Dennis’s weekly thoughts and timeless wisdom by a crackling fire.

    Gender and the War on Common Sense

    Gender and the War on Common Sense

    According to a high school teacher, a student’s statement that “only women menstruate” is merely an opinion. Why are we told to “follow the science” but then mandated to ignore basic biology? As common sense takes a backseat to subjectivity, we are witnessing the death of truth in our culture. What are the implications for society when everything—from gender to the Hamas attacks of October 7—is a matter of opinion?

    Ep. 334 — Hamas, Nazis, and Calling Out Evil

    Ep. 334 — Hamas, Nazis, and Calling Out Evil

    Why don’t people fight obvious evils? If you can’t tell that Hamas is as evil as the Nazis were, it is because you refuse to do so. It’s easy to identify evil decades after the atrocities of the Nazis, Stalin, and Mao. The trick is to call out evil while it’s happening. You have a moral obligation to do so.

    Ep. 333 — Affirmative Action Is Humiliating

    Ep. 333 — Affirmative Action Is Humiliating

    How would you feel if your surgeon, pilot, or lawyer was an affirmative action hire? Society’s obsession with race and gender at the expense of merit is hurting us all. Dennis explores how this destructive policy is not only unfair but also erodes trust and competence in vital professions, where qualifications should matter most.

Enlightment

Dennis Prager’s Fireside Chats are a must listen. He offers a perspective that is educated, well thought out and articulate. If only everyone would close their mouths and simply listen the world would be a much better place. Chat #203 with Park Yeon-mi is one that should be a required listen in all high schools, even before college age. Knowledge brings enlightenment to those who listen.
