The discussion centered on the concept of "deficit delusion," where Kerry Lutz and John Tamny argued that the perceived crisis of government debt is a misinterpretation, attributing the real issue to excessive government resource consumption. John highlighted that government spending limits societal advancement, while Kerry pointed out that the current system facilitates easy borrowing through excessive revenue collection. They characterized the situation as a form of theft through taxation, emphasizing that high levels of government intervention lead to economic inefficiencies and lost opportunities for taxpayers. They suggested that maintaining government spending at historical levels could have significantly enhanced national wealth. The conversation also explored the relationship between personal mental states and economic perceptions, with John asserting that savings drive economic growth more than consumption. They discussed the importance of individual economic freedom and the detrimental effects of policies that restrict wealth and trade. Kerry advocated for improved economic education, drawing parallels to successful public health campaigns, while John critiqued the dominance of Keynesian thought in economic education. They further examined the implications of currency stability on economic health, criticizing past administrations for dollar devaluation. The discussion concluded with reflections on the significance of John's upcoming book, "The Deficit Delusion."

In the latest episode of Let Us Think About It, host Ryder Richards tackles the provocative and polarizing work of Ward Churchill, Pacifism as Pathology. Published in 1986 and later expanded, this essay challenges the sanctity of nonviolent activism, arguing that it not only fails to dismantle oppressive systems but actively reinforces the state's power. Churchill, a controversial scholar and activist known for his radical critiques of American imperialism and colonialism, wrote this piece out of frustration with the dominance of pacifist tactics in North American progressive movements during the 1980s—a time marked by Reagan's Cold War policies, military interventions, and rising economic inequality.Richards sets the stage with a vivid metaphor: a towering fortress representing the state's violent, coercive power, unshaken by protesters wielding candles and moral conviction. Churchill contends that pacifism is a pathological delusion, rooted in historical revisionism, moral contradictions, and a refusal to confront the state's inherent violence. The episode breaks down his critique into three key arguments:Pacifism as Delusion: Churchill likens pacifism to medieval alchemy—a futile attempt to transform oppressive systems through wishful thinking. He argues that pacifists naively believe their moral purity and symbolic acts (marches, vigils, sit-ins) can erode state power, ignoring its reliance on armed forces like police and military. This “sublime arrogance” limits transformative potential, allowing the state to thrive on empty gestures.Historical Revisionism: Churchill debunks pacifism's supposed victories by examining historical failures. He points to the Jewish communities in Nazi Germany, where pacifist strategies facilitated the Holocaust's efficiency, with no significant armed resistance. Similarly, he challenges the myth that the anti-Vietnam War movement's nonviolence ended the war, noting that Vietnamese armed resistance and internal U.S. military breakdowns were the true catalysts for change. These examples expose pacifism's practical shortcomings and reliance on cherry-picked narratives.Pacifism as Racist and Suicidal: Churchill argues that pacifism displaces state violence onto marginalized groups, particularly people of color, while white activists remain in a “comfort zone.” He calls this a racist paradox, where pacifists support armed struggles abroad (e.g., Vietnam's National Liberation Front) but demand nonviolence domestically. Furthermore, he labels pacifism suicidal, claiming it invites state violence by refusing self-defense, as seen in the Holocaust's tragic outcomes. This pathology, Churchill suggests, is akin to a dogmatic, quasi-religious belief system, resistant to logic or critique.Richards contextualizes Churchill's work within the 1980s progressive landscape, shaped by the legacies of Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr., and highlights his perspective as an indigenous scholar critical of liberal dogmas. The episode acknowledges the discomfort of challenging widely held values like peace and nonviolence, encouraging listeners to absorb the critique before part two, which will explore Churchill's proposed solutions, incorporate current events, and draw on thinkers like Slavoj Žižek to broaden the discussion.This episode is a bold invitation to question assumptions about social change and confront the harsh realities of state power. Whether you agree or disagree with Churchill's radical stance, Richards' engaging analysis sparks critical reflection on the effectiveness of nonviolent activism in the face of systemic oppression. Stay tuned for the next installment, where the conversation will deepen with practical remedies and contemporary perspectives.

