    Ep.63: Authenticity

    What makes something "authentic"? Is it its uniqueness, that which it resembles, or does it correspond to a particularly ideal subject? We as humans respond innately to authenticity. It informs our judgments and our actions. Join us as we discuss NFTs, news media, trophies, and film, in our exploration of authenticity. QUOTE: “Being powerful is like being a lady. If you have to tell people you are, you aren't.” ~ Margaret Thatcher #FrivolousGravitas Links: Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCb3cCrFqaHFBp2s7jgtJvFg FB: https://www.facebook.com/Frivolous-Gravitas-Podcast-109356198202987/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/FrivolousGravi1 RSS: https://krisdriver.com/feed/rssfeed.xml If you like this kind of content and want to see more, be sure to like, share and subscribe to help keep this channel going.

    Ep.62: The New Gods

    Jordan takes this episode to examine something that has been on his mind as of late. We have new gods and we are making new ones everyday through modern story-telling and the creation of legends. We discuss what makes a myth, how we tell them, and the impact they have on our lives. QUOTE: "After all, I believe that legends and myths are largely made of 'truth'." ~ J. R. R. Tolkien, The Letters of J. R. R.

    Ep.61: Public Good

    Today Kris makes a case for government sponsored programs. This is not a narrow topic as allocation of resources is always a complicated mess of interests. Universities, corporations, the media, the general public, and those finding themselves at the bottom, all take part. Join us for this debate as we discuss what might work to lift up the less fortunate in our society so that we may all benefit. QUOTE: “The 25% of Spaniards who are presently without work simply don’t (by Milton’s presumption) want to work at the prevailing wage and are on vacation.” - Mark Blyth, Austerity: The History of a Dangerous Idea #FrivolousGravitas Links: Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCb3cCrFqaHFBp2s7jgtJvFg FB: https://www.facebook.com/Frivolous-Gravitas-Podcast-109356198202987/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/FrivolousGravi1 RSS: https://krisdriver.com/feed/rssfeed.xml If you like this kind of content and want to see more, be sure to like, share and subscribe to help keep this channel going.

    Ep.60: Charity

    It is hard to argue that charity is anything but good, but it is not always evident that our offerings are indeed worthwhile. Many who donate don't give much thought beyond the act itself, but charity is not so simple. It can be seen as a gamble, a waste, or a necessity depending on the point of view. We hope you will join us as we look at what makes a good, and bad, act of charity. QUOTE: "Whoever closes his ear to the cry of the poor will himself call out and not be answered." - Proverbs 21:13 #FrivolousGravitas Links: Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCb3cCrFqaHFBp2s7jgtJvFg FB: https://www.facebook.com/Frivolous-Gravitas-Podcast-109356198202987/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/FrivolousGravi1 RSS: https://krisdriver.com/feed/rssfeed.xml If you like this kind of content and want to see more, be sure to like, share and subscribe to help keep this channel going.

    Ep.59: Rap / Hip-Hop

    Today Kris takes Jordan and the viewers on an exploration of hip hop. This genre of music is often seen as just music from 'the hood', but there is much more to it than that. A variety of flavours always improves the meal. Spending some time with rap will add a bit of novel flavour to your diet, and help you to see music in a new light. QUOTE: "Don't wanna make excuses cause this is how it is, what's the use? Unless we're shooting no one notices the youth." ~ Tupac Shakur, me against the world #FrivolousGravitas Links: Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCb3cCrFqaHFBp2s7jgtJvFg FB: https://www.facebook.com/Frivolous-Gravitas-Podcast-109356198202987/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/FrivolousGravi1 RSS: https://krisdriver.com/feed/rssfeed.xml If you like this kind of content and want to see more, be sure to like, share and subscribe to help keep this channel going.

    Ep.58: John Locke

    Today's episode looks at John Locke's The Second Treatise of Government, written in 1689. This is a foundational text written by the esteemed enlightenment philosopher, that attempts to lay out the principles of a yet unseen form of government. This piece underpins the structure of modern governments, making it a pertinent study concerning today's adaptations of his socio-political philosophies. QUOTE: “Being all equal and independent, no one ought to harm another in his life, health, liberty, or possessions.” ~ John Locke, 2nd Treatise of Government (2:6) #FrivolousGravitas Links: Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCb3cCrFqaHFBp2s7jgtJvFg FB: https://www.facebook.com/Frivolous-Gravitas-Podcast-109356198202987/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/FrivolousGravi1 RSS: https://krisdriver.com/feed/rssfeed.xml If you like this kind of content and want to see more, be sure to like, share and subscribe to help keep this channel going.

    Ep.57: Modern Media

    Back from hiatus we dive right into modern media. We have new tools to engage with each other and our world - complex and multifaceted ones which give our words a reach and power never before seen. We have the opportunity to use them to better ourselves and enrich the lives of humans everywhere or we can use them to live a pleasant fiction opting to ignore our mind's corruption... ironically, we are doing both. QUOTE: “If you hide your ignorance, no one will hit you and you'll never learn.” ~ Ray Bradbury, Fahrenheit 451 #FrivolousGravitas Links: Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCb3cCrFqaHFBp2s7jgtJvFg FB: https://www.facebook.com/Frivolous-Gravitas-Podcast-109356198202987/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/FrivolousGravi1 RSS: https://krisdriver.com/feed/rssfeed.xml If you like this kind of content and want to see more, be sure to like, share and subscribe to help keep this channel going.

    Ep.56: Carpe Diem (Seize the Day)

    How much time have you wasted, or experiences have you let pass you by? Today, Kris and Jordan talk about making every moment count. It's hard because it's not always evident what we should be doing. So we took some of our time to explore what it means to be an actor in life with a finite amount of time on the stage. QUOTE: "... medicine, law, business, engineering, these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life; but poetry, beauty, romance, love, these are what we stay alive for." ~ Robin Williams, in Dead Poets Society #FrivolousGravitas Links: Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCb3cCrFqaHFBp2s7jgtJvFg FB: https://www.facebook.com/Frivolous-Gravitas-Podcast-109356198202987/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/FrivolousGravi1 RSS: https://krisdriver.com/feed/rssfeed.xml If you like this kind of content and want to see more, be sure to like, share and subscribe to help keep this channel going.
