- Does Liberty Mean The Freedom To Infect Other People? A Critique Of Paul Krugman’s Argument For Federal Government Covid-19 Mandates
Ep #8 - Does Liberty Mean The Freedom To Infect Other People? A Critique Of Paul Krugman’s Argument For Federal Government Covid-19 Mandates
In this episode I critique Paul Krugman’s hypocrisy, and inconsistency, with regard to demanding government mandates.
Krugman argues that:
“many things should be matters of individual choice. The government has no business dictating your cultural tastes, your faith or what you decide to do with other consenting adults.”
But Krugman has spent his who career advocating for the government to make it their business what you do with other consenting adults.
He also suggests that any time we do anything that could potentially put any one else at risk the government should get involved. But that’s just absurd. Think of all of the things we do every day that have some risk involved for others. Driving cars, playing sports, etc.

33 min - A Critical Analysis of Trump’s QAnon Question and Answer
A Critical Analysis of Trump’s QAnon Question and Answer
In today’s episode I provide a critical analysis of Trump’s Answer to Guthrie’s question regarding QAnon and Trump’s willingness to disavow, and/or condemn QAnon.

What is QAnon? A Couple of Key Points
- QAnon is not a conspiracy theory, it’s a group of followers of Q who is allegedly a White House insider leaking classified information online. So QAnon is not a conspiracy theory, but rather a group of people who believe a conspiracy theory.
- QAnon does not claim that DEMOCRATS run a satanic child sex-trafficking ring. They claim that:
- Both some democrats, republicans, celebrities, and wealthy elites are involved in a child trafficking. Some of it is satanic, but not all of it.
- Trump knows about this, and plans mass arrests and indictments of people within this group.
Trump Does Side-Step This Issue To A Certain Degree, But Why and Is He Justified In Doing So?
- Trump knows that Q has million of followers and the doesn’t want to lose those votes.
- Trump is against pedophilia - at least publicly - and so he wanted to point out that QAnon is at least correct in that respect.
- I think Tump likes the idea of being seen as a savior, and won’t often disavow people who treat him that way. Although he did disavow people like David Duke who endorsed him for president.
Trump was right to discuss the nuance of the issue, and Savannah Guthrie was intellectually dishonest in both her summary of QAnon and her request that Trump disavow the entirety of QAnon’s opinions.

1 hr 15 min - Redefining "Court-Packing" & The Logical Fallacy of Equivocation in Political Discourse & Commentary on the Destruction of California
The logical fallacy of Equivocation is one of those fallacies that is often easy to spot, but in some cases flies completely under the radar. Equivocation is often pivotal to propaganda and political manipulation
The recent attempt by Democrats to use the term court-packing to refer to the imminent approval of Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court is an example of equivocation. And, frankly, a very poor attempt on their part. They followed it up by attempting to redefine the term as “depoliticization.” An equally egregious attempt to manipulate the public.
I also discussed the state of California, as well as few other short clips including a segment by Kyle Kulinski on an argument for universal single payer healthcare.

1 hr 10 min - New Associated Press Stylebook Discourages Use of ‘Riot,’ Expands Definition of ‘Protest’ to Include ‘Violence’ - An example of the news media's use of the logical fallacy of equivocation.
In today’s episode I discuss how updates to the Associated Press stylebook discourage use of the word ‘riot,’ and how they've expanded the definition of the word ‘protest’ to include ‘violence’." I discuss how this equivocation (an often used logical fallacy) is common in propaganda. In my opinion this is a perfect example of how words are being redefined for propagandistic purposes. I also discuss, for a moment, some of the flaws in both the Left and the Right's take on Black Lives Matter, and Antifa, protests. And at the end I spend a few minutes discussing an example of the varied use of the words "claim" and "said" in news media reporting in order to suggest clear implications to readers and listeners.
30 min - Dexamethasone, Trump's "Mussolini Moment," Michelle Obama on allegations of racism, Post-covid vs Pre-covid economy, Jill Biden's "handling" of Joe Biden, Are the news media all leftists, and more
Zero Politics focuses on critical thinking in politics. Adam critiques the logic of arguments from both sides of the political paradigm. Zero bias, zero partisanship, zero irrationality. On today's show I discuss the logical fallacies present in coverage of Dexamethasone. I ask whether it's logical, and fair, to call Trump's photo-op outside the white house Trump's "Mussolini Moment?" I discuss Michelle Obama's comments on racism and the stoking of fears of black people moving to the suburbs. Does it make sense to compare Trump's Post-covid economy to previous president's economies? Was the right's coverage of Jill Biden's "handling" of Joe Biden logical and fair? Why has the "news media" become synonymous with the left when so many right-wing news media outlets exist?
