  • Episode 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?

      • Episode 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?

            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.

                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!

                    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?

                        • 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.

                            • 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…

                                  • 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?
