February 01, 2021Part 2: WallStreetBets, Gamestop, Reddit, and the 99% Versus Hedgefunds and the 1%
Send us Fan Mail
In Part 2 of 2, we will be discussing the current events of the stock market: Who are WallStreetBets, why did Gamestop go up so high and so quickly, why is Reddit users who are part of this wanting to HOLD and who they are up against.

Furthermore, the hedge funds have created a situation for themselves that has led to a $70 BILLION dollar loss.

I elaborate, simplify, and explain what is going on, why it's happening, and my personal thoughts on the matter.

In part 1 of 2, I will be discussing censorship and its problems, Section 230 and its powers, as well as the challenges of freedom of speech. How "hate speech" has been used as an excuse to ban groups like "WallStreetBets" from Discord and where do we draw the line from overreach and freedom.

February 01, 2021Part 1: Censorship, Section 230, and the Challenges of Freedom of Speech
Send us Fan Mail
In part 1 of 2, I will be discussing censorship and its problems, Section 230 and its powers, as well as the challenges of freedom of speech. We are in a very unique time in which the decisions we make not only as a society but as individuals will affect the future communications and beliefs of our children.
Breaking down freedom of speech does not protect ALL speech
Section 230 that protects big tech was created back in the 90s BEFORE major social media outlets
Censorship based on political beliefs in the name of "hate speech"

In part 2 of 2, I will be discussing how regulation of speech and economics take affect. The focus on part 2 of 2 will be on controversy of "WallStreetBets", Gamestop, Hedgefunds, and the impact they have in the WORLD!

January 10, 2021Capital Hill Riots Versus The 2020 Riots
Send us Fan Mail
On January 6, 2021, rioters went to Capital Hill and caused an uproar in the nation. Many politicians called for arrests, impeachments, and censorship. But what will this lead? What historical relevance can we look at that we can compare and contrast with?

In this episode I discuss the situation and analyze it through a critical thinker's lens (non-partisan) and try to understand what happened, why it happened, and what outcomes can come of this.

January 04, 2021The Privileged and Systemic Racism: What are they and its Connections
Send us Fan Mail
For most of 2020, I have deeply thought about the following questions: What does it mean to be privileged? What does racism mean today? What is Systemic Racism? How are they all connected? Some may think of the simple answers that you see in the media but I dive much deeper into these questions and not only answer them but give detailed explanation on how they are connected.

This New Year should be the year we learn to stand up instead of shut up! Hear my personal story of racism and how I dealt with it, how I SHOULD have dealt with it, and how you can learn from my personal mistakes.
