Joseph Robinette Biden Jr. is an American politician who is the 46th and current president of the United States. A member of the Democratic Party, he served as the 47th vice president from 2009 to 2017 under Barack Obama and represented Delaware in the United States Senate from 1973 to 2009.
Group affiliation defines and controls us. A free society balances group dynamics with individual quirkiness. Let's explore.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8cV9QZC5j0shttps://smile.amazon.com/Littledon-J-T-OConnell/dp/1512274461/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=littledon&qid=1605748597&sr=8-1
ying the previous episode into a broader understanding of human nature and historical trend. After an announcement, we run through the current difficulties facing Western Civilization and then dive into the deep past with a quote that shows just how ancient Marx's complaints are.https://smile.amazon.com/Littledon-J-T-OConnell/dp/1512274461/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=littledon&qid=1605748597&sr=8-1
We take a break from 1800s America to look at Karl Marx, not as a theorist of political economy, but as a man. Many people are aware of Marxism the doctrine, but how many people know that Marx himself was financially illiterate? Did you know that Marx exploited essentially everyone in his life including his wife, his maid, his mother, his best friend? Marx was a real piece of work. Shouldn't that bear on his theory of history? Let's explore.https://smile.amazon.com/Littledon-J-T-OConnell/dp/1512274461/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=littledon&qid=1605748597&sr=8-1
Drawing on previous episodes, we explore the nature of free speech in a democratic society as a function of moral persuasion. How can moral persuasion happen apart from encountering new ideas? And who speaks new ideas but people out of step with the rest of society? Being out of step isn't a guarantee of quality but the value of free speech to this effort cannot be understated. Let's explore.https://smile.amazon.com/Littledon-J-T-OConnell/dp/1512274461/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=littledon&qid=1605748597&sr=8-1
2020's riots and lawlessness wasn't without historical precedent. A little perspective can induce sobriety (just not in the host of the show). We've all heard comparisons of the woke riots with the 70s. Our history is full of examples. On this show we go back to the 1830s and look at two riots where the mobs got away with outright murder, supported by the local officials who were sworn to uphold the law.https://smile.amazon.com/Littledon-J-T-OConnell/dp/1512274461/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=littledon&qid=1605748597&sr=8-1
We explore the nature of the allergic reaction embroiling our nation, and discuss what we can do as individuals to decrease the inflammation.https://smile.amazon.com/Littledon-J-T-OConnell/dp/1512274461/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=littledon&qid=1605748597&sr=8-1
Getting back into the swing! Polarization is causing an allergic reaction, driving people to the extremes. But there's plenty of room in the center. We take a look at how the radical left is setting the agenda for the Biden administration, while a more careful right could help moderate that agenda with the President.https://smile.amazon.com/Littledon-J-T-OConnell/dp/1512274461/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=littledon&qid=1605748597&sr=8-1
After a brief hiatus we take time to discuss everything that has taken place during our time apart with a special episode. In this episode, we explore the inauguration, legacy left by the Trump era, comparing the true party differences in 2021, and the calls for unity amongst a divided nation. https://smile.amazon.com/Littledon-J-T-OConnell/dp/1512274461/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=littledon&qid=1605748597&sr=8-1
*Warning* Episode contains harsh langaugeWe're all on the edge. In this episode, we explore how even small things can send us into a spiral of anger. Merry Christmas, everyone!https://smile.amazon.com/Littledon-J-T-OConnell/dp/1512274461/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=littledon&qid=1605748597&sr=8-1
Instead of talking about the election, let's talk about why everyone is unhappy with the election. Even the people who wanted Biden to win and believe he has are unhappy. Their jubilation is skin deep. In order to keep our country together, we have to find out why both sides think the other side is winning everything.https://smile.amazon.com/Littledon-J-T-OConnell/dp/1512274461/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=littledon&qid=1605748597&sr=8-1
Student loan forgiveness is back in the public eye once more. College debt is out of control and tuition rates are even worse. At first glance, the right and the left do not see eye to eye on what is wrong with higher-ed and what can be done about it. But if we reframe the issue in a slightly different way, there might be a solution that the right and the left can agree on vigorously. And at this time, we should be looking for areas where we can agree with people across the ailse, while maintianing principled stands on each side. So here's my recommendation on how to talk about tuition.https://smile.amazon.com/Littledon-J-T-OConnell/dp/1512274461/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=littledon&qid=1605748597&sr=8-1
On this episode we get through the election stuff quickly and then take up the idea of identity formation again. What do you draw on as your sense of self? We take a look at Winston Churchill and Ayn Rand and compare these intruguing figures. Both were important figures in the twentieth century. How did they manage their self-understanding in the face of polemical dispute? What can we learn from them with regard to formulating our own self-image and presentation?https://smile.amazon.com/Littledon-J-T-OConnell/dp/1512274461/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=littledon&qid=1605748597&sr=8-1
Let's talk about the election. Yeah, I don't want to either. We have to. Fraud? Manipulation? Hyperbole? Jackassery? All that and more! To top it off, we have to eat a healthy dose of vegetables in the form of acknowledging that each of us can be better in how we talk about these matters. But if you think about it, it's Just Another Bite, so dig in!Warning: this podcast has more swearing than normal.
As the election trainwreck continues to pile off into the canyon of the courts and utter public distrust, we head back in time to look at how pre-historic man programmed us to believe and behave counter-productively. Why do we loathe inequality? Why, when inequality is so completely normal since written records began? And is it so bad to have inequality? Is it possibly even desirable?
