Ep 530 Arynne Wexler – Comedians are Professional Racists

The title is not clickbait, especially if you know who Arynne Wexler is. I have only listened to a couple of reels of her act, it inspired this episode and the title.

So, I return to the topic of comedy and offer some more takeaways from the professional racists of the world.

The consequences of blindly believing racializations are broad and significant... e.g. fake news and Nuclear powered missiles.

Ep 526 Mark 08 34-38 Price of Faith – Value and Life

Sunday, Jesus Day. What is the price of faith? How many people actually understand and pay? What is the relative value of things in the world? If people always choose for what has more value, how do we know we are making the right choice? Peace and Blessings.
