Episode CCXXVIII: more of the same from Akron. Again.

More of the same. We discussed a shooting incident near Joy Park and Hood Market convenience store. They shared their thoughts on the authenticity of Hood Market and a potential alliance with Mo. Vapes, a closed store in Canton, Cleveland Avenue. Additionally, Chris shared his ambition to make Akron as similar to Detroit as possible, while Jay recounted his negative experiences in downtown Detroit and a desolate area outside the city. Lastly, Lake informed Chris that their friend Kennedy, a cybersecurity graduate, would be moving to San Francisco to provide a unique perspective on the city for their podcast.

Former President's Conviction and Political Motivations

As expected, we discussed the recent conviction of a former U.S. President for falsifying business records related to an alleged affair. They discussed the potential political motivations behind the charges, with chris suggesting it was a politically motivated case. They also discussed the possibility of the former President appealing the conviction and the potential implications of this case, including the setting of a dangerous precedent.

Zin, Nicotine Pouches, and US Politics

We got onto the controversy surrounding Zin and nicotine pouches, expressing frustration about the politicization of personal choices and the potential for abuse of power. They also commented on the overcorrection in the US political system, with Jay comparing it to playing checkers instead of chess, and the dangers of this approach. They highlighted the hypocrisies and flaws in the US political system, and predicted that the pendulum would swing back in future. They also mentioned the impact of social media and the importance of individual expression.

Criticism of NYU's Punishment and Protests

We criticized the punishment imposed on New York University students who protested against the Gaza genocide, including being required to complete a philosophically ambiguous course on integrity. Jay questioned the need for moral reasoning instruction for students who had already protested and expressed his disillusionment with the academic system. He also highlighted the university's failure to uphold its own policies and allow protests that disrupt its operations. Chris agreed with Jay's assessment and suggested that students passionate about causes such as the Israeli-Palestinian conflict should pursue careers in international relations or humanitarian aid instead of participating in disruptive protests.
