The SSPX are a popular group of Catholics who have raised significant concerns with the Catholic Church and the post-Vatican 2 reforms. More recently, they have become even more influential with developments over the Latin Mass and their attempt to consecrate new bishops which may lead to excommunication. Despite a very large online presence, many people may be confused as to what they are and what they believe in. Thus, in this video, I am joined by Fr. James Dominic Rooney, professor and theologian to talk us through their development and progress.

Hegel is known for his dialectics of achieving a synthesis from a thesis and an anti-thesis. However, this may not be an accurate understanding of Hegel's work. Dr. Sebastian Ostritsch tells us about what Hegel really means with his dialectics and how the view of thesis, anti-thesis and synthesis would fundamentally undermine his position in science of logic.

One of the great contributions to Dostoevsky and literary scholarship was Mikhail Bakhtin's work The Problem of Dostoevsky's Poetics. In this video, I build on this book showing how to understand Dostoevsky through a polyphonic lens and what this means for readers of his works. Understanding polyphony prevents simple oversimplifications of Dostoevsky's views.

With the appointment of Sarah Mullally as Archbishop of Canterbury, debates around “liberal Christianity” have reignited—but most people misunderstand what the term actually means. In this video, I trace the roots of liberal Christianity back to nineteenth-century thinkers like Schleiermacher, who, inspired by Kant, reimagined faith as an inner moral and spiritual experience rather than a set of metaphysical claims. I then contrast this historical movement with the modern political label often used in today’s culture wars, showing why many arguments about “liberal” versus “conservative” Christianity miss the deeper theological questions at stake.

In this interview, Joshua Yen speaks with Dr. Jensen Suther (Harvard Society of Fellows) about his new book True Materialism (Stanford University Press). The conversation explores how Hegel and Marx can help us rethink the meaning of materialism, freedom, and modern life. Dr. Suther argues that a “true materialism” must unite Hegel’s conception of rational agency with Marx’s critique of capitalist modernity, showing how philosophy’s history can guide social and political reflection today. Together, we discuss Hegelian Marxism, teleology, historical materialism, freedom, and how philosophy continues to shape our understanding of society.

Pragmatism is a prominent position in 19th century philosophy. In this interview, Dr. Sami Pihlström guides us from Peirce, William James, and Dewey to neopragmatists like Rorty and Putnam, asking hard questions about truth, realism, meaning, and the problem of evil. We compare analytic philosophy of religion with Wittgensteinian approaches, explore whether pragmatism is compatible with religious belief, and examine how “the cash-value of truth” reshapes debates about evidence, practice, and community.
Dr. Sami Pihlström is Professor of Philosophy of Religion at the University of Helsinki. A leading voice in pragmatism and the philosophy of religion, his work engages realism/anti-realism, meaning, and antitheodicy.

There are many arguments for protestantism and many of them are powerful and ought to be taken seriously. However, some arguments have just such weird implications which are just flat out ridiculous. In this video, I respond to one such argument which intends to make the argument that Catholics are not Christian. This is plainly incorrect. Let's see why!

Despite popular debates' interest in the problem of evil, scholars have mostly focused on whether evil poses an intellectual challenge, probabilistically, against the existence of God. Alternatively, a lesser focused discussion in the problem of evil is the growing movement of anti-theodical literature. In this interview, Dr. Sami Pihlström introduces us to anti-theodicy and its nuances.
Dr Sami Pihlstöm is a Professor of Philosophy of Religion at the University of Helsinki. He is one of the leading proponents and defenders of anti-theodicy in contemporary literature.

The Akedah, the command by God to sacrifice Isaac. Is God good? Is God evil? How can we wrestle and understand this nigh impossible task?
Central to the Torah in Genesis 22, is God's Elohim's command to Abraham to sacrifice Isaac as a test of Abraham's faith. Many thinkers have wrestled with this idea, ranging from Kant, to Kierkegaard, and to Joshua Yen himself.
In this episode, me and Laurance analyse Genesis 22, what it means and how it is applicable to our understanding of God, faith, and morality.

