A Great Father's Day Movie - The Big Picture with Jack Atherton
June 11, 2025
Growing up, one of the most vivid memories I have is watching "The Magnificent Seven" with my father, a film that beautifully underscores the courage embedded in family responsibility. This week, Jack Atherton, reflects on how such values can reignite the greatness of America. Through the lens of classic cinema, we explore the timeless lessons of responsibility and the unyielding bravery of everyday heroes—parents—and how these themes resonate in our modern lives. It's a heartfelt reminder that the foundation of our society isn't built by government mandates but by individuals taking charge of their faith, family, and community.
Our conversation also navigates the philosophical waters of Greek concepts, entropy, and entelechy, to shed light on the delicate balance of change and potential in our world. Jack unravels how entropy, if left unchecked, leads to disorder in families and governments alike, while entelechy shows us the path to realizing potential without spiraling into chaos. It's a compelling narrative, intertwining philosophical insights with practical reflections on democratic values and the essence of progress. Tune in as we journey through these powerful themes, blending personal stories with profound wisdom to offer a fresh perspective on maintaining order and embracing meaningful change in our ever-evolving society.
