Marine And The Hippie 220620 S02E17- Is Inflation Real Or Not? The Marine And The Hippie podcast

24:20

In this dialogue, we discuss a recent story about a woman who has tuburculosis and refuses treatment for her disease. She has been dragged into court 16 times because she is knowingly spreading the disease, a treatable but deadly disease in her community. The discussion turns to the tension between civil liberties and civic duty. At what point does one's personal freedom end? At what point does a society have an obligation to lock a threat to public wealth, welfare and order away to prevent them from harming the community? At what point does a person who flouts any sense of civic duty lose their liberty? All these questions are raised in this discussion about modern society, where we pay attention only to liberty and do not seem to be interested in performing our duty to others around us.

Marine and the Hippie 230221- Subscriptions 24:34

2 years之前24:34

24:34

In this dialogue, we discuss subscriptions, and specifically the economic model of people paying exorbitant amounts of money for services, without actually owning anything. While this dialogue focuses on subscriptions for online services and streaming services, it can also extend to things like rent, where some wealthy property owner can charge you to live in a domicile that you do not own. And the model itself approximates an extortion racket: When you buy in, the provider of the "service" feels free to cause you problems at cheaper levels and then offers to solve the problem if you pay them more money. There is significant pushback in the society to withdrawing from that economic model by people who themselves have bought in, because your participation in the society where everyone is being taken advantage of is called into question through withdrawal: People stigmatize homelessness, and while homelessness can be hard, it can also be kind of rewarding simply by you not passing your wealth off to the property owning class.

In this dialogue, we discuss the inability of Americans to laugh at themselves. We take a lot of people to task, but focus primarily on the ridiculousness around the anti-trans/ anti-gay Right, who will call different lifestyles and identities aberrant and repulsive, and still listen to music about gay men finding partners in public showers and hanging bronzed testicles on the back of their trucks. We further discuss implications for this refusal to simply live and let live and an utter contempt for a civic mindedness which puts the good of the nation ahead of one's own personal likes or dislikes, and suggest that it will lead to the rise of a new serfdom or slavery in the US.

2 years之前23:12

23:12

In this dialogue, we discuss the implication of the development of AI technology. On the one hand, AI technology can theoretically save labor and allow people to devote more time and energy to other things in their lives. On the other hand, it will allow employers to pocket more profit through the cutting of labor costs. Furthermore, it opens up more problems for teachers who are trying to encourage their students to learn how to write: Students can spend money to buy papers composed by the AI chatbots, and while this is technically not copying, given that AI Chatbot is written in the student's own voice, it still does not mean that the student actually did any of the work on the project. AI technology is here to stay, and so now we need to learn how to live in the society where it is constantly present. Contact us at marineandhippie@gmail.com and @marine_hippie at Twitter.

25:57

In this dialogue, we discuss whether or not we have morality. Morality is a system of moral rules, which can either come from some external source, or from our own rules about how we want to live in the world. While the question about the existence of morality is controversial, if we do have morality, does that create an ethical obligation for us? Do we owe it to our society to act morally, and to create a better world than the one we inherited? The question remains open even after the discussion.

27:04

In this dialogue, the failure of post modern education, in the US specifically, but across the world more generally, to promote excellence, or even standards in education. The notion that all deserve education is both a good and bad thing. On the one hand, universal education has led to lifting millions out of superstition and ignorance, and has allowed them to advance in technology, art, music and science. On the other hand, it has created a one-size-fits-all model which is simply inappropriate for a number of people, especially those whose aptitudes lie in other directions, and the insistence that these individuals remain in the same educational system as those who actually want to learn and have the ability to excel in class tends to draw resources from the students who care enough and have the ability to learn. But the issue is not "not education" or "private home school" but taking the priorities of industry and putting them on the back burner to restore a sense of education as a dialogue between teacher and student.

In this dialogue, we discuss the rise of the new King in Great Britain. While the world shows deference and obeisance to the new monarch, we deconstruct monarchy and touch on how the royal family became who they are. Royals are who they are because they are the most brutal murderers, rapists, and conquerors on the planet The foundation of all thrones is made of the bones of those who opposed, so that while the world sees a monarch drinking tea with her pinkie pointed in the air, it is difficult to remember that sheer brutality is what put her in her place to begin with.

22:40

In this dialogue, we talk about the refusal of decisionmakers to adequately address the problems that are facing our society. While our society bleeds out, the politicians choose to offer policies that do not even address the problem, and are built in a way that are guaranteed to fail in our political process. But the goal is not to actually solve any problems, we find, but to make it look like they are paying attention and care about the people. What it really amounts to is that society is more or less bleeding out, and all our political leaders are doing are offering bandaids. This of course will lead instead to a complete loss of our society if something is not done Contact us at marineandhippie@gmail.com and @marine_hippie at Twitter.

