David Gornoski, drawing on René Girard’s mimetic theory, defines the Antichrist as a systemic spirit within modern liberalism that parodies Christian values to gain moral authority. He argues that this “Totalitarianism of Care” uses “victimology” to justify scapegoating opponents under the guise of preventing persecution. Gornoski critiques liberalism for lacking a transcendent foundation, leading to social chaos and the state acting as a “false god” that revives the scapegoat mechanism. He warns of a “Technological Antichrist” and proposes the “Personhood Revolution” based on Christ’s non-violence as an alternative.
In this short discussion, the speaker shares a personal experience with a carnivore-keto diet period that appeared to “reset” their metabolism. After following a strict low-carb or keto approach, they could eventually eat a balanced, mixed-macronutrient plate—combining meat, eggs, dairy, fruit, and starchy carbohydrates—without the usual negative effects many people experience when consuming fats and carbs together. They describe this as feeling like a return to a “normal” or traditional way of eating, where you don’t have to perpetually restrict one of the three major macros (fat, carbs, or protein). The speaker contrasts this with modern reality, noting that people today often feel “completely messed up” when trying to eat this way, unlike previous generations in the 1950s–1970s who regularly enjoyed butter on potatoes alongside steak without issue. They question what has changed in the food system, suggesting something unnatural or harmful—possibly intentional interference by “psychopaths”—is preventing humans from tolerating this once-normal dietary pattern.
Psalm 119 is Scripture’s longest psalm and a passionate love song to God’s Word. It celebrates the beauty, authority, and reliability of God’s law, statutes, and promises, using an acrostic structure built on the Hebrew alphabet to express fullness and completeness of devotion. The psalmist wrestles honestly with affliction, persecution, and inner weakness, yet keeps returning to the conviction that God’s word gives life, wisdom, purity, and guidance. Famous lines such as “Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path” capture its central theme: the believer’s daily walk is sustained, corrected, and encouraged through continual meditation on and obedience to what God has spoken. Psalm 119 ultimately calls us to delight in God’s instructions, cling to them in suffering, and trust that His commands are good, true, and life-giving for all who seek Him wholeheartedly.
