  • #76 Doing the right thing

    In this episode we talked about doing the right thing. We explored the question: Why don't people do the right thing? Doing the right thing is often hard, and therefore, it's easier to do the wrong thing, even if such an action goes against our best interest. We also talked about stupid news, because it's 2021 and the world is filled with stupid news.

  • #74 Should wives take their husbands last name?

    t is good that our culture is always changing, but should everything change just because? This episodes explores the topic of wives taking their husbands' last name. Should wives do so? Should husbands take their wives' last name instead? While taking (or not taking) a last name may seem trivial to some, it speaks to the heart of our society and culture.

  • #71 Learn resilience

    This week I flew solo and I talked about teaching people to be resilient. We cannot modify the world to be "safe" for all people in all situations. It is better to teach people how to adapt to the world around them so they can be strong to face the world as it comes at them.

  • #70 Crazy news and the one about thinking fallacies

    In this episode we talked about crazy news articles. It always amazes us how insane the real world can be. We are thankful for that insanity because its always worth a good laugh. We need to laugh more as a society. We also talked about thinking fallacies. It is very easy for us to get stuck in thinking traps that allow us, and often guide us, to make illogical conclusions about topics. We talked about some of these traps in the hope that it makes people better thinkers.

    Last week I was in Seattle, a town I used to love. The town is now a disaster, and has really fallen into chaos since the last time I was there in 2019. In this episode we talked about Seattle and it's covid infatuation.

    We also talked about minimalism. A lot of people have asked me about minimalism so here we are. However, the conversation is made very interesting given Jason is a hoarder.

We also talked about the recent Biden Mandate for vaccines and what the likely outcome of such a mandate might be for the Biden administration.
