In The Know With Jason And Kilian

We've got a couple exciting guests coming up! And I give you my quick thoughts on relationships in today's cult-dominated society.

I discuss censorship and its negative impact on society.

Kilian discusses identity politics and some of the preeminent writers associated with it. And there's a little bit of Trump-Russia at the end.

July 8, I finished the Silver Rush 50 run in Leadville Colorado (Description: https://www.trailrunproject.com/trail/7029454/silver-rush-50-run). The Silver Rush 50 ( official site: http://www.leadvilleraceseries.com/run/silverrush50run/) was my first ultramarathon. It was difficult but enlightening in many ways.

I am joined once more by Mike Ricciardi to discuss globalization. We dig into immigration in Europe and the US and the differences therein and how the Italian elections serve as an apt metaphor for the EU at this moment.

Mike Ricciardi is back and we have lots to discuss. We touch on Citizens United and then get into the real meat of globalism/globalization and the implications of actors on the world stage. This is just part one and we had some audio issues at the end of the conversation and the podcast cuts off rather abruptly so apologies in advance for that.

Sorry for the two-week hiatus; moving is a pain in the ass. I drove in a U-haul from Washington DC to Colorado and listened to Kanye's entire catalog. There's a glaring problem in hip-hop and it is unfortunately stereotypical.

Mike Ricciardi joins Kilian for a wide-ranging discussion on Edmund Burke, Islamic Reform, New Atheists, the basis of moral claims, and problems with the new religion of the Left (social justice). Sorry for some audio problems and cat meows in the background.

It's just me now (Kilian speaking here). I talk about Jason's decision to step away from the podcast, an important issue I've changed my mind on recently, and Kanye's new album.

Jason and Kilian discuss artificial intelligence (AI) and its implications for our future. If you've ever heard a discussion of AI and felt like an idiot because you couldn't understand what the scientists were talking about, then this conversation is for you. We sound like idiots and don't get any of the science, but we're scared anyway.

Jason and Kilian discuss moral relativism and SPOILER: they don't like it. Jason clicks his pen a lot and we assure you that behavior has been corrected (by force). Also Kilian relays a story of talking to an intellectual inspiration of his.

WARNING: This episode includes a real-time incident of someone changing their mind. It's so rare to see or hear we thought you might want to be sitting down before you start listening. We talk about Kanye's tweets and his texts with John Legend. Plus, Jason is officially kicked out of the cult of intersectionality.

Say "hello" to Jason Tillotson and Kilian Korth, your hosts for the In the Know podcast. We explain our motives behind this endeavor and why we've been pushed to sneak into Jason's basement to talk about the issues. We follow Ricky Gervais' rule "If it's funny you have to say it."
