DarkHorse Podcast

On this, our 350th Evolutionary Lens livestream, we discuss prepping, governmental fear-mongering, and a new political party in America. The media would have us believe that we are being told to stockpile food by the government—but we’re not. We go through a history of U.S. governmental injunctions to stockpile (or not), before arriving at FORTRESS—Federal Operations for Resilience, Troop Resources, Energy, Supply, and Survivability—announced September 30, to ensure continuing operations if supply chains are cut. Then: a new political party is being formed, and you are invited to join. The American Liberty Party is for patriots who believe in common-sense constitutionality.

On this, our 349th Evolutionary Lens livestream, we discuss threats to our Constitution, due process, informed consent, and mRNA shots, through the lens of a legal argument just made public at covidpenalty.com. Also: what is it to be human, and how do we protect our humanity in the face of technological advances that make our lives easier, but remove us from our selves? Is there not value in waiting for some things—perhaps for most things? Related: we should care about all the human things: every morsel that we eat, walking, sharing memories, and making plans.

On this, our 348th Evolutionary Lens livestream, we discuss migration, race, and the West. First: the Mercator projection is unsatisfactory, and there’s a new map available, but no map of the globe can be perfect. Every home should have a globe. Then: what do we do with things in which the first step is neutral or good, but it seems inevitable that we end up in a dire situation once the first step has been accepted? Examples include abortion, lobbying, advertising, informed consent, EULAs, and utopianism. Another example may be racism: we should not be racist, but we should retain our ability to see difference, and note when people who are showing up on our doorstep are not interested in collaboration, or in the experiment of the West.

On this, our 347th Evolutionary Lens livestream, we discuss the ballot initiatives and voter id in the state of Washington. On this November’s ballot, WA has 3 measures: 645 (which would repeal the new income tax), 638 (which would keep girls’ sports single-sex), and 001 (which would return parental rights). We discuss—and support—all three. In every case, reading the arguments for and against, it is clear that one side must be lying—the “facts” are inconsistent. Cheaters will keep winning until more of us start voting against them—even if they seem to be on “our” side. We also discuss why Washington doesn’t check voters for citizenship.
