A Defense of the Practicality and Morality of Interest
New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 187
On both Left and Right, our young people are turning against the concept of interest, like money making money for being loaned out. This is an emergency, frankly. Not only does interest make total and absolute sense when you understand what it pays for, it is also an economic and moral good in society. Given current trends, it seems imperative to share the real foundations of monetary interest and how it produces moral and economic goods we should be happy about. In this episode of New Discourses Bullets, host James Lindsay goes through the basic economics and makes the case. Like most of his economically oriented podcasts, this one was recorded and shared particularly with younger listeners in mind, so join him and share the message with those people who need it most.

New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 186 There's a fundamental difference between mere power and legitimate authority, and that difference needs to be dragged into the center of our political discussions against Woke. Power is the raw capacity to do something, but authority is something more. It's power, which is to say capacity and permission, combined with right, which is justification. Woke movements covet power. They have no genuine authority. In that gap all the difference that matters hides. Our forefathers in the American Founding era understood this and called power without authority "arbitrary power," which they found slavish and absurd, and believed to be their sacred duty as men to resist. In this episode of New Discourses Bullets, host James Lindsay does a kind of "book club" reading from Timothy Sandefur's new book Proclaiming Liberty: John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, and the Declaration of Independence, to draw out this distinction and make it clear and relevant. Join him for an important discussion, and get the book for yourself.

New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 185 Woke beliefs, including in the potential success of socialism, antiracism, etc., are held on faith. That faith is just like the faith discussed in Hebrews 11 except bogus, a false hope in something they believe is assured but unseen and a confidence in its eventual emergence. This core faith tells us a few important things about Woke, including the idea that the fulfillment of their beliefs lies in the future, not the past or present, and also that the reason they must wait for that fulfillment is primarily the hindrances and opposition of their political enemies. In this episode of New Discourses Bullets, host James Lindsay breaks this down and offers some suggestions for how to engage in light of this proper understanding of Woke thinking. Join him for clarity and some genuinely practical suggestions.

Why does every totalitarian system enact so many and such brutal purges, even genocides, of its enemies? The reason is the logic of the systems themselves, which guarantee it. That logic proceeds on the idea that if the system is failing, it's because people who oppose or sabotage it must still be out in the world and must be stopped or destroyed. In this chilling episode of New Discourses Bullets, host James Lindsay dives into the essential logic of the totalitarian mindset and makes this terrifying fact clear. Join him to understand what we're dealing with on a new, even deeper level.
