Today I am joined by Andrew Jones of Diversenomics. His startup company focuses on consultation and coaching for businesses to adopt diversity and inclusion within their organization. His approach is to focus on the economical aspects that surround the concepts of diversity and inclusion. In this interview I ask what diversity means to him, how he aligns or differs with the dictionary definitions, and how he applies it in business. We discuss a wide range of implications while exploring the capabilities that businesses may experience by bringing a more diverse and inclusive culture into organizations.

In several defenses against the use of debate I have heard the claim that there are alternative forms of learning that debate doesn't solve. This is true. However, which is moore suitable to which topic. Is debate useful for discussions on evolution? Is lectures and testing approrpriate for philosophy? Which is best suited and is this more an argument against the weak points of ones own philosophy? Multiple subject have been solidified to the point that they are indeed not up for debate. Mathematics is an easy and observable truth which shouldn't be debated because 2 + 2 will never equal 5. Biology has it's own undeniable truths. But in the futile attempt to get your own beliefs recognized some people attempt to say it is up for debate. This is where ideas rise or fall.

When people say Marxist, the images of the Orwell novel 1984 come to mind. But how does the marxist ideology affect us today? The reality is that Marxism today isn't about the have versus the have not's. It's now all about us versus them. It has co-oped and molded itself into our social sciences. It has infultrated all that we stand to learn about ourselves. It has changed the very nature of academia with a messed up version of self-destructive power dynamics. In this episode I discuss the very nature of marxism. I introduce the concepts as it was written by Marx and the Frankfurt schools. I address how these concepts have decided to take over our sociology and psychology departments. They've even created their own departments with funded "research" which is disturbing on its own.

Comedy has moved to one off pieces of quick fix laughter. It's a collection of correlations where if one person does it, and it catches on, everyone does it. There's plenty of memes and people who use them. But what is meme culture really and how does it work? Is it the comedy of the future? This episode I wanted to start off with something a bit lighter. We've had a rough couple of years and kicking things off with comedy seems the right way to start 2018. For those that don't have a clue, we'll be discussing meme's, how they work, what they achieve or acomplish, how those that don't like being made fun of label a meme in a darker light, and more. It's been said that comedy centers around being able to laugh at the reality around us. So how has the internet affected comic quick fix delivery?

In this podcast I'll probably offend a few people and irritate others. I'm going to be discussing the effects of depression. Depression is a mental affliction that is caused by a weakness of will. It's considered as a mental disorder in psychology for very good reason. Depression can end your life by your own hand. However, I don't considering in the same category as schizophrenia, bi-polar, or any number of mental issues that people seem to not be able to recover from. Depression has a trigger.    In this episode I'll be going over some of what we know about depression and go over my personal experience as well. It's quite possible that I'll have a box of tissues ready for this episode because once you have experienced depression it stays with you and you never want to look back.   Reference https://www.psychologytoday.com/conditions/depressive-disorders  https://www.nimh.nih.gov/health/topics/depression/index.shtml

This week we have a special guest coming to The Axiom Principle. @SkepticNikki will be joining us to discuss what she’s been up to for the past year. She has a new effort to fight against religious thinking. We will be discussing what she’s been up to for the last year, the project she worked on, and what her plans are for the future. Beyond that, we'll let the conversation go wherever the conversation takes us. Join us this week as we interview @SkepticNikki.

The mission and vision of The Axiom Principle is to stop ignorance in every field and in every space. The modern world has no more room for ignorant thoughts, ignorant ideals, or ignorant people. We have at our disposal the means to wipe out our entire planet in a flash of light or in a slow decrepid death. It seems a daunting task but how does one fight against ignorance? What tools are available? What can be done to stop ignorance from flourishing and infecting our systems of education?

Social justice can be defined as a state or doctrine of egalitarianism. Another definition is the distribution of advantages and disadvantages within a society. Oxford dictionary defines social justice as Justice in terms of the distribution of wealth, opportunities, and privileges within a society. But with these definitions, what does that mean? What approach to social justice actually is beneficial to societies as a whole and humanity as a species? In this podcast I analyse the terms and attempt correlate them with the actions of those who champion social justice. The term itself has a stigma from the actions of the champions. To know a thing we must know it's attributes. We walk through the actions of those that champion social justice and why they see it as an ultimate good.

How can you assault an idea? I think there might be a way where people percieve that an idea that they find valuable is attacked thus is attacking them. However, since when are ideas able to have feelings? The very concept is similar to the way every religion has controlled society for thousands of years. The religion is above cricitism because the value people put into the religion. If their values are challenged the individual translates this into a personal attack which makes it seem as though you can attack the idea. In this episode I join forces with The Free Thought Prophet ( https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-PMh5W4ET93mftGyx0F8Zw ) to discuss the idea that some thoughts or ideas might be sacred and thus difficult to question.
