  • Ep. 69: The Texas Climate Change Massacre
    Feb 17 2021
    Texas and California are each the champion of their respective half of the country, and in the last 365 days, BOTH have suffered power-grid breakdowns; California from intense heat, Texas from intense cold. Furthermore, pundits on both sides have managed to blame both climate change and our attempts to fight climate change for the problems. But what's really going on? Support this podcast

  • Ep. 68: WTF is a "Culture War"?
    Feb 16 2021
    Much like the regular free market, the marketplace of ideas has been regulated almost out of existence, to the point that there has arisen a veritable cartel of ideas, controlling through means albeit direct but nonetheless powerful what can and cannot be talked about in polite society. So let's be good intellectual rebels and steal some of their ideas for our own purposes--why not? Support this podcast

  • Ep. 67: Guns, Germs, & Gold
    Feb 15 2021
    Joe Biden's been after guns for a long time--so it's unsurprising that he's called on Congress to legislate, legislate, legislate. But Americans are buying guns at record levels, and support for gun control is at a low ebb. Meanwhile, Vladimir Putin manhandles technocrat soy-boys at the World Economic Forum over their Great Reset pipe dream; predictions of a post-dollar, post-American century seem to back up his assertions.

  • Ep. 66: Meme War Millennium
    Feb 12 2021
    Maybe things have always been this way--but it sure doesn't seem like it. Indeed, it seems like sometime in the last few years, the great debate of our time became the debate over free speech: not the First Amendment, but rather "what it's okay to say." The Internet and its attendant cultural shift have ushered in a new era of unprecedented questions around speech, the media, and who gets "canceled." Support this podcast

  • Ep. 65: Blockchain International - Digital Democracy
    Feb 11 2021
    With continuing reports of censorship, spying, and other intrusions onto individual freedoms by the powers that be, perhaps it's time we sat down and had a chat about the blockchain--the exciting but definitely hyped technology behind cryptocurrencies that is poised to change the world--especially as the U.S. dollar weakens unto collapse.

  • Ep. 64: "Deep State" Impeachment
    Feb 10 2021
    Do you ever get the feeling that there is some force behind events, guiding and shaping history as it unfolds? Well, for some, this is the "deep state," a mysterious, shadowy entity of power brokers and embedded bureaucrats who, whether intentionally or not, determine the contours of world-impacting events.

  • Ep. 63: Tenuous Equilibrium
    Feb 9 2021
    Biden leads the charge back to what he thinks of as "the center"; meanwhile, the signs are everywhere that the so-called peace and quiet of the new administration bespeaks not peace, but a tenuous equilibrium. There is tremendous potential kinetic energy in each side; how long can "the center" really hold? Support this podcast

  • Ep. 62: OMG It's [Insert 1984 Reference]
    Feb 8 2021
    The government controls everything, including your mind, and there's no way out and we're all doomed and your smartphone works for the CIA and.....okay, maybe it's not all that bad. But there's certainly some oppression in the air, and it's not just coming from government. Support this podcast
