We've been away a while, but we're back and working on new episodes. In the meantime, here are our thoughts from last summer about the Dobbs decision when it was first handed down.
While most discussions of liberty center on government power, the subject of Mill's essay is the nature and limits of society's power over the individual. Society exercises control over the individual through prevailing opinion. Mill also argues that... more
We're back from summer hiatus! In this episode, we talked about conservatism and the news business with reporter Anthony Hennen.
Goldberg explains that fascism is an offshoot of socialism and, rather than being conservative, is just another variety of far-left thought.
No one will deny that the hosts are thinking at a high level, and they strive for charity, which I can’t say for many conservatives (and liberals) today. Their blind spots about their blind spots are problematic, though, and they end up demonizing progressives by using really lazy generalizations and extreme examples.

Keep up the goo... more
Thanks for doing the podcast-I enjoy listening to your educational commentary. I begun bouncing around picking Episodes (10 or so) of interest but decided to go back to E1 and make a study of conservatism using the podcast as a study guide. To see how far we have fallen from 1960 Goldwater, to then see how much further we have descended just since 2018, is shocking. I also thought it would be interesting to hear your commentary on the Trump years through the podcasts. Thanks, looking forward... more
