Don't be the idiot who assumes that just because somebody hasn't said, spent money on, or published materials on your cause that that means they disagree with you. And even if they don't agree with you, that just gives you one more person to understand and maybe try to persuade. Here is the book I referenced. (Amazon link HERE) I haven't read or listened to it yet so cannot vouch for its awesomeness. It's called "How to Have Impossible Conversations: A Very Practical Guide Paperback – by Peter Boghossian and James Lindsay --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/400thoughts/message

The name of that movie I couldn't remember is called the Social Dilemma Here is a link to its Netflix Page Here Here is a link to the titles of phrases that are most popular on youtube. Here If you see these words, skip the video. It's might be high quality but it's still just a trap anyway.

I am aware that I pronounced the word 'progressing' wrong. Shit happens. I also understand that any libertarians listening to this podcast would be screaming "the market the market" when I described a machine that would determine the price of a thing. Yeah, I'm aware. Thought experiments yo. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/400thoughts/message

This felt like a rant more than an idea and that's probably what this was. Sunny the robot isn't here yet and until then, if you don't make the bread you don't get any bread (unless the gov is going to give everyone their full salary). --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/400thoughts/message

Fairly weird ramble. The question is, given your present state and a desired endstate, how much of 'X' will you need to get to said endstate? ON STERIODS! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/400thoughts/message

My random thoughts about this particular Presidential Election. Also, listeners get to hear me edge my leg rather loudly. Nothing but top-notch audio on this podcast! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/400thoughts/message

Not the most helpful podcast but I don't really think trying to change another person's parenting is overly helpful either. Cheers. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/400thoughts/message

You can accept or deny. In most things, it's hard to find what tolerance is. WHAT IS TOLERANCE! Is it larger than a toaster? Hear me nail pronouncing the word 'fascistically' but have a stroke in the middle of the word 'perpetuity' (good times).

The episode is fairly straight forward. How can we support people with very important jobs? I have a few ideas. I briefly talk about the 3 Ps People(persons), Property and Process (or Policy) You can look at the world with those 3 elements and get further than you think. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/400thoughts/message

So this whole virus sucks. But will this be something to look back at and remember as a major life event? Will this be what I call 'a rep'? Outro Music for this episode was provided by DJ Mancub

I ate a ton of processed cheese...

Food for thought. See what I did there?

...but it’s a fun conversation to have. Apparently I said that a lot in this episode. I won’t apologize. Neither would he.

Comment, don’t like. Be more human. Start a conversation.

I was in the Army one time.  Now I’m back in the Army.  This is a hell of a random episode that wasn’t really organized at all, well sort of found my footing again at the end but I’m a veteran. We ramble on for freedom!

Starting the new format of the episode with #19. Even # episodes will be edited while odd# episodes will be straight off the cuff, fire and forget. So how the mic didn’t crackle cuz I ain’t listening before publishing. Anyways..... this episode is about how I don’t really care about Intellectual property. If a thing can be created that I feel it’s not really created in most cases but merely discovered and so would shouldn’t prevent people from copying your ideas. Unless it’s stand up comedy, that shit is sacred!

It's fun to be able to really "get" something. In this episode, I ramble on about 3 ways you can view understanding any topic. 1) Once you get a taste of something new, you want more 2) Allows you to empathize with people that might not know or appreciate something as much as you 3) It gives you the opportunity to teach somebody about a topic that you have more understanding of

Can you do the right thing at the wrong time... oh yeah, that's very possible.

I failed. Next year I won’t. That’s the idea anyway.

Super not dead.

Total Ramble. Google your questions. I'm going back to bed. Doviđenja!

My answer: 1) Like me! 2)Hate them! 3) The mitochondria are the powerhouse of the cell 4) Inspirational/motivational Bonus category included! 5) Screaming into the void!!!!!!! I seeeee youuuuuu I seeeee youuuuuu! Enjoy. Bok!

Hello hello! Sorry not sorry for missing a week of podcasting. New baby means deadlines get pushed sometimes. And... my daughter is adorable! Notes: 375 million people in America... way off on that number. But whatever, I was just spit balling y'all. Google says we are closer to 327 million. Okay so where do we currently stand on countries recognized by the UN and their replacement rate: There are 196 countries recognized 100 countries EXACTLY are at replacement rate or higher 92 countries (including the US) are below replacement rate For my "Dooms Day" experiment we need: The 92 below replacement rate to maintain to lack of commitment to building a personal army 81 Additional countries would have to fall below replacement rate for 10 years to see if we are totally screwed or not =/ Check out this short documentary from Hans Rosling on Youtube titled DON'T PANIC — Hans Rosling showing the facts about population: Here Article about possible public school closures due to low birth rates: Here

