What does it mean to know? Besides the obvious, it means that we stop considering what possibilities, answers, and opportunities await us in the realm of the Unknown. Come and join us as we discuss some of the major issues facing society today, what we can learn from careful observation, and how our collective experience can be used to solve these problems.

Moving Forward
We've addressed a myriad of societal concerns, particularly human nature, social media, and propaganda, but how do we move forward, and what are the solutions? Daniel and Peter suggest we question "authority figures" who pose as the be-all, end-all experts and seek comfort and support in genuine interpersonal relationships and communities. 2023 is sure to hold more opportunities to question who has our best interest on our path toward our fullest potential.

Labor - Motivating Our Workforce
In this episode, Daniel Curtis and Peter explore the heavy history of slavery in America and how it relates to issues in the labor market today. New technology, automation, and industrialization helped end slavery, and those very same reasons are significant contributors to why we have an alarming amount of unskilled and unemployed citizens. Robots and computers are slowly replacing low-skilled workers. In order to succeed, we must be adaptable and willing to learn valuable and specialized skills. How can we motivate people to succeed in our current society?

Propaganda - The Bane of Society
Propaganda: the impact it has on society and our ability to think freely and make individual decisions. It’s vital first to understand where propaganda comes from and whose agenda it ultimately serves. Unfortunately, many people today have an antiquated perspective of propaganda and are not conscious of the many ways it is being used against them. That’s why people must become aware of the signs that propaganda is being used and impacting them, their loved ones, and the world at large.
Tune in as Daniel and Peter discuss:
Five reasons why propaganda is different from free thoughtWhy propaganda is created and who it benefits the mostThe primary goal of corporate and organizational propaganda and those who fund itWhy some publicly elected officials are not working toward fulfilling what is in the best interest of their constituentsHow propaganda is being used to quash people, free speech, and ideologies that do not support a particular worldviewThe challenges of identifying current propaganda that is being widely distributed on social mediaWhy major news outlets began to remove the comment section on articles and how it furthers the spread of propagandaThe reason propaganda is like the gateway drug to mass genocideA modern-day country that is a perfect example of the impact long-term propaganda can have on a populationThe role propaganda has played in many historical wars and atrocities globallyHow notable historical figures used propaganda to manipulate public opinion to further their agendas Support the show -

Freedom of Speech?
The (All) Unknowing Podcast with Daniel Curtis
Daniel and Peter discuss five reasons freedom of speech is the most critical component of governmental structure and the fundamental rights it should guarantee every citizen without fear of retribution or censorship. Historically, these rights have played a vital role in the fight for civil rights and social change in the United States. However, freedom of speech has limitations, and in recent years these limits have been widely debated. Now is a critical time to stand up and resolve the surmounting issues surrounding freedom of speech before future generations are ill-prepared to deal with the repercussions.
Tune in as Daniel and Peter discuss:
· Why freedom of speech is one of the top 3 problems that society faces right now.
· What happens when people lose sight of what true free speech enables.
· How the great civilizations of the world have cut themselves off by adopting an antagonist attitude towards freedom of speech.
· Why Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. is a real and fundamental example of how to effectively stand for social change and engineer a revolution through the power of speech.
· How “cancel culture” and the private entities funding it have eroded First Amendment rights.
· Why the concept of a “utopian” society is an unrealistic ideology and a danger to freedom of speech.
· How corporate speech policies impact citizens’ ability to earn a living.
· Why freedom of speech is essential to a functioning democratic process.
· How Freedom of Speech allows the exchange of ideas and the free flow of information academically, culturally, and among businesses.
· Effective methods for resolving conflicts related to unpopular views and opinions amongst university staff, students, and the public.

Does Cancelled Have One (L) or Two? - Part 2
The (All) Unknowing Podcast with Daniel Curtis – Cancel Culture Part 2
Daniel continues his discussion on “cancel culture” with Peter by exploring how to counteract many of the negative effects that “cancel culture” has had on how people are treated, how we think, and how we converse with one another in our society. For years, “cancel culture” has aided in quelling free speech and ostracizing individuals and groups who have alternative opinions and beliefs. Teaching the next generation how to think objectively and have disagreements without persecuting others is vital to social stability, at present or in the future.
Tune in as Daniel and Peter discuss:
What should be done to people and groups who have extreme social and political viewpoints instead of canceling themHow canceling people with extreme views and opinions hinders them from being able to change their ways and have a positive impact on societyWhy “cancel culture” fails to empower critical and objective thinkingHow the echo chamber effect in our society influences public policyWhy “cancel culture” is a disdain on the tapestry of societyWhy more forums to have conversations about issues that are impacting our nation are neededThe root issue that has caused “cancel culture” to metastasis into a type of cancer within our societyThe danger of emotional extremism and why it needs to be addressed

Customer Reviews
An important voice for free speech
I am a new subsciber to this podcast and I was interested in the 'Freedom of Speech'. This is a very good, non-partisan podcast that provided great insights about the value of free speech. It deftly explores the implications of what various, "unreasonable-sounding" restrictions might be and why all people ultimately benefit from the freest market of ideas we can establish. A perfect example of MLking summed up the great content in this pod!
Phenomenal
Where have I been? This podcast is relatively new but I must say it's phenomenal! I recommended it to my wife and will do to my friends and family members. Great hosts and such relevant topics. It cuts across education, politics and what we face in our everyday world. I must add it's also motivating. I can't say enough good things about this podcast. Do yourself a favor and give it a listen.
Good informative podcast!
Hands down to one of the best podcast I've stumbled across. Thank you for the plethora of good information, spirited honesty, and genuine authenticity. This show is worth recommending.
