  • DEI
    Feb 26 2025
    The current trend to discontinue and dismantle DEI motivated us to look into this suddently controversial issue. DEI will be another corpse on the pile of convenient corpses that were easy targets. But, what does Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion mean? What are the impacts it has had? What will happen when it's gone? The implications are further reaching than you might think.RecommendationsAbraham: Put “DEI” into everythingShane: Captain America: Brave New World (https://www.marvel.com/movies/captain-america-brave-new-world)Holidays (2/26/2025):Black Lives MatterCarnival DayCarpe Diem DayFor Pete’s Sake DayInconvenience Yourself DayMaha ShivaratriNational Customized Wheel and Tire DayNational Letter to an Elder DayNational Personal Chef’s DayNational Pistachio DayPink Shirt DayTell a Fairy Tell DayThermos Bottle DayInternational Energy WeekNational Chip Week (UK)National Eating Disorders Awareness WeekNational Green WeekNational Invasive Species Awareness WeekLinks and References: https://www.pewresearch.org/social-trends/2023/05/17/diversity-equity-and-inclusion-in-the-workplace/https://online.hbs.edu/blog/post/what-is-deihttps://builtin.com/diversity-inclusion/what-does-dei-mean-in-the-workplacehttps://www.cbsnews.com/news/dc-plane-crash-black-hawk-crew-order-plane-investigation/https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/using-dei-strengthen-infrastructure-rural-areas-michele-heyward-eit-clauc/https://dailyyonder.com/commentary-eliminating-dei-hurts-everyone-rural-people-included/2025/02/03/https://www.forbes.com/sites/juliekratz/2024/12/29/history-of-dei-why-it-matters-for-the-future/https://www.cnn.com/2025/01/22/us/dei-diversity-equity-inclusion-explained/index.htmlhttps://hub.jhu.edu/2023/11/22/affirmative-action-debate/https://www.forbes.com/sites/jeffraikes/2023/01/27/the-court-is-coming-for-affirmative-action-that-would-be-a-terrible-mistake/https://edtrust.org/blog/a-brief-history-of-affirmative-action-and-the-assault-on-race-conscious-admissions/https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/1/31/did-trumps-firing-of-aviation-officials-increase-likelihood-of-dc-crash#:~:text=Meanwhile%2C%20The%20Associated%20Press%20reported,Baird%20contributed%20to%20this%20report.

  • Mini: Musings and Prognostications 3: Goodbye Farms
    Feb 24 2025
    Yet another check-in with the nightmare fuel that is the news. We consider the ramifications of cutting programs that prevent disease from spreading and keep many American businesses and farms afloat. Who needs weight-loss drugs when you can just not have food be available? Should we shorten the name of these to M&P?

  • Nostalgia: Do Babies Recognize Good & Evil?
    Feb 19 2025
    This classic episode revisits some old "research" attempting to assess the inherent morality of humans found in the gaze of babies looking at puppets. If that sounds silly, it's because it is. Updated research further debunks this claim, indicating that the original studies were either flawed or fraud. Check it out with us!
