Is it fair to women when they have to compete against transgender athletes? Have we improved our institutional rules to be fair to all homosexuals? Do we really have to agree with the new realities, or can we simply be satisfied with allowing consenting adults’ behavior?

We used to think that greed and male-male competition explained how almost every civilization turned to big government and unnecessary war. But these incentives just did not explain the resulting hatred and intensity. It turns out that Freud and Jung explained an additional powerful weakness in humans that snowballs from the personal to the group, race, country, and political levels.

This continues a discussion from our last episode, and we include a dialogue from Dave Smith as a reminder of how these problems never seem to go away!

We review the origin of the Trump derangement syndrome and the Elon Musk derangement syndrome. Both have to do with the psychological mechanism of projection. A common tactic to avoid understanding one's inner motivations and in particular one's self interest cheating, projection, when gone off the rails can result in violence and war. We review a clip from Academy of Ideas to better understand this important phenomenon.

Jack Spirko passionately identifies 15 things that are the enemies of the people, and this ends up being a great reveal for our generation! He goes from the military industrial complex, to the medical complex, to education. Of course, the government is intimately involved in almost every one of these enemies!

The question becomes, do we really think we can elect politicians who will fix any of these things? Or should we just learn how to cope?

Julie reviews Edgar Schein's thoughts on group growth and proposes a comparison to the left, the right, and the composite. Groups can be compared and contrasted to individuals in terms of their maturity, their ability to deal with reality, and their ability to solve problems and take in new information. We discuss the left and the right political groups in their current form.

Apparently, tariffs are a bad idea for all countries involved, because they raise the prices for all consumers. But maybe there is more to consider, like the politics between countries. At least the talk about tariffs makes a pretty good threat.

We piggyback on Victor Davis Hanson's characterization of the current change being a counter revolutionary move after the country was taken over by the left political ideology. Julie compares this to organizational theory of how groups move from their original work and original mission to become self interested living systems. As a living system, the group can defend itself and be unconscious of how it cheats. We are seeing examples of this defensiveness now as the counter revolution continues.
