Three Equals Five
"Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows. ... In the end the Party would announce that two and two made five, and you would have to believe it. It was inevitable that they should make that claim sooner or later: the logic of their position demanded it.” (1984, Orwell) Lighthearted dystopian-themed podcast Three Equals Five discuses fact vs feeling vs fiction vs politics vs history and how they relate to each other. Thank you! to all our supporters and listeners out their!

This topic has been something mike wanted to talk about for quite some time and its finally here.

Jon, Mike, and Tom discuss whether retirement is a viable option. Is it reasonable for the average citizen to expect they will be able to retire, and if not, why? Jon’s been there for some years, Mike is shooting for it, and apparently Tom never will. Death is a certainty, but retirement isn’t.

Mike is lost in the wilderness and having a hard time finding his way back home, so like good co-hosts we decide to do an episode without him.
