    EP#243 | The Gays of Hormuz, Iran, China, Belt and Road

    In Episode 243, BJ covers a wide spread of stories shaping politics, culture, technology, and geopolitics. He opens with reaction to Quebec banning Islamic street prayers, comments on a shooting in Toronto’s Bathurst and Wilson area, and reflects on gun control, public safety, and media framing in Canada. From there, the conversation shifts to Artemis 2 and whether a new lunar mission will finally put moon landing conspiracies to rest, or simply trigger a new layer of denial. BJ unpacks how people respond when their worldview is challenged, why framing matters, and why most people do not easily admit they were wrong. The episode also explores Tesla’s self-driving future, CyberCab, Full Self-Driving insurance discounts, and the long-term trajectory toward autonomous vehicles replacing human drivers in cities. BJ argues this is not just about cars, but about incentives, behavioural engineering, risk perception, and how systems thinking shapes the future. Later, the show moves into Cuba, ideological contradictions on the modern left, Bruce Springsteen’s politics and lyrics, Trump’s rhetorical style, and the broader cultural war over language, identity, persuasion, and public discourse.
