BHoP#069 The Shiny Staircase of Harmless Frivolity
Dr Koontz and Rev Fisk talk about the effect of urbanization on culture and media, the origin of the dime novel, and Jewish immigration to America leading to the birth of Hollywood. They also discuss mass-produced culture throughout American history, how the originally unintended effects of film are now intentionally used to shape culture, and what purposefully cultivating the culture of your family looks like.
Mentioned in this episode: An Empire of Their Own: How the Jews Invented Hollywood

Evidently one method of communication regarding how a war was going was counting the bodies floating down the (Jordan) river.

Susan Howatch wrote a book entitled ‘The High Flyer’. It delves into the City of London and it’s culture. I remember Pastor Fisk saying something about the power concentrated in Great Britain/the Royals/banking etc. This book more or less confirms this.

Thanks for this. I’d be interested in hearing your thoughts on intentional communities and the history thereof like Oneida and others. Are they a goal today or should we be like leaven in society? Thank you both most sincerely for your ministry and quality output.
