GM & PV #nostr 🌞☕️

The amount of people that have said “wow, I’m surprised you had nostr:npub1rtlqca8r6auyaw5n5h3l5422dm4sry5dzfee4696fqe8s6qgudks7djtfs and nostr:npub1hk0tv47ztd8kekngsuwwycje68umccjzqjr7xgjfqkm8ffcs53dqvv20pf on nostr:npub1fpcd25q2zg09rp65fglxuhp0acws5qlphpg88un7mdcskygdvgyqfv4sld" is exactly the problem I’m trying to fix.

I want to run a show where a wide variety of guests, topics, and ideologies are covered! Whether people assume they know me because I’m “from the left” or whether they want what I do to be some sort of echo-chamber in its own way, I reject that. I will not be a part of perpetuating that problem.

We are all just people hoping and fighting for a better tomorrow 🫂💜

The left/right paradigm and polarization is dead. Those in power just want you to think it still exists. No nuance, no focus on truth, rationality, or mutual respect and human dignity. This doesn’t mean we all agree on everything, but that we should have an ability to see the humanity in one another and live in harmony.

There is but one philosophy I try to live by and that’s Ubuntu: I am because we are. My humanity is inextricably wrapped up in yours, so let’s promote harmony and peace for all humanity and life on earth. The way you do that is a starting with yourself, each and every day.

Without the “kum-bah-yah”, here’s my take:

The US is too large of a country both geographically and by population to be a monoculture that agrees on everything. People of California should have a different culture than people of Alabama or Montana. This should be celebrated.

The 10th amendment addresses this by letting the state government have the bulk of the say in your life.

An ideal situation would be a broad interpretation of 10A. Then Vivek’s plan to abolish most of the federal government would be implemented.

Then when California thinks reparations are a neat idea, it only affects California taxpayers, they vote with their feet and the state implodes. (Hypothetically, of course)

But right now there’s a federal backstop and a large federal umbrella that makes the “vote with your feet” less impactful.

If the states had to stand on their own for everything *not* given to the federal government in the constitution, the 50 competing democratic experiments would work best for everyone.
