It is my contention, I believe obvious among any casual observation, that US society and culture, is in peril. As a nation, we are adrift at sea, hence “unmoored” from the safety and protection of good harbor, of a dock set upon a stable foundation. This setting has happened because over the previous 4-5 decades, knowledge, understanding, and appreciation of the nation’s history has fallen so that there no longer is correct comprehension of the events of our founding.

Episode 1 examines why “crisis and turmoil” has happened, including current evidence that it is happening, and who are the principle “players” in this “crisis and turmoil.” We will talk about the three major "crucial ills" that have emerged over the past 50 years that I think are central to understanding the situation.

We do not fully grasp the uniqueness of the US civic system (we now see “Democracies” everywhere and we think “casual, normal”), and in doing so we devalue the factors that went into the creation. That creation, and the foundation as well as the issues we are facing, are of a spiritual nature, and that comes out in “who” are the principle participants in the struggle, in the causing of the unmooring.

The crisis that we discussed in episode 1 really is only signs or evidence of the deeper issue that we have lost touch with a foundation. Yet due to the historical forgetfulness, many do not realize just how unique the US civic system was. Note, "unique" does not mean our tone or viewpoint is that of triumphalism or trying to suggest the US was ever perfect or singularly special.

The USA version of civic society was set fully on the concept of citizen-only structure. This raised the question or concept of “how could you assume citizens would not just devolved into some self-only concern about living life” and/or “assume they would follow rules on their own, their own self-defined rules.” All other previous societies had a built-in enforcement concept with the powerful central ruler (ie, King, Emperor, nobility, religious leaders). The US was rejecting all of these options for rules.

Episode three further examines the context of what I perceive as a crisis in which USA society is in peril. It is my premise that there are two groups struggling at the center of the national tension, and both have incorrect grasp on history. That tension is one of worldview, and a passion for finding the best path forward for the nation. That is laudable, and yet due to the historical forgetfulness, I believe both are thinking in terms that are misguided.

These two characters the "Conservative Christian" and the "Progressive." Neither are bad or evil or trying intentionally to "do wrong" or "bring harm" to the other or to the society.
