Pendulums and Politics - Are We IRRECONCILABLE? | Hn 20

Adam and the Porcupine talk about how crazy and abusive behavior on the left is predictably causing crazy and abusive behavior on the right, and vice-versa. How can we find balance?

00:00 – Intro: Tyranny tastes bad, no matter it's flavor.
00:38 – Introducing a "girls gone not-so-wild" video that provoked a weird reaction on the right. Plus, Adam says a mammalian-inspired bad word and talks about see-sawing pendulums.
05:02 – Tyrone brings some wisdom, pitching libertarianism as the proper path for balance. Plus, a discussion about how best to describe the philosophy.
08:20 – How does religion play into this? What are the new religions? Are they ideologies? What new hyper-moralistic tyrannies are on the rise? Left-wing? Right-wing? Both?
11:56 – The proper axis isn't left/right. It's freedom/tyranny. Tyrone issues a warning.
14:13 – Tyrone quotes a passage from Adam's article and gives some pushback. Maybe the pendulum doesn't go back and forth, but is a shrinking concentric circle. Is balance inevitable, over long enough time? Or is some energy being added to the system that makes it inherently unstable?
16:49 -- Drinking game! Adam invokes the hero myth!
20:54 -- Drinking game! Tyrone blames all bad things on fiat currency!
22:21 -- Outro
