269: The Gluttony of Taste
Episode 143
Wednesday, 26 March, 2025
Talk Back to MeThe Screwtape Letters, by C.S. Lewis presents the interaction between demons and humans from the point of view of a senior devil in Hell's administration. The novel consists of a series of letters from one Screwtape to Wormwood, who has been assigned to an unnamed human for the purpose of winning the poor man over to the clutches of the wicked. In the 17th Chapter, our senior devil speaks on the subject of Gluttony, pointing out that he should focus not on excess, but on refinement or Delicacy. In this episode, we trace how this form of Gluttony can be found in the Gun Culture, where we so often define ourselves by what we have. For some it comes in prideful amassing of a great horde, for others, it's in knowing oh so well the current trend but viewing ourselves as thus better than it. For others, and perhaps most caricatured, are those who hide behind displayed "taste" to deceive others into thinking they are something they indeed, are not.
