Podcasts about Consent

ROMAN KINGSHIP: FROM CITIZEN SELECTION TO THE IDEAL OF SERVICE Colleague Professor Edward J. Watts. Early Roman kings were selected by citizens based on merit rather than heredity, but figures like Servius Tullius began bypassing this consent. Conversely, Cincinnatus exemplifies the Roman ideal of service; he accepted absolute dictatorial power to save the state during a crisis, then immediately resigned to return to his farm.

In this deep-dive into the realms of law and self-governance, Phil Mederi breaks down equity jurisprudence—what it is, how it functions inside the modern legal and financial system, and why the distinction between public and private matters more than most people realize.We explore the 1933 monetary shift, the transition from gold-backed money to public credit, and how contracts, consent, and legal status shape modern obligations. Phil explains equity as a remedial system based on fairness, designed to make all parties whole—rather than a loophole, hack, or form of rebellion.This conversation is not about gaming the system, refusing responsibility, or denying obligations. It's about understanding how remedy, discharge, inquiry, and jurisdiction actually work, and what options exist for those seeking lawful, honorable resolution.Watch on Odysee.

Visit the Sex With Emily Website: https://sexwithemily.com/ Episode Description In this Sex with Emily episode, Dr. Emily sits down with Chelsey Goodan—the teenage girl whisperer whose new book "Underestimated" is revealing what happens when we actually start listening to the demographic we've been underestimating for generations. The surprisingly simple question that gets teenage girls to open up after years of shutting everyone out—and why the adults in their lives have been approaching these conversations completely backwards (hint: it's the same reason your last "how was school today?" got a one-word answer). Why teenage girls can spot your hidden agenda from a mile away, and the radical honesty approach that creates trust faster than any parenting book you've read—even when you think you're being subtle with your "protective" white lies. The age that girls start dieting that will make you rethink every compliment you've ever given a child—and the unconscious behavior women are modeling that's sabotaging the next generation's relationship with their bodies before they even hit puberty. That thing you keep saying is "fine" when it's absolutely not fine, and how the people-pleasing patterns you picked up as a teenage girl are still running your sex life, your relationships, and every dinner party you've ever thrown. The connection between your relationship to sex and your actual power that nobody talks about—and why embracing your "weird" might be the permission slip you need to stop performing and start feeling. Plus: why giving girls agency doesn't mean abandoning your role as a parent, and the one body-related comment you should never make to a teenage girl, even when you think you're being helpful.

They also talk about the jury outrage, the Cassie situation, and why people often prefer the more entertaining lie over the truth. From there, the conversation expands into the ugly realities of the music business: bad contracts, 360 deals, “opportunity” vs fair pay, and why artists keep signing anyway.They close with a real message: fame can make people accept deals and compromises they'll regret later, and in the end—knowledge, lawyers, and accountability matter.Tap in, and let us know in the comments: is the culture being consistent… or just picking sides?Support the show: Like

