Gracearchy with Jim Babka

Cancel culture, doxing, not-so-veiled threats, incitement...this is assault plain and simple, which is a crime, by the way. How does society respond? So far, it hasn't been skillful. How do we release the energy in conflict for good?

The deportation of political refugees from Texas to Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts, by Florida Governor Ron DeSantis was a political stunt that is also illegal under Federal law, to say nothing of the outright lies that were told to the Venezuelan immigrants involved. We call out both the perps and the pundits.  Show Notes Clip from the Ken Burns interview: https://twitter.com/tomselliott/status...

Show Notes What is Jubilee? What is usury? Why is the student loan program an example of usury? Why does the idea of a student loan jubilee appeal to Jim? And if so, why does this bailout not meet the criteria? And should we have a "Critical Theory" of Higher Education? Solutions for student loan debt are also presented and weighed in this episode. We welcome your ideas in the comments. Gracearchy...

Should you get out of Bitcoin with its recent decline? Should you be scared to get on board? Jim Babka isn't providing investment advice (he doesn't believe he's qualified to do that). But he does make some long-term predictions. He gives answers to the following questions... - Why is Bitcoin down? Does it still have a purpose, even if its value drops to $10k or lower? - Is Bitcoin an inflation he...

LIVE program begins at 2:43 In this episode, Jim responds to today's Supreme Court ruling overturning Federal protection for abortion rights in the United States. It's time for a conversation that has not taken place in America for about 50 years. This is where that conversation starts, and we hope to have done a decent job setting an example for how to have it in ways to connect rather than divid...

In this episode, we get to listen in on a detailed discussion of that issue with Jim Babka and Stephen Barrows, PhD, and learn how vital an understanding of the world population is to the sustainability of our planet's most precious resource: human life. Stephen Barrows is the chief operating officer at the Acton Ins...

In this inaugural episode, Jim sounds off on guns in America, but in a way that splits the difference between the elimination of all privately-owned guns and the American status quo: loose regulation of them. Beyond the necessary thoughts and prayers everyone can offer, what is the skillful, practical way...

In this episode, Jim takes on the January 6th, 2021, public attack on the United States Capitol building and the live Congressional hearings taking place. We also re-visit the school shootings episode in light of a post written by Darrell Scott, father of two kids who were at Columbine, who lost one of his kids in that attack. For completeness, that post and its background are available here: http...

The Golden Rule has been a time-tested and evidence-based principle for treating others as one wants to be treated since at least 500 years before Jesus stated it in the form many people know it by today: "So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you." (Matthew 7:12 NIV) Is it beyond high time to re-engage the Golden Rule in individual day-to-day interactions, particularly on...
