    Funerals, Hospitalizations, Protests, Assassinations, and World War 2.25?
    Jun 28 2025

    This last two week period has been one of the craziest of my life.

    In this episode I take a philospical look at how we survive and thrive through chaos, uncertainty, and health challenges. For me that's included funerals, hospitalizations, political protests, guests, assassinations, business uncertainty, selling cars, and the rumblings of war.

    Also the state of diplomacy now? It's decidely less great. Make Diplomacy Great Again!

  • Is Truth Subjective or Objective?

    Is Truth Subjective or Objective?
    Jun 20 2025

    In this episode we consider the nature of truth:

    What does it mean for a thing to be true?

    What does it mean to be "true for me" and "true for you"?

    In science things are "true to the best of our current understanding."

    Lastly, there are truths that are if/then propositions. IF this is granted, THEN this follows.

    This is a very interesting subject I've been thinking about for years. I hope you enjoy it!

    Exhaustion/Radicalized by Basic Human Decency
    Jun 17 2025

    In this episode, I talk about life as a caregiver, grief, politics, faith, and the strange process of being radicalized by basic human decency. It’s a personal one. There’s some ranting, some reflecting, some philosophizing, a sunrise, and probably too much caffeine.

    Also, I thought we were pro-life?
