Ep 242 Is Trump in Martyr Mode - Looming Debt Crisis 26:08

3d ago26:08

26:08

I can't find where I said it before (was it in my head?) but I thought I said that Trump looks like he's in "martyr" mode. He's willing to suffer even die for his belief in America. I hope I am right and that we need this to get us through the debt crisis in the most "Austrian Economics understanding" way possible. Let's Go!…

Ep 241 Emotion vs Logic – Hopium vs Reason 22:53

3h ago22:53

22:53

Harris supporters are largely silent while Trump supporters are filled with the euphoria of vindication. How much of that is Hopium (hope fill endorphin rush) and how much is based on a reasonable understanding of what is coming financially and economically? This episode tosses around some thoughts on Emotion and Logic; can't get more extreme than …

26:50

Sunday, Jesus Day. Some time for some reflection and preaching. Inspired by current events... for what is it that people hope? Where does hope come from and should believers be any different?

Ep 234 Teach me Who to Hate or Learn to Resolve Problems 28:26

13h ago28:26

28:26

Some candidates and supporters of those candidates are engaging in hate mongering. These people are tirelessly promoting hate and violence. It reminds me of students who would register for my Race class expecting to be taught who, how, and when to hate. I would inform them that the class is NOT going to do that but that there were plenty of other i…

Ep 233 Spontaneous Market in Middle School – Fiat in a Closed System 24:49

11h ago24:49

24:49

My child's science teacher rewards students with her own FIAT currency.

1d ago26:35

26:35

Hey all. I watched the ENTIRE conversation between Trump and Rogan. I present to you my summary and some thoughts on it. The range of topics was only part of the experience, the stamina, and ability of Trump to talk for 3 hours and still attend other events that same day... gotta give him respect. Let's hope that Harris goes on and tries to do the …

3d ago23:22

23:22

Sunday, Jesus Day. Authoritarians to the right and left... and sometimes within. What to do about this natural human inclination to rule and control others? What can Jesus's example of servitude teach us about how we are to serve? God Bless.By The Subjective Professor

4d ago22:51

22:51

My 7th Grade History class was going over the different types of government in the various colonies of major European countries in early colonial America. Colonies tried to attract new and more colonists to ensure success of the colony. In other words, colonies had to cater to the desires of the colonists to attract them and get them to stay. It is…

North Koreans in Russia??? Russia IS getting desperate?? What is going on? It's simple really... and NO, Russia is not getting desperate. Maybe it's just a distraction away from the BRICS summit... it's possible.By The Subjective Professor

Ep 228 No Matter Who You Vote for You Get Inflation 24:22

15d ago24:22

24:22

A variation on the old saying of "no matter who you vote for you get John McCain". In other words, voters wanted a peace president, but they got a war president instead. Well, the same can be said about inflation; that is, people want lower inflation, but they get higher inflation instead. I go over the platform proposals of the 2 candidates and lo…

16d ago24:15

24:15

A trip down memory lane for me. I was reminiscing about my university teaching days, and I thought I would share as part of my "therapy". haha Because I always had to teach "required for graduation" courses, FEW people were excited to be in my class. Those who were excited, well it was because their friend told them about it. In this episode, I go …

Ep 225 Jeremiah 32 1-5 – The Word of God – Politics and Truth 26:52

18d ago26:52

26:52

Sunday, Jesus Day. I wonder if in Bible history there were times when the leadership of Judah and Israel were so corrupt that they tried to censor and thus prevent the hearing of the Truth? As a matter of fact, it was quite frequent. An examination of what was going on might help us to understand our own context. Blessings to you and Peace.…

21d ago23:54

22d ago20:45

Ep 221 Caitlin Clark – Bad Racialization – and a Personal Reveal 22:21

23d ago22:21

22:21

Though I don't really follow professional sports, I can appreciate the athleticism of sports in general. The stories around Clark illustrate many lessons on Race dynamics and what to do when one encounters bad discrimination. That will be the focus of this episode. I also discuss an interview I did with the Wohlwend family on their podcast Real Pow…

Ep 220 Military Draft – National Waste - Korea Anecdotes 22:42

24d ago22:42

22:42

I was listening to Ron Paul and Daniel McAdams today and thought I would talk about the Draft. Coercion indeed. Nothing good can come from this. My mind wandered to stories I heard while I was in Korea and thought I would share.By The Subjective Professor

Ep 219 Mt 13 13-16 Ears that Hear – Word Salad vs Truth 28:04

25d ago28:04

28:04

Sunday Son Day? How do people applaud the speeches heard today, especially those referred to as "word salads?" I have a theory. We might be in a situation where people hear but don't understand; Jesus is familiar with this situation. What is to be done? Are we guilty of the same? Hopefully, I share something helpful to make sense of phenomena which…

