Send us a text Violence is not the answer to our political situation. Showing restraint in the face of belligerence and insult is the best way to prevent the manipulations of fascists.
Send us a text Pseudoconspiracies are situations that appear to be conspiracies from the outside but often aren't once we look closer. This episode was recorded live on twitter using Spaces and featured an open discussion with listeners at the end of the podcast. That twitter space can be accessed here: https://x.com/spencergwatson/status/1963046227320439021
Send us a text Jim Stewartson is a twitter influencer who engages in conspiratorial ideas about Mike Flynn being Q of Qanon, Russian mind control mass media influence campaigns, and about Donald Trump being either the mastermind of a conspiracy to bring a new dark age of fascism or a rube that’s being used by Russia to bring about a dark age of fascism. Whichever happens to fit the mood of the day. His influence is slowly warping the ability for the left wing of the American political spectru...
Send us a text Bill Cosby's fall from fame represents a complete change of our collective view of him. An inversion of our shared reality. How should we look at people who once attempted to associate themselves with his image? In this episode, Eric the Deep State Operative joins me to discuss an edge case whereby a group of people might need to be exonerated of the crime of liking Bill Cosby but *not* of their other crimes.

Send us a text Is the US at war with Iran? Should anyone believe anything Trump says? How will the Iranian response affect world markets? Are we slow walking past mere nuclear brinksmanship? Can the US prevent Iran from ever becoming a nuclear nation or can it simply delay? Does violent intervention prevent further diplomatic opportunities from being useful? Mike Rains (aka @PokerPolitics on Twitter) joins me for ep 115 of Truth Unrestricted to make sense of Operation Midnight Hammer.
Send us a text The Throne Speech is usually not newsworthy. Until the response to it is a direct shot across the bow from the heart of Alberta Separatism. We also discuss deficit spending and the economic sleight of hand of Mark Carney.

Send us a text Is playing nice in politics the same as playing nice in a competitive game? Do the same rules apply? Should we look at these things similarly? Are some of us doing so already?
Send us a text The Western Canadian separatist movement emanates outward from Alberta. And within Alberta the movement finds its roots in the oil and gas sector. Making this economic engine run is the primary goal of every Alberta government and it has progressed to the point where this goal foresakes all others. That's where we are now. Make the oil flow, or they leave. But it doesn't have to be that way. Over the next year many arguments will be had on shop floors and dinner tables about w...
Send us a text Pascal's Wager is about how to make an existential decision. Should we or shouldn't we change our behavior now in case something turns out to be true? This isn't so useful for converting people to Christianity but it does apply directly to climate change.

Send us a text The idea that Western Canada should separate from the rest of Canada is now rising in popularity so I thought we should go over it.

Send us a text What would Pierre Poilievre do as Prime Minister? How could Poilievre resolve his Trump-like rhetoric with a political need to oppose an expansionist Trump agenda? And what will Poilievre's most enthusiastic supporters do if he loses?
Send us a text Blendr News is a Canadian online alternate media outlet striving to become the next major interpreter of the world for those dissatisfied with the Liberal Party of Canada. In this episode, I check in with one of their videos to see how it compares with reality.

Send us a text Is the left creating their own populist movement to counter the right? Is it possible that it's happening by happenstance rather than by design? Do we need to be aware of the shape of our resistance lest it create bigger problems?
Send us a text Do you want Canada to join the US? If so, why? And if you won't say, why not?
Send us a text Poker as Life: Bluffing There can exist a situation in information logic where a person knows something (usually that they themselves are lying) that they imagine no one else could possibly know. And in this way they manufacture a high level of confidence when asserting that a specific thing is true. It might be very interesting to examine this situation as a direct comparison to the "bluff" as used as a strategy in poker. Bluffing might be the single best known part of the ga...
Send us a text Is AI conscious? How could we tell? Is AI dangerous? Can we trust AI? Could AI come to trust us? Stephen Mather is the co-host of the Matter Over Mind podcast which discusses quantum physics and psychology by turns. https://open.spotify.com/show/3MfsQEbW0lvHic5UHYOREt https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/matter-over-mind/id1788940184
Send us a text What level of political compromise should politicians on the left be comfortable with when attempting to curb the excesses of the right? Can the less extreme participants trust the more extreme and, if so, to what extent?
Send us a text Can football be rigged? Could the Super Bowl have been rigged? Why? Why not? What would it take for it to have been rigged? What would it take for someone to believe it had been rigged? This episode was made for youtube and contains video clips that are described verbally in the episode.

Send us a text Does science slowly "eat away" at spiritual ideas? Does the exactness and thoroughness of modern science stifle spiritual belief? Do people attempt to re-engage with spiritual beliefs by first casting themselves and their ideas against science? Links https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disenchantment
