He also likes to discuss contemporary philosophy and science and is interested in putting together a scientifically comprehensive worldview that integrates metaphysics and traditional views of the soul.
Anthropology and ancient history are important as well and Aarvoll is interested in discussing theories of Atlantis, and alternative theories of human evolution and migration.
This weeks' podcast was especially interesting to hear both of your thoughts about the future of the nation and that to gather is the only solution to thrive. I just saw this assessment by Noah Sanders from Redeeming the Dirt titled "How free is your family's table?". This can help to determine how independent from the system one is and I wonder how well RTTL in Arkansas would do? It would be safe from city folk, being hard to get to. I wonder about food and other things - which for operational security should NOT be disclosed to the public now that I think of it - yet decision makers might want to check out what are the weak links and how to shore them up?
If anyone is interested it starts off with 25 quick questions. Five minutes. Find out where your family stands on the path from dependence to food freedom, and the next step to take this season.

I especially found the latter part of the most recent RTTL podcast talking about the nature of the decline of civilization very interesting
and
as a Believer in Lord Jesus Christ's Gospel 1 Cor 15:1-4
I am surprised and relieved to learn Eric while it seemed more of a philosopher disclosed he was a christian - Praise the Lord!
"the gospel By which also ye are saved, [believe that] Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: 1 Corinthians 15:1-4; [Jesus] Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins ..., through the forbearance of God; ...by the law of faith. Romans Chapter 3:25-27

Greetings Eric, I don't know if the enrollment portal is of significance yet it has been a week and RTTL tech support had not helped me activate the member enrollment. The recent RTTL email has a link to a video that instructs us to activate the enrollment portal so we can create a password. New members having problems activating the member enrollment portal are to contact RTTM membership if it does not work yet often there fails to be a response when I contact membership.
Oct 3 I was told to access my account through the member portal yet it won't accept my log in name and I have tried it different ways dozens of times. Is there someone up on the software that can either reset my password or activate the membership enrollment portal?
