Choice Conversations

In this show, I talk with George Donnelly from the Steem Smart podcast. We do a deep dive into Steemit, the social news site which combines blogging with the cryptocurrency steem. What are the differences between steem, steemit, steem power, and steem dollars? Can you make money off of steemit? Is it concerning that whales have so much power on the platform? Should we be worried that the power behind the steem block chain is centralized? How do you write a good introduceyourself post? George is actually kind enough to give me some pointers on my introduceyourself post on the air during the show. Good stuff you won't want to miss!

Commander Dale Brown is the founder of the Threat Management Center in Detroit, where his organization provides an alternative to the local police in the areas of safety and security. I'm intrigued by the work Commander Brown is doing, as his focus is on prevention and non-violence. Today's show, part one of three, covers a lengthy discussion we had together. In this episode, we talk about Commander Brown's story and the story of his organization, but our talk goes far beyond that! We get into the nature of police work, where police are failing, and how his strategies are superior. Heedless of avoiding controversy, we then dive right into the topics of racism, racial profiling, Nazism in modern Germany, and sexism.

In this latest installment of the Fall of Stefan Molyneux series, Wes Bertrand and I go through a laundry list of concerns over the inconsistent messages from Freedomain Radio. We could not help returning to the topics of IQ, race, genetics, R vs K, immigration, and Donald Trump. These ideas are the backbone of Stef’s thinking these days, overarching themes, so even though they've been covered thoroughly earlier in the series, we still briefly address them in this episode. Having said that, our discussion goes into many new areas, including the following: Adam Kokesh's appeal to Stef to debate him about soap opera politics and click bate podcast titles Stef's cult of personality, where he is not questioned Psychologizing by Stef and the FDR community Stef's abondonment of Objectivism and the individual (and his corresponding embrace of collectivism) Stef's inconsistencies about the win-win nature of the free market Is Donald Trump a lesser evil? Is Stef a neocon and/or a proponent of the religious right? Doe

I was recently a guest on Vince Easley's show on Real Liberty Media, No Time for Rational Thinking, and I thought you might like to hear it.

Vince, and his producer Flash, mix in a lot of humor, making the show entertaining and enlightening.

From there, we cover a smargasbord of other strategies and life hacks, including morning routines, affirmations, journaling, gratitude, mediation, and positive thinking. We also talk about entrepreneurship, escaping the rat race, the importance of maintaining a positive attitude, and how public schools can sabotage our ability to excel in life.

Wes Bertrand and I are joined by author David Hathaway to discuss his excellent book Immigration: Individual vs National Borders. David's book provides a logically consistent view of immigration from a Libertarian's perspective. It details the various fallacies that are put forth by so called voluntaryists who advocate the use of state power to "protect" the borders. This show continues The Fall of Stefan Molyneux series. The principled arguments David makes during our conversation match those that Molyneux use to make. The Freedomain Radio shows linked below illustrate this. Unforutnately, Stef has done a complete 180 on immigration, as a supporter of Donald Trump and a proponent of using state violence to "close the borders." Stefan's stance on immigration circa January 2007. Sadly he no longer advocates this position:http://www.fdrpodcasts.com/#/619/immigration-and-empathyhttp://www.fdrpodcasts.com/#/620/immigration-part-2 The Fall of Stefan Molyneux SeriesPart 1 in the series:http://choiceconversations.li

While the Reboot Your Kids website lives on, it no longer hosts the podcasts I recorded with Kevin Geary last year. For posterity's sake, I'm putting those shows into the Choice Conversations feed. In this episode, Kevin interviews Dr. Dan Siegel about his latest book No Drama Discipline. His book provides an effective, compassionate road map for dealing with tantrums, tensions, and tears. Dr. Siegel’s work is unique in that it places an emphasis on helping parents understand the relationship between brain development and their child’s behavior.

Wes Bertrand and I are joined by geneticist Kevin McKernan for more analysis of Stefan Molyneux and Freedomain Radio. This time we take a close look at Molyneux's Gene Wars series, and the R vs K hypothosis discussed within. Kevin details how R vs K has long been dismissed as pseudo science by the scientific community, and that there is no evidence for the claims Stefan is making that political leanings are tied to genetics. From there, Kevin talks about how the claims Stef is making about IQ being linked to genetics also have no scientific evidence to back them. We discuss race quite a bit in this episode, and even dig into global warming a bit. This is a can't miss show, especially if you are an FDR listener!
