Unequally Yoked Episode 9 - Obama's epistemological crisis plus the case for Judeo-Christian faith

Obama says we're entering an epistemological crisis. But we may already be in one. This crisis is fueled by Obama and Trump. Both men with larger-than-life egos plus animus and jealousy toward one another play a big role in the distortion reality. The two promulgate division just like warring parents having a divorce and spewing their own version of truth. Obama can help this crisis because he's eloquent and communicate effectively. Here's my advice for him. Plus book reading of Chapter 6: The case for Judeo-Christian faith (pages 141-151)

Obama was recently interviewed about his new memoir when he made an arousing observation: “If we do not have the capacity to distinguish what’s true from what’s false, then by definition the marketplace of ideas doesn’t work. And by definition our democracy doesn’t work. We are entering into an epistemological crisis.”   

Epistemology is the perfect ten dollar word for the crisis. When history is written, we could indeed have different versions of truth depending on which news channels, newspapers or books historians use as reference. Yet the New York Times has already rewritten history with its 1619 Project, claiming the one we know is false so at closer inspection Obama might have been more perspicacious if he recognized that the crisis he speaks of has already been well entered into. Despite many believing the reality distortion started when Donald Trump became president,  Obama had a hand in shaping this. Like a social stealth bomber, he is hard to see coming as he eloquently glides in to deliver his rhetorical payload. It is in the aftermath that the carnage becomes visible. Trump takes the blame for a situation of Obama’s making.   

Unequally Yoked Episode 8 - BLM and COVID; The epistemological crisis driven by the left

The Left's dogmatic and pious positions will be their undoing and will push more people to embrace conservatism. What are those dogmatic positions? - social justice is the path to salvation and we have to repent of our "whiteness" The left is forcing these conversions by justifying violence in the name of social justice and indoctrinating society through critical race theory and implicit bias training. Those pushing these dogmatic views are today's modern-day pharisees. This is an epistemological crisis because the postmodern woke religion has a very fluid definition of truth and goodness. Epistemology is the study of knowledge and determining truth from false or fact from opinion. Hence the crisis. I explain how they're using this fluid definition to define violence and then project violence on Trump, the police and others who don't agree with them. Plus Reading of pages 131-144
