Just Right Media We analyze issues of the day from the perceptive of individual rights & capitalism. Our radio show b Everything in the show ties to this lesson or concept.

From a listener

"As you guys know I’m a huge fan of Just Right, and I’ve been thinking a lot about it lately; what is it about Just Right that is so appealing to me and what is that magic element that is missing from all other podcasts? I’ve realized over time, that what sets Just Right apart, and this has not changed since episode #1, is that there is ALWAYS an organized, well thought out, c

ompelling and significant lesson. With the addition of Robert, there are often two concepts, making him such a great addition. I would imagine that it’s this part of any podcast / presentation, that takes all the effort and thought ! "Contrast this to other podcasts…..in politics and philosophy, generally they are unorganized, the lessons are scattered and improvised and somewhat repetitious. Not to say that they have nothing to offer, but the majority of them don’t require a second listen and if they do, there is a lot of fast forwarding to get to the good part. Just Right has some similarity to other types of shows, like weird and wonderful fact shows (Stuff You Should Know Series, BBC, CBC), in that they are organized like Just Right, however, the content is rather insignificant, non-controversial and often just plain wrong, scattered and confused. I get so ticked off with CBC sometimes, like the other day the Title was “Fascism, can it happen here?”, and they start the show with snippets of Trump speeches and move on from there interviewing progressive, “experts”, never once asking what Fascism is to begin with….absolute garbage. "Anyway, just wanted to tell you that with every show, I learn something, and this “something” is always significant, that I ponder for days, weeks and even years. It really is a unique experience that enriches my life greatly, which is why I support the show in what I consider to be an insignificant way……which is the point I guess, otherwise it would be a sacrifice……LOL! Thanks again guys!"

The artificial debate about Artificial Intelligence (AI): It's interesting to observe how words like 'intelligent' and 'smart' are being used to describe devices that are anything but.

There is no doubt that technological advancements have produced machines and computer programs that appear to behave or respond 'intelligently,' and the speed with which computers can calculate, compute, and otherwise perform 'automated' physical functions is far more efficient than what is 'humanly' possible. We have come to refer to these inventions broadly as Artificial Intelligence (AI).

But efficiency alone is not a measure of intelligence. Like shovels, hammers and electrical appliances, computers are just tools. And while all tools are more efficient than direct human physical effort, tools are nevertheless an extension of human intelligence. They are labor saving devices which save effort, something no machine could ever experience.

As a tool, AI is not to be feared, but embraced as such. However, there is a great danger in equating 'artificial' intelligence with human intelligence or reason.

No matter how 'human' AI can seem when participating in conversations or performing research, this is illusionary. Or to put it bluntly, it is 'artificial.'

AI is incapable of 'experiencing' events or of relating to reality in a way that would lead to anything resembling 'self-awareness.'

Artificial Intelligence could never 'appreciate' anything; it would be incapable of appreciation. AI could never relate to things like beauty, sexuality, art , music, literature, purpose, personal preferences, likes and dislikes, color, sounds, values, independence, free will, pain, pleasure, friendship, fear, love, and of course the ultimate human structure of life: family and children.

It is the emotional and biological dimensions of humanity that no AI could ever experience. Thus the danger in equating 'artificial' intelligence with human intelligence or reason lies in the false premises and unreal controversies that arise.

For example, in the overarching debate about Artificial Intelligence, two views have arisen that argue the same false proposition. While one side argues that Artificial Intelligence elevates machines to some human standard, the other argues that human beings are only machines, and behave just as deterministically as any mechanical process. Each side is reflecting an artificial identity.

Unfortunately, many human beings are falling into the same dilemma when they allow their 'operating systems' to be programmed by Artificial Information, the 'AI' we should really be concerned about.

Given recent pending legislation regarding the regulation of AI, there have been calls to 'democratize' its regulation, which again comes with great risks.

