Ep. 0195: The Manichean Temptation

Here’s something we haven’t seen in a while — a ‘Silver Bullet DHP Episode’ (ie, one in which CJ records a mostly-extemporaneous discussion of a concept from his mobile podcasting studio, the Silver Bullet, while commuting.) Kicking it Old School DHP on this one!

Join CJ on a couple of morning commutes to work for a freewheeling discussion on the Manichean Temptation, some of its dangers and problems, some real-world manifestations of the phenomenon, and related issues like the problem with ‘extremists’ (as CJ defines them here), and the need to think not just about ends, but also about means, as well as some brief info on the ways that cults exploit the Manichean Temptation to the extreme.

Ep. 0194: Richard Jewell: A Dangerous History Movie Review

Richard Jewell is a 2019 historical drama film directed by Clint Eastwood about events surrounding the 1996 Atlanta Olympics bombing case, focused around the figure of Richard Jewell, the security guard who discovered the bomb and helped evacuate people away from it, but who was soon thereafter implicated by the FBI and elements of the media as a prime suspect.

Join CJ as he discusses:

  • The basics of the Atlanta bombing/Richard Jewell story
  • A little info about the production of the film and a brief synopsis of it
  • Some discussion of the reception the film has received, and some of the controversy surrounding it
  • CJ’s overall take on the film itself, and what both the film & its reception tell us about the FBI & the corporate media
