Description

In this episode I discuss Ben Shapiro’s Lions and Scavengers, exploring how morality, free markets, and ideology intertwine. I break down false consciousness, the moral roots of capitalism, and how losing moral anchors like family and faith leads to social decay. I argue that both left and right rely on narrow definitions of merit and morality—and that only a universal, meta-level moral framework can restore balance to society and the economy.
