Podcast Transcript Paris Walking 3

I didn’t mean to, but I couldn’t help it. While finishing up our walk around the block in the beautiful streets of Paris, I start ranting about how miserable life is in North America. It wasn’t planned, it just happened. Well, I guess I can speak about lovely Paris here and just hope that some of you read it. If you are wondering, the building that I refer to in this episode is the Val-de-Grâce School. Which of course was a Church and then a Military Hospital and currently a museum, hospital, and school specializing in medical research. The hospital located there is famous for treating most of the French Republic’s top officials and anyone covered under the French social security system. It is a historic building considered by many to be the finest example of French baroque architecture in all of Paris. Of course it is. Meanwhile, I’m stuck looking at our latest architectural atrocity currently occupied by an AT&T outlet. Ohh…Ahh…I like blue light because I’m an American.

HTM: Conspiracy Theories

In this episode I discuss how people suffering from conservatism often fall into conspiratorial thinking. Because they hold beliefs based on faith like: god, the bible, Jesus, and others they aren’t well versed in critical thinking. Thus, they readily and easily believe other nonsense like: flat Earth, lizard people, the mark of the beast, and others. During one of my many social dinners, I was treated to an onslaught of conspiratorial beliefs by an ex-friend of mine named Jerry. Jerry is a moron, and believes nearly everything he sees or hears on: Ancient Aliens, Alex Jones, Joe Rogan, Fox News, and other uncritical and dubious sources. Join me as I take you through this horrific experience and decode how and why conservatives so readily fall into this type of insanity.

HTM: Violence

In this episode of Hot Tub Monologues I discuss the modern conservative solution to most of society’s problems; violence. The call to violence against protesters, homeless people, drug addicts, and other people conservatives don’t like is all together too common. We see it on the news and in our social circles. People who suffer from conservative thinking are convinced that violence is a solution to many of society’s problems including how to care for their own children. As a progressive, I understand that the solution to our social problems is teamwork, compassion, nurturing, and cooperation. Violence should never be used to solve a problem, and society needs to progress past the need to use violence for any reason.
