The Wall Street Journal publishes what I'm sure they felt was a scathing critique of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the new progressive congresswoman from New York City.

The trouble is that their commentary is replete with factual errors and misunderstandings as to the exact nature of the Green New Deal, or American public opinion, or the feasibility of left-leaning proposals coming from the left.

But one thing is for sure... they cannot ignore the "True Left" as personified by Ocasio-Cortez, Bernie Sanders or Tulsi Gabbard, the Hawaii congresswoman who has just announced her bid for the presidency.

Join me as I allow the misguided corporatists to try, with limited success, to cast aspersions at the voice of reason, the true left, the only real conservatives, the ones who actually want to conserve our planet for future generations.

The Green New Deal is a blueprint for how to transition from the fossil fuel economy to an economy based on renewable energy, and how to do so in a way that is fair and just for all involved.

This episode spells out how it will work and why it's needed.

Creating a Whole New World, sounds idealistic (almost like it's from a Disney Movie :-)

But the only alternative to creating a new world is to settle for the toxic world that we continue to create every day. That toxic world is also driven by deep cynicism, whereby average people like you and me are expected to limit our expectations and be satisfied with what little we can get in a world that is organized around the needs and wants of multinational corporations and their controlling shareholders.

We can make the transition to renewable energy. We can do so in 10-12 years. And we must.

This episode tells how.

We start off with a follow up about the sighting of an interstellar object that doesn't have a clear explanation and we consider the thinking of the Harvard astronomer who has made waves by speculating it's an object sent from an intelligent, alien galaxy. Hmm..wonder what Carl Sagan, one of our fave critical thinkers, would say about the evidence at hand. This show also unpacks a recent white paper from the Reboot Foundation that offers up the data it gathered last year to sum up the "state of critical thinking today" --what do people believe about CT? what do they practice?

We discuss critical thinking in many different aspects during this hour-long conversation about a variety of topics. All of it comes back to our ability to think about our own thinking.

Or maybe it's understanding jokes through philosophy? You know two things we love are dissecting jokes and thinking about our own thinking, so buckle up and listen in as we get totally philosophical (esp. Brian) and we laugh and groan at this very nerdy joke book discuss critical thinking in many different aspects during this hour-long conversation about a variety of topics.

Happy New Year, critical thinkers! This week, we ring in the new year with a show about thinking about resolutions--what does the evidence tell us about setting resolutions (or not) and how we can make lasting change? How can we think through important goals and how to reach them? And one of our resolutions was to bring back jokes--don't miss that!
