  • Worth saying I am sort of playing devils advocate here.

    Change it to what? It is easy to back seat yell “Capitalism Bad” but change to what? Every other isim has it’s own laundry list of issues. Which one is least corruptible by sosciopaths?

    You don’t think sosciopaths are going to take more than there fair share in socialism, or skew the system over time? They aren’t going to find their may to the top in every single form of government to change the rules to their desires?

    Quite a few will argue that we aren’t even in capatalisim any more, it has been corrupted and changed, massaged by “government” to the point of failure, the Austrian school of economics.

    So it is easy to stand on the roof top and say “Capitalism is the problem” but it seems like a much deeper rot to me











  • Tangentially Speaking by Chris Ryan.

    He interviews interesting people, some famous, most not. The latest episode was with a guy he happened to meet at a party and thought he had an interesting story.

    As the name implies he is very happy to go off on tangents, so the episodes can end up in topics you never would have guessed from the guest description.

    Word of warning he does tend to talk for about 30 minutes at the start of every episode. I personally enjoy it but I know others who it annoys.
