On Tuesday's Mark Levin Show, the Allied bombing of Dresden in February 1945 was a terror campaign targeting civilians in a non-military city, resulting in massive casualties via firestorms from British and U.S. air raids.  The modern hypocrisy from U.K. and French leaders, who pressure Israel over Gaza—blaming it for starvation caused by Hamas, demanding ceasefires, and threatening Palestinian state recognition—while ignoring their own countries' declines due to open borders and radical Islamists, and applying impossible standards to Israel that no nation, including the U.S, would accept for itself. Later, On Power is out in stores today! The core struggle in humanity, particularly in culture and government, is over power, which determines liberty and rights—this is the essence of the Revolutionary War, the Constitution, and ongoing battles in places like New York and Minneapolis, as well as globally.  America is uniquely better, founded as a blank slate without feudalism or other isms," as John Locke described, which makes it hated by Marxists in academia and the Democrat Party, along with political Islamists. These groups despise liberty, individuality, free will, merit, and success, seeking to divide America through racism, wokeism, non-assimilating immigration, and destroyed education systems. Everything they touch fails because they aim to destroy society, fundamentally transforming individuals into obedient servants of a ruling class. The Democrat Party embraces Marxism and Islamism, stealing free will by controlling groceries, housing, property, and accusing merit of racism.  Also,  Sen Chuck Schumer accuses Republicans of preventing poor people, people of color, and Democrats from voting and rejecting democracy. This is agitprop—negative language serving negative power, akin to Leninist and Marxist tactics—using slogans and half-truths to exploit grievances, subvert civil society, corrupt harmony, and manipulate populations by creating jealousies and hate, rather than fostering rational policy discussion or positive language that encourages debate and truth-seeking.

In this episode, Todd continues dismantling the transformation of modern political movements into ideological religions—complete with dogma, heresy, excommunication, and a mob-ready priesthood of online enforcers. Drawing on figures like H.L. Mencken, Joan Didion, Noam Chomsky, and Ralph Waldo Emerson, he explores how belief systems—left and right—have become substitute faiths, powered by dopamine, hashtags, and performative outrage. Todd weaves in cognitive science (via Nicholas Carr and neuroplasticity), propaganda theory (via Jacques Ellul and Edward Bernays), and personal experience to reveal how the digital age has eroded attention spans, critical thought, and individual conscience. Social media becomes the new pulpit. Echo chambers replace dialogue. Heresy now means thinking for yourself. At the core is a warning: intellectual autonomy now requires personal and moral courage. The courage to be disliked. To reject tribalism. To say, “That's bullshit”—especially when it comes from your own side. From Mencken's skewering of revivalist mobs to the modern cancellation of NPR apostate Uli Berliner, Todd paints a bleak but brutally honest picture of conformity culture, urging listeners to reclaim their minds—even if it means exile. This is not a feel-good sermon. It's a call to arms for the heretical unicorn.   *Recorded in Southwest Michigan and blasting worldwide on WBCQ 7490 starting next week! Details inside.   Like it?

In this scathing and soul-punching episode, Todd eulogizes more than just Ozzy Osbourne and Hulk Hogan—he autopsies America's descent into ideological fundamentalism. What do woke mobs, medieval witch trials, and Facebook shares have in common? The answer: moral certitude without grace. Todd dissects how modern ideological tribes—particularly on the Left—have replaced traditional religion with secular dogma, complete with martyrs, heresies, rituals, and catechisms. Using Hulk Hogan's post-mortem cancellation as a case study, he exposes how one taboo word now carries more social weight than actual violence, rape, or corruption. The result? A society where redemption is off the table, and performance is king. From Ozzy's “The Ultimate Sin” to McLuhan's media warnings, this episode drips with unfiltered cynicism and cultural excommunication. If you've ever wondered how virtue-signaling replaced virtue—or why dissent now threatens belonging more than reason—don't miss this blistering analysis. Recorded in Southwest Michigan.

