Human-Nature-Progress-Random-Thoughts-Bob Davis Podcast 875
Winter Is Here…Already
I think it’s time to talk about a more reflective season. Winter is here in Minnesota. Even though it’s only Veterans Day, it’s winter. More time spent reading, streaming TV and more. We’ll talk about it in Human-Nature-Progress-Random-Thoughts-Bob Davis Podcast 875.
Two Recent Podcasts Highlighted
First of all I have to start with a review of my two recent podcasts with Congressman Tom Emmer. You can listen to them here and here. At one point in posting content on social media, I mentioned those two podcasts would be impossible on the radio today.
Mission Of The Bob Davis Podcasts
Moreover it reminds of me the mission of the Bob Davis Podcasts these days. Especially relevant is the need to say, and say again, I am not driven by wanting to be in a specific political or social construct.
Biggest Problem In Media Today
In addition it is necessary for me to say not only do I not want to be a ‘this or that’, I think the biggest problem in media today is most of the commentators, reporters, and so called analysts seem to need and want to come from a partisan perspective.
Some People Need Acceptance…Apparently
I think it is the wanting, even more the need to be accepted by some group. Learn more in Human-Nature-Progress-Random-Thoughts-Bob Davis Podcast 875.
Playing To The Crowd
Furthermore playing to an audience adds to the problem.
Say What We Want To Hear
Audiences expect content creators to say certain things. To defend or attack to shore up expectations. To say what they want to hear.
Not My Mission
Of course this is not my mission. My mission is to progress. To be decidedly unpredictable. To refuse a side. Ask questions. Advance the story. Artists progress, sometimes to the dismay of their audiences. Think Picasso, or even Elton John’s changes in style critics did not necessarily liike.
Don’t Follow. Lead!
Sometimes you have to lead the audience.
Human Progress?
I also thought a lot recently about human consciousness. Whether we are making progress. You hear a lot of talk these days about how much progress human beings are supposedly making.
You’ll have to listen to the podcast to get an idea of what I think.
Confusion
Finally the question of the progress of human consciousness leads me to wonder how we got where we are today. So much confusion about who’s right and wrong, what direction works, failing institutions and new ideas.
From Podcasts To The Wreck Of The Edmund Fitzgerald In This Podcast
Therefore it is a fitting random discussion that takes us from recent podcasts to The Wreck Of The Edmund Fitzgerald, the role of artists, and more.
I had a lot of fun with this one.
