Episode 3: Bryan and Cooper complete their series on C.S. Lewis's The Abolition of Man, digging into chapters two and three. They unpack Lewis's case against subjectivism and trace what happens when a society rejects the Tao (natural law) altogether. Along the way, Bryan and Cooper connect Lewis's warnings to Genesis 3, the Tower of Babel, and the nature of naming, and explore Lewis's chilling concept of "the conditioners"—a technocratic elite who remake humanity in their own image.
