PragerU Master’s Program with Dennis Prager

S01E04 Is Human Nature Basically Good?

In episode four of the PragerU Master’s Program, available only on DailyWire+, Dennis Prager gives a sobering answer to the question: is human nature inherently good? He argues that in our radically secular era, assuming we’re basically good lets us off the hook—removing any need for blame, a religious moral code, or even teaching people how to be good. Despite history’s horrors, from war and slavery to animal cruelty and everyday incivility, Dennis contends that this supposedly enlightened mindset has, ironically, caused more harm than good.
