A batch of the best highlights from what Stefan's read, .
When these two together, faith and reason, get together, when they shake hands they ward off the Gnostic catastrophe. And it's always a catastrophe, and it's always going to get taken over by tyrants or run itself into the destructive ground. This is the secret sauce of the West, you can write it down, it's faith bolstered and checked by reason and reason supported and checked by faith, that's what makes the West work.

Or to shrug off the lies and become an honest man worthy of respect both by one’s children and contemporaries.
