  • Head Go Bonk: Bad
    There is a unique type of brain trauma that destroys lives and cuts them short and we can't even tell that it has happened until after your death. Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy occurs when there is repeated head trauma, even if it is mild. The result can manifest as forgetfulness, impulsivity, violence, and an early death. Mercifully, it is relatively preventable. Unfortunately, few people care to prevent it.

  • Replacement Theory
    Replacement theory is essentially a propaganda campaign engineered to scare gullible people into giving power to autocrats. Versions of this have been around for a long time. We review the history of replacement theory, explain how it works to trick people into voting against their interests (and the interests of everyone else), and what we can do about it. RecommendationsAbraham: Wool (https://hughhowey.com/books/wool/)Shane: Turnstile - NEVER ENOUGH (https://open.spotify.com/album/52yD51X7yDinwlg6tbCtpP?si=LoE11WYfRfygXQaUwd2Ceg)Holidays (06/18/25):Autistic Pride DayGo Fishing DayInternational Panic DayInternational Picnic DayInternational Sushi DayNational Cheesemaker’s DayNational Cherry Tart DayNational Splurge DayAnimal Rights Awareness WeekCarpenter Ant Awareness WeekLearning Disabilities WeekNational Roller Coaster WeekTake Your Dog to Work WeekWobbly WeekLinks and References: https://immigrationforum.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Replacement-Theory-Explainer-1122.pdfhttps://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/what-is-great-replacement-theory-and-how-does-it-fuel-racist-violencehttps://theconversation.com/what-is-the-great-replacement-theory-a-scholar-of-race-relations-explains-224835https://www.splcenter.org/resources/hatewatch/racist-great-replacement-conspiracy-theory-explained/https://www.ajc.org/translatehate/great-replacement https://www.adl.org/resources/backgrounder/great-replacement-explainer https://hias.org/news/deep-dive-great-replacement-theory/https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/jun/08/a-deadly-ideology-how-the-great-replacement-theory-went-mainstreamBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/why-we-do-what-we-do--3419521/support.
