Didactic Mind, Ep 72: Rabbits and Wolves

This week's podcast is all about r/K selection theory and its ramifications for politics, social trust, and national development. I provide a brief overview of the theory, explain its application to politics through the lens of Anonymous Conservative's superb book, and provide an analysis of the current crises wracking the Western and Asian worlds through the heuristic application of the theory.

Didactic Mind, Ep 71:Inconvenient Truths

This week's episode is all about things that we wish were not true, but are. I examine the basic realities of irreducible differences between and among groups. I also talk about some of the historical inaccuracies that we have had to deal with for decades, such as who was really responsible for enslaving millions of people, and why the conquistadores really behaved so horribly in Mesoamerica. And I close with the biggest inconvenient truth of them all - that Jesus is Lord, and that He really did die for our sins.

Domain Query: Rhetorical Kill Shots

I am finally back with another episode in the Domain Query series. This one addresses an interesting question from LRFotS Randale6, who asks:
Could you do a podcast (or perhaps two, one for each form) on verbal and written rhetoric. While there are many books (often freely available as PDFs) I got the sneaky suspicion that it will take more then reading them to turn theory into (effective) practice.
I'm happy to oblige with any insights that I can provide. In this podcast, I illustrate five (more or less) principles of highly effective rhetoric, that apply in both verbal and written form:
The most effective rhetoric is always couched in truth.
Brevity is the heart of good rhetoric.
Highly effective rhetoric always attacks what a person does not want to be identified with, OR paints him as something that he is not to begin with.
Good rhetoric must always respect and be tailored toward the hierarchy in which someone operates.
Always respond to rhetoric with rhetoric.
That should keep our friend busy for a while. Let me know if you guys would like any follow-ups on this subject, as it is quite a broad and fascinating one.

Didactic Mind, Ep 70: Requiem on a Joint Strike Flying Piano

This week's episode is all about the F-35 Joint Strike Flopter and the epic debacle that it represents. Well, that's only partly true - it is actually all about the legendary USAF Col. John Boyd, the man behind the Fighter Mafia and the force of nature who transformed the very Art of War in the modern age. In today's podcast, I talk about:
The longevity of stupid and terrible ideas;
The idiocies of managerial types who come up with cockamamie "solutions" to problems that they then prolong;
The need for simplicity and effectiveness in weapons design;
Why the US military never learns from its mistakes;
Why the USA will lose its next real shooting war against a serious opponent;
The true principles of effective fighter design;
The reasons why the F-35 would never have worked anyway;
... and much, much, MUCH more.
Here is the article that inspired this week's podcast from David Axe over at Forbes, and here is a follow-up article at RT about the same issue that laments the sheer waste and ineptitude involved in spending $1.7 TRILLION on an aircraft that "can't climb, can't turn, can't run".
The Turducken Plane has indeed lived up to its name, and we will all pay the price for American military stupidity as a result.

Didactic Mind, Ep 69: Cancelling Cancel Culture

In this week's episode, I explore the fallout from Gina Carano's cancellation by the Twatter mob and Disney, and offer up some thoughts about lessons that we can all learn from the process. I tell you how you can learn to stand firm in the face of madness, and how you can even profit off of the corporate greed and stupidity that drove the decision to fire Ms Carano in the first place. And I explain the importance of keeping your composure, building your own platforms, and seeking out your freedom, in order to minimise the damage that the Blue Checkmark Brigade can do to you in the process.

Didactic Mind, Ep 68: V-Day

This week's episode concerns every man's LEAST favourite fake holiday - Valentine's Day. I go over some current events and news, then segue into the times that we live in and the ways in which men and women have failed to live up to our assigned roles in life. I talk about some causes and symptoms, and offer whatever concrete solutions that I can to the young men of today who are utterly confused as to how to deal with the modren world.
Bottom line is, if you want to know how to get yourself a girlfriend or a wife that actually likes and respects you, this is a decent, though not complete, place to start.

Didactic Mind, Ep 67: The Robots of Dawn

This week's episode is all about robots! Specifically, it is about how artificial pleasure robots - or sex robots, if you prefer - will affect human demographics, culture, and development. The podcast was inspired by one of the latest books from the vividly imaginative writer, Gary L. M. Martin, whose work I have favourably reviewed in the past. I go over a number of different topics that are of interest and related to the main subject, including:
What sex robots will do to male-female power dynamics;
How they will catastrophically impact human demographics;
The appeal of such artificial pleasures to humans who want perfection but have to deal with imperfection;
... and much, much more.

Didactic Mind, Ep 66: The Will to Act

In this week's episode, I discuss four ideas that will help us as men to find the will and the strength to move through life even as we face strife and challenges. Those four ideas are:
The will to act - simply put, the willingness and the ability to take action even when we are afraid of the outcomes;
Understanding the difference between risk and uncertainty - the two concepts are NOT the same and one must understand clearly the difference between the two in order to prosper under certain regimes;
Taking Extreme Ownership of yourself and your actions - don't ever hide or cower behind anyone or anything to avoid responsibility for your actions, but own them and their consequences;
Iron Sharpens Iron - seek out and treasure those men who will tell you, without fear or favour, exactly when and where you are screwing up, and never ever disregard or discount their advice, for they can be trusted while others cannot;
Follow the steps outlined in this podcast, and you will quickly find that your idleness and laziness will disappear. They will be replaced by achievement and momentum, which is what you need in order to get anything done in this world that hates you.

Didactic Mind, Ep 65: The Fate of Empires

In this week's podcast, I talk about the current, parlous, state of affairs in American politics. The installation of the Fake President and the San FranciscHo has created a moral vacuum and a severely destabilising political crisis. This is the classic symptom of a late-stage empire accelerating toward its final and terrible collapse. I talk about the reasons why are observing the complete disintegration of trust and faith in American elites, and the ways in which the collapse will come about. I also discuss a few other topics in the process, such as the ways in which American foreign policy have come back to haunt it, the fact that the American military is a complete paper tiger, and the reality that Russia is far better positioned to deal with future political and economic challenges than America is.
Oh, and I let fly at the never-to-be-sufficiently-cursed whorenalists and presstitutes too, along with the Daemoncrats and Republicucks. After all, I believe in offending everyone in equal measure.

Didactic Mind, Ep 64: The Hand of Mammon

In this week's podcast, I discuss the financialisation of markets and the extremely detrimental effects that this has had upon the real, productive economy. I go over some of the academic reasons offered up for the "crowding out" of the productive sectors of the economy by the financial sector, and the dangers that this poses based on historical evidence. Then I discuss the reason why we see this happening through the lens of Austrian Business Cycle Theory and show how central banks have lowered interest rates to the point where it actually makes complete sense for companies to jack up their share prices artificially. Finally, I talk about the ways in which this madness will end - i.e. very, very badly.
