Abortion is NOT About Morality
Friday May 27, 2022
Friday May 27, 2022
The most contentious issue in US politics is abortion.
It is also the most misunderstood.
In this WanderLearn Show, I'll show you that polar opposite sides of the abortion debate agree with each other.
Both sides are armed with irrelevant moral issues that distract from the main issue.
In our effort to simplify the debate and demonize the opposite side, we lose all nuance.
Share this podcast with whoever you're debating and perhaps you can find some common ground or at least you'll understand what is the true source of your disagreement.
Be sure to watch the show until the end, when I lighten up the serious topic.

Bitcoin’s Stock-To-Flow (S2F) 2022 Analysis + Price Prediction
Monday May 09, 2022
Monday May 09, 2022
Watch the May 2022 video
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E3BWdciKZ7c
Once a year, I review Plan B's stock-to-flow model, which predicts Bitcoin's price. I first critiqued it on May 11, 2020, which was the day of the 3rd Bitcoin halving. Plan B blocked me because of it.
Last year, on May 11, 2021, I reflected on how well the price had been tracking the model, but I warned that we should not become overly exuberant. I predicted that we would drop below $40,000 in 2022, perhaps below $30,000, and maybe even below $20,000. It all seemed rather ludicrous given that BTC was at $55,000. Still, I insisted that on May 11, 2022, things would be far more "sober."
As I write this on May 9, 2022, Bitcoin is trading at $31,000. See my video (which was filmed on May 9, when BTC was around $35,000).

ASIAN & AMERICAN Have Much Broader Meanings and Definitions!
Thursday May 05, 2022
Thursday May 05, 2022
People who call themselves "Asians" and "Americans" have usurped words that have a much broader definition than the one most people use today.
If you don't understand, please listen to this mini-podcast!
And give me feedback below on what would be a good solution.
Here are some ideas:
American => Gringo or Yank(ee)
Asian => East Asian
Or let East Asians keep "Asian" as their term and then we refer to things from Asia as "Oriental" (Asia used to be called "the Orient").
What do you think?
You can give feedback on Speakpipe or email (see below).
Mini-podcast episodes
In 2021, I made a 30-min WanderLearn episode about 12 words/phrases that are commonly misused.
Although the video and podcast got decent attention, some people have a short attention span.
Therefore, I broke that long episode into short segments that are easy to share.
These bite-sized chunks are perfect for sharing.
You might only agree with three of my suggestions and not all 12.
Therefore, evangelize the words/phrases you want the world to change. Together, we can change their use. Yes, it's ambitious, but let's embark on this journey!
