The Blindspot

Thoughts on the Biden Situation

President Biden has decided not to seek his party's nomination due to concerns among Democrats about his chances of winning. This unprecedented move, not seen since the 1960s, has a lot of implications. In this episode of the Blindspot, I recap the political situation so far, explain the current state of the race, and discuss what might happen next. Who will be the Democratic nominee? Join me as I dive into these questions and more. Tune in for my thoughts on this historic moment and what it means for the future of the country.

My Two Cents on Recent Events

On the latest episode of The Blind Spot, I dive into the whirlwind of political news from the past three weeks in the United States. We start with Joe Biden's disastrous debate performance, followed by the frantic attempts at damage control. You'll hear about the growing calls from Democratic members of Congress and party elites for Biden to drop out, and his staunch refusal so far. I also cover the shocking attempted assassination of Donald Trump, his speech at the RNC, and reactions to the left-wing media coverage. Tune in for my thoughts on this chaotic situation. Enjoy!

Democracy Redux

Unsatisfied with my earlier discussion of the value of democracy, in this episode I approach the same subject in a different way. Enjoy!

A Defense of Democracy

In response to many of my friends criticizing aspects of their own democratic governments I've responded with my thoughts on why I think democracy is the best of a series of worse alternatives.

The Next Episode

I begin the show by talking about a friend of mine's negative attitudes towards the concept of rearing children, and then I have no idea what I talked about, but I do know that I continued to talk for some time, and got through another show, so, there's that. Enjoy.

Just another Deadbeat with a Podcast

Out of all the episodes of my show that I've done with no guest, this is the one I think is the best so far. Take a listen, and enjoy!

All the Things on My Mind Today

On today's episode of the Blindspot, I begin by discussing why the United States should not be a member of the International Criminal Court, which segues into a broader discussion of my thoughts on international law. I then transition into talking about former president Trump's Trial in New York on charges that he used Michael Cohen as a go between to pay hush money to the pornstar Stormy Daniels which is a violation of campaign finance law. I point out that Mr. Trump must have the most high stakes life in the entire world. I then transition to a discussion of why wokeism is a horrible solution for fixing racial disparities in the United States. Enjoy!

Why I am not a Republican

Some of my good friends have, with differing degrees of seriousness  said to me recently that I am a closeted Republican. Annoyed by their mistaken conclusions, I attempt to outline some of my views on major political issues, from the social safety net, healthcare, immigration, abortion, transgender issues, guns, Donald Trump, and several other topics. I don't know if I helped my case or proved theirs, but either way, enjoy this latest episode!

The Not too Distant Future

In this episode of The Blind Spot, we kick off with L.P. Hartley's idea that "the past is a foreign country," pointing out that the future is too, except we don't know how yet. I make four bold predictions about what's on the horizon, covering global conflict, geopolitical shifts, political upheaval, and the game-changing impact of generative AI. Through detailed explanations and thought-provoking musings, I explore how these potential realities might unfold and what they could mean for all of us. Don't miss this exploration of what could be just around the corner. Enjoy!

A Blind Man on Blindness

On today's episode of The Blindspot, I delve into a topic I don't often discuss: blindness. Many people are curious about how I perceive the world, so I explain how I navigate my environment and identify objects. I describe how I recognize things by sound, smell, and touch, covering every aspect of blindness that comes to mind. While sharing these insights, I also cook dinner to show how I handle household tasks. Enjoy the show!