Kinsella on Liberty Podcast: Episode 479. Libertarian Nicholas Sinard asked me to field some questions about the referenced issues, so we did so. (Recorded Dec. 10, 2025.) https://youtu.be/DlbDlmuUPW0 Regarding our discussion of my previous comments about the definition of rights, and what rights are justified. As a definitional matter, a legal right is a legally enforceable claim to the exclusive use of a resource. As to what rights libertarians think are justified, I have discussed the idea that the only rights that are legitimate or just are those that the assertion of which cannot be coherently criticized. The reason is rooted in the logic of argumentation ethics and my estoppel defense of rights, e.g. society may justly punish those who have initiated force, in a manner proportionate to their initiation of force and to the consequences thereof, because they cannot coherently object to such punishment") Stephan Kinsella, "A Libertarian Theory of Punishment and Rights," in Legal Foundations of a Free Society (Houston, Texas: Papinian Press, 2023). See also chapters 6. Dialogical Arguments for Libertarian Rights, 7. Defending Argumentation Ethics: Reply to Murphy & Callahan, and 22. The Undeniable Morality of Capitalism, et pass.; and other writing such as KOL451 | Debating the Nature of Rights on The Rational Egoist (Michael Liebowitz) (from the transcript): [12:25–19:47] I think when people say that I have a right to X what they're really saying is if "I were to use force to defend my claim to this space" I can't be coherently criticized. In other words, my proposed use of force to defend this space, is just, is justified. Which is why it ties into what laws are justified. Because a law is just a social recognition, by your society—your local neighbors, the legal system—that they recognize your claim, and they're willing to endorse or support your use of force to defend yourself. So ultimately when we say there's a right, what we're saying is that if the legal system uses force to defend your claimed right, that use of force itself is justified. So this is a complicated way of saying what libertarians often say,  something like: it's either ballots or bullets. It always comes down to physical force in the end. So when you have a law, what you're saying is that the legal principle that we're that proposing—like defending my house, or my body from rape or murder—we're saying that if you were to use force to defend yourself, or if the legal system would do so in your name, then that would not be unjustified. And I think that's ultimately the claim. So what you're saying is ... the reason I call it a metanorm (( Rights as Metanorms; Rights and Morals as Intersecting Sets Not as Subset of Morals. )) is because ... Well, I distinguish between morality, and the justice of the legal system. So for example—and I think maybe Rand might agree with me on this, I'm not sure (( See, e.g, these tweets by Objectivist Michael Liebowitz, admitting that in some cases it might not only be moral to violate a right but immoral not to: 1, 2 ("Suppose a guy is driving with his son, and someone shoots up his car, badly wounding the son and taking out the tires. There is no one around, and he needs to get his son to a hospital. He sees an unattended parked car and steals it, getting his son the help he needs. That would be both virtuous and a crime."), 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 ("The person who wouldn't steal a dollar to prevent his children from being tortured is the person who should face harsh moral judgment."), 8.  ))—but a simplistic view of morality, which most libertarians might have—and I don't mean to be critical by saying simplistic, because it's an attempt to distinguish between...  so most people would say that "you shouldn't do drugs" and therefore they're not opposed to a law outlawing drugs, because to their simplistic linear mind, if it's immoral, it should be made illegal. But if you have a kind of a more nuanced view of things, you understand that, well just because something is immoral, doesn't mean it should be illegal. That's the libertarian view—its like, okay, doing drugs, being a  drug addict might be immoral, it might be harmful to your life, but you're not violating someone's rights. So the government [the state] is not justified in outlawing it. So that's like a second level. So when you explain that to your normy person, then you might say, well that's because morality, or that's because rights violations are a subset of morality. So that's kind of a first approximation about how you explain to people why everything that's not that's immoral should not be illegal. It's because a rights violation should be illegal, but that's only a subset of immorality. But when you put it that way, the assumption is that every rights violation is immoral although not everything that's immoral is a rights violation