@ mentioning TUH on the podcast, right when the 9/11 segment popped off....

And the podcast is on podomatic now.......

I just PMed the admin to put it up on the sidebar. PodOmatic | Best Free Podcasts Here you go y'all.

TUH been mad as fukk on the board lately for some reason, lmao. Maybe 9/11's anniversary reminded him of his tours.

No disrespect, but you're right. I called that out after the first podcast, and said of course a Hip Hop audience would like you. You're anti-institution, the facts are secondary.

Let me put it like this, on the podcast, you're Mos Def, Lupe Fiasco and to a lesser extent my man Nas, you have all that passion and emotion and may be "self-learned" but it doesn't equate to an actual, all-encompassing understanding of the minutia of an issue. It's easy to posture, but harder to deal with realities and application of your principles to real world situations.

You argue in a simplified world and argue using abstractions, when pressed for detailed factual information, you come up short. Unlike VVD, who will say "I'm no pro on this subject." NOW, your energy is probably the best part of the podcast. Which is why I was initially for deciding topics ahead of time and having people at least brief themselves and read up before the topic. It would make the podcast stronger. That's my two cents.

Dawg, you a cool cat and all. I like energy and emotion you bring to the show, but you get sonned on average, 2.5 times per show. At times, i feel like just shaking you (no homo)on some are you talking about especially when you start dissing science for not researching certain topics, which is an oxymoron because if you googled the topic, you'd more than likely see, a series of studies being done. For example, the neuroscience field is booming with research being done on consciousness. I'm no econ or fiance major but i can only image your ramblings on science mimic economics topics......

i may mis-speak at times but it is what it is

at the end of the day when it comes to the issues of politics and economics yall are ignorant to the fact that a privatized central banking system and a bunch of two-faced politicians are habitually lying to our faces and running our country to the brink of collapse... yall nagas is idiots b

and i definitely exaggerated my stance on science and consciousness, but even so, science can study all the neurons and synapse connections they want but they'll never truly grasp the origins or nature of consciousness with their current paradigm because consciousness does not even originate in this density/dimension. i see ima have to go ol school harry potter in this bish.

i dont even want yall to respond to this post, just bring it to the next podcast

 

[Black smoke and cac jokes]

"You can have a mob easily in those countries"

I really need to be on these podcasts/discussions

EXACTLY! Rationalizing terrorism is the wrong approach, love that comment. I'm going to bed now, good points!

lol I had a strange exchange with TUH last night , he's convinced he had some right to get on in the last 10 minutes and we were scuttling his chances. Next time buddy.

You guys did another podcast last night?

We need a thread to plan the next joint.

See I didn't grow up thinking creationism and evolution are necessarily contrary to each other (they're kinda different spheres of thought) so maybe that's why I don't see why protecting science textbooks requires abrogating everyone's faith. I mean the Catholic church is happy to believe in evolution too right, so there's something very American about this particular strand of young earth "men rode on dinosaurs" creationism

Intelligent design got very forceful pushback when they were putting it .. man it's been a while which school board was it.. even overruled by a court. The 10 commandments in front of a court fiasco was another example of strong pushback. Keeping science focused on evidence and maintaining the first amendment separation of church/state has broad support in the country. Especially cause there are multiple faiths and sects so in the end you can't pick which version (jewish? christian? jehovah's witness?) to be pushing.

If keeping evolution out of textbooks requires on the other hand attacking the faith of everyone in such a coalition you're creating a very small group of hardcore empiricists vs everyone else

Now a new atheist might say, well, if that's what's required we'll start a small movement and grow it. My other point there was that there's really no such thing as a pure Reason-based philosophy. Social behavior is eventually judgement based and arbitrary. Take religion out of the picture (as it is in most of the discussions people have on contentious matters) and you still have the same types of beefs and human behaviors remaining

My bigger beef with them of course is their ventures into transnational social commentary. They're just not qualified or understand what goes on in world societies. And so even if you're an uncompromising atheist the fact that you're a white british male can create blind spots. To wit, something I read a few minutes ago on here:

I don't know what you're discussing with the other poster but you have beef with an atheist weighing in on international politics? Non-british non-white female natives create less blindspots?

You know my steeze at this point, until I see at least 3 people say they're in, I'm chilling. Too many false alarms. BTW, newark streamed their joint live on youtube. I could look into that for you guys if you want. But I'm very busy right now so I'm not someone to look to if you want that done ASAP.

Nobody ever commits to doing the show until the planning thread is up. Every time you create one, people discuss coming on and we've never had less than 3 people.

In the past, your steez has always been to put up the thread for the next one after one is finished and we plan it there. Did something change?

Actually, I've put them up after you or someone else specifically asked me for basically the last 3 or 4. I guess you just didn't know that. I always left it open for people to discuss the contents of the podcast. It just doesn't happen as much as it did with the first 3 or 4.

But hey, if you guys want it, I can put it up soon. It's not my podcast

Well pretty please with sugar on top, can you make a thread for #9?

People sleeping on this episode, though. There was no one getting "sonned" or "exposed," but it was a very intellectual and provocative discussion.

You didn't have to do all that.

I was trying to give your podcast more play because once this thread isn't upped. No one will discuss anything about it. I was trying to give you a week to let each marinate, but

You could've kept both of them upped. Apparently back and forth heated arguments and dudes getting sonned gets more attention and people talking than calm, insightful discussion, just like the mainstream media.

Nah, that's too many upped threads. I'd do it if Kalik's thread about his niece wasn't up there.
