The AK47 Podcast Season 1: Episode 3

Aaron's description of the episode.

I (Aaron) have on Philosophy Professor Mark Boone to discuss William James and Augustine, faith, empiricism, and some other stuff.

Check out his work page for all the relevant articles.

Most importantly though check out his youtube channel.

And also check out ricochet.com. It's the best conservative discussion on the internet.

PS: I make a comment about Sam Harris being a practicing Buddhist, that is strictly speaking not true. I'm going to do either an article or an episode discussing what is about the statement soon.

March for Life Obscurred by Identity Politics

On January 18 the New York Times daily podcast, named arrogantly enough THE Daily, discussed the current state of the so called women’s march. Unfortunately what could have been a productive conversation about “Women’s issues” in America became bogged down in a discussion about intersectionality. It started off on an extremely bad foot as Michael Barbaro opened with:

“After the divisiveness of the 2016 election the women’s march became a historic symbol of unity.”

The women’s march was, if anything, the apotheosis of 2016’s divisiveness. It was the American left at its most Trumpian. Only an elite institution like the NYT could be this insulated from truth. Because the women’s march was a celebrity circus of nonsense. An incoherent rabble of moronic diatribes about “nasty women” “pussy hats” “period blood” and further perpetuation of the ubiquitous myth of a gender wage gap. The climactic moment, that encapsulated the utter bourgeois putrescence of the entire sordid affair, was surely when Madonna said:

“I have thought an awful lot about blowing up the White House.”

The AK47 Podcast Season 2: Episode 2

Aaron and I risk our careers to talk about a very controversial figure, Milo Yiannopoulos.  We are giving commentary on the recent Eric Metaxas show that Milo appeared in.  We talk about the strange disconnect between Milo's beliefs about homosexuality and his lifestyle, how hosts interact with guests on interview shows, whether or not Milo is really conservative, and a host of other issues.

Listen to the episode here.

Metaxas' interview with Milo can be found here.

The AK47 Podcast Season 2: Episode 1

Aaron's description of the episode

We're starting off season two with a BANG! Mark Hemingway (formerly of the murdered Weekly Standard) graced us with his presence. Not physically of course, but Spiritually. We discuss being married to women who make more money than us, free markets, social values, and get some amazing musical recommendations. The Hemingways are notorious music snobs, which means when they recommend stuff its good. 

The Music recommendations were: 

S. Carey

Big Red Machine

Robbie Robertson, specifically his self titled album from 1987

The Blue Nile

And the Portlandia article can be found here

Also Mark sent me the quotation he couldn't remember, and its pretty epic: 

"One is reminded of an observation of the philosopher Rémi Brague. “Faith produces its effects only so long as it remains faith and not calculation,” Brague wrote in the 1990s. “We owe European civilization to people who believed in Christ, not to people who believed in Christianity.”" - Reflections on the Revolution in Europe by Christopher Caldwell
