We discuss Trace’s evolution from Mormonism to his current spiritual beliefs, his mission trip, and the struggle to find a personal spiritual answer. We also chat about the value of community and voluntary organization within religion, the pursuit of perfection, and the struggle against emptiness and decay. We also delve into the tension between the populist right and the traditional right, the struggle to build a cohesive movement, and the fragmentation within the online right, centrism, and the potential for a more inclusive pursuit of excellence. Our conversation concludes with a reflection on the value of life, the importance of intentional decision-making, and the duty to maintain and create positive structures.