right. And my personal view that I've I've come to adopt over the years is that's that's actually slightly incorrect. In other words it it's incorrect to say that everything that's a rights violation is necessarily immoral. And the reason is because I view rights as a metanorm. This is the view as a human being, living in society, who wants to have a moral view of matters and the way human Society should operate, what law would I favor as a justified law? So I would say that we should have a law that says you can't steal from people. But what that means is that it's justified if the legal system uses force to stop crime, or to stop theft. It's justified. Which which means that if someone is caught being a thief or a rapist or a murderer and they're punished or dealt with in a certain way, that response by the legal system, or by the victim using the legal system as its proxy—you can't criticize that itself an immoral action; it's justified. So to my mind the ultimate purpose of law, and to think about this, is to think about what's justified. But it doesn't mean it doesn't mean that every rights violation is necessarily immoral. And again, it's because when you classify the legal system's response to a crime as justified, what you're saying is, it doesn't violate the aggressor's rights if force is used against him. But it doesn't necessarily imply that what he did was immoral. So this is why my view is that we have to view rights violations not as a proper subset of immorality, but as its own set which is mostly overlapping with immorality. So I would say that 99% of all rights violations are actually immoral, just like I would say that it's immoral to be a dishonest person in general but I don't think that it's logically necessarily true. And the reason is because the purpose of morality is to guide man's conduct in his everyday affairs, but the purpose of political ethics is to tell us which legal system is justified. So that morm is aimed at determining which laws are just; it's not aimed at telling us how we should act on a day-to-day basis. So given a legal system,  which I think is a just legal system—let's say we have a legal system where which outlaws murder and theft and extortion and rape and robbery and all this kind of stuff—that doesn't necessarily mean that I am always immoral if I choose to violate someone's rights in that system. It probably is in most cases,  but I'm not sure it's logically the same thing. [Then the example of someone in the woods breaking into a cabin to save their baby's life.] Shownotes (Grok) Show Notes: Stephan Kinsella & Nicholas Sinard on Co-Ownership, Property Rights, and Related Issues (Full conversation – Parts 1 & 2 combined) Opening Summary and Defense of Co-Ownership (0:00–4:41) Kinsella summarizes his long-standing view: co-ownership of scarce resources is unproblematic and historically unquestioned. Property rights exist to avoid interpersonal conflict over rivalrous (scarce) resources; contracts can split the “bundle of rights” in ways that still prevent conflict. Examples: state-owned property is actually co-owned by taxpayers/victims; homesteading-by-proxy creates temporary co-ownership; wills can be structured to achieve the same result even if death technically ends the testator's existence. Hoppe, Easements, and Collective Homesteading (4:41–8:22) Sinard: critics are taking Hoppe too literally when he says “only one owner per resource.” Hoppe himself recognizes easements, servitudes, and even collective homesteading (e.g., a commonly used village path). Practical co-ownership (spouses, roommates, joint heirs) already works via contracts and arbitration/divorce/sale when conflict arises. Meta-Norms and the Duty to Avoid Conflict (8:22–9:53) Even when no perfect rule exists, parties still have a background duty to seek peaceful dispute resolution rather than immediate violence. Property rights are not self-enforcing; they presuppose arbitration. Compossibility and the Essentialist Project (9:53–13:18) Sinard is working on an “essentialist” test: a proposed property-rights rule is only justifiable if it is logically compossible (no built-in conflicts). Kinsella links this to Hoppe's and Hülsmann's emphasis on compossible rights. Do Critics Really Oppose the Substance or Just the Word? (11:43–17:50) Kinsella suspects the dispute is merely semantic: critics accept contractual arrangements that achieve the same result as co-ownership but refuse the label. Sinard thinks critics mistakenly believe Kinsella derives property rights from contract (rather than contract from prior property rights). Tangent on contractarianism, mutual recognition, and argumentation ethics: mutual respect for rights is a proto-agreement, but contracts remain downstream of property. Consent, Revocability, and the Guest/Tenant Distinction (31:42–36:04) Bare consent (dinner guest, kissing) is revocable at will.

