Theorism appears to be a term used to describe a few things, quite different from one another. Are these thoughts entirely you own, or derived from a particular source? I'm wondering if you've re-coined a term used by others, or if there is an origin story to this definition of theorism.

In any case, the way you slice this concept shares very similar concepts with others I've heard, yet it is unique in the way in which you combine the other concepts. It certainly has value in the way you present it. It seems something of a pragmatic means of filtering through preconceived notions that define ones' reality, or demonstrable fact that defines anothers' reality, or the mixture that exists in all of our minds.

I'm curious if your perspective on either Trump, Clinton, or Bernie has developed beyond the time of this recording. Not that it has to, but given the evidence that has been trickling out in the last several years about claims one person or the other has made, I have certainly changed some of my views about who knew what and when.

One (though not the only) example is Trump's relationship with the media. Personally I cannot see Trump as complicit in a scheme with the media. At one point, I considered it, but the way events have unfolded since make it appear far too unlikely.

Perhaps all of these will become clearer to me as I listen to your later shows.

I wrote that after I was awake (mostly) but before I was on board with Trump. You’ll notice the progression on the show over time. I’m 100% MAGA/AF now, not just because of Trump.
