The Subjective Professor Podcast

Nigel Farage is the starting point for this episode. His recent experience with the banking system in England is an interesting one. His experience will be compared to Dylan Mulvaney and Bud Light. Then Banking choice and Russia is brought into the discussion and we will conclude with the predictable, "more freedom is the way." 

Let's take a look at the Fall of Threads (Barring a comeback). The fate was decided by users and the quality of the product. How did people get the information they needed to decide what was worth using in LESS THAN 2 WEEKS? Government protection and oversight actually increase the damage caused by misinformation. Instead of relying on the government, which is just made up of flawed people anyway,...

This episode takes a look at Prospera in Honduras, a so-called Free City. The technical term is ZEDE - Zone for Economic Employment and Development. I also discuss two other cities, Gurgaon in India and 1980s Spartanburg, S. Carolina in the USA.  Free Cities are cities without little to no government. In those cities, everything has to be voluntary and must respect property rights. Nail Houses are...

This episode explain what intersectionality is and how the subjective theory came so close to understanding race but chose victimhood instead. Inhabiting multiple racial categories is a way to escape oppression and injustice, not a way to increase it... unless that's what you want, magnify your victimhood. We get to talk about Charles A. Harrison, too!! Reference - Episode 8.

War is NOT anti-isolationism, so what is it? We should beware the person who promotes war with Moral Virtue signaling. War and Trade each have benefits and costs. We should not ignore them because of some subjectively represented "good." Being anti-war and pro-trade is not isolationism. War is actually racially motivated in the sense of the Subjective Professor. Economics goes a LONG way to explai...

Revisiting P. Bourdieu and his theory of Fields and Rules. A twist is provide by an introduction to Game theory.  It's great for developing strategy but also for understanding the moves of others. There are complicating factors to consider which are emotion, belief, and rule changes on the fly. Anyway, it's another tool to help us navigate life and mitigate risk.

A part of the The NDAA - National Defense Authorization Act apparently allots funding for teaching DEI (Diversity Equity and Inclusion) to soldiers. There are many problems with the way Gov't handles the military, why add more problems? The problem is that DEI teaches people how to discriminate badly, that is, to discriminate for the wrong characteristics. Giving people Freedom allows more people...

Trending on social media (Babylon Bee, mostly) is the idea that exercising is Fascistic. Well, we can see that it is a racialization, a creation of a race on a questionable understanding. There are sloppy definitions all around but especially of fascism. Exercising or not exercising is a choice and both come with consequences. Freedom of Choice for the win.

In the last episode censorship was discussed in a way to avoid censorship. This episode will discuss the free market of ideas.  Examples include the Cell phone, DVDs, War vs Peace, and we touch on the Wright brothers and Curtiss in the airplane lawsuit conflict. Freedom is always better than force.

This episode discusses Censorship and Speech Bans. They are actually protections for weak and bad ideas. Debate is prohibitied for bad ideas to spread. If we could debate anything in anyway we desired, then the need for censorship is eradicated. Bad ideas are easily and eventually recognized for what they are. Maintaining censorship creates a religious climate of orthodoxy and Heresy.  

Our school once had a "crossover" collaboration with the business school where students were challenged to come up with innovative ideas to solve real world problems. Where the other classes had the SAME ideas semester after semester, our class has some ideas which horrified the judges. It was perfect. Because out of the box ideas are often considered dangerous and scary. They usually are, but som...

Strikes are like trying to get a car fixed... and your mechanic changes the payment due. It's a lot like that. But then, is Morality an issue in strikes? Justice?  Subjectively speaking maybe, but one can't deny Economics. What would be the Free market way of resolving labor disputes?

This episode will take a closer look at the Impersonal nature of the Free Market. NOT caring about your religion, politics, or race is a good thing, it turns out. The story of the graphite (lead) pencil was they story which changed how I saw the world and race interaction. It shows how we can have peace and harmony while everyone becomes better off. The case of the website designer who refused to...

I heard people use "truth" several times over the past few days so I thought I would revisit this topic.  The reality is that we can't ever really know everything. For example, the Unified Theory. We can only know pieces of everything, and even that, subjectively.  The debate can move forward with the acknowledgement of the costs of choice, the price of belief. Risk and Lawsuits can give rise to e...

Happy July 4th! Independence Day here in the US. But Freedom is feared and thus reduced in the country these days. This is because people believe that freedom is too dangerous and thus must be limited or restricted. Recall that value is subjective which means people have different priorities. Reducing freedom ignores the best way to reduce irresponsible and truly dangerous activity: Liability/resp...

Now that Affirmative Action is no more in America, what happens to the public high school in America? To be frank, they are monopolies which exploit students. In a free society, how much could a teacher make? But in America how are good teachers like Jaime Escalante treated?

This episode explains the construct "Moral Hazard" and government incentives. The government NEEDS problems to justify its existence. Then I explain Jean-Baptiste Say's Law and what that has done for the path out of poverty. Finally, I share a perspective on the Surpreme Court decision to overturn Affirmative Action in college acceptance standards.

This episode explains that "The Poor" is a Racialization (Ep 8). Because it is a generalization, a "one size fits all" solution will be inadequate, even harmful. People are creative when it comes to ways to become poor. How is poverty determined anyway? What is the current solution being used? And, is it working?

In this episode, we will BRIEFLY examine a pair of current events through the subjective lens. What are OTHER possible subjective perspectives to the events which are highlighted by the corporate media outlets? The two events for this sampling are the Ukraine conflict and the Implosion of Ocean Gate's submersible, Titan. Believe what you want, but always remember there is risk and liability, alway...

This episode picks up where we left off in Ep 21. The 3rd wall of the box is our personal Religion/Morality. The last wall I encountered is the Wall of Language. This last wall is particularly important for those who live in multi-lingual homes. The episode wraps with the connection between our problems and Hope.

This episode examines the metaphorical mental box. Most people skip describing the box making it difficult to realize one has never left it. Most out of the box ideas are bad (subjectively speaking). Nevertheless, none of them should be canceled or censored. What the box has to do with Hope will be discussed in Ep 22.

This episode examines chapter 2 of the manifesto. Surprisingly, Marx explains what a communist is and it is NOT a proletarian. He seems a bit shortsighted when he claims to abolish truths. The implication for his own knowledge production seemed beyond his ken. Finally, he lists the 10 things which must be enacted once the communists come to power. It's a surprising list, to say the least.

This episode examines Marx's subjective take on machines how they enable the enslavement of the proletariat. As he is throwing shade on innovation and improvement of the quality of life, he takes shots at women and people of the "wrong" age. He has a weak understanding of good economics and writes against the very phenomenon which would lead to higher wages and social mobility. Ultimately, Marx dr...

Analysis of the Manifesto continues. The first episode using Libsyn as podcast hosting, so the episodes are no longer just on Rumble and Youtube. Slight format change, instead of rushing through as many topics as possible, I will go slower with more detail. Hopefully, this will result in a better listening experience. The focus of this episode will be: the Phenomenon of Overproduction, and the pro...

Many people talk about communism and Marx as if they have read him, but I think it is clear they have not; if they did, they did not understand what he was saying. This episode begins a 4 episode trek into the Communist Manifesto focusing on Marx's own words. One may choose to continue to be a fan of Marx, but most people may be tempted to find something better.