The existential problem of evil plays a significant role in discussions surrounding the problem of evil. Unlike the conceptual presentation of the logical and evidential problem of evil, the existential problem of evil challenges whether God is worthy of our worship even if He exists.
In this video, I approach the existential problem of evil from three perspectives, the difference between the conceptual and practical discussion on evil, Ivan Karamazov's rejection of the ticket, and Price's distinction between belief in and belief that. I hope you enjoy

I've been attending Roman Catholic mass for four months, these are the three reasons why I have decided I will not be a Roman Catholic. These reasons are not only focused on Biblical or Scriptural reasons, but also seen from a psychological and philosophical perspective. I am not writing or making this video to make an attack on Catholicism. Far from it, I appreciate and recognise the importance of the Church and the Pope on Christian faith.
However, these are my personal reasons and explanations for why Roman Catholicism isn't a commitment that I am willing to make.

Nevertheless, in our recent philosophy lecture on Post-Modernism, it is blatantly clear that Jordan Peterson isn't exactly correct in his analysis, and this ought to be brought to our attention.
For the full analysis on postmodernism, check the brilliant video made by our dear friend Benjamin Qin:

One key question in Dostoevsky's philosophy is the idea of whether humans are naturally inclined to do evil. Are humans good? Are humans evil? Is there even a correct answer to this question.
In this video extract, I try to answer this question and view Dostoevsky's philosophy from the perspective of Heideggarian thrownness, in other words, to say that it actually is a bit of both, that humans are simultaneously good and evil is something which has to be synthesised.

With failures in Hong Kong, Afghanistan and now with Ukraine, the question becomes evident, has the West which have supported values of freedom, democracy and rights failed?
In this video, we try to answer this question turning to multiple examples of strange and ineffective actions by the West which seem to only hurt the civilians instead of those who are actually intended.

One key feature of Russian Orthodox teachings is the importance of the mystery of God and the importance of the heart. This is something that Dostoevsky touches upon beautifully in this quote which can be found in a letter he wrote to his brother, Micheal Dostoevsky.

A lot of people ask me what the biggest problem I have with Christianity...
In this video, I give my opinion on what I think is Christianity's, or more specifically, apologist's biggest problem.
Now other atheists and Christians have, in the past, identified other problems. Animal suffering, problem of evil etc. And to them, maybe that's the biggest problem.
However, as a Christian, I feel that the biggest problem isn't related to the philosophy, rather it is the way we live. And this is what we address today.

We constantly hear people talking about different initiatives and movements. But let us ask ourselves a deeper question, how many of these people actually support and do anything for these movements?
In this video, we talk about the problems of merely talking and the need to have more action and application to those around us. It is one thing promoting different concepts, but it is another thing embodying these ideas into our lives and showing them to others.
Our life is always the best example of what we believe, so I recommend that we all embark on this journey together towards the truth.

Whenever we talk ethics in philosophy, we commonly raise the is-ought fallacy.
In this video, we examine what the is-ought fallacy is, and especially whether it really is a problem and the relationship between is and ought. This discussion is short and concise, but also wide-ranging, touching upon Moore, Hume, but also phenomenologists like Hegel and Heidegger.

Disagreement is one of the greatest gifts of mankind. It is the heart of development, improvement and help.

Oftentimes, we hear the idea that Christianity is the cause of a lot of the injustices in the world.
In this video, we examine the actual role that Christianity, and in some extention, religion as a whole played in the development of society and how this impacts our lives.
To me, there is no better way to understand the role of Christianity than to turn to a bit of history and also understand where each of us approach the topic from.
Of course, not all ideas are the same, and we have to approach every argument individually, but I hope this provides some food for thought.

