Dr Koontz and Rev Fisk talk about materialism in the human heart which overestimates the visible, Carroll Quigley’s incomplete view of WWII, why various nations entered the war, the origin of the moniker “Greatest Generation”, technologies that affected the war, and why the narrative of America’s intrinsic virtue distorts our understanding.

Dr Koontz and Rev Fisk continue last week’s discussion by looking at the layers of a civilization’s cycles relating to its fragility or stability. They talk about what goes into forming a coherent group identity by looking at Lutheranism in America and then Japan in the modern era. They talk about Japan’s modernization and the success of Shinto throughout it, the growth and eventual plateau of population, and the inspiration of young men.

Dr Koontz and Rev Fisk begin this third part of the series on civilization by examining the change from documenting personal influence to material influence on history. They talk about making generalizations of history, the cycles that civilizations follow, the effects of urbanization and industrialization on people groups, and the difference between material and spiritual flourishing. They end by prefacing their next show with a discussion of understanding the simple things first.
