As CJ continues to struggle to navigate his family’s ongoing difficulties, he FINALLY managed to record a new DHP episode. This is a follow-up to the previous DHP episode (#283 “We Are Ruled by Psychopaths”), in which he delves into some topics not covered much, if at all, in that episode, including but not limited to: the difficulty of defining ‘psychopath vs. sociopath,’ reasons that non-psychopathic people might in some situations behave very similarly to a psychopath, the ‘Lucifer effect,’ how institutions tend toward psychopathic behavior, and more.

  CJ is back with a beast of a DHP episode that he’s been brewing laboriously for over a month, if not two. On June 8th, 1967, during the Six Day War, the USS Liberty, a virtually unarmed signals intelligence ship operating off the coast of Egypt, was attacked by Israeli planes & torpedo boats. 34 men were killed, 171 were wounded, & the ship was nearly sunk before the attack was finally called off. The Israelis claimed it was a tragic case of mistaken identity, despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary, and LBJ, America’s first “Israel-First” President, let them get away with it, & even helped cover it all up. Tune in for the whole Dose of Historical MALinformation! This one’s a big red pill! Like this episode?

The podcast dives into the recent debate between Dave Smith and Douglas Murray, showcasing the ideological clash surrounding neoconservatism. It critiques the rise of neo-neocons and their push against libertarian views within the American right. Additionally, discussions touch on the dangers of credentialism and blind trust in experts, questioning the validity of traditional authority in today's discourse. The complexities of morality in foreign policy and the confusion over nutrition advice further highlight the need for critical thinking in navigating modern issues.

In this installment of the Woodrow Wilson series, he gets us into war. Join CJ as he discusses Woodrow Wilson’s presidency from late-1916 through early April of 1917, when he gives one of the most famous and (tragically) influential speeches in American history, asking Congress to pass a war resolution against Germany in order to make the world safe for democracy & create the League of Nations, a resolution passed by huge margins in both Houses, despite strong public opinion to the contrary.

This DHP episode features an interesting conversation CJ had with a listener named Frank (who’s a physicist currently working in academia) in the aftermath of the 4th & final session of CJ’s recently-concluded DHP Live-ceum course “The Decline & Fall of the Soviet Empire,” in which, following some discussion of details about the end of the USSR, they discuss some of the ways in which US institutions (especially – though not exclusively – academia) have been ideologically captured & thoroughly corrupted & degraded in ways that are reminiscent of Soviet institutions.
