There's a better way to this Let me show you a better way

Well, hi folks, this is Jack Spirko with another edition of the Survival Podcast.

As always, one man's view of the changing world, the changing times, and the things we can all do to live a better life.

If times get a tell for even if they don't today's May the 18th, 2022, this is episode 3,096 of the Survival Podcast.

It's Wednesday, that's interview day, and we have a special guest coming on in just a moment. His name is Jacob Johnson.

He's a podcaster himself. He has a show called The Rise to Liberty Podcast, and we'll be talking about the current state of the Liberty movement.

This one will be more from a political bent, and you guys know me. That's not my thing.

I walked away from politics a long time ago when it comes to fighting for liberty. I prefer to go do stuff.

In fact, my cover photo for today's episode is quote by Henry David Thoreau.

This obedience is the true foundation of liberty. The obedient must be slaves. That's the approach I take.

So while I bring somebody on this, not involved with the actual libertarian party and things like that, because I think it's important that we get views and opinions from other people.

There's a lot of things that are thrown out at the Survival Podcast and me, right?

And accusations and things like that. One of them that is absolutely not true, though, is that TSPC as a community is an echo chamber.

We're a very diverse group of people. All one need to do is come to one of our workshops. People that are so committed that they give up a significant portion of time to be around each other.

And it's not free. It's a significant financial investment to come to a workshop.

And you see incredible diversity in people by age, by race, by demographic, by sex, and everybody gets along.

But it's certainly not an echo chamber. There's a lot of discussions that are somewhat disagreements. They're cordial disagreements, but they're disagreements.

We're not an echo chamber. I've said since the beginning of this show that it is one man's opinion, not a lecture or sermon.

And I think sometimes when people tell me, well, you're wrong. And here's why I don't agree with. And I say, well, I think you're wrong. Here's what I don't disagreement. That means they weren't heard.

Being heard, does it mean that people just lay down and take your word for what you said? I'm convicted in my beliefs. So it's reasonable that you're going to have to do more than just say you're wrong or you're stupid to get me to change my mind.

That's, that's, that does not mean that you weren't heard. That does not mean that your opinion didn't matter.

And I think we really need to make sure that we are looking at all sides of things. Also know there's some of y'all that you listen to this show and you vote. I don't ever tell you not to.
