Note: Sorry for the late episode this week! Being a reality denier sounds easy on paper but in practice it comes with a lot of red tape. Expect episodes to be a day or two late for the next couple weeks. As our transition to fully acquiring the Friends Against Government properties comes to a close and merged realities begin to settle, we decide to bring on one of the funniest liberty Twitter guys around, [name redacted], to see if he has what it takes to be the Kyle that any multi-dimensional podcast needs. We're all pretty exhausted from navigating a world of conflicting podcast realities, so we were hoping that the Kyle replacement this week could carry the episode like he usually does, but it turns out that [name redacted], while hilarious and fun-loving, needs to warm up to people before opening up to them and trusting them - so like a baby deer being coaxed into your trust with a handful of poisonous berries, we slowly but surely enticed him into joking with us with a handful of malicious doxxing blackmail threats. Which unfortunately also means that we were asked to not mention his name in the show notes. So if you want to know who the guest is, you're gonna have to bear through the episode like we did.

Note: Sorry for the delay in the mid-week edition. Life intervenedThis newsletter is really a public policy thought-letter. While excellent newsletters on specific themes within public policy already exist, this thought-letter is about frameworks, mental models, and key ideas that will hopefully help you think about any public policy problem in imaginative ways. It seeks to answer just one question: how do I think about a particular public policy problem/solution?Welcome to the mid-week edition in which we write essays on a public policy theme. The usual public policy review comes out on weekends.PS: If you enjoy listening instead of reading, we have this edition available as an audio narration on all podcasting platforms courtesy the good folks at Ad-Auris. If you have any feedback, please send it to us.- RSJReaders are sending in all sorts of questions. So, our parampujya guru of economic and political reasoning, Prof. Arthananda Ilyich Smith-Hayek (AISH), is back. Prof AISH is a home-grown economist without a single videshi bone or cartilage in him. He is a veritable sangam of three key economic streams – Neoclassical, Marxist and Austrian – whose advice can be safely consumed in these low trust times. Over to the burning question.Dear Prof,The CEO of Niti Aayog yesterday complained we have too much democracy in India. He later claimed he was misquoted. That, of course, dispelled any remaining doubt among us that he had indeed made that statement. All hell broke loose. Memes appeared, Immanuel Kant was quoted, and Twitter had a field day with the usual leftist malcontents suggesting fascism is nigh. I don’t understand this. All my life living in India I have felt we have too much democracy. Nothing moves in India because everyone has a say. You can’t get anything worthwhile done because no one is willing to pay any price. We elect goons and criminals because every fool has a vote. Anything that’s good for the majority can be hijacked by a minority that’s vocal and organised. We have all seen this. How can we outrage over the ‘too much democracy’ comment when we know it is true? What do you have to say? I hope you are wise enough to know what’s good for us.Yours etc,Prajatantra MallikProf AISH:Dear Prajatantra,Thank you for writing in. There’s always a complaint of too much democracy when you are thwarted by the people. Never when you win elections by the slenderest of margins but earn the right to govern with full powers of the executive. That’s how things roll.Anyway, there are three parts to my answer. The first part will clarify a few things about democracy and the state. The second part will be on the critique of democracy over the years. And at the end, I will talk about how despite everything blaming too much of democracy in the Indian context is meaningless.Democracy, Republic, and The StateTo start with democracy is a form of government - nothing more. There is an element of religious passion towards it by its adherents. This is particularly true in America and, possibly, stems from Walt Whitman, the poet of Democracy. Whitman elevated democracy to a mystical phenomenon. His poem For You O Democracy (from Leaves of Grass, 1892) is a hymn to it:“I will plant companionship thick as trees along all the rivers of America, and along the shores of the great lakes, and all over the prairies,I will make inseparable cities with their arms about each other’s necks,                   By the love of comrades,                    By the manly love of comrades.For you these from me, O Democracy, to serve you ma femme!For you, for you I am trilling these songs.”It is difficult to top that. Democracy is an end to itself and it must be valued with passion. Whitman’s spirit pervades the US polity till date. The American exceptionalism over the last century has made democracy more than a mere form of government. It has come to be seen as an ideal for society. India too adopted not just a form of government following independence, but this belief about the virtues of democracy beyond it. This is one part of the problem.But let’s start with its definition itself. Democracy may not even be an ideal form to choose who will govern the state. But like Churchill (never) said it is the worst form of government except for all the others. Broadly, it means everyone has a share of the government and the majority view prevails. This is understood to recognise every citizen has an equal opportunity in creating the legislature that will govern them. The state that has the monopoly of legitimate violence over its citizens has multiple arms to conduct its affairs. Not every arm of it is democratic in nature like the legislature. We don’t elect our judges or our bureaucrats through popular mandate. In most cases, the process is designed to find the most qualified or the most appropriate person for the role instead of the most popular. Through an elaborate mechanism of checks and balances, these non-democratic institutions are subject to the will of the people. There are hardly any pure democratic institutions in any democracy.  