David Gornoski

David Gornoski starts off the show by commenting on Trump's remarks about his recovery from COVID and the media reaction to his interaction with supporters. "Trump cares too much about the media," David says. "The corporate press are the PR firms for the establishment." One does not need to agree with Donald Trump to see that the corporate press deals with propaganda and fear-mongering. How do we break the spell cast by the monotonous drones of the media? How do we pull ourselves away from the fake science and food pyramid pushed by government-subsidized institutions? Listen to the full episode to find out and more.

David Gornoski addresses the prevalent postmodern critique of traditional values such as the family, gender roles, and chivalry. "It's a rebellion against nature, against boundaries. Differentiation becomes evil and violence becomes passé." David argues that political correctness is not just an "idea" but also a religious movement that has, in some sense, rightly identified social imbalances. The question is: what are those imbalances and how do we address them? Listen to the full episode to find out and more.

David Gornoski comments on the news that President Donald Trump and his wife has tested positive for the COVID virus. Also in the show, Alec Klein and Eric Kampmann return to the show with another segment of Trail Thoughts. Eric talks about his hiking experiences and the important lessons he has derived from them. Alec agrees with Eric on the need to view our lives as stories or pieces of art. What do we do when we feel lost and when we can't make it on our own? How do we find our identities in today's highly politicized world?

Michael Rectenwald, author of Beyond Woke, and mathematician James Lindsay, author of Cynical Theories, join David Gornoski to address a certain subject that was brought up during the presidential debate by Chris Wallace, namely Critical Race Theory. What is this ideology that has crept into the universities? James Lindsay says, "this ideology that we're up against today has cherry picked from the critical theory tradition, from the postmodern tradition, liberal traditions of social justice, [and] liberalism itself to concoct a rather horrifying totalitarian ideology that we've worked backwards to explain." Is Critical Race Theory just racial sensitivity training as Wallace claimed? Michael Rectenwald says it goes further than just that. "Rather than seeing race as one aspect of society... it sees race as an all-determining totality that reaches into every aspect and informs all experience." How does this ideology shape the human psyche? Why does it exclude the need for evidence and logic? How do we tackle this ideology? How can we formulate a genuine alternative to Critical Race Theory that deals with real injustice and helps real victims? Listen to the full podcast to find out.

How did scientists manage to measure the total amount of matter in the universe? Dr. Weiping Yu returns for another segment of Science and U to answer this question. The physicist also comments on the news that NASA is planning to make nuclear fusion commercial and on the update of Michael Lisanti's project to beat cancer with metastasis prevention.

Why are the masses falling prey to a media that acts as the establishment's PR front? David Gornoski argues that the problem exists because of the void that is intended to be filled by non-violent, innovative role models who can revolutionize science, technology, and other spheres without the need for coercion. How do we foster a community of innovators in a world filled with people squabbling over political scraps? How do we get that creative mentality back from the dungeons of the establishment?

Why wasn't criminal justice discussed in the debate? Amy Povah and Anrica Caldwell join David Gornoski to discuss this important question as well as the pandemic exposure in prisons across the country. Amy also highlights how Biden has, in his career, repeatedly struck down any hope of criminal justice reform and helping the victims of the drug war. Plus, Chalana McFarland, a first time offender who has served 15 years in prison, calls in to describe her home-confinement situation and her continuing fight for clemency. Keith Weiner of Monetary Metals calls in to give us a rundown on the debate. Is there a way to unleash the market innovations that could overwhelm the anti-civilization forces in government intervention? Listen to the full episode to find out and more.

As expected, nothing of value was discussed in the Trump-Biden debate. David Gornoski points to how the mainstream media's twisted narrative was well represented by Chris Wallace's woeful moderating. How will this debate impact our subconsciousness that identifies with the visuals? Will there ever be a discussion of real solutions, like curing cancer and other diseases, on the political stage? All the status quo cares about is getting rid of the heretic that has managed to gain control of the highest seat in the country. Listen to the full episode for David Gornoski's breakdown of the debate and what must be done to escape this neverending mimetic crisis of blame-shifting.

David Gornoski resumes his exposition of the election media coverage that has mostly focused on Trump's taxes but has failed to mention anything about Biden and Harris' record of warmongering and locking up non-violent offenders. "The 1619 project is nothing but a sleight of hand," David says as he points to the real problems like the media failing to hold their favorite politicians accountable and Big Tech censoring dissident voices online. What can't we expect from the debate? We won't hear about any real solutions like too-cheap-to-meter energy, ketogenic nutrition to counter diseases, and other voluntary market-based innovations.