Critical Race Theory is one of the big "intellectual" developments in the world of academia and society.
In this video, we examine the implications of this ideology and its philosophy, discussing whether it is worthwhile, or perhaps, more importantly, why it can lead to dangerous offshoots and ideological twists.
To me, there are a lot of dangers to believing in Critical Race Theory and spreading it to people in society because it surrounds a very important concept, that of individual responsibility and effect.
By blaming everything on a foreign system or an institution, moral guilt and blame is shifted in a radically dangerous way.
I hope you enjoy this video and find it thought-provoking.
I want to make it very clear that this is in no way supporting racial discrimination or disrespect. Rather, it is a warning that one must not make "racial discrimination" the only problem or the main topic when discussing personal development.

Sin is one of the most mystical experiences of humanity.
We all know what it is, we all experience with it, we all wrestle with it. But at the same time, there appears to be a dialectical twist to said sin in which you are able to draw closer to the good through the sin.
Warren and I will discuss this phenomenon whilst also discussing the nature of God and the divine.

Sometimes in the world, the question dictates the answers.
As a result, it is very important that we not only ask the right questions but also be wary of trick questions out to trap us.
In this video, we examine this phenomena, going through simple but deceptive questions like "does God exist?" or "should a woman have a right over her own body?"
I hope you find this discussion helpful and thought-provoking.

Heidegger said life is "being-in-the-world" and I totally agree.
It is one thing to play around and flirt with high and lofty ideas, but it is also important to acknowledge and wrestle with their physical and spiritual consequences in our lives.

In this long episode, we begin with Quixote and end with freedom and evil.
I hope you enjoy.
The problem of evil has managed to stand the test of time as one of the strongest arguments in the field of apologetics.
As a result, I have decided that we should approach the problem of evil as the next part of this series on The Apologist's Handbook. Now the problem of evil is massive, and there is really no direct way in which we can tackle the problem in one video, as a result, to do the topic justice, I plan to go over it separately in multiple videos, each video discussing a specific aspect of the video.
In this video, we go over the purpose of theodicy, why we make it, and what we should keep in mind when we discuss this problem. I hope you enjoy.

We've all seen it before. Someone claims that they are the victim, then uses the label of victimhood to justify all of their actions.

Victimization and Oppression is rife in our society.
In this video, Warren and I discuss the ramifications of victimization and oppression, how both of these features often lead to extremism and ideology in society.
We also discuss some of the dangers of "activism", how such actions may betray or represent deep-seated racism and patronization, targetting poorly the lives of those people are proclaiming to support.
I hope you enjoy this discussion.
We frequently talk about the fear of God in Christianity and the importance to embrace responsibility for our actions.

Circumcision is an interesting topic in the Old Testament.
Some look at it from a scientific perspective and talk about it's benefits, where as others may instead approach it from religious reasons.

To leave one's home and to enter into the world is often the highest and most difficult stage in one's life.
One has to leave behind the familiar, trade it with the unknown. This is a stage of turmoil and difficulty, but why do we often hear God commanding us to do just that, to leave our comfort and enter the world?
To me and Warren, the world is a field in which one can learn about oneself, to develop oneself. And it is this ability for one to unlock a somewhat boundless, divine potential, which makes it worthwhile to enter into the unknown, the world.

Silence is always utilised in literature and discourse to great effect.
In the works of Camus and Pascal, silence is seen as a key facet of existential angst. To Dostoevsky, however, silence is that which deeps one's understanding and walk with the divine and the world.
In this video, we discuss the nature of this silence and how it impacts our understanding of the world.

There's contradictions in multiple historical texts, is this a problem?
In this short clip, Zac and I discuss the issue of historical sources being inconsistent. While this is more focused on the resurrection, as the question was raised during a discussion about the resurrection, I felt it was greatly apropos to broader historical questions as well.
Tying in knowledge from the Tet Offensive, Punic Wars, and more, when approaching it from a historical lens, note this video is about the historical lens and not the theological lens, it is apparent that a few inconsistencies is not a big problem at all.
Responsibility is a theme found throughout history from existentialism to religion to Spiderman.