Even the will of the people to determine the legislature isn’t democracy in its purest form. Most modern democracies are representative in their form. This is a recognition that the rule can never be directly of all people but of ‘typical members’ who represent them. It tacitly acknowledges those who represent the people are better suited than others to ‘rule’. In that sense, every democracy still retains an element of aristocracy or the rule of the elite. It is important to remember here, this representative form of government while being partly elitist still can’t be replicated in other spheres of the society. No firm or enterprise can run on democratic principles. Nor can any team, guild or community. We shouldn’t seek more democracy in society; probably striving for more inclusiveness and openness makes more sense. Instead, we should be striving for a better republic that strengthens the process of choosing the best representatives among the people who then wield the power of the state and use it to enhance the welfare of individuals.Criticising DemocracyThere hasn’t been any shortage of criticism of democracy over the ages. And we aren’t including tyrants, despots, and dictators in this list. This is led by Plato and Aristotle who it could be argued lived in a society that was democratic (slavery notwithstanding). They viewed democracy as good in theory but difficult to put in practice. Aristotle clubbed democracy as a deviant constitutional form clubbing it with tyranny and oligarchy. To him, the ultimate end of a state was neither to maximize wealth as oligarchs would believe, nor was it to promote liberty and equality in every public sphere as the democrats aspire. Instead, he argued, it was ‘good life’ that’s the true end of the state. That requires a ‘middle constitution’ or a ‘mixed government’ of a numerous middle class that chooses a wise few to govern. If one were to be kind to Aristotle, the mixed constitution he bats for is the precursor to the modern Republic.Following the French and American revolutions in the late 18th century, the ideas of liberty and democracy were debated widely. Political philosophers from Ruskin, Carlyle to Tocqueville were troubled by the exaggerated deference to the will of the majority. In their view, there was a qualitative difference among people and the idea to treat all of them equal in their right to rule the state was terrible. The majority will be swayed by demagogues who will pander to their worst instincts and the minority that’s qualitatively better will lose the will to fight. James Bryce in ‘Hindrances To Good Citizenship’ laid out the arguments of this school in detail. In a chapter titled, The True Faults of Democracy, he pointed out four flaws:  “First, a certain commonness of mind and tone, a want of dignity and elevation in and about the conduct of public affairs, an insensibility to the nobler aspects and finer responsibilities of national life. Secondly, a certain apathy among the luxurious classes and fastidious minds, who find themselves of no more specific account than the ordinary voter, and are disgusted by the superficial vulgarities of public life. Thirdly, a want of knowledge, tact, and judgment in the details of legislation, as well as in administration, with an inadequate recognition of the difficulty of these kinds of work, and of the worth of special experience and skill in dealing with them. Because it is incompetent, the multitude will not feel its incompetence, and will not seek or defer to the counsels of those who possess the requisite capacity. Fourthly; laxity in the management of public business. The persons entrusted with such business being only average men, thinking themselves and thought of by others as average men, and not rising to a due sense of their responsibilities, may succumb to the temptations which the control of legislation and the public funds present, in cases where persons of a more enlarged view and with more of a social reputation to support would remain incorruptible. To repress such derelictions of duty is every citizen's duty, but for that reason it is in large communities apt to be neglected. Thus the very causes which implant the mischief favour its growth.”Fairly prescient there. The criticism of democracy remained muted through much of the great wars of 20th century and the cold war. However, the last 20 years have seen a revival of sorts. The question has been on new democracies that have sprung up without a fierce adherence to the notion of individual liberties. The earliest work on this was by Fareed Zakaria who in a piece titled The Rise of Illiberal Democracy (Foreign Affairs, Nov 1997) wrote about the perils of democracy without the concomitant pursuit of liberalism. In an interview in 2017, Zakaria updates his warning about democracy: “The happy narrative we told ourselves was that there was an almost ineluctable path to liberal democracy, and the evidence suggests that this is not how it works. Liberal democracy seems to be one of the many exits on which the democratic experiment could end, but there are others, like illiberal democracy, that are equally likely.It appears this is what's happening in Turkey right now and in parts of Central Europe and in Russia. It's important to remember that despite all the repression, Putin is very popular. What we're learning is that authoritarian politicians have figured out how to achieve a balance between liberalism and illiberalism that keeps people satisfied. If they can give enough bread and circus to the public, they can maintain a stable working majority buttressed by a certain degree of repression of the press and political opposition.And we have to reckon with the possibility that this model might become the most stable alternative to liberal democracy.”  The Indian CaseAll of the above is not to suggest there’s a reason to applaud the lament of ‘too much democracy’ that springs among elite Indians. The reasons that have stymied India don’t have much to do with the perceived flaws of democracy. Like we have pointed out earlier, it has more to do with an overextended state that’s weak. Instead of being good in a few things, the state has chosen to be bad in a lot of things. The Niti Aayog and its earlier avatar, the Planning Commission, are great examples of this overreach. The check against ‘too much democracy’ is to become a better republic and to fix the ‘flailing state’.  HomeWorkReading and listening recommendations on public policy matters[Book] Bryce on American Democracy Selections from "The American Commonwealth" And "The Hindrances to Good Citizenship" and edited by Maurice Fulton.[Article] Caleb Crain in the New Yorker book review on The Case Against Democracy Get on the email list at publicpolicy.substack.com

