What Matters Most in Life?

You might notice that I post a lot of Prager University videos on here.  They are not lacking for content and aesthetics.



This week, Dennis discusses what is most important in life:  good values.  It is somewhat ironic that he presents this in a value-free fashion.  That is to say, he assumes that anyone with good values would not cheat.  Is this realistic?   Some people value getting into a good school over honesty.  So Dennis is not just advocating values, he is advocating a certain set of values -- that is, the Judeo-Christian values.  This is, after all, the value set which has done the most good for mankind.  I'm not sure if this was intentional to avoid setting off secular viewers, because Dennis is usually not afraid to bring God into his arguments.  But speaking of "values" without a context does not do much in the way of "life studies."
