Real scepticism has never been tried

November 30, 2022 Andrew Elliott 01:39:45

Population growth is slowing, but is that evidence of a long campaign to depopulate the earth? Or is it just the continued development of poorer countries?

Nic gets tangled up with some creationists which leads to a discussion on purity tests and more examples of Elliotts’ Laws.

And who is giving scepticism a bad name?

Audience Capture, Vaccine Absolutism and Rediscovering Ancient Technology

November 22, 2022 Andrew Elliott 01:28:34

PLEASE NOTE: THE FIRST EDITION OF THIS PODCAST DID NOT UPLOAD CORRECTLY. PLEASE DELETE AND DOWNLOAD AGAIN IF NECESSARY.

This episode Andrew begins with asking the question: Do we want people to share this podcast? He gives a few reasons why he’s been asking himself this for a couple of weeks now and we chat through why we may not want these podcasts to go viral.

We then talk a little about a ridiculous new slur: vaccine absolutist. It’s been doing the rounds on Twitter. Have you heard it?

Then, the main bulk of the podcast is a discussion on different ways to generate energy, based in part on the recent Joe Rogan podcast with Graham Hancock and Randall Carlson. There are links below to both the podcast episode and also to Graham Hancock’s recent Netflix series (which includes both Joe and Randall). We encourage you to watch both.

White Pills

November 14, 2022 Andrew Elliott 01:20:57

This episode, we focus on the positive things that are happening in the world. From sound politicians (in other countries) to crypto currencies to vaccine hesitancy (and a few more, besides).

It’s easy to focus on the negatives, but this week we hope to lighten your mood by discussing a multitude of stories that, while some may at first seem negative, can only lead to positive outcomes overall.

F***wit or Fiend

October 29, 2022 Andrew Elliott 02:01:55

This episode Andrew starts with a quick correction, another amusing rock, then on to the main event after a few minutes: A brand new game…

Can Nic tell the difference between evil and idiocy?

A History Of Violence

September 27, 2022 Andrew Elliott 01:53:29

Have you wondered how government became the way it is? In this episode, I take a look at the history of the state. How states came into being and how they morphed into the totalitarian juggernauts they are today.

We also answer a question about voluntaryism from one of our listeners and talk a little about delicious rocks.

What Will You Tolerate?

September 13, 2022 Andrew Elliott 01:51:12

You probably think the government does some good things. It’s why you vote.

You might think that at least some regulation is needed to prevent sub standard goods entering the market place. Possibly you think that the state is the only mechanism for courts, the police and… roads.

Perhaps you think the safety net of the NHS and income support can only be provided by government.

If so, just what are you willing to tolerate?

How many bad things can the government do before you say no?

How many lives have to be destroyed by lockdowns?

How many wars need to be started?

How many children need to be starved to death in Yemen?

I ask again. What will you tolerate?

Can you be a centrist on everything?

August 19, 2022 Andrew Elliott 01:26:32

Is it possible to have a moderate/centrist view on a conspiracy theory?

How about something as simple as food? Are vegans and carnivore the extremists and omnivores to sensible centrists?

We discuss spectra other than the classic political left/right axis and whether there are any other nuanced, moderate positions that we might hold.

Balance signalling

August 7, 2022 Nic Elliott 01:49:53

Why are some people sound on some topics yet catastrophic on others

Is it a deliberate tactic to not get branded a conspiracy theorist? Is it a form of signalling?

In this podcast we try to get to the bottom of this strange but common phenomenon before talking about vaccines, political journeys and the difference between being green and being good for the environment.

Why now?

August 5, 2022 Nic Elliott 01:47:04

The world economy is collapsing. But why would the vice wielders, those that pull the strings of governments, the media & big corporations, want to destroy what they’ve spent decades, even hundreds of years creating?

And why now? The last two and half years have seen a rapid acceleration in the sheer force of what the cathedral are willing to push. Is there a reason why governments are going full totalitarian in the 20s.?

Bodily Autonomy, Bugs, Birth Rates, Bicyclism and Blax Cuts

July 14, 2022 Andrew Elliott 02:25:00

Today’s episode is brought to you by the letter “B”. Not intentionally, but a few topics started with it and we managed to crowbar a few more in.

We start off with the repeal of Roe v Wade and ask why pro choice libertarians don’t seem to think moving decisions closer to the people they affact is a good idea. Andrew has an idea to kill two birds with one stone: shutting the left up about reparations whilst proving how good tax cuts can be.

Unfortunatel, we couldn’t not talk about the plumeting birth rates all over Europe and talk a little about just how statistically improbable the rate of change is, showing just how serious a position society is in.

While we’re in a dark place, we discuss eating bugs. A topic that never seems to go away. Nic completely refuses to even entertain the idea although Andrew toys with the idea of eating a bug burger, if it’s delicious enough.

Finally, Andrew gets a few things off his chest with regards to cyclists…