I recently came across a video named Why God Does Not Exist, today we check it out.
I found this video greatly insightful as it approaches the topic from quite a unique angle. Most videos approach the topic of the existence of God from the problem of evil, or perhaps a direct critique of the Bible, but this turned to empiricism as well as some more psychological/ probabilistic claims.
As such, I felt that it would be a good video to discuss.

Gender and science have always had a very interesting relationship.
In this video, I am joined by my good friend Warren to discuss multiple approaches about gender. Instead of trying to defeat any argument, or demonstrate whether one view is right or wrong, we attempt to provide a structure or guideline upon which any discussion on sex and gender should follow.
I hope you enjoy this discussion.

Getting into Nietzsche and don’t know where to start?
In this video, we discuss Nietzsche’s masterpiece Beyond Good and Evil, talking about its context, why I recommend it so much and also how to get the most from reading this work.
Nietzsche is a profound thinker, and it is a great joy tackling his ideas and aphorisms.
Sex and Gender is a very contentious and interesting topic.
In this video, I respond, as requested, to a video made by the YouTuber Forrest Valkai. There, he discusses a variety of different ideas and scientific research about sex differentiation, gender and other interesting ideas.
As someone who has discussed and researched this topic in the past (though not to the depth of Forrest) I felt that this was perhaps the best one of his videos to respond to and might be the most fruitful theme for discussion.
Therefore, I decided to make this video in response to his overall arguments, share my thoughts and ideas about the data, the interpretation and other interesting features of his arguments.
I hope you enjoy the video.

Nietzsche is a weird one, he's extremely controversial but he is loved by society.

What can we learn from the first two chapters of Genesis? A lot actually.
In this video, we discuss a plethora of different topics from psychological to philosophical to scientifical. Using these approaches, I aim to give you a comprehensive guide to understanding more about the first part of the Bible, the creation. This is a very profound and insightful text and is often abused by critiques of the New Atheists. Rather than responding to these pointless arguments, I felt that it is better for us to look at these texts in a positive light to see what we can learn from them.
I hope you find these videos helpful and for more videos on this Biblical series, make sure to stay tuned on this channel.

What are the solutions to ideology?
In this discussion, we turn to the nature of the scapegoat and it's anthropological and psychological implications towards ideology. How can the innocent scapegoat of Girard's theory help our understanding of ideology and how can it further our defence against the mindless ideologues of the 20th century?

Religion makes good people do bad things. How can we respond to this?
I think there are two obvious responses, one from an empirical statistical view and another from a theological perspective. In this video, we examine both of them and see how they successfully overcome the critique raised by the atheist.

Today, we weigh in on the contentious issue of taking the knee. We discuss it's political and a-political variants, giving our two cents about the action and when it should be allowed.
Like most actions, it is clear that there are times when it should be encouraged and times when it should be out-right frowned upon, that is the question I aim to answer in this video—when is it OK?

Is Craig wrong on the meaning of life? Maybe.
Recently, I came across a video made by the Genetically Modified Skeptic responding to an article written by William Lane Craig. I found this interesting and wanted to give some commentary on existentialism and also give a few responses to GMS.
Of course, as I have said previously on this channel and in my discussions with Zac, I don’t completely agree with all of Craig’s statements on God and meaning. However, I also find that there are some errors in Drew’s video and I aim to cover them here.

I agree with a lot of what Ben Shapiro says, but there are some things which I disagree with.
In this video, I critique some of the approaches he and a lot of right-leaning commentators have about the Hong Kong protests. Instead of critiquing their concerns about freedom, it is more a critique of the omission of some parts of the movement (the same parts being not omitted in their critique of other protest movements like the BLM).
I share my thoughts and I hope you find it thought-provoking and informative.