Ep 218 Lockdowns - Criminally Anti Education 20:36

27d ago20:36

20:36

Every once in a while, I see something, and then I rant. I am reminded of how criminally negligent the education establishment was and is especially during the Lockdown years. We will be feeling the consequences of that accursed policy for decades. We have work to do.By The Subjective Professor

Ep 217 The Common Good – Back door authoritarianism 23:57

28d ago23:57

23:57

When I taught in the university, The Common Good was the name of one of the courses I would regularly have to teach. What is the common good, what is meant and understood and taught in that perspective? Based on the reading list we were supposed to use, there was LITTLE good taught in many classes. You might be happy to know that every semester I h…

Ep 216 First Principles – The Dummies Guide to Assumptions 26:55

29d ago26:55

26:55

First Principles... it sounds so technical... so, I'm going to dumb it down for you in true Subjective Professor style. I was listening to Dave Smith's podcast about Constantin's discussion of first principles and thought I would put my spin on it and suggest how we can use this simplified understanding positively for personal benefit.…

Ep 215 Lie to Me – Does it Matter Anymore 25:25

30d ago25:25

25:25

One of my favorite shows is Lie to Me which ran from 2009-2011. The first season is the only season one needs to watch. It is based on the research of Dr Paul Ekman. The point is that there are ways to know if someone is lying to us or not. I go over the tv show and a method that I teach the folks at my church. So... try not to lie to me. :D…

Ep 214 Elon Musks Neutrality – Neutrality Is Subjective apparently 22:21

1M ago22:21

22:21

I'm surprised it took this long but Elon Musk's political position has become a trending topic. Is it possible to endorse a candidate AND have a company which is politically neutral??? Then I take a moment to examine the subject of Neutrality. What does it mean and what do they think it means??By The Subjective Professor

Ep 212 ILA Blowback - FEMA – Peek into the Future 23:29

1M ago23:29

23:29

ILA got a lot of what they wanted, but it came at a price. I don't think they will get a good deal next time around if they are still around. Automation is something that cannot be stopped, only delayed with a huge cost. FEMA part of Homeland Security, dropping the ball. I talk a little about how badly they are, but the point is that nearly ALL gov…

Ep 211 ILA Strike – Legal Extortion vs Freedom 25:31

1M ago25:31

25:31

International Longshoreman's Strike is in the news, so, we have to talk about monopolies and government interference again (as if we ever stop). I share some points that should be considered when "choosing" a side. I would quote Treebeard from Lord of the Rings here about choosing sides, but IFKYK. Freedom for the win, again.…

Ep 210 Ad Hominem - Cory DeAngelis and School Choice 24:23

1M ago24:23

24:23

Cory DeAngelis is a HUGE advocate for School Choice and yesterday was fired for choices made when he was younger. I don't know him personally but what we are witnessing is Ad Hominem attacks to divert people's attention from the importance of School Choice. My subjective thoughts on the matter.By The Subjective Professor

A hot-takes episode covering the stories in the news today from troops being deployed overseas to hurricane recovery here.

Speedy return to normal for all those affected by the hurricane.…

Ep 208 My Favorite President – Stay Cool with Coolidge 21:44

1M ago21:44

21:44

Today Calvin Coolidge has become my favorite president of the USA. Not because of his campaign slogan (Stay cool with Coolidge), not because he is named after the originator of the presbyterian tradition, but because he reduced federal debt by 17.2%. Andrew Jackson virtually eliminated the debt, but I'll do an episode on him in the future and maybe…

Ep 207 1Tim 6 6-10 Money and Faith – Creating or Destroying Value 26:20

1M ago26:20

26:20

Sunday Jesus Day. I know that my sermons sound more like economics lectures and this one will fail to break that stereotype. What is money and how is it related to Jesus and faith? A good understanding will lead to the creation of value rather than that sinful destruction of value. Peace and Blessings.…

Ep 206 Anti-Free Speech Academics – Intellectual Protectionism 20:46

1M ago20:46

20:46

Building a bit on yesterday's episode, I take a shot at PhDs. It's a racialization didn't you know? How do many get the PhD, what is their new attitude and what do they do with that license to create information? I think that inflation has happened there, and perhaps I am part of that problem.By The Subjective Professor

Ep 205 Hunka - Keyboard Warriors and Washingtons Farewell Address 22:50

1M ago22:50

22:50

Yaroslav Hunka was a WW2 veteran who was honored in the Candian Parliament, House of Commons one year ago. Zelensky (or as I like to call him, Zenazi) was in town and people thought it would be nice to see another Ukranian who fought against Russians in a different war. WAIT a MINUTE. Nazis fought against the Soviets in WW2, and yep, Canada gave a …
