This week on Middle Theory we address “manufactured controversies” in society, along with a conversation with Darren Grimes and Adam Loyal about their new “Thirteen Questions” Podcast.
Leading off this week, there’s the old saying that goes, “you become the things you hate.” That may never have been truer than in the Internet Age, where many who build reputations for themselves through various online platforms do so by engaging in attacks that foment controversy… but how much of it is “real” controversy, versus conflicts that are manufactured for purposes of self-gratification, or even in ways that can be monetized? We also relate this premise to the recent news pertaining to actor Jussie Smollett, who was charged with having arranged a fake “hate crime” in Chicago. We also take a look at the media’s response to Bernie Sanders’ announcement that he will run for president again in 2020.
Then later in the program, we are joined by Darren Grimes and Adam Loyal of the new podcast, “Thirteen Questions.” After regaining his footing in a once-failing marriage, Grimes was inspired to look at ways he might help others with their own individual paths toward self-improvement. In addition to their new podcast, we discuss a range of issues with Darren and Adam, which includes questions over the usefulness of mindfulness techniques like meditation, and the debate over whether science can prove its usefulness.

Just read a travesty hit piece on MJ saying if we erase his music where do we start…basically white douche privilege weekend warrior wants to say any music MJ influenced should be erased? You know what that means my brothers and sisters…say good bye to your music…yet Manson’s music isn’t erased is it? It’s actually a collectors item… So based on justice warrior logic if a person invents the cure for cancer then gets accused of a horrible crime you would destroy the cure because you are an idiot that can’t separate work from man, fiction and fact, object and subject, situation and mindset, cause and effect…

What happened? Narration basically. Some guy said a practiced speech some other people wrote and the good voters of America put all the chips on it…the end…
