Systems, goals, and human excellence

This week, Mike, Charles, and I chatted about systems, goals, and human excellence — more specifically, why it's important to approach life holistically and with a wide understanding of things, rather than specialising to the point of ignorance.Charles likes to run daily, which is a good excuse to be outside. The point is, don't sit behind a computer all day, and don't hyper-focus at the cost of missing out on what matters.

Universities are not what they used to be, argues forensic scientist David Klatzow. In fact, they are dead, and he adds that my being a varsity dropout probably had a net benefit on me.So why is university dead?David dives into it in this conversation.

I wrote this as an article on my website, but decided to read it so that you can listen to it too. I recommend reading the version on my website because it has pictures and a video.➡️ Here's the article: https://www.jermwarfare.com/10-reasons-why-trump-is-just-as-guilty-as-fauci/

Roger Cunningham, aka the Ethical Skeptic, explores the tactics of social engineering, propaganda, and the manipulation of scientific discourse, explaining why science is pretty much dead.He discusses how logical fallacies influence everything, and dives into the importance of scepticism.For example, do you remember hearing "safe and effective"?It's nonsense, and he explains why.➡️ Please subscribe to my newsletter at jermwarfare.com.

If you had asked me my opinion about homeschooling before I had a family, I would have laughed it off and parroted the usual tropes like "homeschooled kids are antisocial" and others.But the truth is, as one of America's leading figures in the homeschool movement, Kevin Swanson, says, homeschooling is about providing better education and a stronger focus on the family. After all, you don't outsource your children's health to the state, so why outsource their education to the state?There are obviously pros and cons to homeschooling, but Kevin — who was himself homeschooled — argues the pros outweigh the cons.➡️ Links, videos, trivia, and so on, all at jermwarfare.com

In this week's UK Column banter between myself, Mike, and Charles, we chat about internal combustion engines versus electric vehicles, and why the latter are great at reducing noise pollution but terrible at reducing other pollution.We also touch on data centres and why the whole manmade climate change narrative is bunk.Oh, and I learn a new word.

Dan Roodt is a prolific South African writer, poet, philosopher, and historian focused on all things Afrikanerdom. He has spent decades protecting and promoting Afrikaner history, culture, heritage, and, worryingly, the future of Afrikaners.You see, Afrikaners belong, as their name implies, in Africa, but have faced centuries of obstacles, challenges, and difficulties, making their future uncertain.Will Afrikanerdom exist in a hundred years?Dan answers that question in this conversation.

Farmer Angus is a good friend of mine. He has a regenerative farm that I've visited many times, and his style of agriculture is ahead of the curve.We just shot the breeze in this conversation, touching on why raw milk is better, the delicious burger patties he made for me, and why all husbands drink their wife's breast milk.

Simon Roche is a regular on my podcast. He is the spokesman for the Suidlanders, an exit-strategy group here in South Africa that prepares for a race-based civil war — which hopefully will never happen, but exists just in case, given our racially tense history.This time, we chatted about the difference between Afrikaners and Boers, the Great Trek, the battles against the British Empire, and an important Boer prophet by the name of Siener van Rensburg.➡️ Please visit my website because it's awesome.

Gabriel Custodiet is "the privacy guy".His work is heavily focused on not being tracked and traced, remaining sovereign and free, and walking the talk.I've seen where and how he lives and, yes, he is legit.In this conversation, he gives some very good tips on how to break free from surveillance, and also discusses why AI can actually be very helpful, if used correctly.
