Episode-328 Deception - Disasters - Commonality and Probability [50:09m]: Play Now | Play in Popup | Download

Today we do a bit of a mixed bag and then bring them together in the end.  Today as I broadcast from my home office with better audio I am watching a Texas snow fall so it is logical to talk about global warming for a bit.  The reason I am doing so is as usual when I mention it even in passing I get a lot of “hate mail” calling me things like “holocaust denier”, etc.   I wanted to go on record as the real environmentalist that I actually am, even though I believe man made global warming due to CO2 is a complete scam.

Oh and for those in love with all those “conclusive graphs” that prove global warming.  First a graph proves nothing, it is nothing but a graphical representation of number.  So tune in today and I will explain how to manipulate a graph with out even fudging any of the numbers.  This is a technique used by all sales and marketing people, everyday.  I will also tell you about one thing we have learned from climate gate about how they fix problems with graphs just by “adding to the numbers”.  Deception takes many forms, my goal today is to empower you to spot it, not to tell you what you should believe.

I then shift gears into a discussion about the two part concepts of disaster probability and disaster commonality and how they relate to each other and how those concepts can be used to improve your personal planning.

In the end I explain how these two topics are hugely linked in reality and why understanding deception, dependence and sustainability are so important to not just our physical survival but the survival of our nation and our family unit.

 Episode-175- Planning vs Paranoia [37:30m]: Play Now | Play in Popup | Download

The more I talk to the media the more I am realizing how deep the belief that survivalists are paranoids is in the average person.  This is simply as gently as I can put it moronic.  Is it paranoid to have life insurance?  Is it paranoid to wear a seat belt?  Is it paranoid to keep an eye on your kids while they play?  If not why is it paranoid to take personal responsiblity for yourself and understand that at times things go wrong?
