And Another Thing With Dave, by Dave Smith

#AATWD

In This Episode: I talk about how people who say "trust the science" are really not scientific and are just indoctrinated. These people do not keep track of the updates, they just call people conspiracy theorists for not believing the official narrative. I believe this is a good example of cognitive dissonance.

#445 Lobster Claw Meltdown: Why Civil Debate Is Dying 13:02

לפני 8 ימים13:02

13:02

And Another Thing With Dave, by Dave Smith Host: David Smith Episode Type: Culture & Commentary Run Time: ~13 minutes [00:17] Introduction & Episode Context Dave introduces a conversation he joined between his friend Falcon and someone who identifies as “Lobster Claw.” They initially discussed the importance of civil discourse despite differences. [01:09] The Trigger: Trans Identity Debate Dave shares his viewpoint: trans women are trans women, not biological women — and insists it’s not hate, just semantic clarity. Lobster Claw’s reaction turns aggressive, leading to a heated exchange filled with insults and shouting. [02:09–07:38] Full Clip of the Meltdown Dave plays back the raw argument where Lobster Claw loses composure, resorts to name-calling, and attempts to shut down the conversation. Key issues discussed: gender identity, biology, open-mindedness, and emotional reasoning. [08:05] Comparison to Past Experiences Dave reflects on a similar political interaction at his nephew’s wedding in Oregon involving RFK Jr. He describes the emotional volatility of political discourse and the influence of mainstream narratives. [10:02] Derangement Syndrome & Labels Criticism of terms like “Trump Derangement Syndrome” and “RFK Derangement Syndrome.” Dave criticizes the overuse of extreme labels like “Nazi” and how it dilutes real historical meaning. [11:01] The Question of Trans Rights Dave questions what specific rights the trans community is still fighting for. Offers his personal view that many current gender debates lead to logistical or social complications without meaningful benefit. [11:50] Related Content Recommends checking out his six-part series with Spirited Journey on trans athletes and fairness in women's sports. [12:00] Final Thoughts Recaps the conversation with Lobster Claw as a breakdown of civil discourse. Emphasizes the need for open, calm dialogue rather than emotional shutdowns.

Listeners will gain insights into the nuances of civil rights, the intersection of mental health and identity, and the broader societal impact of dividing advocacy into narrowly defined groups.

לפני 6 weeks29:19

29:19

And Another Thing With Dave, by Dave Smith In this episode of And Another Thing With Dave , the conversation dives headfirst into the disillusionment with American politics. Dave and his guest explore the frustrating similarities between Republicans and Democrats, the corporatization of government, and the myth that voters are being offered a real choice. Key Topics Covered: False Dichotomy of U.S. Politics Both Trump and Biden are portrayed as different sides of the same corrupt coin—puppets of corporate interests and the military-industrial complex. Government Doesn’t Work for the People The hosts argue that the government has evolved to serve the elite, not the citizens, with corporations like BlackRock and Vanguard pulling the strings. Media Manipulation and Manufactured Consent Media outlets are criticized for pushing divisive narratives while ignoring the bipartisan consensus on war, corporate welfare, and censorship. Trump’s Theater and the Real Agenda Trump’s showmanship is discussed as a distraction—masking his alignment with the establishment on key issues like deregulation and tax breaks for the rich. Biden’s Failures and Democratic Complicity Biden is called out for backtracking on promises, like canceling student loan debt and protecting abortion rights, and for enabling war and surveillance just as much as Republicans. Where’s the Real Change? The hosts discuss how grassroots movements and third-party candidates are systematically suppressed, keeping the population trapped in a binary that benefits the elite. "They don't care which puppet we vote for, as long as we keep playing their game." Thank you for tuning in!

🎙️ And Another Thing With Dave Host : David Smith Guest : Spirited Journey In this thought-provoking episode, David Smith welcomes Spirited Journey for a wide-ranging discussion about political bias in academic research, particularly in psychology, and how it affects the quality and diversity of published work. David reads and reflects on a paper titled "Political Diversity in Social and Personality Psychology" by Joel Inbar and Joris Lammers, revealing alarming statistics about the underrepresentation of conservative voices in the field and the real fear of professional discrimination. The conversation then transitions into how these biases influence topics like affirmative care in gender medicine. David and Spirited Journey critique the over-reliance on a small number of studies promoting gender-affirmative care, noting a lack of longitudinal research and critical evaluation. They also touch on the controversial role of parental involvement in youth care, echoing concerns about schools potentially withholding important information from parents. Listener messages, including a heartfelt one from Miss Smitty, add powerful real-life perspectives to the conversation about parental trust, responsibility, and transparency in education and healthcare decisions.
