I am legitimately curious and, more importantly, willing to pay for an episode on this topic, (assuming I can afford it). Would this interest anyone else? P.S. Hopefully the poll is attached since I do not see it in the draft of this post. Please feel free to comment in either case.

r-selection insight in Coolio's Gangsta's Paradice
Tservitive replied to Tservitive's topic in Self Knowledge
Good call with Kanye's "All of the Lights" I can also see "We Are the Champions" as k-selected, though the lyrics do carry a braggardly quality that makes me slightly hesitant to vote full key. I just scoured my 3000+ iTunes and the only other song that I could think of, strange as it is, is Lorde's "Royals". The song tells the story of a girl and her friends who, despite living in an r-selected word, learn to be K through learning how to live everyday life on very little and not getting caught up in your love affair with all of the trappings of being affluent but are rather wealthy through experience and frugality. What do you think? -
So, I was listening to a cover of Coolio's song Gangsta's Paradise from the 1995 film Dangerous Minds when I really stopped to listen to the lyrics. At this point, I am convinced that this song is entirely about the self justification of an r-selected gangster (which I guess is redundant). What is even more intriguing is that lines like, now incorporate a self reflective or at least telling inside into the mindset of an r-selected world view. Do you think I'm off base, missing something, or just overthinking the r/K stuff. Please let me know. Below is the video for reference:

With all of this talk about inflation and currency devaluation, I'm wondering when we should be concerned about a Greek style Bail-In happening in the US.

I felt as if this video belonged in this section rather than miscellaneous.

Jurors Judging the "Morality of the Law"
Tservitive replied to Tservitive's topic in Libertarianism, Anarchism and Economics
I'm not a legal expert by any means. Is there a line in the sand as to how far jury nullification can go? -
So, I just discovered that jurors in the USSA have the ability to dean a law immoral in legal cases. Would it make sense to accept jury duty in order to apply this right in ways to dismantle the state?

With a mother like that and no philosophy, I can see why the guy would even consider rioting in the first place

Spot on. It also come from the freer legal, economic, and religious system that originated in England begging in the 17th Century. Latin America still is reliant on family/community orientation rather than individualism. This is not to say that this is true for every Latin American or even for every Latin American country since early 20th Century Argentina pre-socialism. Regardless, the more individualist the culture, the freer it is.

Does anyone else think that it's weird that a sitting president is conducting an interview with a writer/director? -
