In this episode of Against the Mountains of Madness, Jason and John launch a spirited critique of the sexual revolution and its consequences for individuals, families, and society. Starting with a viral story about Annie Knight—Australia’s “most promiscuous woman”—they examine the tragicomic irony of a culture that glorifies promiscuity yet leaves women and men profoundly unhappy and unfulfilled.
The discussion ranges widely:
• Monogamy vs. Polygamy: Why exclusive marriage fosters stability and virtue, and why polygamy and promiscuity corrode trust.
• Consequences of the Sexual Revolution: Divorce, broken families, disillusioned men, and women struggling to reconcile past choices with a desire for commitment.
• Virtue as Habit: How chastity, like sobriety, must be cultivated—once lost, it’s hard to recover.
• Cultural Undermining: From no-fault divorce to pornography, how laws and customs shifted to normalize vice.
• Religion & Morality: Why Christian teachings on marriage and family remain the most rational framework for human flourishing.
• Hope for Renewal: The possibility of a “sexual counter-revolution” as younger generations rediscover traditional values and reject the sterile promises of modernity.
It’s a provocative, challenging conversation—sometimes biting, sometimes humorous—that calls listeners to reconsider the costs of a culture that treats sex as entertainment instead of a sacred bond.
