How to Kill a Culture and How to Save One
Let’s face it: things out there seem pretty bleak nowadays. In the face of this sort of cultural pollution, it’s easy to despair, to resort to cutting oneself off from the culture at large. Our culture is a runaway train, and if we don’t try to stop it, we’ll just be the last ones to get hit. In this session, Trent takes a close look at the ideologies fueling our culture, identifying the thinkers and ideas that have undermined the western world and brought us to this moment so that we can learn an apologetic for building a future-proof counter-culture.
Trent Emmack was born in the Ozark mountains of Southwestern Missouri, but now lives in the Shenandoah Valley in Virginia. He brings energy and nonstop ideas to the table and is always ready to try something new or dangerous. Trent is a deep thinker, has a well-informed and unique perspective on current culture, and is passionate about distilling big ideas into easy-to-understand principles. When speaking, Trent loves to incorporate personal stories that make his sessions hilarious and energetic, but always with the purpose of reinforcing the bigger ideas he is trying to communicate. In addition to speaking, Trent is an admissions counselor for Unbound. In what little free time he has left, Trent can usually be found reading dry history, lifting weights, riding his motorcycle, or getting up to whatever adventure he and his friends have most recently devised.