Some see AI as the ultimate evolution of human progress, while skeptics dismiss it as a bubble or worse. The tech's strengths and flaws—automation, hallucinations, social impact—are driving both hype and backlash. This split isn't about tech, it's about belief. Would You Replace Your CEO with an AI Avatar? Tech CEOs Are Testing the WatersSome tech bosses are literally sending AI versions of themselves to earnings calls: Klarna's Sebastian Siemiatkowski and Zoom's Eric Yuan let digital avatars do their talking for them. Meanwhile, Klarna's CEO even admitted AI could eventually replace his own job—though real-world chaos means humans aren't fully out… yet. Winning the AI Race Means More Than Just Tech—The U.S. Needs StrategyThe U.S.–China AI competition isn't just about building smarter bots—it's a full-on geopolitical showdown. It's a race on three fronts: developing AGI, embedding AI across societies, and securing chips, data lanes, and regulation. To stay on top, the U.S. needs a holistic plan that blends innovation, smart policy, and defense—not just private‑sector hype. Left Tech for Welding—Here's Why It Was the Best Move EverTabby Toney got laid off from her software gig in May and bailed on tech because AI was making everything feel shallow.

But with no clue how the AI makes decisions, questions around safety, transparency, pricing, and monopoly loom large.

Janet Hayes shares her journey as a severe mental illness advocate reshaping New Orleans through innovative care systems for those with serious mental health challenges. • Started advocacy after Hurricane Katrina when untreated mental illness led to criminalization • Witnessed a friend die in custody due to inadequate mental health and medical care • Founded Healing Minds NOLA to create a "one-stop shop" for mental health care • Successfully led implementation of Assistive Outpatient Treatment courts in Louisiana • Working to reform the "15-day rule" limiting psychiatric hospitalization under Medicaid • Advocates need to understand their specific state systems rather than applying generic solutions • Louisiana has adequate psychiatric bed capacity but lacks long-term continuity of care • Policy barriers, not just funding issues, prevent effective treatment for severe mental illness • Ideological positions often prevent pragmatic solutions that could help vulnerable individuals • Advocates are more effective when they understand local systems and speak from experience https://whynotme.world intro/outro music written by T.

Flexibility is a cardinal virtue in physical fitness, and according to political psychologist and neuroscientist Leor Zmigrod, it can be a cardinal virtue in our mental health, too. How she came to that conclusion and how common rigid thinking can be are themes explored in her new book, The Ideological Brain. “I think that from all the research that I've done,” she tells interviewer David Edmonds in this Social Science Bites podcast, “I feel that what rigid thinking does is it numbs people to the complexity of their own experience, and it simplifies their thinking. It makes them less free, less authentic, less expansive in their imagination.” And while she acknowledges there are times being unbending may be seen as an asset, “rigid thinking is rarely good for you at an individual level.” In this podcast, she details some of the work – both with social science experimentation and with brain imaging – that determines if people are flexible in their thinking, what are the real-life benefits of being flexible, if they can change, and how an ideological brain, i.e. a less flexible brain, affects politics and other realms of decision-making. “When you teach or when you try to impart flexible thinking, you're focusing on how people are thinking, not what they're thinking,” Zmigrod explains. “So it's not like you can have a curriculum of ‘like here is what you need to think in order to think flexibly,' but it's about teaching how to think in that balanced way that is receptive to evidence, that is receptive to change, but also isn't so persuadable that any new authority can come and take hold of your thoughts.” Zmigrod was a Gates Scholar at Cambridge University and won a winning a Junior Research Fellowship at Churchill College there. She has since held visiting fellowships at Stanford and Harvard universities, and both the Berlin and Paris Institutes for Advanced Study. Amond many honors the young scholar received are the ESCAN 2020 Young Investigator Award by the European Society for Cognitive and Affective Neuroscience, the Glushko Dissertation Prize in Cognitive Science by the Cognitive Science Society, . the 2020 Women of the Future Science Award and the 2022 Women in Cognitive Science Emerging Leader Award, and the 2022 Distinguished Junior Scholar Award in Political Psychology by the American Political Science Association. 