When it comes to infusing 'democracy' and politics into the AI debate, especially when applying AI itself to that debate, the bias of those who program AI will become a part of any AI 'reasoning' process. AI will no doubt be programmed to assess political ideas on the basis of the fake political spectrum, and not on the natural polarities of Left and Right.

On such a premise, AI could never offer any consistently reliable assessments of political situations, a problem already being encountered with failed AI attempts to argue legal cases or prescribe medical prescriptions. Ironically, this failure has been attributed to something called the "AI hallucination problem," once again based on some association with 'intelligence.'

Fundamentally, it all boils down to a recognition of what Artificial Intelligence actually is, combined with the proper programming (using valid concepts and definitions), that will ultimately prove AI's value, not just to physical labor and production, but also to humanity's political and social environment.

To put AI on the side of the betterment of mankind, we must ensure that it is used in a way that adopts the principles already known to be Just Right, human principles and values based on individualism, freedom, and capitalism.

The defining point: EVIL is LIVE spelled backwards: There is a symbolic truth to the saying that 'EVIL is LIVE spelled backwards.' After all, the defining point of 'evil' concerns life itself.

But 'evil', like 'good', is an abstract concept. Being able to see and recognize evil when one encounters it often seems even more difficult than trying to define it.

The most popular form of evil is generally known by another name: socialism. That too few are able to equate socialism with evil is cause for concern, to say the least. But that so many equate socialism with the good is cause for outright alarm.

Dennis Prager of PragerU has advised that "wisdom begins with understanding that human nature is not basically good, nor evil." In choosing socialism, most do not understand either the principles of socialism itself, nor the nature of the evil that makes socialism possible.

Thus it is essential to listen to the growing number of people who have lived and suffered under socialism now coming forward to sound the alarm. To that end we have recently featured accounts of how socialism manifested itself in countries like North Korea, Senegal, Venezuela, and Iran. As Venezuelan immigrant Daniel Di Martino describes his personal mission: "I decided to educate Americans on the horrors of socialism."

People who have freedom tend to take it for granted. But the fragility of freedom can never be overstated. Sometimes, to see and appreciate what one has at hand, it is necessary to look beyond, to appreciate what those in other nations do not have and wish they did.

It's called freedom and it's found exclusively on the political polarity that's Just Right.

The trans political language barrier—Left and Right: Missing from most discussions about the political Left and Right are any consistent and accurate definitions of each polarity in terms of its principles.

WOKE joke—the fallacy of the WOKE Right: By inventing the term 'WOKE Right', author, mathematician and cultural critic James Lindsay has created a nonsensical anti-concept that has done more damage to causes on the Right than any fake news media could. Fake concepts are far more dangerous than fake news narratives.

In the intellectual confusion surrounding political concepts, it should not be surprising that many on the Right have come to both accept - and fear - being labeled 'WOKE.' But the joke is on them, and it was made possible by yet another political fiction called the 'political spectrum.'

The 'political spectrum' was perhaps the most brilliant and effective propaganda victory that the Left ever created. Following the political maxim of 'define or be defined,' the Left succeeded in defining the Right as simply another variant of the Left - fascist instead of communist or socialist.

Lindsay has mischievously created the concept of WOKE Right in such a convoluted way as to make any objective understanding of either word impossible. Worse, the concept of 'WOKE' serves no useful purpose as an adjective. The term 'WOKE Right' is a contradiction. The term 'WOKE Left' is redundant.

In the face of this epistemological reality, it is difficult to view the term WOKE Right without attaching some kind of sinister agenda to its use. James Lindsay already had established a reputation as a hoaxer; could it be that he has again been perpetrating a hoax, for purposes yet to be revealed?

The term WOKE Right creates nothing but intellectual confusion, since it is an 'anti-concept,' described in 1971 by Ayn Rand as "an unnecessary and rationally unusable term designed to replace and obliterate some legitimate concept."

