Selfishness and the New Covenant
Dwight and I hit upon an original idea. We start out talking about selfishness. What is it? Simply stated, selfishness is what causes suffering in the world. Then we talk about the New Covenant. In Christian theology this is the new era Christ came to usher in. What if we view this New Covenant as an evolution is human consciousness? Think of it beyond theology--what could that mean? Perhaps it is a new stage of human psychological development where people stop judging others and start to accept and love each other. Wow!

Futurism (divorcing ourselves from the current system)
The subject is "futurism" and what we end up talking about is not a movement in art, music, and literature that began in the early 20th century, rather we discuss how to divorce ourselves from the current system of false authority. Banking and education are discussed as is our "need" for war and manufacturing of enemies. Enough of this mess, this corrupt system does not make sense any more and it is time for a new matrix. As new technologies like Bitcoin and HyperGraph are only now coming on-line and we will see the whole system flip over as we reach the tipping point. The old system will become obsolete, but what will the new system look like? That is the question.

This Absurd Life (the Myth of Sisyphus)
In the Myth of Sisyphus, the hero has to push a rock up a mountain; upon reaching the top, the rock would roll down again, leaving Sisyphus to start over. Sisyphus is a symbol of mankind as a whole and Sisyphus' punishment symbolizes what we do every single day during our lives and how absurd it can seem. We talk about the dark-side of the Christian faith, namely what is like to be in a high-demand religious group or even just to pastor a church when it becomes all about duty and obligation. Here we confess our struggle with a belief in God on the one hand and a rejection of organized religion on the other as we struggle to find meaning in it all.

Bitcoin: The Separation of Bank and State
The separation of church and State was a good idea... now it is time to think about the separation of bank and State. It is an idea who's time has come. Buckminster Fuller once said, “You never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete.” This is exactly what Satoshi Nakamoto has done! Calling Bitcoin a "disruptive technology" is an understatement. Money unmoored from any central authority is the new model. As the old money system that political structures depend on becomes obsolete so will the political structures themselves. zz4idz22

Black Mirror: Fifteen Million Merits - Entertainment Above All
The populace of ‘Fifteen Million Merits’ are controlled because they want to be controlled. We all secretly crave fascism, but don’t like it being called that. The most efficient forms of managing us are ones that we have accepted, or demanded. And what our society seems to demand most is not truth or justice, but rather entertainment.

Populism, Profanity, and Hacking Democracy
What is populism? The DimWits get political. Yes, we are going to talk about Trump. That's subject we have avoided (but could avoid no longer). In the course of conservation we also talk about profanity and how it can actually be a healthy thing in moderation. Has Trump made America great again, or just made profanity more fashionable? Maybe it a little of both... but get ready for the next election to hacked as we enter Info War 2.0.

Customer Reviews
Love this podcast!!
If I lived in Siloam, I would be there every week. There needs to be so much talk about bridging the gap between us and them. We ARE them. And being them is okay. Statistically, LGBTQ have one of the largest number of domestic violence incidents and death by a partner and Transgender suicide rates are extremely high. It’s time we stopped making fun of gay people in the front offices of mental health clinics and start doing the work that it takes to practice inclusion. Not everyone’s choice has to be mine but I can still show respect. By the way, my son is gay and I am super proud of him. I worked for a mental health clinic in SS where I had to pretend that wasn’t the case because my clinical director, secretary, and supervisor thought it was okay to talk loudly about the disgusting behavior of gays and transgenders in the front office on a weekly basis. Leaving was my best option. Filing a lawsuit is something I still consider. We need to stand up. If you have an opinion, you have it. You don’t have it inside an office where you assume everyone feels the way you do.
