  • サマリー

  • Something has happened in the USA. Like a boat loose from its moorings, we are adrift in dangerous waters, away from the safety of a good harbor, set upon a stable foundation. In this upheaval, depression, loneliness, and self-harm have accelerated leading to the nation sinking in key indicators like health and wellness, poverty, and education. We lost our way over the past 60-80 years as we forgot, or failed to understand, our national history, losing comprehension of the events of our founding, especially as related to the Christian roots within the cultural foundation. In this tension, conservative and progressive citizens have ended in confrontation, fighting over how to “save” or “preserve” the country as each group comes to divergent conclusions. Conservative Christians, having believed that their faith vital for the nation, seem to lean inexorably toward Christian nationalism. Progressives, often replying “none” to questions of religious affiliation, seem to lean to a view that the Christian heritage of the nation now a danger. We will examine the missing historical truths of our mutual history that point forward to safe harbor, finding how to restore key foundational elements of a healthy civic society that allows for a flourishing for everyone, a common good.

  • There Was A Unique Foundation

    There Was A Unique Foundation
    2024/09/10

    We do not fully grasp the uniqueness of the US civic system (we now see “Democracies” everywhere and we think “casual, normal”), and in doing so we devalue the factors that went into the creation. That creation, and the foundation as well as the issues we are facing, are of a spiritual nature, and that comes out in “who” are the principle participants in the struggle, in the causing of the unmooring.

    The crisis that we discussed in episode 1 really is only signs or evidence of the deeper issue that we have lost touch with a foundation. Yet due to the historical forgetfulness, many do not realize just how unique the US civic system was. Note, "unique" does not mean our tone or viewpoint is that of triumphalism or trying to suggest the US was ever perfect or singularly special.

    The USA version of civic society was set fully on the concept of citizen-only structure. This raised the question or concept of “how could you assume citizens would not just devolved into some self-only concern about living life” and/or “assume they would follow rules on their own, their own self-defined rules.” All other previous societies had a built-in enforcement concept with the powerful central ruler (ie, King, Emperor, nobility, religious leaders). The US was rejecting all of these options for rules.

    A Storm Blows Wildly
    2024/09/03

    It is my contention, I believe obvious among any casual observation, that US society and culture, is in peril. As a nation, we are adrift at sea, hence “unmoored” from the safety and protection of good harbor, of a dock set upon a stable foundation. This setting has happened because over the previous 4-5 decades, knowledge, understanding, and appreciation of the nation’s history has fallen so that there no longer is correct comprehension of the events of our founding.

    Episode 1 examines why “crisis and turmoil” has happened, including current evidence that it is happening, and who are the principle “players” in this “crisis and turmoil.” We will talk about the three major "crucial ills" that have emerged over the past 50 years that I think are central to understanding the situation.