NOTE: Sorry about the audio issues during the intro I had the wrong microphone selected for the first 90 seconds. #stillarookieAnneliese Walker is one of the driving forces behind Walker Farms near the Twin Cities in Minnesota. They are direct marketing a host of proteins. As such Anneliese is uniquely qualified to discuss and lead others toward a more holistic approach to developing a better relationship with the end consumers of their products. To accomplish that goal she has set out to produce a new course aimed at helping people take an ecosystems approach to direct to consumer marketing.

In which Cole and Gabe stan Hermine, hate Dave, and can’t seem to remember who was president for most of the 80’s. Note: Sorry about the iffy audio quality these first few episodes! We should have our stuff figured out by next episode!

Note: Sorry for not uploading last week. The thing is, there was no episode to upload. The recording didn't work. But here's this week's episode: Full Episode 11-2-20 - Amanda talks about Philadelphia police and each thing we learn just gets worse and worse. Also, feelings about the elections.

Note: Sorry there is static during the first 2 and a half minutes. It clears up after that I was holding an object near the mic and I think it interfered. Real. Reality. Truth. That is what we need if we are going to live effectively under the pressure of our times and if we are going to be successful at a Gentle Gospel Ministry. If you want to experience real faith: build your faith on a foundation of truth and then put that truth into action.

Naomi Higgins of the Batch Bitch Podcast joins Ben and Hing to talk about swords, screaming and horny circus people. NOTE: Sorry, Ben's mic is a little HOT in this ep, we're using new software but we'll get it sorted eventually.  See omnystudio.com/policies/listener for privacy information.

