“People in North Korea don’t die from cancer; they die from infection and hunger mostly.”

I was joined by Yeonmi Park recently to discuss various topics, including her incredible story of escaping North Korea, being a slave in China, and Yeonmi’s current opinions on issues in modern eastern and western society.

Yeonmi is a North Korean defector and human rights activist trying to shine a light on the atrocities still being committed in North Korea by the current Kim regime. She wrote her experiences into a bestseller, ‘In Order to Survive.’ She tells stories of her childhood and escaping to remind the world of how terrible things are for North Koreans.

"You do not have the freedom even to travel abroad; it’s an entire black hole of information. You don’t know outside that cave what’s happening. But of course, the leaders like Kim Jong-il went to school in Switzerland, but the people at the bottom, most of them, have never even seen the map of the world."

My interview with Yeonmi Park has already amassed 170,000 views in the first 24 hours. It's an incredibly sad and intense conversation. Yeonmi shares her journey of escaping North Korea and moving to China with her family.

"I still remember, I escaped in spring, in March 2007. One day, I had a really bad stomach ache, and my mom took me to the hospital. But in North Korea, there’s no electricity. There’s no x-ray machines. None of that. Literally a nurse using one needle to inject every patient in the hospital. People don’t die from cancer in North Korea, they die from infection and hunger mostly."

The third clip from my talk with Yeonmi. Our podcast is available to listen to on Apple Podcasts, Spotify and Google podcasts if you don't have time to watch it on YouTube.

University's Forgotten Purpose to Illuminate Homan Beings.

"I’m not a catastrophist. There are many wonderful people teaching in many institutions around the world... While I say that, the universities have by and large fundamentally forgotten, if not betrayed, their fundamental value proposition."

The latest podcast is now live with Dr. Stephen Blackwood (Ralston College). We discuss the inner workings of philosophical aspects about social constructs, the spiritual ‘culture crisis’, his experience developing Ralston College and more.

"We’re at a place where this other pandemic began, and while we’re living through COVID we should also understand the intellectual pandemic. This goes to our heart and core. We are displacing ourselves by allowing charlatans to wreck the intellectual standards of the Western world."

I sat down with Rex Murphy to discuss a variety of topics including his impressive career, Canadian politics, western culture, the woke culture wars, changes in universities, the crumbling study of the humanities, New Finland, Toronto, and more.

It is in our individual capacity to confront the potential of the future and to transform it into the actuality of the present. The way we determine what it is that the world transforms into is a consequence of our ethical, conscious choices. We wake up in the morning and confront the day, with all its possibilities and terrors. We chart a course, making decisions for better or worse. We understand full well that we can do evil and bring terrible things into Being. But we also know that we can do good, if not great, things. We have the best chance of doing the latter if we act properly, as a consequence of being truthful, responsible, grateful, and humble.

The right attitude to the horror of existence— the alternative to resentment, deceit, and arrogance— is the assumption that there is enough of you, society, and the world to justify existence. That is faith in yourself, your fellow man, and the structure of existence itself: the belief that there is enough to you to contend with existence and transform your life into the best it could be. Perhaps you could live in a manner whose nobility, grandeur, and intrinsic meaning would be of sufficient import that you could tolerate the negative elements of existence without becoming so bitter as to transform everything around you into something resembling hell.

"It’s ironically a contradiction with where I come from where we have a powerful group, or more powerful than other groups. Lebanon has issues, but people still express their opinions there despite stories, extreme stories, of killing here and there. They can teach freely, they can criticize freely, and I do criticize things there. I’ve never imagined in my whole life that my problems would be from Canada, and not coming from where I come from."

My most recent podcast was released today with Dr Rima Azar. Dr. Rima Azar and I sit down to discuss the importance of free speech and what happened with the recent controversy surrounding her blog and has led to her suspension at Mount Allison University in Sackville, New Brunswick.

Here is another clip from my podcast with Dr. Rima Azar where we talk about the students who went after her.

I’ve dealt with ethics boards at my own university, and they have a policy that every complaint should be investigated thoroughly. I’m not very fond of that policy particularly, because there are a lot of people who cause a fair bit of trouble for absolutely no reason. It seems to me that complaints need to pass something approximating a reasonable threshold before they’re dealt with seriously.
