The Subjective Professor Podcast

This episode I go over some of what I experienced at the Ron Paul conference in Dulles, Va over the weekend.  Next, I share some thoughts on the Trump Putin meeting in Alaska.

Jesus Day again on the channel. Let's talk about Grace, again. What is it and what do we do with it? Blessings and Peace.

So, if the system, the state, is corrupt beyond redemption, what can we do? How can we fix the system? That's the discussion for today's thought experiment.

University students love to talk about exploitation; it emboldens them. But what exactly is Exploitation? With that better understanding, does the world look any different? Do we begin to see our own exploitation?

If you are around my age then you are very familiar with AOL. You might be as surprised as I was when I heard that it was shutting down! I didn't even know it was still in use! This is a good time to talk about Supply and Demand.

I want to discuss another aspect of Eagles football "culture" as a way to get deeper into the phenomenon of the unrepentant STUBBORN, self-righteous political radical; they exist on the "right" and "left".  Why does it happen and what is the way to get out will be the focus of this episode.

I met one of my college roommates today for a couple of hours and for the first time in 38 years.  We talked about several topics one of which was how we met our wives. So, I thought I would do an episode where I'm kind of "thinking out loud" on the topic of marriage, dating, and family.

Sunday which means it's Jesus Day on the channel.  Well, once upon a time the wisest man in the world said that EVERYTHING is meaningless. How do we find meaning in a world where nothing has meaning?

Years ago, I had a conversation with an economics professor. It was brief and about "asymmetric knowledge." I think he thought that he had more knowledge that me. See what I did there? So, what do we do when some people have more knowledge than others?

A former student posted a meme of Woke as defined by the Southern Poverty Law Center. I examine that definition and compare it to drafting 14 year old boys in Ukraine.

Redrawing the lines of voting districts in Texas is in the news. I thought it would be interesting to contrast that with another story I saw the other day, Somaliland. What is going on, subjectively speaking and what is the lesson we can take away from it.

Tying pop culture to contemporary issues again. Braveheart is one of my favorite movies and serves as the jumping off point for the discussion on Freedom and the Smallest minority of society: The Individual.

You don't have to enjoy watching American Football to hear this episode. The reason for kicking off a talented recruit from the team is interesting and related to the hate I want to discuss from the Game of Thrones Season 5 Episode 5. As always, I try to tie it all back to our lives in the present.

Sunday is Jesus... some Libertarianish Christian Preaching. Today we talk about how to please our neighbor without intimidation and violence. Blessings.

Tying a bunch of seemingly unrelated topics together to give a better sense of where the Subjective Professor is coming from. Is it better to know the truth or to be ever growing in understanding of the events   in our lives? hmm

Revisiting the subject of "isolationism" in our current national situation. Few really understand the concept and that our national policy is more isolationist than I will ever be. It is currently being masked by the "Great Man" concept. 

Austin Metcalf lost his life at a track meet; people want to make it an issue of race. Maybe it is, but I would use a different racialization. What is interesting is the side that people take and why. This brings me to the Pizza incident as discussed by Ansari six years ago.

Another race-oriented topic today but presented as unions and mathematicians.  Any decision we make has a price tag or a cost. Who pays is important to consider. It is often an aspect which is ignored sometimes deliberately.

People who believe in government often get upset when I say that it should be cut drastically. Epstein makes my case easier to make. Meanwhile, the rest of the world gets to enjoy Thorium reactors. sigh. At least USAID is no more as an official entity.

Sunday again which makes it Jesus-day on the channel.  Taking a look at Psalms, discussing a topic that has been on my mind for a while, why is it so hard for people to admit they were wrong?!? Peace.

This episode inspired by Wanjiru Njoya of the Mises Institute. Turns out that she discussed Walter William's book "Race and Economics" which I also used for my book on race. So, I thought I would share what I took away from a chapter from that book. I would like to add that I was able to exchange emails with him before he passed away. He was such a great guy. But racism, without gov't interference...

There was a paper assignment I offered to students to finish their semesters; it was a "persuasion" paper with a deconstruction twist. This episode explains postmodernist deconstruction and how it is supposed to be used. In other words, doing deconstruction properly reduces emotion and encourages people to use their reason to find better solutions.

A topic I probably have discussed as a sub-point in other episodes deserves its own episode: Free Societies in the world. How did they maintain freedom without being a military powerhouse? Perhaps the people today can learn something from them.

An edgy title to discuss a controversial topic. I listened to an interview John Stossel did with James Lindsay who, with a couple other scholars, attempted to publish 20 academic papers which were fake; the title of this episode is the title of one they got published. They did it to expose problems of Woke Left academic publications. But there's more! That was from 2017-18, now Lindsay is discussi...

Stephen Colbert and Crypto... what do they have to do with each other?! Perhaps they are two kinds of echo chambers. Another type of echo chamber is a BOX. Don't get caught in a box.