And Mary said, “Behold, I am the servant of the Lord; let it be to me according to your word.” And the angel departed from her. (Luke 1:38)

At the Fall '25 vCon in Washington, D.C., Doug Green, Publisher of Technology Reseller News, spoke with Jon Arnold, Principal of J Arnold & Associates, about why vCon matters, how it fits into the broader AI and communications landscape, and why legal frameworks around compliance and consent are as important as the technology itself. Arnold situates vCon—“virtual conversations”—as a response to a world where interactions are no longer just human-to-human, but also human-to-bot and bot-to-bot, generating vast amounts of conversational data that most organizations are not yet capturing or using effectively. Arnold explains that vCon is not a product but a standard—much like SIP was for VoIP—designed to create an open, interoperable ecosystem for conversational data. By encapsulating both data and metadata from calls, chats, and other interactions into a secure, portable container, vCon can help enterprises manage and analyze conversations across multiple channels, platforms, and use cases. This, he notes, is critical for domains such as UC, customer service, and broader AI-driven applications where structured and unstructured conversational data is becoming a strategic asset. A distinguishing feature of this event, Arnold observes, is the strong presence of legal and policy experts. With AI amplifying both innovation and risk, he underscores the centrality of compliance and consent. Without clear regulatory frameworks and governance, vCon-style capabilities could accelerate a slide toward a “surveillance society,” where every interaction is recorded and tracked without adequate safeguards. Getting lawyers and regulators involved early, Arnold suggests, improves the odds that vCon will scale in a way that balances innovation with consumer protection and trust. On the question of monetization, Arnold draws parallels to the early days of hosted voice and UCaaS: the ecosystem is still forming, a few players are close to real revenue, and many potential use cases are only now being discovered. As with other major technology shifts, he expects some of the most valuable applications to emerge “off-label,” driven by users who find unexpected value once the tools are in their hands. With an open standard, an emerging community, and early traction among sponsors and innovators, Arnold sees strong potential for vCon to become a foundational layer in the next era of AI-enabled communications.

Understanding Contract Defenses: The Safety Valves of LawThis conversation delves into the critical aspects of contract defenses, focusing on how contracts can fail despite appearing valid. It covers the distinctions between void and voidable contracts, the capacity of parties, vitiation of assent, misrepresentation, mistakes, and the implications of illegality and unconscionability. The discussion emphasizes the importance of understanding these defenses for law students preparing for exams, providing a structured analytical approach to tackle contract law questions effectively.In the intricate world of contract law, understanding the defenses available can be as crucial as knowing how to form a contract. These defenses act as safety valves, ensuring that agreements are not enforced when they are fundamentally flawed. Let's delve into the key defenses that can unmake a contract.Void vs. Voidable ContractsA critical distinction in contract law is between void and voidable contracts. A void contract is a nullity from the start, often due to illegality or lack of capacity. In contrast, a voidable contract is initially valid but can be invalidated by the victim due to factors like duress or fraud.Capacity and ConsentThe law protects those who may not fully understand the implications of a contract, such as minors or those with mental incapacities. These individuals have the power to disaffirm contracts, highlighting the law's protective stance. Consent, too, must be genuine. Misrepresentation, whether innocent or fraudulent, can render a contract voidable.Unconscionability and Public PolicyContracts that are grossly unfair or violate public policy are often unenforceable. Unconscionability addresses both procedural and substantive issues, ensuring that contracts are not enforced if they are shockingly one-sided.Understanding these defenses is crucial for anyone navigating contract law. They ensure that contracts are not just legally binding but also fair and just. As you prepare for your exams or real-world applications, remember these safety valves and their role in maintaining the integrity of contractual agreements.TakeawaysUnderstanding defenses is non-negotiable for law students.The difference between void and voidable contracts is crucial.Capacity of parties is a key factor in contract validity.Duress and undue influence can vitiate consent.Misrepresentation can be innocent, negligent, or fraudulent.Mutual mistake can lead to contract rescission.Unconscionability allows courts to refuse enforcement of unfair contracts.The statute of frauds requires certain contracts to be in writing.Restitution is a common remedy when contracts are unwound.A systematic approach is essential for analyzing contract defenses.contract law, void contracts, voidable contracts, capacity, consent, duress, misrepresentation, fraud, unconscionability, statute of frauds

Bobby and Alex discuss, um, extra virgin olive oil, bloodletting, raw milk, the state of healthcare in America, and one of the five best players in Major League Baseball. Then, they really dig into the MLB fan council, a highly-elaborate, poorly-constructed, thinly-veiled attempt at salary cap propaganda. Finally, they react to an updated ruling on the Derek Bender Rule 21(a) investigation. Links:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Join the Tipping Pitches Patreon ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Tipping Pitches merchandise ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Call the Tipping Pitches voicemail: 785-422-5881Tipping Pitches features original music from Steve Sladkowski of PUP.

