Episode Description:

In this episode of the Stop To Think podcast, we talk about oppression. In our society, oppressing anything at all, no matter how crazy, is viewed as bad. In actual practice, there are some behaviors that should be oppressed. There are things that can't be tolerated. This was once common sense but now it seems like it might not be. As usual, the optimal path seems to be a balancing act.

In this episode of Stop To Think, we discuss In Time and capitalism and socialism. I saw a post that said it was a critique of capitalism. Stopping to think about that, this episode is what follows. The key takeaway is that so long as humans are involved, all systems are going to have problems because people are flawed and have problems.

"Democracy is the worst form of government, except for all the others." - Winston S. Churchill.

"Capitalism is the worst form of economic arrangement, except for all the others." - Someone Smart

In this episode of Stop To Think, we talk about the problem of evil. In my journey through life, the problem of evil seems to be one of the biggest reasons people aren't on board with the idea of a good God. This episode discusses how I worked around the problem in my own life by adopting a framework that largely resolves the issue and seems to make sense.

In this episode of Stop To Think, we talk about second-order consequences. They're everywhere in life and most people don't think about them at all. Then they act all surprised when things go horribly wrong. Be the kind of person who thinks about the second-order consequences.

In this episode of Stop To Think, we talk about the path of humility. I've been thinking about it a lot lately because I'm always oscillating between a positive and negative self-image. The key takeaway seems to be to have an honest and accurate perspective of yourself. This solves the pride problem.

In this episode of Stop To Think, we discuss the football situation. Specifically how it causes a lot of injuries and may or may not be worth it for the athletes. We also talk about the sports-centricness of our society as a whole. The key takeaway is that once again, a proper balance is probably the way to go.

In this episode of Stop To Think, we talk about how important physical fitness is. I speak to my own fitness journey from being fat to being in shape to being out of shape and working to get back into shape. The episode concludes with the takeaway being that getting in shape is simple and the discipline side of things is where the hard work is.

Notes:

One source says the Air Force height and weight requirements are 77 in max and 231 lb max.

Another seems to say the requirements were removed.

In this episode of Stop To Think the discussion about God wraps up for now. The main focus of the discussion is about how without God acting as an objective reference point everything falls apart. In a subjective world, anything goes. It's not a world you want to live in.

Note: Audio Issues. To be deleted after a week.

In this episode of Stop To Think, the discussion about God's character continues. This episode focuses more on love than anything else as it seems to be the most important characteristic of God.
