About this episode

Ken Jensen discusses morality, ethics, and critiques of political tactics while promoting his books.

Ken Jensen describes his background in environmental toxicology and medical devices, then argues morality can be grounded without religion. He traces a “true, good, beautiful” triad from Plato through Vitruvius and maps it to objective reality, reciprocity/voluntary exchange, and beauty/grace, contrasting it with a destructive “DOI” (destruction, opposition, inversion) force. He critiques management tactics like permanent crisis, “red dot” diversions, and misuse of Romans 13, citing Katrina clergy response teams. He promotes a “dartboard” model over left-right politics, says ethics and morality are inseparable (Nuremberg vs Nazi view), warns about EU-style centralization, CBDCs, and praises ridicule as a defense. He discusses sound money and presents his books The Enemies of Reason and The Memo. 00:00 Meet Ken Jensen 01:02 Morality Without God 02:23 Early Doubts and Clues 05:13 Climate Debate and First Principles 06:15 Entropy Uppers and Downers 09:02 Religion as Binding Core 10:46 Words Shape Thought 13:38 Plato Truth Good Beauty 17:47 Rome Constantine and Control 20:26 Katrina Clergy Response Teams 23:12 Triad Mapped to Trinity 29:02 Dorothy Model and Inversion 30:43…
