Today is an episode of TSP Rewind, commercial free versions of past podcast episodes. Today’s episode was originally Episode-2458- Dropping the Denominator and was originally and first published on June 25th, 2019.
The following are the original show notes from that episode.
Have you ever heard the phrase, “the lowest common denominator”. While this is an actual mathematical principle it has also become a colloquialism meaning to cater to the lowest preforming member of a given group.
Today that group is the people of the United States and the performance metrics are basic intelligence, critical thinking and the ability to use logic and reason.
In essence a better title for this show may be “lowering the common denominator” with the sub title of “the dumbing down of America”, but I simply feel dropping the denominator sounds better and requires more thought, and as you shall see, thinking is the main focus of today’s episode.

Are you still making podcasts? Anyone actually listening to this garbage? This one is another substance-free rant from the man who slavishly follows libertardian thinking on almost every issue.
Hi there you sniveling little retard, yea about 250K people listen. Sorry that you are too stupid to understand that libertarians follow libertarian principles. We both know you didn’t listen to this, you just wanted to bitch. That said thank you very much for taking time away from your busy day or jacking off to transexual porn and eating hot pockets to make this comment.
