Your job is probably the most toxic relationship in your life and you don't even realize it. This episode will make you think hard about how effed-up the whole system is.... how all the work-standards we must live by started long before you came along. Nobody asked you, right? Society demands that we participate in all the BS, no questions asked. And even if you're ready to pull the chute, it's hard to know exactly what to do. Seemingly out of nowhere....there is another way. And once you understand the top-down corporate structure isn't the only way to run a business, it becomes hard to un-ring this bell. #coops

The media we consume sculps our culture. Anyone who senses an America in decline need look no further than at their television set for an explanation- yes, that is still the place where most people get their news. It's not just corporate profits that cause objective hold-them-accountable reporters to be filtered-out of the system (and zombies like Wolf Blitzer to be allowed to rise to the top), it is that the demonstrably false narrative of a "left-wing media bias" has become so deeply engrained into our collective consciousness that placating conservatives and protecting them from the truth is now main stream media's actual bias. [Apologies neither of us could remember Mohammed bin Salman's name off the top of our heads.]

Marty and Gary discuss what's good about religion but don't hold back where Christianity goes off the rails. How would God's behavior look if someone you knew acted the same way? Science is the shit and does a far better job of explaining the world than religion. Curious thing is just how many barriers lay in front of someone like Marty when it comes to joining the scientific community.... and yet the preacher lane is left wide open.
