nozzle for oil!

    We are watching in real time as Donald J. Trump is sucking from Vladimir Putin’s little nozzle. In a desperate bid to lower fuel prices and buy our votes ahead of the midterms, he is bypassing his own sanctions to pump billions of American dollars into Russia's war machine. While we remain trapped in a disastrous, aimless war with Iran (a conflict Trump himself started!) he is actively enriching the very dictator who arms our enemies. What do you think?

    Why America’s $40 Trillion Debt Is Already Your Problem

    America owes $40 trillion. How much longer can Washington keep borrowing before the bill becomes a crisis? Let's look at the national debt in household terms, examine the growing cost of interest, and compare the records of Republican and Democratic presidents. Trump promised fiscal responsibility, but let's see what he actually delivered—and why Democrats don’t get a free pass either. This reaches beyond Washington: your mortgage, your retirement, and your children’s future are part of the bill. Are you okay with this?

    The End of Birthright Citizenship? (The Trump v. Barbara Case)

    How did roughly 8,000 babies become a supposed threat to America? I break down Trump v. Barbara, the Fourteenth Amendment, and how a policy sold as stopping “birth tourism” could deny citizenship to an estimated 255,000 American-born children every year. I examine the numbers behind the outrage, defend the constitutional case for birthright citizenship, and explain why neither party gets a free pass. Should a president get to decide who is born American? Tell me what you think in the comments.

About

"The Clerisy" with Loren Moss comes out of a simple proposition: If we encourage thinking, we will have a more thoughtful society. Peter Bernstein was right when he said "The riskiest moment is when you think you're right," and thus we hope to introduce heterodox thinking to the debate that typically peddles a defective and false "left vs. right" dichotomy. This endeavor comes out of a sense of urgent responsibility: "If those who know why and how neglect to act, those who do not know will act, and the world will continue to flounder."- Alfred Korzybski, 1921
