I decided to record this episode while on a walk.  Not the cleanest recording, but I wanted to get out my predictions of how I think the U.S. presidential election will play out.  

It's the day before a much needed vacation, so please excuse my ranting on this episode.  My will is strong, but my discipline still needs some work!

On today's episode, I tell you more about my past and how I became who I am.  Then, more interestingly, I share some of my thoughts about QAnon.   If you like what you hear, please give me a 5 star review on iTunes and lets help each other spread the word even further!

I'm back after 11 years!  This podcast is just a brief reintroduction to who I am and where I'm coming from.  More to come soon!

Today's podcast is an assortment of articles I have collected over the past few months that I feel need to address.  I will be out of town for the next ten days, but I will return as soon as possible.

On today's podcast, I finish my report on Konrad Lorenz's book, Civilized Man's Eight Deadly Sins.  The last two sins are The Break with Tradition and Indoctrinability.  I hope you find something useful to ponder and share with like-minded people.

I had planned to finish my report on Civilized Man's Eight Deadly Sins by Konrad Lorenz, but I bit off a bit more than I could chew, so the last part will be coming next week.   The next two sins on Mr. Lorenz's list are Entropy of Feeling and Genetic Decay.  The author makes some very interesting assertions about these two "civilization" diseases that warrant our attention. I hope you find something useful in today's podcast.

I begin this second phase of my podcast with another book report.  I came across a book called Civilized Man's Eight Deadly Sins by Konrad Lorenz at a little bookstore in rural West Virginia.  Once I finally got around to reading it, I felt I should share the ideas in this book with you.  It is a short book, but very dense, so I decided to split it into two podcasts.  In this first part, I cover the first three sins according to Mr. Lorenz; Overpopulation, Devastation of the Environment and Man's Race Against Himself.  I explore what I think Mr. Lorenz gets right and what he misinterprets, in my opinion.  

This month, Rolling Stone magazine published an article entitled, "Global Warming's Terrifying New Math" by Bill McKibben. Considering that the majority of the U.S. has been in an extended heat wave this summer, I decided that I should talk about the weather a bit and while I'm at it, poke some holes in the global warming theory.  Everyone should really pay attention to the green agenda, before it begins to dominate all of our lives.

In part two of my talk about "Lies My Teacher Told Me", I explore the concept of heroification as it pertains to Christopher Columbus.  Our high school history textbooks whitewash the atrocities perpetrated by Columbus and those who followed by (once again) blaming the victims.  The Arawaks were to blame for their own demise.  They should have developed better weapons, I guess.  Columbus' actions in the West Indies set a precedent that affects us to this day.  We celebrate Thanksgiving by gorging on food and drink and praising the ingenuity of the Pilgrims, yet most do not know the truth behind the holiday.  If they did, I do not think they would have much of an appetite.  Then again, one has to be open to the truth in order to understand it.  Such critical thought is not allowed in the classroom.  Only blind obedience to authority, whether it be a teacher or the federal government.
