Let's Talk About Morals

A Memorial Day Reflection

In today’s Substack Live, I dove deep into the question of morals—why we’ve drifted away from clear moral judgment, why we’ve embraced false equivalencies, and why it matters profoundly right now, during this pivotal moment for democracy. From Biden’s cognitive decline cover-up to the existential threat posed by authoritarianism, the stakes have never been higher.

I discussed:

  • Why moral clarity isn’t naive—it’s essential.

  • How “sophisticated confusion” paralyzes action and empowers authoritarianism.

  • The difference between acknowledging complexity and surrendering to moral paralysis.

  • The urgent need for moral maturity in our political judgments.

It’s time we stopped treating morality like a childish fairy tale and started recognizing it as the backbone of democratic life.

This Memorial Day weekend, let’s remember what truly matters—and what we must fight to preserve.
