Summary

Today we’re joined by Stella Morabito, author of "The Weaponization of Loneliness: How Tyrants Stoke Our Fear of Isolation to Silence, Divide, and Conquer," to discuss how the Left uses social isolation as a political weapon and how we can fight back. First, we talk about how we are hardwired to connect with others and therefore why social isolation is such a powerful tool to be used against us. We look at Surgeon General Vivek Murthy's comments on the loneliness epidemic and explain that his plans for combatting loneliness actually lead us down the path of more government control and ultimately more loneliness. We explain why people get strength from the private sphere and why the government can't control us from the private sphere. Then we take a look at the drive to socially engineer our societies and relationships and how this was exploited during COVID by elites who never had to endure the consequences. We also look at the theological implications and explain biblically why denying our innate nature leads to depression and chaos.
