Ostrolenk answers a question from @CoachKiki on conventional versus sacred medications. The current-day paradigm of using conventional medications, Ostrolenk argues, simply seeks to manage the symptoms of a chemical imbalance. A more beneficial model is a sacred medicines paradigm, which gives recognition to the fact that health and wellness are part of a larger system. Rather than an individualistic approach that works to alter personal chemistry, utilizing sacred medicines allows an individual to take a deep-dive in to the root causes of various troubles, and explore cures.

Ostrolenk talks to Constitutional Scholar Bruce Fein on the recent rising of the US security threat level, and why America should be using a criminal model, rather than a war model, to fight terrorism. While the criminal model is not flawless, and issues of state sovereignty must be acknowledged, it is far superior to the war model. The war model, in contrast, seeks to scorch the earth as a means of protection, yet Fein argues this ultimately breeds resentment and make us less safe.

Ostrolenk speaks on society’s transformation from an industrial to informational age, and how, consequently, this will impact the mediating institutions in our lives. First defining mediating institutions as those that act as intermediaries between our personal life and the services we desire (i.e. a school to get education, a doctor to get medicine), Ostrolenk then discusses how information will alter the status quo. He argues, in the coming years there will be more direct contact between individuals and their services, and mediating institutions will either alter or cease to exist.

Ostrolenk speaks with Constitutional Scholar Bruce Fein about the counter-revolution that is taking place within the GOP, one specifically against the United States Constitution.

Ostrolenk speaks to Constitutional Scholar Bruce Fein on the characteristics that should qualify an individual to become President of the United States. Contrary to popular opinion, Bruce argues it is imperative to elect a president who is a professional politician, meaning he or she has a long career of evaluating power, leadership, and politics. Without said skills and scholarship, the leader of American will not fully comprehend the responsibilities of the office.

Ostrolenk speaks with Constitutional Scholar Bruce Fein on the upcoming expiration of Section 215 of the Patriot Act, which allows the NSA to collect data from domestic and international phone calls without warrant or suspicion. Despite 9 years in use, the NSA has failed to tie any of the information gathered through 215 to acts of terrorism. Not only impractical, but a massive invasion of our privacy, 215’s authority, Bruce insists, should be allowed to lapse in June.
