    442 - "Historical Accuracy" Can Miss the Point
    Mar 26 2026
    We often assume that being “historically accurate” means getting closer to the truth, but that’s not always the case. In this video, I explore how modern, mechanical thinking can actually invert meaning, using the example of Christ’s crucifixion.
    What matters most is not just the mechanical details of how something could have happened, but what it means and its actual implications.

    441 - Mary Harrington - Technology, AI, and Cultural Memory
    Mar 20 2026
    In this conversation, I sat down with Mary Harrington about technology and the online world.
    Mary reflects on her path as a writer, the evolution of online culture, and the growing difficulty of discerning truth in the digital environment. We also touch on memory, embodiment, cancel culture, and politics.

    YouTube version: https://youtu.be/eeBZuA0S1ZE

    Mary will be speaking at the Symbolic World Summit. The theme of the conference is Retelling the Cosmic Epic, and Mary’s talk will be titled: 'Rebuild the Monasteries'
    Description:
    In an age of AI "slop" and flattened culture, how do we understand, and cultivate, what makes us distinctly human? Mary Harrington will argue that there is no need to reinvent the wheel. Premodern practices of memory and prayer, once cultivated in Europe's monasteries, can refresh our imaginations and salvage our human cultures in the digital age.

  • 440 - Dr. Zachary Porcu - Journey to Reality: De-Secularize Your Life

    440 - Dr. Zachary Porcu - Journey to Reality: De-Secularize Your Life
    Mar 12 2026
    In this conversation I speak with Dr. Zachary Porcu about his book, Journey to Reality: Sacramental Life in a Secular Age, and the challenge of explaining true Christian thinking to modern people. We discuss how modern assumptions about the world make it difficult to understand ideas like sacraments, participation, and the relationship between the spiritual and material. Dr. Porcu explains why he wrote the book and how reframing basic categories—what we mean by God, religion, and reality—is often necessary before theology can make sense.