Dig into the Salem witch trials with playwright Matt Cox, whose play Witches?! In Salem!? offers a fresh perspective on one of history's most tragic episodes. This isn't your typical historical drama – Cox has crafted something that's both rigorously researched and surprisingly funny, managing to honor the victims while illuminating the very human motivations behind the 1692 tragedy.Matt spent eight years developing this play, transforming it from a simple comedy about fantasy witches into a nuanced exploration of actual history and human nature. The result is a work that includes real fantasy witches who ironically never get blamed, while the innocent townspeople fall victim to fear, social pressure, and petty grievances that spiral devastatingly out of control.As a descendant of Rebecca Nurse and Mary Esty – two of the Salem victims – Sarah brings a personal perspective to this conversation about how historical trauma can be transformed into meaningful art. We'll explore how Matt incorporated real historical research, why he made specific creative choices, and how the play has evolved through different versions and productions.At its heart, Witches?! In Salem!? reminds us that the people involved in Salem weren't monsters – they were humans like us, making it both a sobering reminder of our capacity for harm and, surprisingly, a source of hope for learning to do better. Join us as we discuss finding truth and even humor in one of history's darkest chapters.LinksRead the Script: Witches!? in Salem?!

It's National Martini Day! So join Jim and Greg for Thursday's 3 Martini Lunch as they look at Israel's ingenious plan to kill many top Iranian military figures as the airstrikes began last week. They also consider President Trump's final push for a nuclear deal with Iran, and Florida Rep. Maxwell Frost openly admitting he wants amnesty and citizenship for every illegal immigrant.First, they break down how Israel's Mossad cleverly exploited Iranian communications to lure top commanders into the same bunker and then made that the first target of the bombing campaign. Jim and Greg can't help but limagine the generals questioning who called the meeting moments before the explosion. Jim says this also confirms his long-standing loathing of in-person meetings.Next, they react to President Trump and U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff trying the diplomatic route one more time to get Iran to abandon it's nuclear weapons ambitions. Jim has been less than impressed with Witkoff's performance in the Middle East and Russia so far. He also says it's clear Trump is doing everything he can to avoid a full-scale war with Iran.Finally, they react to Rep. Frost's openly radical proposal to solve illegal immigration by simply granting amnesty and citizenship to everyone here unlawfully. Jim and Greg dissect the political and national security consequences, with Jim arguing this reflects Democrats' ongoing delusion that Americans support their policies but just need them explained better.Finally, they cringe at the absurd but honest call from Rep. Frost to end the problem of illegal immigrants by quickly legalizing them and making them citizens. Amnesty would not only reward the existing lawbreakers but attract many more people to come here illegally. Jim says this is also evidence that many Dems convinced themselves of the delusion that Americans really do love their policies and they only need to communicate them better.

In this explosive two-part episode, Tara dives into the absurd and the alarming. First, it's a mix of comedy and caution with the viral phenomenon “Office Chair Butt”—how sedentary lifestyles are reshaping more than just our routines. Tara and Producer Tim share laughs and fitness hacks, including a shocking Washington Post test that claims to predict your odds of dying within a decade. Spoiler: it's harder than it sounds! Then, things get serious fast. Tara unpacks the jaw-dropping arrest of NYC Comptroller Brad Lander after he tried to detain ICE agents, exposing the double standard of justice for Democrats. She slams the left's delusional view of immigration and defends the legal immigrant officers Lander tried to confront. The second half zeroes in on the dangerous game with Iran. With Trump now saying “I was the hunted, now I'm the hunter,” Tara argues the Ayatollah's assassination plots and nuclear ambitions leave no room for compromise. Is regime change the only way forward? From gym gossip to global threats, this episode is a wild, unfiltered ride through the cultural and political battlegrounds shaping America's future.
One of the contradictions of modern environmentalism is that a concern for ‘nature' embodies a separation between humans and the living world.

In this episode of The E1B2 Collective Podcast, AJ Vaughan unpacks a provocative insight sparked by a recent listen to The Ready Podcast: why do we expect the same average teams—who've struggled to innovate for years—to suddenly spark change just by “collaborating more”? He explores the seductive myth of internal DIY transformation, the overlooked power of psychological safety, and the real reason your team might be stuck in the mud.AJ challenges HR leaders and executives to rethink how they budget for capability-building—not just execution. He dives deep into the ROI of bringing in external experts, not to replace internal teams, but to level them up, build muscle, and transfer mindsets that actually stick. This one's for the CHROs, L&D leads, and People Ops innovators tired of spinning in circles with “collaborative mediocrity.”Stop doing more of the same and expecting better. Let's talk about what real change takes.

