Eric Peters from Eric Peters Autos joins us to talk about current events. We discuss what hypochondria is and how it has been weaponized.
Nowhere is our growing dystopia becoming more visible than in the calls for a reality czar to oversee the battle against unapproved opinions. Frank Furedi poses the question: Who gets to decided what is real?
For those of us who wish to claim our natural rights, it's unsettling to see how many of the people around us are willing to violate those rights in the name of some perceived "good." Kent McManigal reminds us that a little bit of good doesn't justify evil actions--even if with the best of intentions.
Hot on the heels of angry assertions that the 2020 general election was the most "transparent" and "above board" election within memory, comes the Time magazine article that suggests exactly the opposite. As Annie Holmquist explains, when you have to manipulate, fix and "fortify" in order to get the result you wanted, your election is less than open and honest.

What do TV news, politicians and social media have in common? They are all part of the great fear machine that is being used to convince us that only those in power know enough to run our lives. Paul Rosenberg explains how this arrangement benefits the main players and why it cannot go on indefinitely.
Here's some great news: Utah is on its way to enacting what's known as a "regulatory sandbox" in which permissionless innovation can take place. This is a marvelous idea and could bring some truly ground-breaking ideas to the forefront.
The more government owns and controls property, the less free the people are. As Lawrence W. Reed explains, to own or be owned is a question that affects more than just property. It also determines who controls our lives.

Keeping us within the boundaries of approved opinion is becoming a fulltime job for certain politicians and pundits. Arjun Walia warns that calls are building for a reality czar to keep us within the official narrative.
Free speech matters more than we think. Few thinkers have advocated for it more eloquently than John Milton. A recent essay by Gary M. Galles highlights, with Milton's words, why we don't need a 'reality czar' to prevent wrongthink.
What could a neurosurgeon possibly teach us about cancel culture and virtue signaling? Quite a bit, it turns out. Dr. Richard Menger reminds us that competition of ideas and words without fear and name calling is a fundamental tenet of freedom.
Why do so many people keep clinging to an electoral system that has been commandeered by those in power? Caitlin Johnstone makes a strong case that this system uses the same containment strategies as an Alzheimer's facility does to keep people from leaving it.
Sometimes the changes around us take place so gradually that they're almost imperceptible. Other times, they come at us as fast and furious as a herd of stampeding buffalo. This is why, as Jeff Minnick explains, we find ourselves looking over our shoulders while trying to look ahead to what's coming.

Looking at how much has happened in the past year, it's an interesting exercise to ponder what might have happened had the coronavirus not been diagnosed or detected. John Tamny has a scenario worth considering.
COVID has been politicized in so many ways but few of them are as apparent as the way teachers unions are responding. Kerry McDonald shares the story of how teachers unions continue to block schools from opening across America.
One of the biggest dangers posed by the official reaction to coronavirus is the likelihood of a permanent Covidocracy being installed. Michael Fumento spells out the risks vs. the rewards of the current approach.

A large number of people are awakening to the reality that the two party system isn't what they thought it was. Thomas Luongo has an excellent essay that breaks down why the two parties have collapsed into one and how they never really represented us in the first place.
The recent GameStop saga has also been a learning opportunity for anyone who's paying attention. As Jeff Deist explains, it's a perfect example of how "stakeholder theory" is really just a form of corporate social justice.
The CDC and TSA have become the federal mask police. Daisy Luther has a detailed explanation of their new guidelines and the (few) exemptions to their rules.
At the risk of wandering onto the thinnest of ice, let's take a look at how our culture has reached the point where the president openly advocates for men to compete in women's sports and to use women's restrooms simply by claiming to be a woman. Kenneth LaFave has a fascinating take on how current attitudes towards transgenderism stem from feminism's inability to deal with Marilyn Monroe.

Why is big tech taking such an open stance against, rather than for, freedom of speech? Thomas L. Knapp has been covering internet freedom issues for years and he has a compelling explanation: Big tech is playing Monopoly, and it's going to lose.
Big tech has improved our lives in so many ways. Unfortunately, they've also managed to partner with the security state in ways that we're now just beginning to understand. Ivan Eland has a great article on why this form of crony capitalism is a huge mistake.
The war on dissent is picking up speed with a new, and official, push to address what some politicians are calling "domestic terrorism." As Philip Giraldi explains, this is precisely what to expect when your national security apparatus has been politicized.
One of my heroes is a young woman named Sophie Scholl. She, along with other members of the White Rose, were willing to speak the truth without regard to what it might cost them. More people should know her story and emulate her example.

Whenever government substitutes its force in place of the voluntary choices a free market provides, there are unintended consequences. Like when a "hero pay" mandate in Long Beach, California ends up destroying the jobs of the very people it's supposed to be helping. Brad Polumbo from FEE explains why government should resist the urge to legislate who must be paid what.
There's a lot of stuff going on right now that's beyond our immediate control. I wonder if our efforts might be better focused on helping our young people better prepare to be truth-seekers and to think for themselves. Carolyn Breashears reminds us that teaching our kids not to automatically believe experts is a great start.
When it comes to standing up for truth, Paul Rosenberg's series on common fallacies has been a useful tool in learning how to spot and counter them. His latest essay is all about the argument from authority. That's something we're seeing a great deal of these days.

It's probably safe to say that we learn more from our mistakes than we do from our successes. Alex R. Knight III has a great take on how Donald Trump has shown us that a lot of what we believe about government working in our interest is simply not true.
One of the worst things about the manipulators who seek to rule us is that they are much more skilled at it than we'd like to think. Caitlin Johnstone has some really solid advice on what to do about that.
Robust and honest debate has long been a tool for separating truth from error. But what happens when the rules of debate no longer work? Paul Gottfried shares some timely examples and solutions.
One of the most overlooked ways of having a positive, long-term impact on society is to teach your children well. Annie Holmquist says, don't worry about teaching your kids to be unbiased--it's impossible. Teach them the principles and practices that need to be preserved.
