Inside the Lab of a Public School Kale Zelden 2024-05-30 | What is really going on with the kids in public schools behind the doors of the classroom? Going Godward comes on to discuss what she sees day to day in the "lab" of a public middle school. As a school therapist, she is privy to some disconcerting trends, all of which trend into negative realities. She calls these institutions "abuse factories" in which the distractions have become the primary signal and feature of day to day life. Behavioral issues are crowding out learning in substantial and consequential ways, and there is very little chance for signal to be heard or experienced.The guardians of the school system lack a coherent philosophy and are instead focused on "passing the kids through" and looking the other way.Twitter handle: (at) goinggodward

Strange Magic: The General Eclectic with Rod Dreher #3.4 Kale Zelden 2023-02-09 | Rod and Kale discuss the retreat of Christianity and its replacement with Neo-paganism, which is really just old Paganism in a slightly different register. Too often people dabble in alternate spiritualisms, yet fail to account for the non-benign. Christianity's ascent was based on the power of miracles, more powerful than existing pagan magic. Modern Christianity has fallen in love with the idea. Ideas do not convert, but experiences do. The allure of psychedelics opens people up to a reality, but a reality that is unearned and thus dangerous.Topics and Links:Rod's post on Dark Enchantment: theamericanconservative.com/psychonauts-plinths-re-paganizing-pop-culture/Robert Knapp's Dawn of Christianity: amazon.com/Dawn-Christianity-People-Magic-Miracles/dp/0674976460Edward Watt's Final Pagan Generation: amazon.com/Final-Pagan-Generation-Christianity-Transformation/dp/0520379225/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr=
