Podcast Analysis: Word Choices and (Lost?) Opportunities to Connect (LUA Podcast #35)

How can you build pathways of knowledge and understanding with others, rather than confrontations leading to tragedies? On this episode of Liberty Under Attack Radio, I am pleased to welcome back Darrell Becker from Voluntary Visions to attempt to answer that question. We play three clips from the School Sucks Podcast: Clip 1: Brett reads Tom Woods’ daily email explaining why talking to the left is useless School Sucks Podcast #461: Speed and Politics #1 Clip 2: Brian’s response to Tom Woods cursing him for the email School Sucks Podcast #486: Empa-Thon #4 Clip 3: Tom Woods responds to Brian Sovryn School Sucks Podcast #485: What We Saw and Learned at Yale, with Tom Woods What you will find in these clips is an example of what not to do, if you are trying to build said pathways of knowledge and understanding with others; “quick thinking” is utilized, there was seemingly little to no effort to find clarity, the word choices were questionable at best, and we can see potential tragedies arise–the example from the clips is obviously less serious, but more dangerous scenarios have (and will continue) to inevitably surface. Darrell and I analyze each clip individually and try to ascertain just what the hell happened and how “we” as individuals can turn these failed opportunities and tragedies into successful, meaningful, and productive human interactions.
