Ep. 78 The Weekly: American gods

Thinker Sensitive

Ryan discusses the gods of the present age—envisaging the Western world as deeply religious, even if not in the traditional sense.

"Over the last few episodes, I have attempted to demolish the false gods and idols of our age. I have been in the process of a kind of deconstruction, but not the kind of deconstruction that has become popular today, not a deconstruction of classical religion, but a deconstruction of modern religion—which I suppose is both ancient and new at the same time."
