Next Generation Nuclear Power and Beyond

Nuclear Energy is deeply misunderstood, shrouded in technical jargon, and all the secrecy you'd expect from Cold War weapon technology.

Uncertainty breeds misinformation, and so we were blessed to have Sean Kenny, an expert guest on the next generation of nuclear molten salt reactors.

An enlightening and intriguing conversation was had on the risks and rewards environmentally, and geo-politically for investing in the next generation of Nuclear reactors, and the need to stop lobbyists, political apathy, NIMBYism, and regulatory monopolies

Chinese Colonialism and Soft Power

The Chinese, and their apologists point to how relatively peaceful China's modern expansion has been in comparison with the Western Superpowers.

Activists from Hong Kong to the Uyghurs beg to differ.

The Belt and Road Initiative, the Silk Road 2.0, worldwide trade deals, and buying up of foreign debt in return for massive construction partnerships make for a aggressively growing China.

Meanwhile for stalling economies, with election cycle length plans, Democracy appears less and less appealing.

Is China destined to dominate, and how worried should we be about that?

Does Everyone Hate Feminists?

Chris finally has the nuances of Feminist theory explained to him in a thought provoking debate.

Why do only a minority of people consider themselves Feminist?

What does the movement get right, where can it improve, and why is this still a controversial topic?

Two insightful guests help Beyond Binary Thinking finally broach, one of our more polemic topics.

The Social Media Dilemma Featuring PeteyVid's Crag Stadler

Social Media Giants promised a revolution in how we would communicate and form communities.

The promise of the Arab Spring has been tainted by genocides in Myanmar, and Ethiopia, accelerated by dictator sponsored Facebook ads.

The technological revolution built on innovation has grown so monopolistic, that few dare to build close to Google's "kill-zone".

We talk to PeteyVid's Craig Stadler about alternative, how David takes on Godzilla, why song covers get taken down quicker than ISIS beheadings, and whether regulation will hurt the big monopolies, or help them.

Polish Protests: What Is Going On?

Content Warning: Abortion, Blasphemy, and Revolution.

We spoke to Gabriel to get a handle on what's happening with women's rights, politics, protests, and the Catholic Church in Poland.

Funny, alarming, enlightening, and disturbing. If you wondered WTF is going on in Poland, I'd recommend you check out this frank discussion.

Anti-PiS protest song by an activist currently in prison for speaking against the current government:

How I hate you so much
How much I hate you
How much I despise you
probably just as much as you despised me

So sing along together!
You need to say fuck you to PiS
and you need not to be afraid of them
and in the face of the adversity, you must strike

PiS politician is a whore above all whores
And that is how their brotherhood works
PiS politician is stealing millions...
...just to give it to the church

So sing along together!...

Steelmanning Capitalism and Rebranding Bernie with Real Politik

Can a few minor tweaks to our current system make the world a much better place? We tried to steelman Capitalism and Democracy, and ended up with Mr. Koch holding court with some practical changes grounded in political and economic theory that none could argue with. Another wonderful crossover with the Real Politik gents, and a very impressive guest.

Polite Political Discourse and Activism in America

The DMC, Biden, and Trump are barely mentioned while we have a frank discussion on the future of American politics with a former Conservative, and a former Bernie or Buster, both of whom have changed their minds several times in recent years, and spend time reaching across the aisle to people with differing political opinions having seen the benefit of getting involved in local politics.
