To Greg: Is it really a “21st century white male impulse to answer all the questions for everyone” or “to try to answer everyone’s questions for them”? I mean, here you are, on this podcast, as a 21st century, white male, answering people’s questions for them. I think we can agree that there is a long and esteemed line of non-white, male people answering people’s questions for them, both in the Bible and throughout history. There are 21st century female non-white people answering people’s questions for them and nobody bats an eye. Is this practice really such a bad thing? I’m appealing to you to drop the use of the “21st century white male” trope.
