On January 6, 2021, Ashli Babbitt was fatally shot by Capital Police Officer, Lieut. Michael Byrd. Babbitt was shot while participating in an attack on the United States Capitol. Babbitt attempted to crawl through a broken window and into the House chambers. Many people who support Donald Trump believe Ashli Babbitt was murdered. There were four separate investigations which looked into the shooting, and all four investigations concluded that Byrd was acting within the law and according to his training. In this podcast I review the facts of the case. https://www.chuckjines.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/ashlibabbittshooting.mp3
How Do You "Know" What You Know? Epistemology is one of the five branches of philosophy. This branch of philosophy deals with the issue of how we know what we know. Religious and mystical people claim to acquire their knowledge through revelation and feelings. But are these the best tools for the job?https://www.chuckjines.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/knowwhatyouknow.mp3
Human biodiversity is real. Human biodiversity is NOT a social construct. Human beings do indeed have many similarities and things that we all share in common. A smile is a smile just about everywhere on the planet regardless of race, ethnicity, or gender. But, this is only HALF of the story, HALF of our reality within the cosmos. There are many differences between people, and a great many of them are genetic. This podcast was originally recorded as a YouTube livestream. I use the Sam Harris-Ezra Klein debate on race and IQ as my center point. https://www.chuckjines.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/samharrisonrace.mp3
"Race is a Human Construct"“We obsess about whether our dog is a pug-Jack Russell terrier mix with corgi overtones and an oaky finish. ‘An approachable little dog,’ whatever. They’re all dogs, okay? And so the idea of a purebred is just a human construct. There’s no such thing – in a sense there’s no such thing as a purebred dog.” Big ThinkThe truth is, race is a biological reality. We now know that Sapiens are a hybrid of different hominoid subspecies.Different races of people are composed of different mixtures of hominoids. For example, Asians and Caucasians mixed with Neanderthals, whereas sub-Saharan Africans did not. https://www.chuckjines.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/bill-nye-race.wav
If authorities knew within an hour that the sub most likely imploded on Sunday, what was up with the week-long "countdown to death" media circus? What was up with the huge multinational search area, when the most likely location was somewhere close to the Titanic wreckage? Was all of this fake news coverage employed in order to drag people alone for as long as possible simply for viewer revenue? https://www.chuckjines.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/oceanfate.m4aThis is Titanic movie director James Cameron explaining how he knew the Titan imploded on Sunday, as did the authorities.https://www.chuckjines.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/titanlie.m4a