Thanks to a 'political spectrum' that allows for an infinite variety of anti-conceptual political definitions, today's Right continues to be a 'broken' Right, ever fragmenting into smaller and more numerous variants. In allowing themselves to be guided by a broken political compass, those on the Right are finding themselves gravitating into the center of a fascist political abyss from which there may be no recovery.

Unless enough people come to discover what is Just Right, rather than any other version of Right defined by an adjective, the principles of individualism, capitalism, and freedom will be nowhere to be found on any political spectrum.

VERITAS!—to tyranny: In speaking truth to tyranny, it is necessary to expose both the immorality and historical record of socialism, its most widely recognized cause.

Despite its destructive consequences, the popularity of socialism persists, and this does not bode well for those who adopt socialism. As Senegal's Magatte Wade illustrates, Africa's poverty and tyranny are a direct consequence of "the deadly ideology of socialism," an ideology also being practiced in Canada.

In fact, Canada's recent political history provides a testimony to the tyranny caused by socialism, a tyranny not so unlike that which has been experienced in Africa.

The Freedom Convoy in 2022 provided both a literal and symbolic example of just how far from a free democracy Canada had drifted. Peacefully organized to oppose COVID-19 vaccine mandates along with all COVID-19 restrictions and lockdowns, the Canadian government responded to the convoy and other protestors with force.

From Justin Trudeau's open support for Communist China's dictatorship, to the Canadian government's support for the war in Ukraine, to Mark Carney's plans to allow the government to open private mail and to make illegal any cash transactions of $10,000 or more, Canada's identity as a full-fledged tyranny is becoming a fait accompli.

Throughout it all, there have been no voices within parliament willing to even speak about the crisis, let alone do something about it. This is understandable, given that parliamentary MPs of all political parties supported the undemocratic and illegal actions of the government against its citizens.

However, as a consequence of the last federal election, that dynamic has now changed.

Vowing to speak truth to power, two new voices calling to hold those accountable for the injustice wrought upon Canadians have recently been added to Canada's House of Commons: Matt Strauss, representing the riding of Kitchener South-Hespler, and Andrew Lawton, representing the riding of Elgin-St Thomas-London South.

Their maiden speeches in the House of Commons were unlike anything heard from any federal political party, let alone from representatives of the Conservative Party of Canada (CPC). The CPC's recent past policies and support of the Liberal agenda - from war to Covid to climate change policies - were the very things condemned by each.

Explicitly identifying and condemning socialism as the root cause of Canada's dysfunction, both MPs made it clear that the state's "assault of freedom will not stand" and that "repackaging socialist plans in banker's socks" is not fooling any of the legal immigrants who came to Canada to escape socialism.

It will be very interesting to see how the CPC under Pierre Poilievre will treat its MPs who express ideas that the CPC would not allow only a few short years ago.

One thing is certain: the more voices speaking out against socialism in a way that is Just Right, the better the odds of holding those accountable for all the things they did that were just wrong.

VERITAS!—to freedom: 'Veritas' is the Latin word for 'truth' and is also the name of a Roman goddess who represents truthfulness and virtue. One individual well known for having his name associated with this word is James O'Keefe, founder of Project Veritas.

His expressed experience after having been 'fired' from his own organization reflects certain principles in common with politics, as recently illustrated by seemingly unrelated accounts of life in North Korea today and life during the fall of the Roman Empire.

In speaking truth to freedom, all of these accounts cite the reality that truth itself - veritas - is a key value and virtue upon which any free society depends. Is it any wonder then that unfree collectivist societies and globalists fear the truth more than almost anything else on the planet?

The eternal fundamental political struggle represented by the political polarities of Left and Right is that between collectivism and individualism. To the degree that a society is collectivist, its citizens have less freedom and less prosperity. To the degree that a society is individualist, both freedom and prosperity are the result.

Yet despite the 'lessons of history' and publicized current events presenting horrific evidence against collectivist ideologies, the popularity of 'socialism' is nevertheless gaining traction among many. For example, the Democratic Socialists of America have claimed that they "are committed to transforming our society into one based on collective ownership" under the delusionary belief that this will bring "freedom, equality, and solidarity" to society.

