In this episode I weave together many disperate topics including recent political events, personal experience, and an analysis about how faith inthe education to career pipeline encourages childish behaviour.

This is an examination about how the brain is an organ seperate from morality. This consideration places some of the attacks against transdgender medical treatment in the exact same category as attacks against the treatment of mental disorders such as anxiety and bipolar disorder. I talk from my experience of treatment of mental disorders, and some of my research and lived experience of being transfeminine.

Learning in the age of a changing world is sometimes confusing. My assessment in this episode is that our education system and our reliance on institutions to solve problems has made it even harder. Linked to how the economy is churning and employment is changing, I try to explain why American society can benefit more from learning from one another more than any other step we can take.

This is an episode with a very impactful topic: how outdated accounting disables innovation. This understated subject covers how bank lending works, and why banks see a complex operational business through a very disfunctional lense.

Gender issues are something I wanted to talk about for a while, turns out coming out as trans femenine created the perfect oportunity to talk about it. This episode talks about gender. My dangerous descision to define men and women seperately. And the idea that consistency is in short supply which has fueled the crotchety sides of conservatism in todays America.

As I reflect on the decades of work history I have, I'm somewhat interested in how little I expected from employers and how much that has cost me.

Two concepts that are blowing my mind, money is less important that justice or democracy, and maybe we don't have to change capitalism at all, just put it in it's place! And the best things in human achievement are areas of work that extend what other people have worked on. Notably these accomplishments don't have leaders and don't value visionary leadership.

Down right unamerican to downgrade money and leadership, but hey it is actually more realistic to look at what has real meaning in life and what has been accomplishment by groups of humans instead of individual humans.

Are data-centers grow-house bunkers? Does greed run the economy? These are both questions I believe I have debunked and while the comfort of their falsity is nice the concerns is raises are also unsettling.

Join me for another not-so-peppy pep talk, where I'm both inspired and profoundly saddened, but still inspired.
