This week I dive into the relatively new concept of unconscious bias and what can actually be drawn from it. I question the conclusions many groups and organizations draw from testing someone's unconscious bias and talk about why we should be careful to basically label everyone racist to some degree. I take an unconscious bias quiz and give my thoughts. Go take the quizzes and check out the videos for yourself. I'll provide a link below. Let me know your thoughts on this subject! I want this to be a conversation!

In this episode I take a deep dive into the NBA Playoff scenarios and all the possible seeding outcomes depending on how the last games of the season go. I give my insight into who can make a run at the title and who I want to make a run. I also give my insight on the insignificance of a recent survey result that was released regarding the most underrated and overrated players in the NBA. Finally, we cover a fun little story of some mild BEEF between Richard Jefferson and KD.

Let's have a conversation, I'd love to know your thoughts on any/all of these topics.

This week I give my insight to the greatest plunder of music festival (if you can call it that) in recent history - Fyre Festival.

I look at the man who spear headed it all and analyze the situation.

Go check out the documentaries on netflix and hulu. Let me know your thoughts @ramblingviking

Today I tackle a personal issue: the misuse of a scaled rating/review system, primarily seen in customer service. I had an experience that we are all familiar with, "Give us a review, anything less than a 10/10 or 5/5 is failing for our standard..." I dive into why this is the wrong measuring stick for that style of review system and how we could fix this. If you want to weigh in on the conversation hit me up on twitter @theramblingviking

Today I tell a funny anecdote about my late grandfather but then tackle the big question, brought to the light in Utah involving an exchange between Westbrook and a fan, of the responsibility that players and fans have to each other in regards to heckling and sportsmanship. Where is the line? Are they held equally responsible to conduct themselves in a professional respectful manner. 

In this episode I give a summary with my opinion on the Jack Dorsey interview and some interesting points that were made regarding the recent banning of people on twitter and how the platform is evolving.

I challenge the idea that because one group isn't represented as much in a certain field or scenario then that means there is some evil or prejudice inherent to that area. 

In this episode I take on the popular idea that everyone needs to go to college and debate the idea that it needs to be done a certain way. I'll unpack the problems of the "traditional route" and discuss alternative options. Feedback is appreciated. Twitter:@theramblingviking
