- EP054 - The power of youth & naivety
This is one of those ''if I could talk to my 20 year old self'' episodes, but this cuts to the very core of how NOT to end up constrained, burdened and without your freedoms. I would encourage anyone who is in their 20s or parents that have kids in their teenage years or 20s to take a listen. It isn't a hard listen - I'm not going to lecture anyone. I'm just going to explain to you how it is - how the world will be for you, and what you can do early on to protect yourself from your potential future.
55 min - EP053 - Bitclub Network - When a deal is too good to be true
In this week's episode, I'm going to talk about the Bitclub Network. This was one of the many scams that hit the Bitcoin community back in around 2015 and how it took what I believe to be a very good business model, a cooperation based system and ability to pool resources to mine and help keep the Bitcoin protocol safe, and turned that into a MLM scam, and now three of the four founders are in jail in New Jersey, and the fourth one was scooped up on an Interpol warrant in Indonesia.
1 hr 4 min - #253: Philosophising About Free Speech with Paul-Mikhail Catapang Podosky- This show features philosopher Paul-Mikhail Catapang Podosky on the free speech and cancel culture debate.- It covers the (in) famous A Letter on Justice and Open Debate published in Harpers Magazine and the lesser known A More Specific Letter on Justice and Open Debate.- We also cover some common misunderstandings of free speech (supporting free speech doesnt mean actively platforming the most harmful speech above all others), the way in which discrimination can be subtly embedded into language and the documentary 13th.- For more information on this episode and for links to all of the stories and clips from it, go to: https://progressivepodcastaustralia.com/2020/08/25/253/1 hr
- EP052 - The college experience
In this episode, I acknowledge that when I explain my position regarding kids going to college, 4 out of 5 people immediately disagree. I then explain that once I have given the full argument for my position, the number drops to 1 or 2 out of 5. Therefore I think the problem might be the messaging, so in this episode I go into detail about what I think students (and parents) should consider before making the assumption that their kid has to go to college, and all the peripheral issues associated.
