Listen to Jake Merrick's discussion with Shelley Gwartney, candidate for Senate, District 33.   Shelley talks about her reason for entering this race for Senate District 33, her work with Moms For Liberty, and engaging with school boards across her district.

At the Gwartney Institute, we're very fancy.  Still, we wanted to know: What exactly constitutes high art?  Is there any substantial difference between the avant-garde and what the rest of us enjoy? Peter walks the Gwartney team through an interesting article purporting to answer this very question. Along the way they touch on haute cuisine, cinema, centerfolds, and punk rock.

Could we work less and be better off?  The traditional 40-hour work week has been under the microscope in certain policy circles, accompanied by suggestions that if we moved to a 4-day work week (or a similarly reduced schedule) we would be happier and just as wealthy.  The Gwartney team takes precious time out of their respective work weeks to look at these suggestions and the assumptions and arguments which motivate them.

When we think about what constitutes human flourishing, we usually think about family and vocation.  But this leaves out an important source of meaning in our lives: our hobbies.  What is a hobby anyway, and why so many of us consider them so important?  Are there any features that make some activities better suited to be hobbies than others?  Is our society getting better or worse at having hobbies? Join the Gwartney team for a discussion about one of life's under-analyzed pleasures: the noble hobby.

We attempt to lay some of the intellectual groundwork that is necessary for the discussion of aliens by discussing multiple theories that have emerged over the past 50 years and wonder, would it be in humans best interest for aliens to exist?

Peter argues that there needs to be a checkpoint of meaning from the author for interpretations to have any value.

Yet, as artificial intelligence is making strides in advancement, what does this mean for the future of education? While the team thinks AI is not at a level of eliminating essays from the curriculum, we do believe there will be potential for a transition back to hands-on learning.

In the late 1960s, Paul Ehrlich predicted that the world was facing the mass extinction of land and sea animals. He predicted that the coastline would have to be evacuated ten years after his first book was written due to the smell of dead fish. After the Green Bay Packers defeated the Minnesota Vikings last week, Paul Ehrlich was seen on CBS' 60 Minutes, restating arguments he made almost 50 years ago. The Gwartney team discusses issues with Elhrich's logic and presents arguments against mass extinction. We suggest that humans are inherently different from other animals for we have the ability to innovate with the resources around us. We must strive toward policies that encourage innovation and away from over-restrictive policies that limit the use of resources.

Has the idea of gift-giving exceeded what was thought of as its potential? Does gift-giving highlight the core values we want to imbed in our future? We discover the actual value of a gift comes from the effort and thought that the giver put into it.