But the flaw in this plan is that there simply is no such thing as 'collective' ownership. As Isabel Paterson, author of The God of the Machine warned in 1943, "Group ownership as the norm of property requires the denial of liberty to persons." (Which is exactly why those on the Left support it.)

Ownership and property are 'private' concepts, and cannot be applied to any collectives. 'Public' property is a fiction that is easily exposed in any attempt to exercise it. Worse, the word 'public' in this context invariably means 'government' and the state. 'Public education' is a euphemism for 'state education,' just as 'public health care' is a euphemism for a state monopoly in healthcare. Indeed, socialism and communism alike have been defined as 'state ownership and control of the means of production.'

We are living at a time when the Left is calling for both 'collective ownership' and for a society in which 'we will own nothing and be happy.' Ironically, a society in which we own nothing is a perfect description of a society based on 'collective' ownership. They're one and the same thing.

Like property and ownership, citizenship too is a private concept, given that each citizen is a private individual. And it is as individuals that each citizen has a stake in his or her society, which must be exercised responsibly. And just as there is no such thing as 'collective' ownership, so too there is no such thing as a 'collective' responsibility.

Freedom and responsibility are indivisible and only applicable to individuals.

But until the concepts of 'public' and 'private' are understood and contrasted in a way that is Just Right, the distinction between them will continue to be lost, as will the possibility of restoring or preserving a free society comprised of free citizens.

What's so funny?—just about everything: What's so funny? What's 'funny' can be something that causes us to laugh or be amused, or it can also refer to something that is peculiar, strange, or odd. That's probably why just about all things and people have something that could be said to be 'funny' about them.

We live in an age when it has become difficult to satirize the actions of many of the world's politicians and political activists. They have become so ridiculous and disconnected from reality that any such attempt is impossible to make funnier than the object of the satire already is.

So to take a break from all of the not-so-'funny' things going on in the world today, let's take a look at humor in its various basic forms, from the popular appeal of simple 'groaners,' riddles and jokes, to the fascination with dark humor and historical events.

From the amusing to the peculiar, traditional humor still has a broad appeal for many. After all, a sense of humor is an essential part of common sense. That's why there's no one way to look at comedy or humor that's Just Right, especially when it's funny.

The epistemology of God—and the debate over nothing: Whether theist or atheist, both sides of the debate usually share the same logical fallacy - the fallacy of non-existence. On that premise, science invented the 'big bang' theory while religion invented the 'creation' narrative.

At the heart of the dilemma lies the attempt to resolve a philosophical issue (the nature and fact of existence) by means other than philosophy. Neither science nor faith alone are capable of addressing such an issue.

The flaw in most of the 'creation of the universe' theories and beliefs is that they presume that there was once a condition of 'non-existence' out of which arose existence itself. It is not even possible to conceptualize a condition described as 'non-existence' and with good reason; any attempt to do so is contradictory.

To suggest that 'nothing exists' or or to refer to the 'existence of non-existence' is self contradictory and therefore meaningless. Yet from science to religion, we see an acceptance of the 'existence of non existence' as if that was some kind of valid premise on which to base any theories or beliefs.

To resolve the contradiction, religion's narratives describe the 'creation' of the universe by a supernatural being most commonly referred to as God. Science has popularized a 'big bang' origin of the universe, followed by evolutionary processes that continue to shape the universe and life into that which exists today.

It must be made clear that by speaking of 'existence,' we are not referring to any specific entities or existent within the universe. Everything in the universe comes into existence and goes out of existence, subject to the law of identity. But the universe itself is another matter; it is the 'supreme being' - the 'being' of all, of existence itself.

To the supreme being has been given the name of God - and whether one relates to existence either by referring to 'existence' literally, or to God as the supreme being, each concept is axiomatic. This means that neither can be 'proven' or 'disproven' in any meaningful or valid way because any attempt to do so will result in contradiction.

