Truth Wanted 04.04 01-29-2021 with ObjectivelyDan and Joey Krieger


Listen Later

It’s that time of the week again truth seekers for another episode of Truth Wanted! This week, ObjectivelyDan is joined by Joey Krieger!

Our first caller of the evening is Laurie from OH who is calling to talk about the secular perspective of karma. While there isn’t evidence to support the claim that the supernatural is responsible for any acts of “karma,” there is evidence supporting that our actions have consequences. For example, if you generally treat people poorly, those same people may be less inclined to treat you well in the future.
Next is Carpe Diem from CO calls in to finally give ObjectivelyDan what he has been wanting, a conversation about QAnon. The caller draws a parallels between the way people within the cult of Q and devout theists draw conclusions about reality, and is wondering how we can effectively push back against those beliefs to minimize the dangers they pose on society.
Isaiah from HI calls in to talk about the events that possibly led to the creation of the prominent myths found in various religious texts around the world. How can we accurately determine which event influenced which story, or if a myth formed separately?
Our last caller of the show is Mark from NC. He states that while we have the right to free speech, you do not necessarily have the right to be heard. One of the main issues with that statement is that those who have the power to enforce that right shifts over time. For example, when segregation was legal, a sign could be placed that discriminated against an entire group of people and those with power wouldn’t step in. Today a sign like that would be removed almost immediately in most places and those who made it would face legal ramifications.

Unfortunately that’s all we’ve got for this episode, but rest assured, we’ll be right back here again next week! Until next time, stay safe out there everyone!
