Today we discuss what the Biden team is looking to do on the Supreme Court before delving in to other topics about the current political climate.
Discussion on exactly what each different "pill" means when people bring them up in conversation.
Some pre-inauguration thoughts on the difficulties of having actual conversations around political violence.
While censorship is bad, the time for decentralization might finally be upon us.
We have a long discussion on the state of things after the Parler take down. Both of us are very optimistic at the thought of a de-centralized internet however, so long term we hold high hopes.
So now what happens?
Discussion on Secession at a state level and even secession as it relates to friend groups and relationships.
Discussion on the Matthew Yglesias book/podcast appearances discussing the prospect of 1 Billion Americans. We also end on a discussion about the new Covid Vaccine that will be rolling out in the coming months.
Discussion on what good/bad came out of the election results (at least until/unless they change).
Some presidential election talk, but also looking in to the Senate, House, and Ballot Measures.
A discussion on the state of Journalism and whether it even exists any more. Also predictions for the election.
Discussion of the DOJ anti-trust suit against google, 230 protections, social discourse, and several other topics.
Starts with a quick recap of the VP debates, followed by 2 debates between Mesh and DRush. Debates are over Lockdowns and UBI, one with the 2 minutes format we see in presidential debates, the other with a more long form 5/10/5 style that we are using as a thought exercise. Neither of us have any debate history or topic expertise, so this is more of a thought experiment on the pros/cons of each style.
What was that debate? How in the world are these the 2 people we have chosen to potentially lead the country?
Today we go in to a discussion on what are Offensive Speech, Hate Speech, and Harassment. We go in to the implications as they relates to freedom of speech, and the cultural implication of being able to punish offensive speech.