Send us a textLaura Norton-Cruz is a licensed master social worker, former teacher & victim advocate, artist, and mother of two elementary-aged children. Over the past two years, she has co-produced three documentaries with filmmaker Joshua Albeza Branstetter. The first, “At Home/In Home: Rural Alaska Childcare crisis,” was based in Kotzebue and highlighted the dire lack of childcare in that community. The second, released in April 2025, was called, “ILP,” and focused on the infant learning program in the Mat-Su Valley. Her most recent, “Growing the Kenai: childcare licensing,” illuminates the obstacles to licensed childcare in Alaska. Last week she published an op-ed in the Mississippi Free Press entitled, “Raising teens in the era of the Epstein Files,” and that will frame our discussion for the second half of today's interview. Laura supports my House Bill 101 which would raise the age of consent in Alaska from 16 to 18 helping prevent the sexual victimization of young people by predators who take advantage of our low age of consent. For a timeline of all sexual misconduct allegations against President Donald Trump, click here.This is the Politico article I referenced about Katie Johnson, "Woman suing Trump over alleged teen rape drops suit, again."To watch Megyn Kelly's full comments about Jeffrey Epstein, click here.

Earlier this week, the Department of Telecommunications ordered smartphone manufacturers to pre-install the Sanchar Saathi app on all new devices. It also told them to ensure that the app's functionalities are not disabled. It said this would protect users from cyber-fraud and phone theft. But within two days, the government revoked this order. It justified the withdrawal by citing a surge in acceptance of the app. But the revocation was preceded by a tremendous pushback against the original order – from digital rights activists as well as the Opposition. They said it was an attempt to vastly expand the scope of state surveillance. How do we contextualise this entire episode? Tune in! Guest: Apar Gupta, founder director of Internet Freedom Foundation.

Texas has clarified that, under the state's amended “mini-TCPA,” businesses that send marketing texts with prior consumer consent will generally not be required to register as telephone solicitors or post a bond — a potentially major relief for marketers using SMS campaigns. The episode breaks down how S.B. 140 expanded Texas's telemarketing law to cover texts and what the recent court settlement means for consent-based SMS marketing, while highlighting the compliance steps still needed for issues like quiet hours, no-call lists, and recordkeeping. Hosted by Simone Roach. Based on a blog post by Alysa Z. Hutnik and Jennifer Rodden Wainwright.

A birthday roll call and some light sports trolling set the table for a run of jaw-dropping headlines: a Detroit mall stabbing after a card gets declined, a San Francisco light rail operator allegedly nodding off with passengers on board, and a Louisiana bank robber who faked a limp before sprinting out with cash. We push beyond the shock value to ask why our default is to record instead of respond, and what fatigue, stress, and attention culture are really doing to public safety and personal behavior. Then it gets even realer with a North Carolina alienation-of-affection verdict that cost a TikToker $1.75M, raising sharp questions about relationships, clout, and the law.From there, we shift into what became the heart of the show: a smart, no-fluff tour of the psychology of arousal. We unpack how the hypothalamus, amygdala, and prefrontal cortex shape desire; why dopamine drives wanting while opioids and serotonin govern liking; and how fear and excitement share circuitry, making risky moments feel electric. Consent isn't a buzzkill here—it's a confidence booster that quiets the inner critic and lets curiosity speak plainly. We talk kinks born from comfort and power dynamics, not just trauma, and we practice boundary-setting in the moment, swapping shame for literacy and pressure for clarity.To sharpen the language around all this, we layer in a vocabulary upgrade: palimpsest for layered histories, noctilucent for what glows at night, catawampus for chaos, ultra-crepidarian for the loud-and-wrong, and seraphic for light that feels pure. Along the way, you'll hear raw confessions, a wild “what would you do” scenario, and a reminder that culture can be messy while your mind stays meticulous. Tap play for crime, culture, and chemistry, told with warmth, humor, and a lot of honesty.If this hit a nerve or taught you something new, follow the show, share it with a friend who loves smart talk, and leave a quick review to help more curious people find us.Support the showFollow us on social media www.instagram.com/noadvisorypod

According to a study by experts from the RCSI University of Medicine and Health Sciences, almost 20% of 15–16-year-olds have had an explicit image of them shared without their consent, while the growth of sexting is leading to poorer mental health and increased risk of self-harm. Joining us to discuss this further is Professor Mary Cannon, Professor of Psychiatric Epidemiology and Youth Mental Health at RCSI.

