Topic: David Hume

Jay Dyer critiques Enlightenment philosophers like Voltaire and David Hume, calling them "goblins" who sought to destroy "throne and altar." He argues that the French Revolution introduced radical atheism and Jacobinism, which eventually led to the secularization of the West. Dyer claims that the "Dark Ages" is a term invented by atheists to disparage a period of high Christian civilization.

The materialist worldview, championed by figures like Sam Harris, is criticized for its inability to account for free will or objective morals. Jay Dyer references David Hume’s "is-ought" dilemma to show that one cannot derive moral obligations from purely physical matter. He argues that atheism is philosophically incoherent because it undermines the possibility of knowledge and truth.
