How to Kill a Culture and How to Save One

Description

Lets face it, things out there are pretty bleak nowadays. Every time you turn on the T.V., pick up your phone, or see a billboard, you run the risk of being exposed to the corrosive outgrowths of a pathological worldview that has overrun our society. In the face of this sort of cultural pollution, it’s easy to despair, to resort to cutting oneself off from the culture at large, and in some ways that’s a perfectly reasonable reaction. However, it’s not a sustainable one. Our culture is a runaway train, and if we don’t try to stop it, we’ll just be the last ones to get hit. In this session, Trent takes a close look at the ideologies fueling our culture, identifying the thinkers and ideas that have undermined the western world and brought us to this moment. Through gaining an understanding of these ideas we also learn how to counter them, not just in the apologetic sense, but in a tangible cultural sense, so that we may build a new counter-culture for the future.
