Episodes

  1. 060 - Shane Gillis, Tucker Carlson, and The Story (7/20/24)

    In this series we have been talking about the way in which a liberally educated person in the modern West, will automatically, because of their secular education, view certain beliefs as scientific, and others as non-scientific, certain others as biased, while others are seen as neutral. Because…

  2. 059 - Mind the Gap Pt 9 -- No Such Thing as Artificial Intelligence

    This was actually recorded before a couple of the most recent podcasts, at a point when I was considering doing uniquely YouTube videos too, of which this was to be one. But given the subject matter it makes sense to include it in this series on the Mind, and the GAP that exists between what we...

  3. 058 - Mind the Gap Pt 8 -- How to Divide and Conquer Christians

    I've been telling you that the whole effort is to change society's conception of itself, by changing the human person's conception of himself. They're not even trying to hide it anymore.

  4. 056 - Mind the Gap Pt 6 --Charles Darwin Falls Down the Stairs

    This is the second part of our "deep dive" regarding the impossibility of the mind being the brain. In the first part we saw that the supposed "mind/body problem" that "The Story" suggests was the reason for intellectuals leaving behind the religious picture of the world -- a world composed of…

  5. 055 - Mind the Gap Pt 5 -- The Deep Dive pt A

    A True Story about the Falsity of "The Story".

  6. 051 - Mind the Gap Pt 1 -- The 31 Flavors of Political Polarization

    This is a first installment of a series called "Mind the Gap", in which we'll be looking more at the way the media's own ignorance of intellectual history and the current state of debate in the philosophy of science and mind gets leveraged to manipulate you. In this series we'll be looking...

  7. 050 - All Is One - part 2

    050 - All Is One - part 2

  8. 049 - All Is One - part 1

    049 - All Is One - part 1

  9. 048 - The Miseducation of Lebron James

    Lebron is in the news again, having won an 'award' for his 'work' against 'voter suppression'. For those aware of what happened last year, it is pretty clear that this is an effort to clean up a mess he had sorta made last fall, in comments he had made related to Daryl Morey's debacle with China....

  10. 047 - Everybody Wear the Mask

    Everything yous see in the news right now about increasing COVID cases is meant to DISTRACT you from the fact that the CDC has now admitted that Trump was basically right over THREE MONTHS ago when he compared Coronavirus to the common flu. The science doesn't lie, because the numbers don't lie....

  11. 046 - Beast Mode: Coronavirus and the Chronicles of Narnia

    The Great Awakening Of Ravi Zacharias, Dan Bongino, C.S. Lewis, and Steven Pinker. You'll see, just listen.

  12. 045 - That My Pillow Guy

    3am in the mourning.

  13. 044 - Michael Jordan the Republican Patriarch

    Self-made men do not easily acquiesce to demands that they acquiesce to philosophies that denigrate self-made men. Why is this so difficult to understand?

  14. 043 - The Science Writer and the Samurai

    The Combat Art of Explaining Away

  15. 042 - The Science Writer Setup

    You Can Be Re-Educated

  16. 040 - Pandemics and Parenting

    When a notion that recurs to you all throughout the reading of an article is vindicated by a surprise at the end.

  17. 038 - Pandemics and Posturing Pundits Pt 2

    On March 14th, in podcast #36, we suggested that something was very odd about the way Tucker Carlson, and the vast majority of the news media, was discussing the Coronavirus mortality/fatality rate. Nearly two weeks later, two Standford scientists published an editorial in the Wall Street Journal...

  18. 037 - Husbands Dunk on Your Wives According to Knowledge

    No one watches women's basketball. T-Mac has a solution. And honestly... it's damn good. But I'm still never watching women's basketball.

  19. 036 - Pandemics and Posturing Pundits

    Have you noticed that we're being told two different things about the danger of Coronavirus? First, we're being told that the mortality rate is a sky-high 3, 4, maybe%. Then we're being told that it is likely that the virus is much more widespread than we've thought. But wait, if it's much more...

