"The idea that the election was filched from Trump leads to cynicism" Only if you're unwilling to be a poll watcher, and unwilling to demand an audit of our processes so that we can trust them again.

"If you approach a Conservative and say, 'Justify marriage!' it's easy to render the person inarticulate" Not if they've gone to enough Book of Common Prayer marriage services to be familiar with (and even to have memorized parts of) the liturgy. Professor, you've discussed the appeal of your thinking-out-loud fluid intelligence style of lecturing, but I think you're missing the point of the crystallized intelligence that constitutes the Christian liturgy, and the value most people gain from passing that along. I suppose you could call it "unearned knowledge", but in the case of issues at the core of the human experience (like marriage), it would take more than one lifetime to earn that knowledge, even at the rumination rate of someone like yourself. I would love to hear you give a lecture on "Dearly beloved, we are gathered here in the sight of God ... [etc]" just like you've lectured on Genesis. Please start on this while you still have enough years left to give it the thought it deserves.

"It's all corrupt, we should just start over" I think that new universities (as well as new media companies) are essential to break the Left's monopoly on these institutions. That said, there are four strategies that the Left has used that we need to break: 1- Get activists onto platforms of influence (journalism, entertainment, academia) - Niall Ferguson observed this happening in universities 2- Extract funding for activism (blackmailing companies like Disney into donating to causes, convincing rich men's wives to spend their money on activists, funnel student loan money into Leftist bureaucracies, convince companies like PayPal to fine their users to fund Leftist censorship) 3- Get activists into positions where they control personnel appointments, and peoples' livelihoods (HR, licensing organizations) 4- Get activists into positions of discretionary power over legal, financial, and even physical forms of force (District Attorneys' offices, the IRS, police, the military This is basically the strategic plan for the Long March through the Institutions. We need to fight back against each and every one of these points. We're still the majority and always will be, so we will win, we just have to stand up and DO IT.

"We need an economy and a society that provides you with productive work" Yes, but what we have instead is World Systems Theory, which means the working class in a Core country (like America) is seen as unnecessary and in fact nothing but a burden. I'm not a Marxist by any stretch, but this seems to be exploitative in the extreme. We've been on our way to ending this racket (we've just about run out of "cheap labor" countries, as standards of living rise worldwide) but the question is, will we destroy our nation's ability to function in a post-cheap-labor world, if we de-industrialize to the point that all of our industrial expertise (not to mention the legal structure consistent with industry) vanishes?

"We've been shipping our industrial jobs and capacity overseas, while building up an economy that only benefits Wall Street" Name it. It's called "World Systems Theory". It's damaging at home, and exploitative overseas. It needs to slow down and stop.