Recent weeks have made deep-seated schisms in both parties explode to the surface. Whether the parties can figure out how to bridge them -- not to mention the larger chasm between the Democratic and Republican parties -- will determine what happens in the 2026 midterm elections and beyond. On the Democratic side, the split between mainline Democrats and progressives erupted after Zohran Mamdani's victory in the New York City mayoral primary. For the Republicans, the conflict pivots around Donald Trump's influence and the emerging tensions between traditional political conservatives and the MAGA faction.Matt Robison is joined by Matt Wylie, a top Republican political consultant, to explore these intra-party conflicts, the role of ideological and affective polarization among voters, and the potential impact on future elections. 00:00 Introduction: Political Schisms05:55 Strategic Implications for Democrats23:06 The Role of Ideological and Affective Polarization35:39 The MAGA Dilemma43:05 The Dysfunction in Congress53:03 The Abdication of Responsibility58:22 The Need for Coherent Opposition01:04:08 Concluding Thoughts and Future Discussions

In his new book, The Community College Reform Movement: Contentions and Ideological Origins (Routledge, 2025), political scientist Milton Clarke critically examines the rise of the higher education reform movement, often referred to as the “completion agenda,” which, since the early 2000s, has sought to restructure core aspects of the community college experience. Drawing on community colleges from across nine U.S. states as practical examples, this exploration examines the major higher education reforms, including dual enrollment, guided pathways, the demise of developmental education, corequisites, and performance-based funding. Against the popular view that support for such policies is tied to neoliberalism, this book argues for a more nuanced understanding of the complicated and often indistinct ideological foundation of the reform movement, demonstrating that supporters and detractors alike draw on similar concepts of equity, student success, and affordability. This complication is further clarified through an account of the history, process, functions, and institutions that paved the way for the advent of the higher education reform movement. This book is vital reading for anyone interested in the future of community colleges and higher education. A special resonance is expected among researchers, scholars, and educators working in higher education, educational reform, and educational policy. Learn more about your ad choices.

This week we ask what drives ideological disagreement in politics? How far do people on left and right disagree with each other because they have fundamentally different moral intuitions or for other reasons? Polarisation is a defining feature of contemporary politics, raising concerns among many observers. People on the left and right—liberals and conservatives—often seem to inhabit entirely different worlds, holding fundamentally distinct perspectives on reality and morality. But what underpins these divisions? Are they rooted in deep-seated moral intuitions that we are born with or develop in childhood? Or do they stem from our present circumstances and the media landscape that shapes our understanding of the world? In this episode, we explore ground-breaking research by two scholars from the UCL Department of Political Science—Dr Jack Blumenau and Prof Ben Lauderdale. Their work offers fresh insights into the nature of political disagreement, challenging conventional wisdom about its origins. Jack join us to discuss these findings.

In this timely episode, FAIR Executive Director Monica Harris, joined by Gabriel Nadales and Suzannah Alexander, examines the troubling rise of mandated ideological conformity across professional education programs with Zander Keig and Nafees Alam. Following FAIR's groundbreaking formal complaint to the Department of Education against CACREP (Council for Accreditation of Counseling and Related Education Programs) for compelling students to adopt specific ideological positions on race and privilege, the panel explores how similar patterns of coerced belief systems have infiltrated social work, medical, legal, and K-12 education programs nationwide. The discussion delves into real-world consequences for students who face academic penalties for expressing dissenting views or religious beliefs that conflict with prescribed ideologies, while offering concrete strategies for promoting genuine viewpoint diversity and protecting students' constitutional rights. As the conversation unfolds, the panelists thoughtfully consider whether FAIR's approach to challenging CACREP could serve as a model for addressing ideological conformity enforced by other accrediting bodies, such as the CSWE (Council on Social Work Education), ultimately asking whether the time has come for a broader movement to restore intellectual freedom and critical thinking in professional education.Podcast notesFAIR is a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization dedicated to advancing civil rights and liberties, and promoting a common culture grounded in fairness, understanding, and humanity.

