I'll Have to Think About That episodes

  • Make Sure Someone Turns Out The Lights...

    I believe that this will be my final episode of this podcast, after a year of working on it and this, the 71st episode. It's been a great learning experience, at times stimulating, interesting, fun, and also at times tedious and frustrating. I'm glad I've done it, and while I think it makes sense to close it down, this won't be my last program...I've got other ideas.

    In the meantime, make sure to download any earlier episodes, since this will likely disappear at the end of June 2021.

  • UFOs, ET, and God

    How would proof of alien life impact the world's religions? I survey the possibilities, in light of the emergence of late in the mainstream media of serious stories about recent alien contact, or the chance of it.

    Suggested Readings:

    • The Conventional Wisdom on UFOs is Shifting
  • Would the discovery of alien life disprove the Bible?
  • How Would Religions React?
  • Aliens and Islam
  • The Quran and ET
  • Catholic News Agency - Do Aliens Exist?
  • Belief in Alien Life Varies Widely By Religion
  • The Flying Machines of Ancient India
    • 30 min
  • Critical Race Theory: History, Implications, Goals

    I've heard a lot about CRT in the news lately and, like most things in our hyper-partisan times, it's become a political hot button that lots of people talk about, but it seems few know much about. I hope this episode will help to fill in some background and give you something to think about.

    Suggested Readings:

    • Op-Ed on CRT
  • The Marxist Roots of BLM's Founders and Founding Ideas (including CRT)
  • Falsifiability in Research and Theory
  • Analysis of CRT
  • MLK's "I Have a Dream" Speech

  • Metal Makes You Smarter: Aces High and the Battle of Britain

    Iron Maiden writes a lot of songs about history and war, and Aces High, about the Battle of Britain during WW2, is one of their classics.

    • Aces High Lyrics
  • Aces High Video
  • "Spitfire" documentary on Amazon
  • A Higher Call - great book about the air war from a German perspective
  • "We Shall Fight on the Beaches," Winston Churchill, 4 June 1940
  • "The Few," Winston Churchill, 20 August 1940
  • The Battle of Britain: Five Months That Changed the World - another good book
    • 25 min
  • Court Packing Then and Now

    Court packing's a thing again, is it? Listen as I discuss the Constitution, acts of Congress, and FDR's attempt to pack the court in 1937 provide a lens through which we can consider current Democrat efforts to expand the court (by four justices).