  20. 035 - Unmasking ANTIFA Pt 15 - The Unmasking

    Finally, the mask is removed. Don't act surprised. And no, it's not Kanye West.

  21. 031 - Unmasking ANTIFA Pt11 - Tenure Track Jacks - Pt A

    Now that we have expanded on Jack's story, and its philosophical implications, we are in a position to see how 'theory' of Radicalism really just boils down to the 'psychology' of Radicalism. The two sides of the coin converge. They are one and the same. This is really, really important. Don't…

  22. 030 - Unmasking ANTIFA Pt10 - Jack is Back

    We began this series by looking briefly at a young guy named Jack, and the transformation in his thinking about life, values, and the nature of reality; a transformation that began with a significant incident in his life... his father leaving him.

  23. 027 - Unmasking ANTIFA Pt7 - Oppressive Logic and ANTIFA's Civil War

    We are now in a position to see clearly what it is that Marxism adds to Communism. And once see it, we will begin to see EXACTLY why ANTIFA is proclaiming Civil War in the U.S.

  24. 026 - Unmasking ANTIFA Pt6 - 1985

    Show Summary: Hillary Clinton's bizarre yet strangely illustrative (for our purposes) misread of Orwell's 1984.

  25. 025 - Unmasking ANTIFA Pt6 - Damn the Facts

    To understand Marx, you simply have to understand Hegel. And to understand Hegel, all you need to do is listen to parts 1 thru 4 of this series! Woot! And once you understand Hegel, you'll understand Global Warming "Theory". Kind of. No seriously.

  26. 024 - Unmasking ANTIFA Pt4 - Crazy like a MARX

    What happens when advocates of 'Science' admit to that, contrary to the popularly perpetuated perception, they are actually advancing pure dogma, rather than scientifically acquired knowledge?

  27. 023 - Unmasking ANTIFA Pt3 - Run Bob Run

    Once we see how ideology masquerades as Science in the fictional example, we can then see how it does so in very real cases (like some we touched on in our very first series, "From Darwin to Donald Trump"!).

  28. 022 - Michael Jordan is from Norway -- Unmasking ANTIFA pt 2

    In order to understand what is behind ANTIFA we must understand what Radicalism is, from a theoretical standpoint. To do that, we have to analyze some language. No, trust me... this will be fun.

  29. 021 - You Don't Know Jack -- Unmasking ANTIFA pt 1

    What is ANTIFA? And what is the underlying philosophy behind the movement? Moreover, how does a person come to accept the ideas behind this group and others like it? We're going to touch on the latter, psychological point first,

  30. 020 - Of Death Panels and Calculators -- Charlie Guard and Medical Ethics pt 10

    Show summary: This is the revelation/payoff that I have been hinting at thru the past few episodes. Don't miss it!

  31. 019 - When Academic Theories Kill -- Charlie Guard and Medical Ethics pt 9

    Show Summary: David Hume showed us that there is an infinite logical gap between the kinds of statements that scientific observation can justify (indicative statements) and the kind of statements that morality requires (normative statements).

  32. 017 - French Impression and a Deadly Theory of Knowledge pt B -- Charlie Guard and Medical Ethics pt 7

    Show Content: What does French Impressionism* have to do with Charlie Gard? Yes, you read that right.

  33. 012 - There's Levels to This - Charlie Gard and Medical Ethics pt 2

    Show summary: We are constantly told, by the Media, Leftist politicians, and all those who follow them, that "Healthcare is a right." Moreover, we are told that this is the justification for increasing government involvement in Healthcare/insurance.

  34. 011 - Dying with Dignity - Charlie Guard and Medical Ethics pt 1

    This is the first episode of the Charlie Guard series. Charlie Guard is the infant, in England, who is being prevented -- by the British government -- from being either taken to America for experimental treatment, OR EVEN being taken home by his parents to die there, with them, in a hospice-like...
