Summary

Entrepreneur, podcaster, free thinker and BFF Jeff Till joins me to expand on a Facebook post about “doublespeak” or “doublethink” where a policy idea is mistaken for (or purposefully replaced by) a more genuine objective or desire. Here we talk myths about school, the law, the military, welfare, and regulation. Enjoy! The post the episode is based on: Just about every argument for school is actually an argument for the value of education that proves nothing about the value of school. Just about every argument for law is actually an argument for the value of order that proves nothing about the value of law. Just about every argument for welfare is actually an argument for the value of compassion that proves nothing about the value of welfare. Just about every argument for the military is actually an argument for the value of security that proves nothing about the value of the military. Just about every argument for regulation is actually an argument for the value of safety that proves nothing about the value of regulation. Doublespeak is alive and well. Those who succeed in making the name of their pet policy linguistically interchangeable with a basic universal value always get to play offense.