On Wednesday's Mark Levin Show, Iran, and isolationist ideologies are major threats. DNI Tulsi Gabbard's stance on nuclear war and her revisionism about the U.S. defeating Imperial Japan under Harry Truman are grotesque. Gabbard, the Quincy Institute, and people like Chatsworth Qatarlson (Tucker Carlson) are emboldening Iran's regime by signaling American weakness.  Despite the fake news, Iran is pursuing nuclear weapons, and moral clarity is demanded against the Islamo-Nazi regime in Tehran. Prudent, fact-driven foreign policy is essential, with a commitment to hold misleading media and ideologues accountable. Later, the media ignored the funding behind the L.A. riots by Marxists and Islamists while promoting revolutionary rhetoric from protesters claiming indigenous rights and advocating socialism. Immigration should prioritize American citizens, not illegal immigrants. Also, a federal judge in Newark, New Jersey, appointed by Joe Biden, ruled that the Trump administration cannot detain Mahmoud Khalil. Khalil is not a student but a Hamas supporter who violated his immigration status by promoting a terrorist organization's agenda and engaging in efforts to undermine the U.S. and attack Jews.

Edition No155 | 08-06-2025 - Russia has a fascist ideology. It may be incoherent when it comes to doctrinal details, but it is clear on one thing. If you are part of the democratic world, it intends to destroy you. Russian propagandists and ideologies are clear on this point at least. It's time to face this ideology for what it really is: aggressive, intolerant, extreme, calculated, premeditated and completely nihilistic. Modern Russian fascism is built for export, and is fundamentally opposed to the democratic world, its culture, values and its institutions. In this episode we'll look at an interview given for Le Grand Continent, a respected European journal of geopolitical analysis published by the GEG - Groupe d'Études Géopolitiques, a think tank affiliated with the prestigious École Normale Supérieure in Paris. They published a deeply disturbing conversation with Sergei Karaganov, one of the Kremlin's most influential ideologues and a longtime advisor to Vladimir Putin.----------Links: https://legrandcontinent.eu/fr/2025/06/07/entretien-avec-serguei-karaganov-larchitecte-de-la-geopolitique-de-poutine/https://substack.com/@statedept/p-164571608----------SUMMER FUNDRAISERSNAFO & Silicon Curtain community - Let's help help 5th SAB together https://www.help99.co/patches/nafo-silicon-curtain-communityWe are teaming up with NAFO 69th Sniffing Brigade to provide 2nd Assault Battalion of 5th SAB with a pickup truck that they need for their missions.

In our latest episode we speak with the author and academic Frank Gerits, whose most recent work explores the history of the intense ideological battle which took place in the 1950s and 1960s for African hearts and minds. His book, The Ideological Scramble for Africa, explores how this competition wasn't just between Cold War superpowers, but among African leaders themselves who were projecting competing visions of what African modernity should look like. In this conversation with Robert Amsterdam, Dr. Gerits gives an informed portrait of key figures such as Ghana's Kwame Nkrumah, whose revolutionary call for immediate continental unity challenged both colonial powers and fellow African leaders. While leaders like Senegal's Senghor favored maintaining ties with Europe and others promoted regional federations, Nkrumah demanded complete independence and a "Monroe Doctrine for Africa" that would keep the continent out of global power struggles entirely. Gerits discussess his views on the fascinating psychological dimension of decolonization, showing how Western powers promoted "modernization" programs designed to psychologically transform Africans, while leaders like Nkrumah and intellectuals like Frantz Fanon fought to reclaim African cultural identity. The louder Africans demanded independence, the more Western powers interpreted this as evidence they needed more assistance—a dynamic that continues today. Be sure to explore our library of past podcast episodes, which include more than a dozen recent books on Africa.

