I get a bit personal about what’s going on in my life since the last time we talked. I go over some great books that I’ve read and give some thoughts on them: Outliers by Malcom Gladwell, and Dream Hoarders by Richard V. Reeves.

Happy holidays. Today we talk about the investigations—the constant never ending investigations—that have happened, and are once again, on our horizon. I get cynical about compassion, institutions, and even bi-partisan legislation! What a shock! Matt Gaetz on C-Span2: https://mobile.twitter.com/repmattgaetz/status/1592286771517083648

I open up about my voting record and have to subsequently defend my diminishing centrist bona fides. Oh well, it’s ugly out there, I might as well be honest. You be the judge. I touch on conservative’s mistaken views on our fragile society. Plus, there’s a capper on Covid amnesty. Kyle’s take on Breaking Points 3:30:00 - https://youtu.be/kkXWGxzj2t4

Buckle up! I do little but scream about our broken democracy and voice all of my unhinged frustrations with our incumbents and their know-nothing adversaries.

Give a boring as biography about my political awareness, or lack there of, throughout various periods of my life; and how that got me to where I am today. Plus I touch on the ridiculous culture war of the day, and a few other interesting news tied bits.

Breaking news! Biden set relieve some Americans of their college debt…you probably already knew that. We never give the hottest takes here in the closet.

The title sort of says it all on this one. I mostly dwell on our fractured system and how it’s being betrayed by poor leadership, which fuels our tribalism. I talk a little about the Kansas abortion vote, and then finish with a few thoughts on Professor Peterson — hopefully the last time for some time!

I take the plunge again after a few months off. I went on a lovely vacation and had a major surgery that has kept me from the mic, so this felt like I had started all over again, and I’m sure you’ll be able to tell. My apologies, just know that I’m always trying to get better. Blue Dot: https://youtu.be/wupToqz1e2g Hawley vs. Professor Bridges: https://youtu.be/Fed5RzXyU20

I didn’t feel great about where I left the last episode…so I thought I’d expand on the subject to make myself more open to ridicule and hate. Awesome. I hope that my continued struggle with this—and every topic—does not translate to hate or bigotry, because that has never, and will never, take root in my heart. The goal is to bring us together. I’m sorry if my efforts are clumsy, but I believe in the goal, so please forgive me for trying.

I address the “Don’t say Gay” Bill. And debate with myself if the “Center” is Heterodox or Contrarian. Maybe neither? Teen depression graph: https://www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/archive/2022/04/american-teens-sadness-depression-anxiety/629524/
