Philosophy & Education Episodes

Maybe you believe in God or maybe you don't. Whether you do or not, you've probably heard about the debate. I'm talking about the debate where the people who don't believe in God try to convince the people who do, to abandon their faith and put their trust in science. At the same time, the people who do believe in God, try to convince those who don't, to abandon their understanding of science and adopt their opponent's religious beliefs. As you can imagine, neither side has...

Whether we want a job in construction, or in big business, or at a law firm--whether it is an entry level, intermediate level, or senior executive level, there one constant: that someone will make the hiring decision and that the Physics of Leadership determines the outcome. That hiring manager will decide whether or not they see it in their own best interest to hire us based on how we make them feel about their priorities, interests, and future success. And whether we get the job or not depend...

What would it take to eradicate American poverty in a generation or less . . . or in a decade or less? I think I figured it out yesterday. You be the judge. Enter my mind and witness how a montage of scattered experiences and empirical observations over the last 25 years, spontaneously fused in my mind, bound together by the Physics of Leadership, crystalizing the architecture of a 21st Century American Aristocracy of Patriotic Icons with the power to eradicate all American Povert...

In this episode, Socrates and I teach the meaning of critical thought and its central logical foundation: "Know Thyself" We explore the meaning of "Know Thyself," its application, and examples of critical thought in our quest to experience and re-experience true illumination. This episode also includes a brief primer on critical thought through inductive and deductive reasoning which will be explored in Critical Thought Part 2: Inductive Reasoning, and Critical Thought Part 3: Deductive Reas...

If you've seen combat service in the military, been a first responder, are vulnerable or experienced abuse in your home or community, experienced sexual abuse, abusive relationships, are food insecure, lost your job, or are being beaten by someone at home or when you were a kid, or if you've ever been shot at . . . there's a good chance you have it--even if you think you don't. If you do, there's a pretty good chance you don't even know you have it--and you might even be convinced you don't.&...

COVID-19 has, as of November 2020, claimed the lives of a quarter million Americans and left their families in terrible pain. There isn't much I can do for the people who are gone, but for those who remain and those who have or may find themselves among the bereaved, I invite you into my mind. This episode explores the connection between the human spirit and the most powerful celestial bodies and forces in the universe. And it's my hope that, in the 31:07 seconds we spend together--especially ...

Certain immutable natural laws are constant throughout the universe; these laws govern every single aspect of our existence--and that is a fact. There is either order, or there must be none. So too, is there must be a physics to leadership. It is the only reason a leadership action can achieve a repeatable, predictable leadership result. If not for the Physics of Leadership, all leader action would yield a random leadership result. If there is good leadership anywhere then the Physics of Lead...

I invite you to spend eight minutes and twenty-five seconds inside my mind. Consider me an "Objectivist," whose favorite hobby is observing the universe to share my perception. I didn't create this podcast to advance an agenda or make a point. My podcast is unconcerned with tedious politics or any of the social cages people build for themselves. But I will share my observations all the same. And, if you spend eight minutes and twenty-five seconds in my orbit, it will change you and affect your...
