The first Presidential debate between President Trump and Joe Biden (who was Vice President under Obama), is over. It was a fiery and heated debate. Both parties were clearly frustrated and took that anger out on each other. The moderator, Chris Wallace of Fox News, did not do a great job at keeping the candidates in line.

We are closing in on the General Election, which can only mean one thing..stories will be leaked in an effort to impact the election. The left of course want to sway the election in an effort to unseat Trump. Bob Woodward did just that by releasing old quotes that indicate that Trump was aware of the dangers posed by Covid-19 but choose to 'lie' about the danger faced to the American public.

We also discuss Portland's ban on facial recognition software. What's the positive here? What's the negative?

Finally, we consider the latest general election polls.

Note: From 11:22 to 11:37 a bit of dead air.

We had the pleasure of speaking to Clinical Psychologist, Dr Shawn T. Smith. Dr Smith primarily specializes in managing risk in dating and marriage. He also has an interest in and works with clients who struggle with anxiety disorders.

We discuss many topics.

First, we start by discussing the foundations of Modern Psychology (ie the methods used to derive knowledge), and how they might be implicated in some of the anti-masculine rhetoric we see from the APA. For example, are self-reports a reliable data-gathering method or does it make a Clinician more likely to confirm their own biases/ideology?

We also consider what might be the source of the anti-masculine rhetoric coming from the American Psychological Association (APA) .

Finally, we spend time discussing the concept of hypergamy. When is it a useful concept and when is it used beyond its limitations to explain/predict phenomena that does not square with reality?

President Trump directed officials to identify 'anarchist' cities so he can move to withhold funds from those jurisdictions. While this is unlikely to be successful based on some expert opinions...it is pretty clear that Trump and his team know this as well. He is nevertheless making the threat as a way to keep focus on issues that he knows he's winning on with the average voter.

In the second story, we discuss how the Trump team are concerned about the integrity of the vote so they have started to form a team to make sure they are prepared for whatever happens on election day. And while it is true that both parties are concerned about the potential of errors/corruption on the day of the vote..their concerns are quite different and quite telling.
