In this episode, Dr. John Patrick delves into the importance of having "hard points of reference" in our society. Reflecting on Peter Hitchens' Scruton Memorial Lecture, he discusses how our preference for appearances over reality and the loss of adversarial discussion have impacted various facets of life, including medicine, education, and culture. Dr. Patrick explores the consequences of diminishing foundational beliefs, the role of the Bible in historical education, and the shifts in family and societal structures. He also critically examines the impact of multiculturalism in medicine and the dangers of a society moving towards an executive state.
