This philosophical piece explores the irony of how readily we judge others' greed while overlooking our own, illustrating this with an anecdote about a man critical of a company's pricing practices. It attributes this to fundamental attribution bias, a cognitive bias where we explain others' actions through character flaws and our own through circumstance. The article further examines contributing psychological factors such as self-serving bias and cognitive dissonance, ultimately suggesting self-reflection and empathy as remedies for this pervasive human tendency. A biblical passage is cited to reinforce the concept of self-awareness preceding judgment. Finally, practical strategies are offered for mitigating this bias and fostering more balanced self-perception.

This podcast explores the murder of a UnitedHealthcare CEO, framing it as a symbolic act of rebellion against a corrupt healthcare system. It argues that the CEO's death, while violent, represents a culmination of systemic injustices and the prioritization of profit over human well-being. The author suggests that this event, though seemingly isolated, reflects a wider societal imbalance and impending collapse, highlighting the interconnectedness of violence, greed, and systemic failures within American institutions. The piece uses the Hopi word "Koyaanisqatsi," meaning "life out of balance," to encapsulate this societal crisis. Ultimately, it questions whether such acts of violence are inevitable until systemic change occurs.

Schrödinger's Weasel explores the battleground of language in modern discourse, where words like socialism, fascism, and woke carry polarised meanings that shift with each listener’s perspective. Join us as we unpack Schrödinger words—terms suspended in a state of ideological superposition, manipulated to divide and provoke. Dive into the quantum ambiguity of language, where meaning is no longer about clarity but about weaponised interpretation. From political dog whistles to social shibboleths, this podcast reveals how words have become tools of influence, alive and dead in meaning, depending on who speaks them.
