  • Irrelevant

    A wanna be, a gadfly. Martinson wants to be a player but he is a minor character in a play he barely understands. Silly perspectives from a person wanting to be more than he is.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Mass Deception - How (And Why) The Fourth Estate Is Failing the Country
Q: How would a change be achieved given the current incentives?
By organizing a third way—anti-corruption and anti-trust activism led by credible voices outside the traditional two-party framework, pressuring for accountability and redesigning incentives toward truthful, independent reporting.
Mass Deception - How (And Why) The Fourth Estate Is Failing the Country
Q: Do you agree media's failing? And how do you know that?
Yes, the media is failing, and the why is rooted in economics: fear of losing access, reliance on advertising, and the bundling of content that protects legacy institutions rather than serving the public with hard-hitting truths.
Is It Too Late? Here's What Former CIA Senior Operations Officer Jim Erdman Thinks
Q: Why did you join and why did you leave the CIA?
He describes joining out of a mix of patriotism and personal opportunity, not a grand plan, and reflects on leaving amid moral and governance concerns, particularly around COVID-era policies and accountability.
Understanding the Stark Difference Between Passive Investing and an Active Risk-Managed Strategy
Q: All right, very quickly, pros and cons of passive investing, pros and cons of risk-managed investing.
Passive investing offers low fees and tax efficiency with historically positive returns over long horizons, but it lacks downside protection and may underperform during major drawdowns; risk-managed investing can reduce downside risk and adapt to changing conditions, but may underperform in irrational or strongly bullish periods and requires discipline and active monitoring.
Ignorance Will Not Be Bliss: Spotting the Risks and Opportunities Begins With Being Informed
Q: What role does technology, especially AI, play in your business today?
AI is used to streamline maintenance, accounting, and customer service, enabling operations with fewer staff while improving the customer experience and data-driven decision making.
