TRIGGERnometry

Episode with Victor Hanson was “interesting”. Said some insightful things about the positives of Trump, but excercised some very selective thinking about the negative side. Episodes like this that make me think this podcast is quite a bit to the right of center. Hosts are too agreeable, I would appreciate them challenging the guests a bit. Update a few months later … feel the same as before. Pippin Malmgren interview was interesting. It amazes me the agonizing contortions some people do to explain President Trump’s behavior in a positive light. Definitely not a proponent of Occam’s Razor … Many months later… interview of Kelsi Sheren was all over the place. Seems like she was entirely against assisted death. Then it was the drugs used, and it would be okay if it were to be caused by morphine. Then it was bad for depressed people, but okay for grandma. Then it was bad for grandma and our culture should value taking care of the elderly. Then it was okay in hospice, but not in hospitals. Then there was a conspiracy to sell organs, a conspiracy for “psychopathic physicians “ to make money, and a financial need due to an overcrowded healthcare system. Seems like an angry person that is in love with the sound of her voice.

As someone who believes in the right to die with dignity BUT also is very concerned about the MAID stories in Canada, I was looking forward to listening to this podcast with Kelsi Sheren. Admittedly, I didn’t know who Kelsi was before today. Unfortunately, I found her unbearable to listen to. She uses pressured speech to overwhelm the listener and does her argument a disservice by conflating ideas and in some cases, straight up serving up false information as if it’s accepted gospel. I expected much more pushback from the lads on this one. I found myself pausing it several times just to give myself a breather. I enjoy so many of the debates on this podcast, but this one is disappointing.

Why would you let Andrew Wilson get away with the claim that only theists can have objective morality?

Excellent podcast with former climate crazy. She was eye opening and informative. Best podcast in a while!
