In this episode I further explore my moral framework this time with Chris Shelton. Chris is a podcaster and YouTube personality. Together we explore the validity of my moral foundation and system.

A moral system that can be drawn upon to answer real world questions and to help the practitioner navigate the oft...

In this episode I summarize the first three episodes of season 2: Conversation with a fundamentalist Christian Nathan Spears 1, 2, and 3. First I steel man Nathans position and try to decode his points as clearly as possible so that you, the listener, can understand what he is saying. Then I discuss the faults in his argument and demonstrate how he is wrong. Listen in and enjoy!

In this episode Nathan and I try to wrap up our discussion and things get a little weird. For two episodes now Nathan has been denying my worldview and questioning the validity of science and the scientific method. So far my worldview and science has held up nicely. But what happens when I turn the tables and start asking him about his worldview? Listen in to find out.

In this episode Nathan and I continue our conversation and expand our topics to cover world views. We also dive into morality and ethics and things get a little testy. Enjoy!

In this episode of Ear Seduction I recount my trip to view the solar eclipse at Grand Tetons Wyoming. The story tells like one long joke and hopefully you find yourself laughing uncontrollably. As a writer and a media producer one of my goals is to write and produce material that will make you laugh. This is my first attempt on the show to do so and I hope it works. Here’s to you.

In this episode of Ear Seduction we discuss capitalism in all of its glory. I make it a point to differentiate myself from those that I call ‘arm chair capitalists’.  Meaning those that would like to espouse the benefits of free markets and privatization and the ‘invisible hand’, as Adam Smith postulated, but without educating themselves on any of the information we’v...

In this episode I engage in a long form discussion with a right-wing nut. Steeped in Ayn Randian ethics, the illusion of free will and free market delirium, my guest crashes and burns in his attempt to make sense of an Oregonian baker’s choice to discriminate against a gay couple. His conclusions are truly astonishing and frightening and speak volumes for a logical truth I’ve always be...
