What Have We Lost? with James Tunney

New Thinking AllowedOct 23, 2026

Barrister, author and artist James Tunney joins Jeffrey Mishlove to argue that while the West has advanced technologically, it has regressed spiritually by discarding the medieval Catholic worldview of soul, spirit and a participatory cosmos. He traces this loss through Marxism, the X Club's 'imperial' scientism, modern psychology, and the Protestant Reformation, which he says closed off belief in purgatory, prayer for the dead and spirit interaction. Tunney suggests that near-death experiences and a Gen Z return to religion may signal a post-secular rebalancing, even as AI developers try to create a new god.

Personhood with James Tunney (4K Reboot)

New Thinking AllowedSep 27, 2026

Irish barrister and author James Tunney joins Jeffrey Mishlove to argue that the very idea of human personhood is under deliberate attack from scientism, transhumanism, and corporate and technological power. He traces a philosophical lineage called personalism, running from Franz Brentano through Husserl, Edith Stein, and Martin Luther King, as a defense of human dignity against an expanding 'technosphere.' Tunney warns that the merging of minds into a networked superintelligence would destroy individual spiritual sovereignty, and he offers parapsychology and inner spiritual evolution, which he calls the 'animosphere,' as the counterbalance.
