Summary

Segment 1



• Modern culture has made “safety” its idol; every discomfort is treated like trauma.



• Scripture flips the script: danger isn’t just outside - it’s inside you.



• If your biggest threat is the outside world, you’ll live in fear. If it’s your own heart, you’ll run to Christ.



Segment 2



• “Safety-based” psychology is invading schools; students are learning to pathologize conviction.



• Polyvagal Theory (born 1994) ignores man’s spiritual nature—an anthropological train wreck.



• The Bible says transformation comes by renewing the mind, not regulating vagus nerves.



Segment 3



• The real concern is kids weaponizing therapy language against parents.



• Britain officially affirms cousin marriage—a symbol of moral decay in the West.



• Even theologians like N.T. Wright drift from biblical authority, showing the slope is real.



Segment 4



• Cousin marriage bans once built Western civilization—now they’re being reversed.



• Germany’s “polyandrous priestess” and IVF jewelry reveal what happens when sacredness dies.



• The decline isn’t just weird—it’s spiritual rot disguised as progress.

How do you become a better version of you? That is the question

that does not get answered by a raging trend. Don't you worry, you're going to hear about it soon.

1:05.7

I'm quite convinced of it. It is called polyvago theory. Started talking about this yesterday on Wretched Radio.

1:12.7

This is a secular, it really should be called polyvago idea. I'm not even sure it rises to the
