Ep. 36 UNIVERSAL ACTIVISM!
December 06, 2020 20:58 - 31 minutes - 27 MBDon't be the idiot who assumes that just because somebody hasn't said, spent money on, or published materials on your cause that that means they disagree with you. And even if they don't agree with you, that just gives you one more person to understand and maybe try to persuade. Here is the book I referenced. (Amazon link HERE) I haven't read or listened to it yet so cannot vouch for its awesomeness. It's called "How to Have Impossible Conversations: A Very Practical Guide Paperback – b...
Ep. 35 - Filtering Out the Trash

Ep 34 The Price of Progress
December 06, 2020 20:57 - 19 minutes - 17.8 MBI am aware that I pronounced the word 'progressing' wrong. Shit happens. I also understand that any libertarians listening to this podcast would be screaming "the market the market" when I described a machine that would determine the price of a thing. Yeah, I'm aware. Thought experiments yo. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/400thoughts/message
Ep. 33 Rock Meet Hard Place (Work VS. Safety)
December 06, 2020 20:57 - 27 minutes - 25 MBThis felt like a rant more than an idea and that's probably what this was. Sunny the robot isn't here yet and until then, if you don't make the bread you don't get any bread (unless the gov is going to give everyone their full salary). --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/400thoughts/message

Ep. 31: More Better?
November 13, 2020 02:42 - 19 minutes - 17.9 MBFairly weird ramble. The question is, given your present state and a desired endstate, how much of 'X' will you need to get to said endstate? ON STERIODS! --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/400thoughts/message

Ep. 29 You're Raising Your Kids the Wrong Way
October 23, 2020 02:26 - 21 minutes - 19.8 MBNot the most helpful podcast but I don't really think trying to change another person's parenting is overly helpful either. Cheers. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/400thoughts/message
Ep. 28 Tolerance... not a Verb
October 20, 2020 04:03 - 26 minutes - 24.4 MBYou can accept or deny. In most things, it's hard to find what tolerance is. WHAT IS TOLERANCE! Is it larger than a toaster? Hear me nail pronouncing the word 'fascistically' but have a stroke in the middle of the word 'perpetuity' (good times).

Ep. 27 Helping the Helpers
October 15, 2020 19:05 - 39 minutes - 36.2 MBThe episode is fairly straight forward. How can we support people with very important jobs? I have a few ideas.

Ep. 26 What Are We Going to Tell the Kids
October 13, 2020 18:02 - 20 minutes - 19.1 MBI'm sure you've all asked this question to yourself before. If not, time to get busy and make yourself a human.

May 17, 2020 04:44 - 11 minutes - 11.1 MBSo this whole virus sucks. But will this be something to look back at and remember as a major life event? Will this be what I call 'a rep'?

Ep. 19: Whose Idea was this again?
January 17, 2020 02:40 - 42 minutes - 20 MBStarting the new format of the episode with #19. Even # episodes will be edited while odd# episodes will be straight off the cuff, fire and forget. So how the mic didn’t crackle cuz I ain’t listening before publishing. Anyways..... this episode is about how I don’t really care about Intellectual property. If a thing can be created that I feel it’s not really created in most cases but merely discovered and so would shouldn’t prevent people from copying your ideas. Unless it’s stand up comedy, ...
Ep. 18: Appreciate ya
January 14, 2020 04:43 - 28 minutes - 28.1 MBIt's fun to be able to really "get" something. In this episode, I ramble on about 3 ways you can view understanding any topic. 1) Once you get a taste of something new, you want more 2) Allows you to empathize with people that might not know or appreciate something as much as you 3) It gives you the opportunity to teach somebody about a topic that you have more understanding of --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/400thoughts/message

Notes: 375 million people in America... way off on that number. But whatever, I was just spit balling y'all. Google says we are closer to 327 million.

Ep. 4: Problems, Promises and Prison
July 12, 2019 13:57 - 24 minutes - 22.8 MBPoliticians over promise on many things, nothing new there. Recently, I've heard a few candidates for the presidency have said they plan on reducing the prison population by 50% or more. Fun fact that I looked up just for you: There are currently between 2-2.5 million people currently in federal and state prisons and jails. Is that number too high? What should the number be? 0? If these politicians free 1 million, who will they be? I tried to find hard numbers on violent vs. non-viole...
