It's Not So Black & White (society, culture and politics)

Jonathan McLernon

Uncomfortable questions. Uncomfortable opinions. Uncomfortable conversations. Join us on a journey to understand why we think and feel the way we do. Censorship does not change hearts and minds, it only divides and fosters extremism. If we can hear and challenge ideas in a public forum, and get to know the human experience behind the ideas, perhaps this is where change might begin. Critical thinking and compassion for the human experience are getting lost. Let's try to restore this.

    Wisdom: Is it being lost? With Jason Merchey (Investor and Author)

    Jason A. Merchey is a philosophical thinker and independent scholar, as well as founder of Values of the Wise.com. Jason earned a bachelor’s in psychology and social behavior and went on to obtain a master’s degree in clinical psychology. He then obtained thousands of hours of experience counseling clients of all types. Jason also earned a graduate certificate in philosophy and ethics from Harvard University in 2018. Since 2004, via his blog, podcasting, and book publishing has been interested in what values and virtues "wise people" tend to be interested in, and how wisdom can play a fundamental role in both improving the lives of individuals (e.g., happiness, success, well-being, etc.) as well as on a societal level (e.g., less tribalism, more critical thinking, fewer extreme positions on religion, politics, and so on). Jason's fourth book (out in March of 2022) is entitled WISDOM: A VERY VALUABLE VIRTUE THAT CANNOT BE BOUGHT. WANT TO BE A PODCAST GUEST TO GROW YOUR BRAND AND AUDIENCE?

    The Identity Archaeologist: Minimum Standard of Living

    The Identity Achaeologist: Debating Minimum Standard of Living & Civility Josh Zepess makes his argument for what he calls an MSL - Minimum Standard of Living. It isn't tied to money and instead provides basic human services that satisfy the D-Needs (Maslow) so that people can now produce out of purpose and not survival - something that would benefit society as a whole.  Money can now be used as a reward for providing value.

    Ep. 07 - Caleb Maupin: An unapologetic radical who praises communism

    Caleb Maupin is not afraid to be called "radical" or "fanatic".  He is the founder and director for the Center for Political Innovation.    He doesn’t shy away from the word “Communism” when explaining his political views, and advocates that the USA move toward some form of “socialism with American characteristics” rooted in the democratic and egalitarian traditions often found in American history.    Socialism and Communism are two words that create highly charged debates, given the history of past regimes that enacted them.  This will be a very interesting conversation!   WANT TO BE A PODCAST GUEST TO GROW YOUR BRAND AND AUDIENCE?
