A Radical Reset
Our Republic has been converted into a democracy which is just another name for mob rule. The mob is getting what it wants, to paraphrase H.L. Mencken, good and hard. One day soon, the entire edifice is going to collapse under its own weight and what takes its place historically will be tyranny. A Radical Reset is the alternative and the system is called Antipolitism. It calls for a new republic based upon merit and not ambition. No parties, no money in politics, no careers in politics, and only serving the public good.

The looming conflict with Iran raises pressing questions about American national security, global stability, and the complex dynamics of domestic politics. Why should Americans care about Iran's nuclear ambitions? The answer transcends simple allegiances to Israel—it's about preventing a regime guided by religious extremism from acquiring weapons that could ultimately threaten American soil.
When ex...
What happens when a simple question on a first date completely changes your understanding of marriage and family? That's exactly what I experienced years ago when a woman asked me a hypothetical scenario about saving either her or my children from a sinking boat. While the date ended abruptly after my answer, it led to one of the most profound pieces of wisdom my mother ever shared with me—wisdom that transformed...
The chess game in the Middle East has reached a critical juncture as Israel launches a decisive preemptive strike against Iran's nuclear facilities. This bold military action comes exactly 60 days after a joint ultimatum issued by Israel and the United States expired, marking a definitive shift from diplomacy to direct confrontation.
Drawing on my background in military intelligence analysis, I break dow...
The immigration crisis at our southern border has become one of America's most divisive political battlegrounds—but what if both sides are missing the obvious solution? Drawing from personal experience living in Southern Arizona and working alongside immigrant communities, I break down why current approaches from both Democrats and Republicans are fundamentally flawed.
When riots break out in Los Angeles...
A call for the Democratic Party to embrace classical liberalism as a solution to their identity crisis, with proposals for a revitalized alternative to Republican nationalism focused on smaller government and state-level welfare programs.
• Discussion of political party evolution and the potential dissolution of the Democratic Party as we know it
• Analysis of why Republicans have clear positions while De...
Rage burns while anger fades. This profound distinction forms the foundation of a practical approach to managing our deepest, most entrenched negative emotions. For those who've experienced severe betrayal or abuse, traditional advice to "just forgive" can feel not only impossible but invalidating.
Drawing from personal experience with childhood trauma and the rage it produced, this episode int...
The slow death of religion in modern society has left us with a devastating moral vacuum as faith becomes increasingly difficult to maintain in our scientific age. Where once religion provided clear answers to life's mysteries, now we struggle to find common moral ground, resulting in a breakdown of rational discourse on crucial topics like immigration.
Our immigration debate perfectly exemplifies this c...

The AI revolution isn't coming—it's already here, transforming our world at breakneck speed. As Tesla's humanoid Optimus robots prepare to enter homes by 2026 and self-driving vehicles reshape transportation, we're facing technological changes that will fundamentally alter how we live, work, and relate to machines.
But should we fear this transition or embrace it? Throughout history, techn...
What happens when a self-described "Spiritual Agnostic" decides to tackle anti-Semitism head-on? After an unsettling encounter with anti-Semitic comments online, I felt compelled to address the questions many non-Jews have always wondered but rarely ask directly: Why are Jews constantly persecuted throughout history? Do Jewish people bear any responsibility for the stereotypes they face?
Taking you ...
What makes intelligent people embrace utterly irrational ideas? The answer lies in understanding stupidity—not as a lack of intelligence, but as something far more dangerous: the unwillingness to question one's own beliefs.
Drawing from philosopher Dietrich Bonhoeffer's insights, this episode explores how stupidity functions as a greater societal threat than evil itself. While evil makes perpetrator...
Staring down the barrel of a $38 trillion national debt, America faces an existential crisis that everyone sees but no one addresses. This episode challenges the sacred cow of democracy itself, arguing that mob rule may be the most immoral form of government precisely because it allows the majority to vote themselves benefits they don't pay for.
Our host takes us on a journey through historical warnings,...
Something profound has vanished from our society. As science advances and traditional faith recedes, we've eliminated God without replacing what religion provided: meaning, ethics, and boundaries. The resulting void doesn't stay empty—it fills with nihilism, a blind pursuit without virtue or value.
This episode explores how courage, the first pillar of Stoicism, offers us a path forward. True courag...
We explore the transformative journey from victimhood to survivorship and why it's impossible to embody both identities simultaneously. Drawing from personal experiences of childhood abuse, prison, and healing, we examine how abandoning victimhood creates freedom and quiets the mind.
• Victimhood keeps us trapped in thought loops that replay trauma and pain
• Survivors acknowledge their experiences w...
The bond market is screaming a warning that few want to hear. America's national debt has reached crisis levels, with interest rates pushing 6% as investors grow increasingly uncertain about our ability to repay our obligations. This isn't fearmongering—it's basic math that transcends political divides.
Currently, we're spending about 6% of our gross domestic product just to service our de...
When was the last time you questioned whether good intentions actually lead to good outcomes? In this thought-provoking episode of The Spiritual Agnostic, we dive deep into the dangerous disconnect between well-meaning policies and their often devastating real-world consequences.
Drawing from Taoist wisdom that "it's better to do nothing than to be busy doing nothing," we examine how government...
The nuclear family stands as civilization's foundational pillar, yet we've watched it crumble before our eyes through decades of well-intentioned but catastrophically misguided social policies. Uncle Herbie pulls no punches in this thought-provoking exploration of how sexual ethics have collapsed in Western society and why restoring them matters more than any other political issue we face today.
Thr...
The ethics of sex is a critical topic that reveals how our society's foundation has been eroded by three key developments: the birth control pill, no-fault divorce, and modern feminism.
• Birth control pill in 1961 removed pregnancy risk, opening floodgates to sexual revolution
• Women's virginity was previously self-protected by pregnancy risk, not by state mandate
• No-fault divorce fundam...
What happens when God dies? Not literally, but culturally—when science explains away the mysteries that once required faith, and decadence fills the void left behind? This profound question forms the backbone of our latest episode exploring the tension between virtue and venality in modern society.
I frame this discussion through the lens of our current cultural divide, not to push a political agenda, but to ...
Herby shares his unique perspective on racism based on his experience as a Jewish man who served time in Arizona state prisons where racial segregation was strictly enforced.
• Prison life organized by racial groups: Woods (whites), Chicanos (American-born Latinos), Paisas (foreign-born Latinos), Chiefs (Native Americans), and Kinfolk (Black inmates)
• Herby taught re-entry classes and formed connections ...
