Conversation of Our Generation episodes

  • 19. Freedom and Ethical Behavior

    Quote of the week:

    "Waste no more time arguing about what a good man should be. Be one."
    -Marcus Aurelius

    This week we have seen what the media is calling an escalation of the civil unrest that has been brewing. But, is it really?

    We will discuss how to act ethically in terms of freedom and where the limitations are. What is one's duty to his fellow citizens? How should we go about disagreement? How far do rights extend?

  • 19. Freedom and Ethical Behavior
    In light of recent controversies, it seemed pertinent to discuss ethical behavior in a free society.
    In this podcast, I discuss where freedoms end, and how I think we should approach disagreement and tolerance.

  • 18. Binging On Jordan Peterson's Podcasts

    Quote of the Week:

    As a caterpillar, having come to the end of one blade of grass, draws itself together and reaches out for the next, so the Self, having come to the end of one life and dispelled all ignorance, gathers in his faculties and reaches out from the old body to a new.
    -The Brihadaranyaka Upanishad

    I have been a fan of Jordan Peterson's for a while and listen to him in guest spots whenever possible. However, I finally took the time to dive into his podcast and wanted to share my thoughts on his ideas and the impact they have.

    • The 20th century and how his analysis is not purely political
    • Ancient myths and the Bible
    • Order and Chaos
    • The synergy between philosophy, empiricism, and religion

    • 17. The Value Of The Individual
      Today is a special show

      Today, I will discuss the ideas behind the inherent value of the individual and lay out my beliefs on how the idea of the individual interacts with hot topics of today's world. I will dive deep into the topics, but attempt to stand above partisanship and try to work my way to the Truth.

      The news going on around us will inform these opinions somewhat and will provide context to why I'm talking about it. I hope to provide context without glorifying tragic events that have happened recently, but I will discuss the events honestly and openly.

    • 16. The Fracturing Of Capital And Decentralized Economies

      Today, I would like to build off of last weeks show about bureaucracy. I touched on how businesses, like governments, will have to shed bureaucracy and become more nimble. I spoke briefly about the Industrial Revolution and how it led to the condensation of capital to a select few, but I didn't speak enough about how it will begin to spread out among the population more as our world changes.

      This episode will look at a few examples of this happening and explain where I think it's going.

      1. Uber
      2. Air B&B
      3. Cryptocurrency

        4. This is a good one that you won't want to miss. Listen to the end for some inspiration.

      5. 15. Predicting The End Of Bureaucracy

        In this episode I take time to speak about Memorial Day and what it means. I think it is important to spend time reflecting on the sacrifices made to preserve our freedom. Also, I begin a new series and part of the Podcasts that will be a quote of the week, so I decided to discuss patriotism and what it should look like in America as I discuss a quote by Mark Twain.

        Finally, the meat of the episode comes as we discuss the nature of bureaucracies and the harm that they bring. However, I see your rocker C's that have stood for a while fracturing and I believe there is a common cause between big bureaucratic corporations and governments having problems with the digital age.

      6. 15. Predicting The End Of Bureaucracy
        Since the Industrial Revolution, both businesses and government have grown into behemoth bureaucracies. I see the digital age as a tool for changing that. Also, I begin my quote of the week series and we pay tribute to those who have sacrificed their lives for the freedom we enjoy every day.
