137: Biden to Announce new Gun Violence Office

Talk Back to MeOn Thursday, the 22nd of September 2023, the Biden Administration announced that a new Office of Gun Violence Prevention would come into being under the guidance of then Vice President Kamala Harris. This arrives soon after the Governor of New Mexico decreed that the citizens in and around Albuquerque were subject to a suspension of their right to bear arms, open or concealed. What happened in New Mexico drew attention, and after the backlash, instead of rescinding the order, Governor Grisham stated that she would be "dialing back" the limitations of the order. With that as context, this new move by the Biden White House appears partially planned, and fully partisan, as the persons identified to be part of this office hail from exclusively far-left organizations. Measures include normal talking points regarding assault weapons bans, safe storage, and increased background checks, while including increasing police activities on the matter. Support the REDACTED Culture Cast at redactedculture.locals.comSSP and boutique products at redactedllc.comFollow us on Instagram at @redactedllc

135: Summoning Demons for MultiCulturalism

Talk Back to MeWhile the utopia of Multiculturalism tempts with ideas as thorough as us "all getting along," it quickly breaks down in the real world when faced with conflicting worldviews and their consequences. While the subject has been addressed in the past, it is worth revisiting, as we once again witness the consequences of abandoning the very foundation necessary to produce that often-desired-but-never-realized ideal of a world in harmony despite our differences. When the Walker Art Center hosted a family-friendly demon summoning, it revealed the worldviews of those responsible. However, since we do not live in a vacuum, we may use this event as key example for considering how we think about society, culture, metaphysics, and its consequences. Support the REDACTED Culture Cast at redactedculture.locals.comSSP and boutique products at redactedllc.comFollow us on Instagram at @redactedllc

133: The Overton Window and Its Consequences

Talk Back to MeThe Overton Window gets referenced most in political and social conversation, and it refers to the spectrum of socially acceptable norms in a given society. This places it squarely in the realm of political philosophy. And the recent event of the New Mexico Governor's executive order suspending citizen's right to carry a firearm lands as the perfect example to discuss this subject and its ramifications. My observation of the current window places impeaching the governor not on the fringes, but in the center. And normative nature of this has its consequences. Support the REDACTED Culture Cast at redactedculture.locals.comSSP and boutique products at redactedllc.comFollow us on Instagram at @redactedllc

132: Choice and The Law of Excluded Middle

Talk Back to MeOne of the three fundamental laws that dictate formal logic is the law of excluded middle. In propositional logic it looks like this:A v ~AA or not AIn life, this looks like choice. When we are faced with a decision, we have the option to make a choice, or abdicate that choice. But what we don't have before us is the option to opt out. Support the REDACTED Culture Cast at redactedculture.locals.comSSP and boutique products at redactedllc.comFollow us on Instagram at @redactedllc

131: Exhortation: The Government Betrayed You, So What?

Talk Back to MeWith great passion, people across the internet and the world will try to convince us not to trust the government. To some, this is a novel concept, but not to many. The assumption that we can trust something as vast and complicated as the government as a whole is itself a head-scratcher. At the same time, from time to time, and for some, with increasing rapidity, we are seeing a breakdown of trust between the citizens and their government. To end there, however, is to be consumed by cynicism. Even when we are betrayed by one person, does it justify that we throw out all trust for all mankind?And this applies to worldviews and beliefs as well. When we see the cracks in our own worldview, do we abandon any pursuit of a firm foundation?That is the message in this Monday Exhortation: what to do when a failed foundation collapses beneath us. Support the REDACTED Culture Cast at redactedculture.locals.comSSP and boutique products at redactedllc.comFollow us on Instagram at @redactedllc
