1561 D&S: Doug and Strickland Go Quantum Computing! Dec 13, 2024

Show notes

Hold on, these 2 dimwits are discussing quantum computing? They probably think it's a Scott Bakula show from the 80's about time travel, if it wasn't on ABC, NBC, or CBS when they had to get off of the couch to change the channel, it would blow right through their feeble brains. And hey, it's Friday the 13th! So I've got that going for me, which is nice.

David Prescott and Michael Ashley: The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly of Environmental, Social, and Governance Dec 11, 2024

Show notes

W. David Prescott is a seasoned geologist and environmental consultant with over 30 years of experience. He has led numerous projects across the U.S., balancing environmental responsibility with economic growth, and is recognized for his work in groundwater protection and contaminated site remediation. Prescott advocates for market-driven solutions to sustainability, combining his expertise with leadership roles on community and state boards to influence policies promoting both ecological health and economic prosperity.

Michael Ashley is a former Disney screenwriter and the author of over fifty books. He is a sought-after keynote speaker and official speaker for Vistage, an executive coaching company. His work has appeared in various media outlets, and he also teaches screenwriting and writes a weekly Substack column, The Great Wakeup.

In this episode, Doug is joined by David Prescott and Michael Ashley to discuss:

The real implications of ESG mandates on businesses and society
The role of ESG in reshaping capitalism and its effect on meritocracy
How ESG compares to the Chinese social credit system
The environmental, social, and governance criteria and their conflicts
The economic and national security risks posed by current ESG practices

Key Takeaways:

ESG mandates are not just about ethical business; they are a selective use of ethics that impacts free enterprise and capitalism at its core.
The environmental focus of ESG heavily influences agriculture and energy industries, leading to potential supply shortages and inflation.
While ESG aims to address climate change, its global inconsistency undermines its efficacy and fairness.
Free enterprise and innovation could be better drivers of sustainability than external ESG pressures.
The book "Creative Destruction" provides an engaging way to understand these issues through a mix of fiction and exhaustive research.

"If we take hydrocarbons out of agriculture, we could see a 60 to 80% decline in grain crops in the United States." — David Prescott

1556 D&S: Doug and Strickland are Thankful for Something Nov 29, 2024

Show notes

I don't know what, I didn't listen far enough into the episode to hear what they're actually thankful for. You know, with ChatGPT and AI and all that, you'd think they could get better show notes written by a ChatBot, right? But would it have the rapier whit that I have? Probably not, but it might actually listen to the whole episode and give you more accurate notes. Truth and accuracy are overrated, look at how many people voted for Trump. BTW- If you don't live in the US and you are thinking "What the actual fuck happened? How did that orange dipshit get re-elected?" You're not alone. 70 million of us are still thinking the same thing.
