The Truth Algorithm – Part XVI: Is the truth knowable? Is it even possible to know the truth given the situation and circumstances? Join Captain Smith as he ponders these questions and plays a clip by Jordan Peterson that provides insight.

The Truth Algorithm – Part XV: Join Captain Smith in his continuing discussion of the Truth Algorithm.

The Truth Algorithm – Part XIV: Using Expectation as an Aid. Captain Smith discusses how we can use expectation as a way to help us determine if a “truth claim” is in fact the truth. Projecting into the future is a good way to consider the nature of the assertion as it effects the overall … Continue reading "Throttle-Up® Episode: July 3 & 4, 2021"

The Truth Algorithm – Part XIII: With Jordan Peterson. Captain Smith continues his examination of the elements of the Truth Algorithm. He plays two clips from Motivation Madness: one with Jordan Peterson and the other titled “Excuses are Lies”.

The Truth Algorithm – Part XII: An Analytic Process. When we are presented with information that is claimed to be true, how do we respond? Do we 1) buy into it right away; 2) wait for more evidence; or 3) immediately begin an analysis to determine if in fact it is true? The Truth Algorithm … Continue reading "Throttle-Up® Episode: June 19 & 20, 2021"

The Truth Algorithm – Part XI: How to Defeat Propaganda. Join Captain Smith in a fascinating look at a recent news report that exposes propaganda disseminated by the main stream media. Can you identify media propaganda?

The Truth Algorithm – Part X: Intellectual Courage. We must be intellectually courageous in order to apply critical thinking and the Truth Algorithm to determining if something is in fact true. Captain Smith plays an interesting clip to back up his point.

The Truth Algorithm – Part IX: The Truth Algorithm Defined. In this episode, we begin to define the Truth Algorithm, because we can! We can because if reality is an objective fact, and truth is a key aspect of reality, then truth is an objective fact as well. And it can be measured. If truth … Continue reading "Throttle-Up® Episode: May 29 & 30, 2021"

The Truth Algorithm – Part VIII: A Key Component of Critical Thinking.

The Truth Algorithm – Part VII. Captain Smith continues his discussion of the Truth Algorithm this week with an emphasis on trusting your intuition.