Dr. Snyder emphasizes that success in dentistry is a daily pursuit, not a destination. He criticizes the notion of "arrival," arguing that it breeds complacency and stagnation. True success involves continuous growth, impact, mastery, and legacy. He warns against the illusion of success based on material possessions or social media metrics, highlighting the importance of consistent effort, aligned goals, and effective systems. He also encourages dentists to set SMART goals, maintain a high-performance mindset, and avoid the trap of believing they have "arrived."Listen in!Thank You for enjoying this episode of Delusional: Winning the Weekly War of DentistryRESOURCES:Learn more about LEGIONSubscribe to DELUSIONAL: Winning The Weekly War PodcastWrite a Review on iTunes

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit wisdomofcrowds.liveWe live in an increasingly weird world, where the weirdness is facilitated and accelerated by the Internet. We live in a world full of instantly-available bizarre pornography and terrorist attacks inspired by misanthropic ideologies whose manifestos are published online. Katherine Dee, an Internet ethnographer, writer and friend of Wisdom of Crowds, joins Christine Emba and Shadi Hamid to talk about the recent terrorist attack on an IVF clinic in California and Christine's recent New York Times article about the social damage wrought by porn.Shadi shakes things up by posing a blunt question at the very beginning: Should we ban porn? It hurts men as well as women. Why not? Can we reconcile the ideals of liberalism with a state effort to suppress pornographic content? This question inspires Christine and Katherine to reflect about the ethics of sex work, the perils of reporting on dangerous and soul-crushing topics, as well as signs of hope in American culture.Throughout, Katherine applies her trusty reporter's eye toward making an accurate, non-judgmental and perceptive account of what's really going on with sex and ideology on the Internet. Christine, for her part, makes the case of norms and shame as useful tools for making society better. Shadi, in Socratic fashion, tests the strength of his interlocutors' arguments.In the bonus section for paid subscribers, Katherine explains the nuances of “efilism” and “promortalism”; Shadi reflects on the meaning of suffering and how belief in God changes one's approach to suffering; and Christine reflects on “cold, rational logical measure — suffering v. pleasure. Pleasure v. nothing.”Required Reading and Listening:* Christine Emba, “The Delusion of Porn's Harmlessness” (New York Times). * Katherine Dee, “An Efilist Just Bombed a Fertility Clinic.

Purpose is a factor of life that every man knows will improve his quality of life. Unfortunately, we seem to be in an era when purpose is increasingly abysmal in the lives of too many men. Men in all walks and stages of life are floundering around aimlessly, wondering why they're anxious, depressed, and alone. My guest today, Garrett Unclebach, former Navy SEAL, is a man who is intimately familiar with why and how purpose drives men to step up, take charge of their lives, and succeed. We unpack why a man must look beyond himself, how surrendering in certain circumstances could lead you to an incredible place you've never considered, the power of equanimity and how to cultivate it, why being faithful when you have nothing leads to a life of prosperity and abundance, and how to judge what you should be doing and who you should be doing it with.

In this episode, Mosh sits down with Chris Whipple, author of the new book Uncharted: How Trump Beat Biden, Harris, and the Odds in the Wildest Campaign in History for a behind-the-scenes look at the tight-lipped four years of the Biden Administration. Whipple interviewed several former White House staffers–including Biden's former Chief of Staff, Ron Klain–about Biden's decline before and during his presidency, and what he calls a “fog of delusion and denial” in the President's inner circle leading into the 2024 campaign. He takes us inside Camp David for the prep before his disastrous June 27 debate, and the chaos in the Democratic party during the three weeks after the debate until Biden's decision to drop out. It's also a story of personalities in Washington: the complicated relationship between Biden and Barack Obama, why Kamala Harris' loyalty may have contributed to her failed campaign, and why President Trump's Chief of Staff, Susie Wiles, might have a better handle on him than anyone who held the role in his first term.
It can be challenging to be faithful towards your goals and objectives in the seemingly endless supply of trials and adversity. Whether you're dealing with a crippling financial situation, devastating divorce, or something like my guest today, Hal Elrod, dealt with, a life-threatening cancer diagnosis. In spite of all that, and more, you have responsibilities to take care of and duties to fulfill. So, how do you do it? Today, Hal and I talk about being realistic in your pursuits by balancing the line between probable and possible, what is a true miracle and how to create more of them in your life, the powerful connection between mind and body (and, how to use it), and using affirmations in a way that works.