Please follow the show on twitter: @400thoughts If you have any questions or recommendations you can email the show at: 400thoughts.thedriver@gmail.com Description: When somebody says, "Well, everyone knows..." call them on it. This episode is about asking questions of people that take same facts for granted without knowing how to explain the problem or solution. Enjoy! Clarification: Existential Threat- People often say climate change is an existential threat. I would clarify that claim to specify that only humans are being emphasized in those sorts of statements. There are plenty of animals and bacteria that will adapt and be fine. As far as the claim that we will all die out, I tend to lean on the side of optimism that we will overcome the rising temperature problem. Tesla Favoritism- I do not own a Telsa and cannot afford one. I meant to just focus on the private sector's ability to make quality solutions and products that can help with climate change instead of focusing on federal legislation. I'd rather buy a commercial product to save the environment than hope my taxes are spent on programs that are actually shown to be effective. Information regarding the death penalty can be found: Here The last federal executions were: Timothy McVeigh (2001) Juan Raul Garza (2001) Louis Jones (2003) The rather deceptive 20% death penalty tweet by a woman named Rebecca Nagle: Here Mueller's position during the investigation was Special Counsel. Want to know more about what that means? Figure it out on your own. You can do it. I believe in you. Order your very own copy of the Mueller Report to help level a table with a short leg: Here The U.N. Declared access to the internet back in 2011, nobody cared then or now.

Had some technical issues pertaining to my phone picking up weird feedback. On top of that I was lucky enough to get stuck in some pretty epic, though fairly common, Atlanta traffic! So today you get more or less two topics in one. Lucky you! If I sound a bit loopy, that's because my brain was trying to stay both awake and agile while Atlanta drivers moved forward slowly and diagonally at dangerous speeds. Anyways... here are the links to the items I mentioned in this episode. NowThis video of Mayor Pete and Andrew Yang and their respective favorite swear words: Here Kamala Harris got high, maybe video: Here Correction: It was Snoop Doggy Dog and Tupac, not Dr. Dre. Mea Culpa, Mea Culpa, Mea Maxima Culpa! Elizebeth Warren likes beer and so can you: Here Hillary Clinton totally failing at pouring beer so you know, def can't be prez brah: Here Here is the weirdo that removed people nipples and ears. They call him Dr. Evil. Fun fact, not a certified doctor. Shocker, I know!: Here The boxer that recently died: Here The Thai boxer that died fairly recently (November 2018): Here Christian Daghio survived by his wife and five-year-old daughter. Daghio had 189 professional fights, winning 145 of them.

This was just a ramble on how things are chaning for the better and kind of how exciting that is. The episode started by focusing on Elon Musk's Neuralink presentation but shifted around to a lot of various topics from there. This if the Neuralink video I watched: Here There is a pretty good book talking about future technologies written by Peter H. Diamandis: Here The "Ds" that I couldn't remember from Peter H Diamandis are: Digitized, Deceptive, Disruptive, Demonetized, Dematerialized and Democratized Here is a link to a fuller explanation of each D: Here The Freakonomics episode about Wizards and Prophets: Here The interview I referenced between Dave Rubin and Marianne Williamson: Here Steven Pinker's book regrading the overall trends of the world becoming generally better in every way: Here The times they are a changing, might as well enjoy the new gear and concepts.

Politicians over promise on many things, nothing new there. Recently, I've heard a few candidates for the presidency have said they plan on reducing the prison population by 50% or more. Fun fact that I looked up just for you: There are currently between 2-2.5 million people currently in federal and state prisons and jails. Is that number too high? What should the number be? 0? If these politicians free 1 million, who will they be? I tried to find hard numbers on violent vs. non-violent criminals and depending on the political views of the sources, results varied a ton. Main issue though for the podcast really concerned: 1) When somebody want to solve a problem, ask if it really is a problem to begin with 2) If it is a problem ask a follow up question like, "okay, how do you plan of tackling the issue with besides a willingness and motivation, like really?" 3) Skepticism doesn't make you a pessimist. If anything it might help you and the miracle worker actually solve the problem once a coherent plan is made. Here are the things I mentioned: Debate between Heather Mac Donald and Thaddeus Russell: HERE Planet Money podcast about Japans worker issues: HERE Totally misspoke as well. The Japan issue was a worker shortage. Just listen to the planet money thing. It's interesting.

How do you think of America? Best country ever or worst one ever? Today I muse over the different ways some people might think about America and maybe why that is. Here is the thing from New York Times I referenced: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6mjef8NsNfU I used a few swear words in this episode so be aware of that.

Can you pay for your freedom? Can you substitute service through taxes? Is it unfair or immoral to pay someone to go to war for us and fight the fights we rather not? If the soldiers don't show up, will the war ever? In this episode I muse over the draft and whether Americans should bring it back in order to prevent unwanted wars and require responsibilities for the rights we enjoy? I references the book by Justice: What's the Right thing to Do by Micheal Sandel. Check it out here. It was a good read. The Babylon Bee article I referenced can be read here
