Sam Sorbo: Challenging the Culture of Silence
We really have to stand firm, because the problem is that their goal is to get us to lie. Once they compromise you, then you're compromised. Wow, so you know, we need to be galvanized, we need to be encouraged.
Have you ever felt like certain words are being used as weapons in today's society? Sam Sorbo, an actress, filmmaker, and author, certainly thinks so. In this episode of 'American Medicine Today', hosts Kimberly Bermel Benati, Ethan Uecker, and Dr. Alfred Benati sit down with Sorbo to discuss her book 'Words for Warriors'. Sorbo's passionate about fighting back against what she sees as a cultural war on language led by leftist movements.
She believes that this battle over words is more than just semantics; it's about preserving truth and empowering individuals to speak freely. Sorbo also touches on the idea of NPC (Non-Player Character) culture, where people mindlessly repeat talking points without critical thought. She argues that education plays a crucial role in combating this trend and stresses the importance of parents taking an active role in their children's learning.
This isn't just about academics but about teaching kids to think for themselves and question the status quo. In addition to her book, Sorbo shares insights about her new TV show on Epic, which aims to further her mission of promoting free speech and critical thinking. Her conversation with the hosts is candid and fiery, offering a fresh perspective on the ongoing cultural debates. If you're interested in the intersections of language, education, and politics, this episode is a must-listen.
