Summary
... like good old fashioned pedophilia? I've some miscellany and voicemails! The theme of today's show is centered around people (usually white men) complaining about what they are losing when standards change. For example, us evil progressives have taken away this immensely popular picture of a sexual assault. And, for some reason, Eric Weinstein thinks the Simpsons taking down their Michael Jackson episode is bad? I also talk about lowering the voting age (and raising it.)

| 0:00.0 | You're listening to serious inquiries only. Oh, Hello and welcome to serious inquiries only this is episode 184 I'm your host Thomas Smith and I have some |
| 0:36.1 | miscellany I want to talk about as well as a few voicemails that I think will pair nicely |
| 0:41.1 | like a good wine with the miscellany. I want to talk about lowering the voting age. I want to talk about some more white fragility stuff this time vis-à-vis maybe we should elect a non-white or maybe |
| 0:56.8 | non-male president and some other stuff I've got I've got some good topics I just you know I have found that I want to talk about |
| 1:06.0 | culture worse stuff lately because I just feel like that's where maybe I can do some good or that's where I feel like I have the most insight lately. |
| 1:15.8 | I just feel like there's a logical non-overreaction way to look at stuff when it comes to these issues that I feel like I'm just |
| 1:26.7 | trying to model maybe for other white men. I think there's a you know there's a real |
| 1:32.3 | tendency to overreact to certain things and I think I try to |
| 1:36.7 | bring some perspective to it so it's kind of been what I've been interested in |
| 1:39.9 | lately hopefully it's been interesting to you but I think we've got some good issues to talk about today. |

| 2:04.2 | I realized when I saw that there was a bill potentially to reduce the voting age to 16 and that was introduced sponsored by Iana Presley who was |
| 2:18.7 | one of the women in that iconic photo the other week that was that was just such a cool photo which also had of course AOC and |
| 2:26.7 | Rashita Tlaib really cool picture check that out if you haven't seen it just |
| 2:31.3 | just Google it but anyway she introduced a bill or |
| 2:34.8 | co-sponsored a bill possibly to lower the voting age to 16 and I just decided it just |
| 2:42.4 | kind of occurred to me as I was thinking through that |
| 2:45.0 | that I have a knockdown argument and I could play Twitter on Easy Mode. |
