The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result. Host David Gornoski recalls his visit to the zoo and likens the statist media establishment to a caged llama walking in a fixed daily pattern. David urges us to break out of the feedback loop of circular violence and imitate the good Samaritan from Jesus' parable. Who is our neighbor today? Should we care for what's trending or for what's right? It's time to break out of the political faction-warfare and imitate the One who transcends all political ideologies.

Former Editor in Chief of Psychology Today, Dr. Robert Epstein, Harvard PhD, joins us to talk about his stunning work on Google and social media manipulation and election interference.

"Seventy percent of the YouTube videos people watch are just handed to them by Google." Also brought up in the interview are YouTube's censoring tactics and the tech company's history of silencing dissident voices.

On the news surrounding the death of George Floyd: "We don't need dehumanizing laws, we need repentance." Also, technologist Dr. Max Fomitchev-Zamilov and physicist Dr. Weiping Yu join the show to reflect on the recently postponed SpaceX crewed launch, the mission to go to Mars, and the surprisingly little innovation in the sphere of rocket propulsion.

Dr. Berry debunks bad advises given out by so-called experts and argues that consumption of meat has frequently proven to be effective in building strong immunity and fighting disease. "Like what Hippocrates said and hypocrites fail to follow," David remarks, "let food be thy medicine."

Plus, state senator Joe Gruters calls in to discuss the media backlash against the state of Florida for taking a lighter approach to the pandemic and how the Sunshine State is finally getting back to work.

In this episode, David Gornoski rips into the pseudo-scientific food pyramid promoted by the state. David vigorously argues that due to the government's quackery we've been suffering from a plethora of diseases including this current virus. "Separate state from cure!" Also, conservative commentator Anthony Brian Logan calls in to discuss Joe Biden's 'You Ain't Black' comment. "This is something you'd expect from Biden," says Logan as he reflects on the lack of diversity of opinion on the left. The left, Logan argues, is insistent on radically redefining words such as 'racism' and 'gender' so that their own discrimination remains hidden. Listen to the full episode for all this and more!

"One of the ways we get rid of the malaise in our society and culture is by ending forever wars." Danny Sjursen, writer and war veteran, joins us to explain why war has become largely invisible to the people of our nation. "Memorial day to me feels like a wretched day in a lot of sense," says Sjursen who also feels that the holiday has been mythologized to cover up for mass sacrifice perpetuated by the war machine. Sjursen also brings to attention the ongoing escalations with Iran, Venezuela, and elsewhere which he calls 'pandemic opportunism.' Listen to the full episode for an epic deconstruction of the sacrificial war machine, a clarion call to bring our troops home, and more on A Neighbor's Choice.
