Episode 110 – Clay, Fabric, and the Relay Race: A Civilization Built for the Future

In this continuation from last week, host T.A. makes his case plain: there is only one system of government built for the future, and that is the original framework of the U.S. Constitution, before it was loaded down by sociopolitical maneuvering. Here’s what he covers.

• Why he says everything added since should be set aside (not thrown out), then re-evaluated at a new constitutional convention using the methods God laid out and Jesus displayed
• Jeremiah 18 and the potter’s house: God’s job is to shape the “clay,” which T.A. says means individual lives, into a useful whole, and civilization is the measuring stick
• What separated Jesus from the rest of us, which T.A. says came down to information and attitude
• The human race as a relay race, and what he calls “dropping out” for those who stay locked in the animal perspective
• The animal decision-making method (follow desire) vs. the method he prescribes: logic to frame the decision, reason to weigh the inputs, and wisdom to choose what is scalable, sustainable, and good for everyone
• Why he says education, politics, and religion can all function as belief systems, and why he says reality trumps every belief
• A story about a young woman whose father says free will doesn’t exist, and a “tree falling in the forest” argument for why it can still be real
• Christianity as an ethic, not a religion, and his account of how it was “pirated” by religion
• His three big questions: who we are, what we are, and why we are here on Earth
