Unite! Assemble! Resist! Take ‘em down! But wait…shouldn’t we talk about it first? Hi everyone! Today we discuss the term, “social justice warrior.” It’s definition, a bit of history, and it’s connotation. Corbin and myself, that would be Aaron, discuss what the difference is between a SJW and a SJA (Social Justice Advocate). Part of the fundamental principles in a democracy is having democratic conversations. We must put emotion and ego at the door, and engage in opening a dialogue of discourse and debate. Progress is made when we take part in the opening of ideas and beliefs different than our own. To challenge others and ourselves. That is the true way of progression. So, join us! Listen! And hey, maybe even disagree with us!Sources for this episode:https://fee.org/articles/how-the-term-social-justice-warrior-became-an-insult/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gamergate_controversyhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_justice_warriorhttps://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Social_justice_warrior#The_term_itselfhttps://www.atheistrev.com/2015/01/most-social-justice-advocates-are-not.htmlAlso, our intro music was sourced from FreeMusicArchive.org:The GaysBasic BitchesDead Peoples RecordsBlue Dot SessionsAnd, don’t forget to write us with any comments or corrections, or “concerns” at enlightenedtogo@gmail.com
Yo brochachos! Welcome to the podcast! On today’s episode, Corbin and I have a pretty “casual” conversation about that old time saying, “no homo.” Join us as we discuss what it means to “be a man,” to “man up,” and how “boys don’t cry.” Why is it hard, or wrong, for men to show vulnerability? Do we really need to perpetuate this culture of toxic masculinity? Or is it something more?Sources for this episode:https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2014/feb/23/gay-rights-homophobia-michael-samhttps://goodmenproject.com/featured-content/is-no-homo-still-a-thing-kvnw/https://www.elitedaily.com/life/culture/no-homo-is-not-a-gay-slurhttps://slate.com/culture/2009/08/the-rise-of-no-homo-and-the-changing-face-of-hip-hop-homophobia.htmlhttps://www.huffpost.com/entry/man-to-man-guys-we-need-to-talk-about-your-fragile_b_59414445e4b0d99b4c921041https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/louis-michael/hyper-masculinity-man_b_13280034.html?guccounter=1&guce_referrer_us=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ29vZ2xlLmNvbS8&guce_referrer_cs=tNRWz_Fnz2KUhsae6fwvCgAlso, our intro music was sourced from FreeMusicArchive.org:The Gays : http://freemusicarchive.org/music/The_Gays/Basic Bitches: http://freemusicarchive.org/music/Basic_Bitches/Dead Peoples Records: https://freemusicarchive.org/music/Dead_Peoples_Records/Lounge/Blue Dot Sessions: http://freemusicarchive.org/music/Blue_Dot_Sessions/And, don’t forget to write us with any comments or corrections, or “concerns” @ enlightenedtogo@gmail.com

Today we take a somewhat deep dive, or attempt to, in the broad world of gender. Distinguishing the difference between Gender, Sex, and Sexual Identity. As more generations grow in this ever changing world of social and political upheaval, it is important that we understand, and learn to establish positive reinforcement in the world of gender identity.Sources for today’s episode:Human Rights Campaign: https://www.hrc.org/resources/sexual-orientation-and-gender-identity-terminology-and-definitionsMentalHelp.net: https://www.mentalhelp.net/articles/sexual-identity-and-gender-identity/Teen Health Source: http://teenhealthsource.com/giso/sex-gender-sexual-identity/National Geographic: https://www.nationalgeographic.com/magazine/2017/01/how-science-helps-us-understand-gender-identity/Also, music on today’s podcast was sourced from FreeMusicArchive.comArtists include:Blue Dot SessionsDead Peoples RecordsBasic BitchesThe Gays
Today is your day to WAKE and BAKE with Corbin and Aaron! We do a little opinion piece on one of our favorite topics, cannabis! Some pretty abridged history, fun pop culture, and personal stories. We share our viewpoints on the uses and stigma of marijuana throughout history, and where we think it is going today. So grab a bowl, eat a brownie, take a dab, rub your favorite THC oil, and relax with us.Website used: https://www.narconon.org/drug-information/marijuana-history.html
Join us today on our semi-Thanksgiving episode! Get to know us a little more on a lighter episode where we talk about whatever we feel like. From the Dictator’s Handbook to Bohemian Rhapsody, we have fun just talking about some of our favorite things.
Corbin and I give our thoughts on gun violence in America. And not just the violence of mass shootings or school shootings, but gun laws as well. What are some of the other factors that play into the fight for stricter gun laws? And, why is it such an uphill battle? We discuss, what we believe, what are some of the fights that we as Americans need to take on as a country, and whether or not it is a problem that can be ultimately solved.
On our third episode, I sit back like a morning grouch and provide some commentary, while Corbin leads, as we dive into voter suppression and the events that took place with previous Secretary of State Brian Kemp. Join us, as we try and wrap our minds around this maneuver, and how we think voting should be.
Join us as we discuss mister Jean Jacques Rousseau and the theory of the social contract. What it means, and how it applies to us as citizens of the United States. The freedom of protesting and what it means to be heard in a representative democracy. Or at least, we try.
Welcome to the first episode of Enlightenment To-Go! Join us as we attempt to discuss the importance of Thomas Paine, the Age of Reason, separation of Church and State, and examples from our current political and social climate.
