October 03, 2024Episode 0045: Debate v2
Show Notes
Host: Dan Hugo
Summary: Political Debates, you gotta love ´em. Or do you? Are political debates, and we know which ones in particular, worth the trouble, or should we as an electorate come up with something else? Should not those doing the hiring determine how we conduct the interviews?

September 26, 2024Episode 0044: Adopting Modernity
Show Notes
Host: Dan Hugo
Summary: We are surrounded by the most cutting edge technology ever conceived or even imagined by humans, with among other benefits more access to more information than most can fathom, yet we appear to be growing less and less connected, less and less aware, and certainly less and less secure in our daily travels and travails. What is going on?

September 19, 2024Episode 0043: Intellectual Curiosity
Show Notes
Host: Dan Hugo
Summary: Have you noticed that people seem to prefer to accept information presented to them at face value, assuming it is factual, correct, and safe, and then they share it with someone else to continue the cycle? We have more access to more information today than on any day previous, and that is almost certainly true every day… if you don´t believe me, check for yourself. Will you?

September 12, 2024Episode 0042: Fact vs Fiction
Show Notes
Host: Dan Hugo
Summary: It is indeed the season of fiction over fact, for at least the next two months or so, but in general this is a time when more people are connected to more data and information than ever, all the time, with almost no delay, yet we rely on others to tell us their version of some truth that fits their narrative. Can facts rule again, please?

September 05, 2024Episode 0041: History and Evolution Context
Show Notes
Host: Dan Hugo
Summary: Context matters, so does writing things down, reading over these things from time to time, and understanding that what happened before may be similar to what is happening now, but that they may be different is critical and not always factored in to our understanding.

August 29, 2024Episode 0040: Electile Dysfunction
Show Notes
Host: Dan Hugo
Summary: Politics is no fun but the mechanisms of the US election system and general determinations regarding districting ballot management and the construction of such things as the Senate and the Electoral college, all worthy of some discussion; so let´s plant some seeds today!

August 22, 2024Episode 0039: Infrastructure Debt
Show Notes
Host: Dan Hugo
Summary: This being an election year, the topic of Infrastructure comes up once again, more from the Dems than the GOP this time around, but it is always something to talk about, even pass laws about and assign funding to, but what is going on when it comes to making things happen?

August 15, 2024Episode 0038: Conspiracy Theories
Show Notes
Host: Dan Hugo
Summary: When there is a lack of transparency, a lack if information and clarity can lead very easily to exciting Conspiracy Theories. Some are eventually shown to be pretty close or even accurate, most are not.

Show Notes
Host: Dan Hugo
Summary: Intersections are tricky, with multiple interactions, multiple parties, multiple states and perspectives. Sometimes they are actual intersections you pass through in a vehicle or otherwise, sometimes they are a bit more complicated, yet somewhat similar…

August 01, 2024Episode 0036: Misplaced Trust
Show Notes
Host: Dan Hugo
Summary: Evolve in Tennessee, yet another bank compromised by evil so-called hackers, the penetration vector a phishing email opened and engaged-with by an unsuspecting employee, or so we are told. We bank there, among other places, but this is a solvable problem, sort of, that will never actually be solved. But Why?
