    I absolutely love how she called out that mom who was about to take her fussy baby out. “Don’t feel like you have to go. Please.” Living out her words and message in real life. Actually very touching.

    An incredible talk that puts a finger on the button that the world needs pressed.

    Any theory that does not include consciousness lacks an explanation of its own origin. <br>- Jimmy Marquardsen

    We must share this with everyone. The way forward with sound hope and confidence. And brilliantly delivered.

    I am quite sure that the TechnoFascists that might listen to or who read this will have no clue what she is saying. No wonder Peter Thiel is struggling with his sanity. He does not have the words, capacities, or understanding of what she is saying. This woman needs to be heard around the world.

    I immediately listen to every Mary Harrington talk that comes across my feed. Each time I learn something new and I never tire of hearing her ideas. The part about Jesus and the bread was incredibly deep and I will continue to ponder it for the rest of my days. ❤❤tysm for having her speak, love her and love Hillsdale College

    The article for First Things last month on this topic makes a superb introduction to Aquinas, incidentally.

    I am afraid I&apos;m quickly becoming a diehard fan of Mary Harrington. Mary is obviously very smart and witty, but what I find very special about her is the chuckle - how she takes on serious stuff with a why-so-serious attitude. She can&apos;t stop herself from being entertaining even when dealing with metaphysics. &nbsp;I&apos;m glad and thankful she&apos;s sharing those very precious gifts with the rest of us.
