"We don't know how privileged we are." nigel biggar breaks down how forgetting history distorts our modern moral perspective. Defeating the Nazis cost 80 million lives, including vast civilian loss, yet because we live in the safest, wealthiest era in human history, we judge past generations without understanding the existential threats they faced.

If we don’t reckon with the reality of our past, we won’t learn from it. President Trump and Vice President Vance’s attempts to rewrite our history go against the core of who we are as a nation.

Iran's exiled Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi on what makes the current wave of protests in the country different from attempted revolutions of the past: "The red lines that was drawn has been definitely surpassed by this regime." "The people on the streets in Iran today say we are past condemnations," Pahlavi told CBS News' Norah O'Donnell 🇺🇸. "We are past resolution. We are past the stage of offering sympathy. We need action to be taken."

James talarico says he supports reparations for slavery: "Restoration, repairing past harms is part of my faith tradition... We have to correct the injustices of our past... We are seeing the reverberations of slavery in modern day Texas, all over the place. And until we as a society are committed to righting those past wrongs, of restoring our black communities, we're never going to be able to get this country back on track." #TXsen

Bestselling historian, Yuval Noah Harari, explains why we may be one of the last generations of homo sapiens. The prediction: "We are one of the last generations of homo sapiens. Within a century or two, Earth will be dominated by entities that are more different from us than we are different from chimpanzees." The technologies driving the shift: Harari explains that we as humans will soon have the power to re-engineer our bodies and brains through genetic engineering, direct brain-to-computer connections, and completely non-organic artificial intelligence. These technologies are developing at breakneck speed. The unprecedented danger: Harari warns, "One of the dangers is that we will see in the coming decades, a process of greater inequality than in any previous time in history because for the first time it will be real biological inequality." If enhancement technologies are available only to the rich or only to people from certain countries: "Homo sapiens will split into different biological castes because they really have different bodies and different abilities." Why this matters: Throughout history, inequality has been social and economic, but humans remained biologically equal. We're now approaching a threshold where the enhanced and unenhanced could be as different as humans and chimpanzees. The question is... who gets access, and what happens when biological inequality becomes real?

We are working tirelessly to strengthen Ukraine's relations with partners, receive more tangible support, and ensure true equality in the protection from terror. So that when we face the same terror and strikes with missiles and drones, the rules are equal in Ukraine, Europe, and other parts of the world. We have heard a lot over the last two days. We have heard about different conflicts in Europe and the Middle East, different levels of threat, and different airspace. Despite the fact that "Shahed" drones and ballistic missiles are the same. We have also heard about different threats of escalation. But are human lives any different? Is human dignity different? No. We value every human life equally. We must all value it equally. And we must equally protect lives from terror. Ukraine will request an Ukraine-NATO Council meeting focused on the protection of skies and the supplies of air defense systems and missiles. We are also actively working to ensure that the first Global Peace Summit in June yields results. I am grateful to all of the leaders and states who have expressed their willingness to attend it over the last week. I would also like to specifically thank German Chancellor Olaf Scholz for his leadership in this matter and relevant international communication, as well as for the signals we have heard from Beijing. China can truly contribute to the restoration of just peace in Ukraine as well as international stability. The Summit in Switzerland presents a real opportunity for all of us to ensure that the UN Charter, its purposes, and principles begin to work in practice.

“Evil is not unique to any group. It’s a collective human inheritance, and we need to be honest about that rather than cherry-picking and trying to compare the evils that people of different skin color have done in the past.” In this clip, Kaizen D. Asiedu discusses his thoughts on how historical wrongdoing should be viewed as a human problem rather than one belonging to any single racial group, and why focusing on collective guilt or grievance by race harms society rather than helps it.

Charlie Kirk and The Moment That Changed Everything Like many listeners, we were shocked by the news that Charlie Kirk, founder of Turning Point USA, was killed. In this episode, we talk about how we got here as a nation, the marxist infiltration of society, and how we should respond as Christians.

By the grace of God, we are on the precipice of history. But we must cast aside the politicians of the past who scramble to appease the woke-radicals of the present. Let us commit ourselves to once again be guided by the better angels of our nature. Join us as we make history.

Feminism went off the rails when it started telling women that equality meant becoming the same as men. Women are not inferior because we are different. Our femininity is not a weakness. Our unique strengths as mothers, wives, leaders, and builders of families are indispensable to a healthy society. The greatest lie of modern feminism is that women must imitate men to be equal. We don't diminish ourselves by embracing who we are. We diminish ourselves when we pretend to be something we are not. | ZUBY:

Elon Musk: We could be the only life in the universe, so we must preserve consciousness. “As far as we know it, we’re the only life. People think there’s aliens, but honestly, I haven’t seen any sign of aliens. So, as far as we know, we’re the only life. We could be the only life. So let’s put it that way. And we need to take the set of actions that are most likely to make the future good, and result in the continuance of consciousness as we know it.” Source: The Mars Society Convention, October 16, 2020.
