Maybe Three Right Turns can help.

3RT:6 - The Unbearable Whiteness of Being

This week on 3RT, we’ll be talking about Whiteness. More and more we hear that whites are in trouble in America. They’re facing economically anxiety, they’re depressed, they’re suicidal, they’re resentful. But we’re also told that nearly everything we value in society; democracy, art, science, and philosophy has been largely shaped by white culture. But what does it mean to be white? What is white culture? Does white culture need to be protected and preserved?

3RT:5 - Looking Through the Overton Window

In this podcast, I recount the time I accidentally played a minor role in starting RedState.com and discovered the power of the Overton Window.

3RT:4 - The Law in all its Majestic Equality

It's the feedback episode! Plus, discussion of the Supreme Court's 9th Circuit decision not to hear an appeal on the homeless sleeping in public. Have a great holiday, whatever you're celebrating, and an even better new year. We'll see you in 2020! (*Insert your preferred hindsight joke here)

3RT:3 - Ferengi Democrat

The problems of capitalism are legion, and for many, 21st century life in these United States is harder than it should be. Enter socialism! Is it the silver bullet cure for all that ails society? A.Ron once again calls upon his ancient Star Trek fandom, rubbing his lobes and counting his latinum, as he lays out the problems he has with socialism and how the Left struggles to articulate theory and advocate for policy. Also; a listener makes a case for billionaires!

3RT:2 - Star Trek Republican

This week we talk about how my love for Star Trek informs my vision of the future. To give us our best shot at boldly going towards this future, we'll need to maximize our human capital to enable our best and brightest around the globe to create new technologies and new ways to organize society for the task. I argue the value of this proposition over aimlessly shuffling towards a future dystopia. Finally, I consider some bad faith criticism of 3RT so we can get that out of the way early.

3RT:1 - Introduction!

Welcome to the first episode of Three Right Turns! Here I make a case for what I want to say on this new platform, and why you might be interested hearing about politics from my point of view. I talk about my cultural, political, and religious background, and how it has informed my beliefs in philosophy in the past down to present day. Then I outline the objectives for 3RT; introducing progressive political and economic ideas and policy to audiences more right-leaning than myself, among others.
