    Persona Non Grata: Donors and Dissidents in the Ivy League

    In this guest episode, Myron and Martin are joined by Cornell alumnus Carl Neuss, who recounts his shift from major donor to organized opposition of institutional capture. He describes how ideological drift, donor leverage, media exposure, and external pressure converged to challenge the university’s departure from free speech, Western tradition, and Christian foundations.

    High Station

    Myron and Martin reflect on the modern expectation of “knowing God’s will,” arguing that Christian maturity consists not in waiting for divine signals but in exercising wisdom, agency, and judgment—before turning to civility across social ranks, Aquinas on good and evil, and Calvin on Scripture’s testimony to the one true God. "For I know that my redeemer liveth" —Job 19:25 03:19 Opening Reflections: Praying for guidance 30:45 Roadside Attractions: Arizona 42:58 Rules of Civility: Social status 59:43 Summa Theologica (Prima Pars, Q47–49) 1:14:39 Institutes (1.10.1-3)

    Rightly Ordered

    Myron and Martin reflect on Christian time management as an ordering of life toward worship, work, and virtue. Today’s civility discussion balances flattery and sincerity. In the readings, Aquinas turns to the procession of all creation from God, while Calvin defends Scripture’s credibility through prophecy, history, and witness. "All beings apart from God are not their own being, but are beings by participation." —Summa Theologica, Prima Pars, Q44 02:11 Opening Reflections: Time management 37:35 Roadside Attractions: Los Angeles 51:49 Rules of Civility: Flattery 1:03:32 Summa Theologica (Prima Pars, Q44) 1:09:47 Institutes (1.8.8-13)

    The Klappvisier Principle

    Myron and Martin return to the topic of growth in knowledge and curiosity and discuss dining etiquette. In today’s readings, Aquinas wrestles with the ineffable mystery of the Trinity, while Calvin highlights how Scripture’s long-fulfilled promises reveal its divine authorship. "When David is anointed by Samuel, what apparent ground is there for the transference? Who could have looked for a king out of the plebeian family of a herdsman? And out of seven brothers, who could have thought that the honour was destined for the youngest?" —Institutes, 1.8.7 01:43 Opening Reflections: The Klappvisier Principle 23:36 Roadside Attractions: The Iron Door, estd. 1852 31:12 Rules of Civility: Rules for Food & Drink 53:25 Summa Theologica (Prima Pars, Q40–43) 59:23 Institutes (1.8.6–7)