In this epic episode of The Courtenay Turner Podcast, Courtenay welcomes first-time guest Van Harvey, the legendary mind behind Blogodidact. Renowned for his incisive explorations into education, philosophy, and history, Harvey brings rare depth to a conversation that challenges listeners to rethink the very foundations of Western thought. A Journey Through Realism, Nominalism, and Ideology Together, Courtenay and Van embark on a sweeping journey through the pivotal moments that have shaped Western civilization. They dive deep into the enduring debate between Realism and Nominalism and explore how these philosophical perspectives have profoundly influenced education and the rise of ideology. Drawing from Van's latest article, "Why 1st Principles? Narratives That Capture the Mind", the discussion uncovers how the shift from Classical Liberal values to modern ideological systems has transformed not only our schools, but our entire cultural and political landscape. From Founders to the “Wizard's Circle” Listeners are guided through the underappreciated consequences of this intellectual pivot: the replacement of philosophy with ideology and economics, the rise of credentialism over true knowledge, and the emergence of top-down systems of control that still dominate education and politics today. Harvey's analysis traces the roots of contemporary confusion-across the political spectrum-back to the 19th-century introduction of ideology, championed by figures like Thomas Jefferson and Destutt de Tracy. Why This Episode Matters If you're passionate about education, philosophy, history, or the principles of Classical Liberalism, this episode is a must-listen. Harvey and Turner shed light on how philosophical shifts-from the ancient Greeks to the present-have shaped today's debates over truth, knowledge, and the purpose of education. Their conversation offers listeners new tools to question the narratives we're told-and the ones we tell ourselves. “Ideologies were invented so that men who do not think can give their opinions.” - Nicolás Gómez Dávila Key topics include: • The impact of Realism vs. Nominalism on education and philosophy • The origins and consequences of ideology in Western history • The decline of Classical Liberal principles in modern education • How philosophical shifts have shaped today's political and cultural narratives Tune in now to explore the hidden history of education, philosophy, and ideology with Van Harvey and Courtenay Turner! ▶ Follow & Connect with Van Harvey: Website Twitter 'First Questions; First Principles' __________________________________________________________________ ▶ GET On-Demand Access for Courtenay's Cognitive Liberty Conference Cognitive liberty Conference ----------------------------------------- ▶ Follow & Connect with Courtenay: CourtenayTurner.com Linktree ▶ Support my work & Affiliate links: Buy Me A Coffee GiveSendGo Venmo Cash APP RNC Store Vitamin B-17!

  Today on Unsupervised Learning Razib talks to Zineb Riboua, a research fellow and program manager of Hudson Institute's Center for Peace and Security in the Middle East. She specializes in Chinese and Russian involvement in the Middle East, the Sahel, and North Africa, great power competition in the region, and Israeli-Arab relations. Riboua's pieces and commentary have appeared in the Wall Street Journal, Foreign Policy, the National Interest, the Jerusalem Post and Tablet among other outlets. She holds a master's of public policy from the McCourt School of Public Policy at Georgetown University. She did her undergraduate studies in France, where she attended French preparatory classes and HEC Paris' Grande Ecole program. Her Substack is Beyond the Ideological. Razib and Riboua discuss the Trump administration's theory of tariffs as a tool of foreign policy and his attitudes toward multilateral diplomacy. They explore whether any principle beyond power and dominance underlies the current administration's approach, and consider the role of principles and values in foreign policy. Riboua elaborates a realist perspective in line with the thinking of Henry Kissinger. States have interests and abilities to execute on those interests; idealism is secondary. Riboua also discusses the fact that Trump seems attuned to how foreign politicians relate to the American domestic scene. He seems willing to punish those abroad whom he perceives to be favorable to his political enemies and reward those who are personally favorable toward him. Razib then asks Riboua about the geopolitics of her native Morocco, a relatively stable monarchy on northwest Africa's edge that has promoted moderate Islam, a good relationship with Europe and maintained a stable democracy.
