About this episode
We live in a generation that is obsessed with the past, but only so that it can control the future. Our cultural vandals are busy tearing down statues, renaming buildings, and rewriting history books. They are engaged in a great project of memory-holing, of trying to make the names of certain men rot. They are, whether they know it or not, operating on a biblical principle, but with a completely inverted set of values. They are trying to bless what God has cursed and curse what God has blessed. The world understands, in a dim and distorted way, that reputation matters. What it does not understand is that the final verdict on any man's name is not rendered by a committee of historians at Yale, or by a mob with a rope, or by a vote in the Senate.
