The Good Neighbor Bad Citizen Paradox

David Gornoski
About this episode

David Gornoski sits down with Domenic Scarcella for a fascinating conversation on why a good neighbor means becoming a bad citizen and more. Why does our journey matter as opposed to instant gratification? What do the stations of the cross teach us about statist tyranny? How does turning the other cheek help us defeat evil?
