Political Chatter

These days there’s a lot of political chatter. We’ll talk about it in Real-Talk-2020-Election-Issues-Bob Davis Podcast 871.

Who the candidates are.

Who’s going to be nominated.

Which ones will win. It seems to change every week.

Not Much Real Talk About Issues

In contrast there hasn’t been a lot of talk about the issues. We’ll do that it in Real-Talk-2020-Election-Issues-Bob Davis Podcast 871.

Our Dream State Of Politics

This podcast opens with a quote about the dreamlike nature of our politics. Then there are the pundits who seem to want to break it down with percentages and numbers. To advocate. The desire is to make a call and tell you who’s going to win.

I won’t do that.

Art Not Science

Politics is more of an art than a science.

Personalities and Partisanship

In 2020 it may come down to personalities and partisanship, not polling and elections data from yesteryear.

Emotions Make Bad Decisions

Moreover I don’t think people driven by emotion, and armed with conspiracy theory, make decisions based on the so called ‘issues’.

Fluid Issues

Issues are also fluid. Killing a famous terrorist changes the fortunes of a president.

In addition so can a series of bad economic numbers or an economic crisis.

One day’s high is the next day’s low.

Long Lists Of Issues

I researched issues. Got long lists of ‘issues’. Certainly many of those ‘issues‘ are included in this podcast. Do they mean anything?

What The Media Is Selling You Already

Will these issues drive the election? That’s what most of the media is selling you.

Not me.

In contrast I’ve picked four key themes I think may have a big impact on what happens in 2020. Let’s not forget we don’t directly elect presidents in the US. We do directly elect congress and our statewide representatives and governors. Those elections are important too.

Themes

In conclusion it’s necessary say again I am not supporting or fighting against any candidate. I am not trying to convince listeners and subscribers we need to move a certain way in this country. You listen. Make your own calls.

Moonlight-WalkandTalk-EpsteinFreeZone-Bob Davis Podcast 854

Brand New Full Moon

I don’t think there’s anything like a brand new full moon on an August night. These days you take those small wonderful moments where you find them. We’ll talk about the moon and the night. Anything but ‘the News’ in Moonlight-WalkandTalk-EpsteinFreeZone-Bob Davis Podcast 854.

Artistic Business

I’ve been busy with details lately. The Bob Davis Podcasts is an artistic business. In addition, when I network I find explaining what I do can be a challenge.

Presentation Time

Moreover in my little networking group we do five minute presentations about our business twice a year. That means a Powerpoint or Keynote presentation. In this podcast I’ll take some time to explain how I do those. Hint. Practice makes perfect.

Listener Applause For My Non Partisan Approach

What’s especially relevant about this podcast is the experience I am beginning to have with podcast listeners and subscribers. People are beginning to applaud my non partisan approach to politics and society. It’s nice to get compliments on something I have been working so hard on.

Society Over Politics

Even more I’ll give you a little background on why I have decided to talk more about society, rather than advocating in the political day to day back and forth. Seems like the tweeters and magpies on the line screaming and yelling are forced to scream and yell louder to get your attention.

People Tune Out Partisan Political Talk

Moreover the tweets and shouts and theories also have to be ratcheted up to raise the stakes. In conclusion it’s now at the point where it is absurd. More and more people are telling me they have tuned it out.

Freeway Traffic Idiocy and A Full Moon

Hence a pleasant walk in the moonlight. Sometimes it’s a lot of fun to have a conversation about business presentations, freeway traffic idiocy and an amazing full moon. I never thought I would say that but it’s true.

Finally Some Electromagnetic Pulse Thoughts

Finally listeners have been telling me I forgot one pet disaster theory in the recent Prepper podcast. That theory? Electromagnetic Pulse. Learn more in Moonlight-WalkandTalk-EpsteinFreeZone-Bob Davis Podcast 854.

An Epstein Free Zone

So enjoy the full moon and this amazing late August weather while it lasts! Oh by the way. Welcome to the Epstein Free Zone.

Involuntary Intoxication Is A Thing

In Social-Media-Involuntary-Intoxication-Bob Davis Podcast 853 talk about an issue I am dealing with as a Content Creator.

Political Talk Sucks

These days it is more difficult than ever to talk about politics.

Bad Information

So much information is incorrect and gets to our devices faster.

Triggers Are Us

In addition, triggering an emotional reaction is what social media is designed for.

Fog Of War

Is our reality becoming a ‘fog of war‘?

Propaganda

I don’t think it’s news anymore. Users expect to be told what to think. What will happen next. Outlets oblige us whether they have enough information or not. It’s propaganda. I wonder if many of us are suffering a mild form of PTSD.

Confirmation Bias Is The Order Of The Day

Consequently first perceptions cannot be undone. Furthermore new information confirms those first biases.

Addicts

We are addicted to scrolling. Needing to check back. We need that emotional charge.

There’s a thing called Involuntary Intoxication. I know I am stretching the definition but play along.

Find out exactly what I mean in Social-Media-Involuntary-Intoxication-Bob Davis Podcast 853.

Defending A Social Norm

In conclusion you can’t talk nuts and bolts politics with people who believe in conspiracy theories and superstitions.

Borderline Behavior

Constantly enraged. Defending a social norm. Forming hard opinions based on fantasy. Do those emotional states lead to good decision making?

The School Yard

Finally we’re not having a national discussion. It’s a school yard where adults act like eight year olds.

Swimming In A River of Low Vibration Energy

The question for content creators is whether we want to swim in a river of lower vibration. In addition do we want to contribute to the misinformation or rise above it?

Society Is My Focus

I have decided to focus on the long term. Society more than politics.

Advancing The Story

My objective as a content creator is to advance the story, and help subscribers curate the misinformation served up on their phones every second of the day.

Living Sober

We’re living in a dangerous time. The actions we support now will have reactions. I’d rather make those decisions sober.