22:01

In this dialogue, we talk about inflation: Whether it is real or manufactured. To make a long story short, we explain how inflation is driven not by uncontrollable factors in the economy, but by conscious decisions made by producers to set prices at "whatever people will pay", and then use this crisis as a way to take even more money from society than they already do, as well as their allies in the government who, instead of helping people, they help the well connected rob us all blind. This great robbery is then blamed on poor people as a method of justifying further refusal to help poor people get access to basic services.

19:42

In this dialogue, we the gun crisis in the US. In the aftermath of the deadly school shooting in Uvalde Texas, as well as other mass shootings across the country, it is clear that there is a gun problem in the US. The numbers suggest that the reason people claim they want to keep firearms, justifiable, legal intervention in protection of life and limb, constitute a tiny percentage of firearm deaths, while the vast majority of death caused by firearms is either homicide, suicide or negligence. In place of the pell mell, laissez faire attitude that we have in the US toward firearms, and in opposition to the "ban all guns" attitude held by ignorant Americans, what we should do is regulate firearms like we do cars, and then train gun owners on safety and responsible ownership of firearms. Only then can we get buy in from actual gun owners and help from them to pass legislation and policy that would increase safety in the US.

Marine and the Hippie 220529 S02E15- The Great Baby Formula Shortage of 2022 21:29

3 years之前21:29

21:29

In this dialogue, we the Great Baby Formula Shortage of 2022. At some point there were policy decisions made that led to such a bottleneck in supply of baby formula, and created a panic among parents who insist that their children all need an ultra rare form of baby formula or their children will starve to death. But much of this is being driven by companies who make money selling formula to these parents and who inform them, through their allies in the Government and the media, that parents should not try to make their own formula. Nor can we seem to import it from other countries, because, for some reason, baby formula which is just fine for children in the EU or Canada or Mexico is probably extremely toxic for special American Children. More than anything, this shortage is evidence that Americans have chosen to become completely dependent upon corporations who exist by draining the life blood of Americans, rather than practicing self reliance and learning how to make food for their own children. We have forgotten, for the sake of corporate profits, what 10,000 years of human evolution has taught us, only within the last couple generations. This show argues that people should relearn self-reliance and learn how to do simple, basic things for ourselves rather than relying on the convenience of capitalism. Because, as this shortage teaches, Capitalism will not be there for us when we need it most. Contact us at marineandhippie@gmail.com and @marine_hippie at Twitter.

In this dialogue, we discuss the lunar eclipse and the thoughts around lunar eclipses. People who subscribe to astrology will argue that the lunar eclipse portends great opportunity to examine and make changes in one's life, but it is possible that people are merely manifesting the sort of future they want, and the lunar eclipse serves to remind you to do things that you should be doing. Whether or not you are willing something into existence, your attention to the issue and choice to link various actions together becomes a reality for you, whether it be you manifesting your own future into existence, or your tying the actions of the stars and the planets to your fortune. The lunar eclipse, at the very least, gave us an excuse to consider this topic. Contact us at marineandhippie@gmail.com and @marine_hippie at Twitter.

Marine and the Hippie 220515 S02E13- Missing Standards 22:14

22:14

In this dialogue, we talk about standards, and how the lack of standards leads to the failure of Democrats to protect Roe v. Wade. Voters are willing to let the government and the country to run on autopilot until the enemies of rights finally start succeeding in taking away rights. The Republicans have been working and organizing and winning state houses, congressional elections and judgeships for 50 years, and the Democrats, whenever they have a chance, they fail to do anything to reverse the gains made by the Republicans. The standards that Democratic voters have for their elected officials are so low that they'll accept anyone who isn't a republican, and some who are. But this leads to the elimination of rights. And now, the Democrats wonder why rights are being taken away. This is a result of the failure of Democratic voters to hold their representatives accountable for their failure to legislate on behalf of the people.

23:01

In this dialogue, we discuss the difference between blooming early and then fading out vs. living the entire time. We begin the discussion with the story of Kobe Bryant, one of the greatest basketball players of all time, who worked and worked to provide a good life for him and his family, and then died young and never got to live life apart from his work. We then moved to a metaphor of the man who is living life who is harassed by a professional who chides him for not sharing his values of hard work, saving and retirement. What use is all that when you seek to spend your time living now and don't want to wait for an uncertain future. Ultimately, we discover that it might be a different story if we were actually working for ourselves and our own lives, rather than simply working to make someone else rich.
