It made the case that separating one's identity from what they do is false and that a low view of work leads to disastrous cultural attitudes.

I'd like to talk to you about a new book Full Time Work in the Meaning of Life by David Bonson. In a time where work is being heralded as the cause of societal pain, depression and anxiety, full time is screaming the exact opposite that we're created to work and that our work provides unique meaning and purpose in our lives.

There's no shortage of books telling people to work less, to find balance, to think less of career and more of things that bring them happiness. In full time, Bonson makes the case that our understanding of work and its role in our lives is deeply flawed.

He argues that the time has come to stop tiptoeing around the issues that matter, that separating one's identity from what they do is demonstrably false and that a low view of work is leading to disastrous policy proposals and cultural attitudes.

It is in work of every kind that we discover our meaning and purpose. A significant and successful life is when rooted in Full-Time productivity and cultivation of God's created world.

Now, I want to ask you about that in just one second, Jordan. First, let's talk about your privacy on the Internet. Well, folks, we know that big tech is not a big fan of people on the right side of the aisle. Everybody should have the right to express themselves freely. But the big tech monopoly instead, they've opted for silencing tactics and censorship.

The first rule that you talk about, Jordan, is not to carelessly denigrate social institutions or creative achievement.

And I'm bringing him up for a reason. He's he's a lefty by temperament and by heart. And his first objection, but he's very thoughtful and quick, his first objection, you know, I pointed out all this data showing that by every possible objective measure, everything is way better than it was certainly 100 years ago, but certainly even 20 years ago, even on the environmental front in the main.
