TFS 8 – Feng Shui, O and A Origins, and talking Talking Heads

As I swing in right after a major organizational effort I introudce Mr. Money Moustache’s concept of hedonic adaptation somewhat (eh..) accurately. I then go on to discuss the participation trophy trope and how puzzlingly popular it remains among right wing blowhards. I then launch into a wholesale investigation of blowhards (ok I’m giving myself too much credit but I get a good peek into the world of hot air) and blowhardiness in general.

Who the fuck cares what Joe Rogan is reading?

Fractal Radio | Episode 19 – Pundits Disease

On By Alex V. WeirIn Philosophy, UncategorizedLeave a comment

Public discourse is vital to a free and open society. Effective public discourse faces many challenges. One such challenge is Pundits Disease – moralizing about pet issues from a high tower.

Pundits and commentators whether mainstream or independent tend to be removed from direct involvement in what they are discussing. A position that leads them to cover vague notions more than they do the practical application of those notions.

A huge problem with this trend is that it dwarves huge issues behind a cloud of hot air and trendy topics.