Ever since the novel was invented, women have used it as a platform for sharing ideas about sexual consent. In her new book Courting Disaster: Reading Between the Lines of the Regency Novel, Dr. Zoë McGee reveals how Jane Austen and other women writers from this time used their stories to try to change society's mind about rape culture - and to reassure survivors they were not alone. Zoë joins us today to talk about how her research revealed a quiet feminist movement that still resonates today. Because every novel about marriage is also a novel about consent.

In this episode, we open with a look at how news coverage distorts public perception of danger, from shark attacks to terrorism, and why our instincts so often fail to match the data. We analyze the betting markets in regards to potential 2028 GOP presidential candidates. We discuss Ohio's new proposal to offer paternity testing at birth, raising deeper questions about truth, family, and whether the state should standardize knowledge people may prefer not to have. We explore what consent really means in modern politics, how taxation relates to self-ownership, and whether withdrawing consent is even possible inside a democratic system. We dig into the philosophy of “future selves,” weighing whether personal choices today can violate the rights of the person we eventually become, and how this idea might reshape debates about children, drug laws, responsibility, and property rights. We wrap with the growing implications of deepfake technology, including one startling clip that hits very close to home. 00:00 Introduction and Overview 00:31 America's Real Causes of Death vs. Media Coverage 04:54 Heart Disease, Suicide, Homicide: Comparing Risk to Headlines 07:47 Terrorism Coverage and the Outlier Problem 09:27 Why Our Brains Misread Danger 11:48 New Ohio Bill on Paternity Testing 13:59 The Ethics of Mandatory vs. Optional Paternity Tests 17:05 PolyMarket Odds for 2028 GOP Presidential Candidates 21:48 What Yoga Can Teach Economists About Property Rights 23:31 Self-Ownership, Labor, and the Logic of Markets 27:01 Voting, Consent, and Withdrawing From the Regime 34:13 Environmental Ethics and “Not Stealing From the Earth” 36:23 Can You “Steal” From Your Future Self? 37:25 Identity Over Time: Are You the Same Person Decades Later? 42:08 Do Children Have Full Rights?

Jeffrey Epstein tried to manipulate the laws governing sex-offender oversight and age-of-consent enforcement in the U.S. Virgin Islands (USVI) — in a way that would benefit him personally. According to court filings and public reporting, a powerful figure in the territory's government, Cecile de Jongh (then-First Lady of the USVI), allegedly approached Epstein for his approval on draft legislation intended to govern sex-offenders. She purportedly sent him a version of a proposed bill and asked: “Will it work for you?” Epstein then made edits favorable to his freedom of movement and privacy — for example limiting how the law would track or publicize who he stayed with, and how long he was abroad. That proposed legislation never became law; but the attempt itself shows how Epstein used political influence inside the USVI to try to reshape laws in his favor.The broader allegation is that this legal tampering was part of a quid-pro-quo relationship between Epstein and high-ranking officials in the territory, who reportedly accepted his money, tax-breaks, and other favors while looking the other way as Epstein ferried in under-age girls to his private island, Little Saint James. Through that influence over legislation and local governance, Epstein allegedly sought to water down oversight and monitoring — effectively giving him greater freedom to move girls in and out of the territory without drawing attention. This manipulation of the law helped create a permissive environment for his broader sex-trafficking and abuse network in the USVI.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

What do building a deep bond with your loving partner of 50 years, establishing boundaries before (or during!) a one night stand, or simply ordering a cup of coffee on the go all have in common?