Existence exists, and that reality must simply be accepted as axiomatic. Trying to find 'explanations' for existence is a futile exercise, and diminishes both religion and science in the attempt to do so.

Science is meant to investigate that which exists, not to entertain notions of that which does not exist. And religion is meant to provide a basis of morality and to develop a code of behavior that that supports and enhances human life, not to embark on metaphysical expeditions in an attempt to compete with science.

Unless each discipline restricts itself to its own jurisdiction of endeavor, resolving any theories of 'creation' either by science or by faith is very unlikely to result in any understanding of existence that is Just Right.

In the third installment of our discussion on neoconservatism, Professor Salim Mansur examines the post-Soviet era, a period marked by complex dynamics and post-Cold War tensions. Rather than embracing Russia as a potential ally and a nascent democracy recovering from decades of communism and autocratic rule, the United States eventually came to cast it as a new "monster to destroy."

This shift undermined America's founding principle of rational isolationism with limited international engagement as it sought to maintain hegemony in an emerging multipolar world. The pivot fueled hostility both domestically and internationally, channeling billions into the military-industrial complex and perpetuating endless conflict.

Central to this narrative is the unwavering defense of Israel, which, alongside the focus on Russia, shapes American foreign policy. Crafted by neoconservatives and embraced by hawks across administrations since George H. W. Bush, this dual focus has defined U.S. global strategy. The neoconservative agenda, explicitly outlined in the Project for the New American Century (1997), drove NATO expansion and heightened tensions in the Middle East.

Ultimately, neoconservatism has betrayed America’s early ideals, costing countless lives, squandering vast fortunes, and tarnishing the reputation of a once-great nation.

Monsters to destroy—for the neocon agenda: "On July 4, 1821, John Quincy Adams delivered the most-remembered speech of his career. The oration’s resounding climax included several famous lines – that America 'goes not abroad in search of monsters to destroy,' for example, and that an America that aspired to world leadership, even in the name of noble ideas, would be led astray: 'She might become the dictatress of the world. She would be no longer the ruler of her own spirit.' Even as American foreign policy has warped in many of the ways Adams foresaw, it has been unable to bury his powerful words." (-from the 'John Quincy Adams Society' website)

It is in this light that controversial issues like America's foreign policy, the war in Ukraine, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, globalism, a one world government, and significantly - Zionism and the neocon movement - are now being discussed. Complicating the discussion is the constant matter of definition and context.

"Narratives are built by removing history," observes Salim Mansur, so as to "serve the interest of whoever you are advocating for."

Not surprisingly, with the re-introduction of the relevant history into the narrative, one soon discovers that the narrative often changes radically, rarely serving the narrow interests of those promoting the original.

Narratives are also manufactured by changing definitions and manipulating language. For example, in the ongoing conversation that constantly requires a clarification of conflicting definitions, the neocon movement is neither 'new' nor 'conservative' but represents an attempt to establish a 'one-world' government at the expense of the sovereignty of nations.

Prepared by the Project for the New American Century (PNAC), the 1992 draft Defense Planning Guidance (DPG) was the source of ideas summarized in a report titled 'Rebuilding America's Defenses' which essentially outlined a three pronged strategy to maintain America's rule over the entire globe.

The first objective was to prevent the emergence of a rival superpower; the second, to safeguard US interests and promote American values; and the third, to ensure that the US be prepared to take unilateral action, thus removing it from within the framework of international law.

Or in other words, and in direct contrast to John Quincy Adams' warning that America not go abroad in search of monsters to destroy, a unilateral decision was made to do the exact opposite. In so doing, the neocons are always creating crisis after crisis, so as to justify taking unilateral action against whatever imagined foe - from Russia to Covid - must be defeated.

Given the neocon objective of seeking 'monsters to destroy,' it seems Just Right that this agenda should itself be considered monstrous.