This week we dive deep in to a listener's ghosty encounter that shakes us to our core. We get live updates while recording as the story continues to unfold. We do our best to advise the family but we want to get your feedback too! Listen in and comment on our Instagram or email us at podcast@ghostygirls.com

Gigi and Naomi are together working on the British Women's Progress Tour in London... they chat through how the tournament has gone with the new restrictions in place, the pros and cons of the US College route, and how buttock clenching increases your blood flow... Note: Sorry for the sound quality, we will get it sorted for next week! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Note: Sorry we didn't release audio for our 3 Kings tribute on episode 106. We had technical difficulties the whole episode and were unable to salvage the audio, despite our best efforts. That may be the first time we were unable to polish the turd and release it. As a second note, this episode was originally aired on Monday June 1st. We delayed release in observance of the media blackout during which we focussed our attention on sharing protest and Black Lives Matter related content. Therefore, there may be moments in the episode that sound behind the media cycle. Events and the surrounding conversation move so rapidly in a matter of days and it can be tough to produce up-to-the-moment commentary. Just something to keep in mind when listening to the episode. Greetings MFCKRS!                   Welcome to Episode #107 of The MF Podcast!  Jonathan Snyder is the chief songwriter, guitar player and vocalist for The Lollygags.

In this episode, we share a lively discussion about the "classic" board games we all grew up with. By "classic" we mean "you could buy these at a big box toy store in the 1990s" kind of board games. These are the games that you probably played a lot with your families before moving on to the geekier and more complicated nerd-games that are all the rage today. We close out with a talk about some of the various "gateway games" that you use to help bridge the gap, or even to replace the classics at the next family gatherings.This is our first ever live stream episode as well! We decided to give it a stream on Twitch about 10 minutes before we actually started, so the stream was a bit rushed, but we all had a lot of fun with is, and we're planning to keep doing it going forward.

Hey everyone!! Welcome back to another episode of Anime Max Podcast!! Listen to me (Steven) and Jenn as we put our thoughts on the 12th episode of Kabukichou Sherlock!! Note: Sorry for late delay on getting this to you. This was recorded on late March, but it was hard to juggle catching up on comic books (since new releases are on hiatus) and edit these podcasts. But I have figured out a schedule for myself and please look forward to the return of my comic book podcast very soon!! Besides that, I hope you guys enjoy the show!

Ever been called a "storm chaser?" It makes me furious. I'm going to show you how to take this insult (whether it's from a homeowner or even a competing roofing company)... and flip into a power move to position yourself as the leader in the industry to help you close more deals when selling hail damaged roofs. NOTE: Sorry about the intro - it got cut off due to internet issues, but good news is I jumped right into the story ;)

Note: Sorry about the audio quality. We have corrected the tech error since then, but as our listener's say, “it's what you say that's important”In this episode we talk about: what are spiritual seekers, The two types of spiritual seekers, Quick to seek, even quicker to move on, The entitlement that arises on the spiritual path, When the spiritual path gets difficult and painful, How to identify a true spiritual aspirant, Letting go of material attachments, When to give advice, Spiritual Entertainment vs. Spiritual Transformation, The lack of gratitude, Living in a state of gratitude, Beauty, self-care and taking care of your looks, what facilitates transformation and having gratitude for it, commitment and loyalty to spiritual work, commitment brings freedom.

The big releases are becoming scarce which means it's time to jump into the ever growing games backlog and finally whittle that sucker down. Arsene and Joseph talk about all the games they're looking forward to picking back up as we wait for the Fall releases to (hopefully drop). Note: Sorry about Joseph's poor audio quality he recorded through his laptop speaker instead of his mic speaker like a dumb dumb! (Joseph typed this description up btw).   Website http://playerplayerpod.com/ Twitter https://twitter.com/playerplayerpod Intro Music Provided by Aaron Miller https://www.instagram.com/themillerchild Joseph https://twitter.com/th3hoopman Arsene https://twitter.com/leekyleek13  

Note: Sorry for the delay. Due to site issues this episode posted on Soundcloud on Friday but not on any other podcast platform. Sorry for …

Note: Sorry if this episode feels a bit rushed and ends abruptly. Due to a schedule issue we were originally going to have to skip this week's episode, but were able to find a 30 minute window last minute to record. We figured a shorter/weird episode would be better than no episode. We should return to normal next week! This week we're talking about our building hype for Disney Plus, and the latest change to Galaxy's Edge's menus that have (not really) ruined it!  Want to support The TTA Podcast & look rad while doing it?
