Tweet Occasionally I mention the “false dichotomy” but I have not done a full episode dedicated to it since Episode-874 back in April of 2012.  That is more than 5 years ago!  Since that time many of my positions have evolved but the basic concept of the false dichotomy remains. I have been thinking about this a lot lately and nothing more clearly illustrates it than this common scenario.  I will post something on say facebook along with my opinion.  In that ONE SAME post upset people will attack me for my view in the comments.  That alone means nothing but here is where it gets interesting. In that same set of comments I will be called both a  Liberal democrat snowflake that needs a safe space  And a hateful conservative republican that is to stupid and greedy to care about people Or some such version there of!  Isn’t this ironic?  That two people that literally hate each other, will both hate me and accuse me of being the other side that also hates me?  I ask you does this make any logical sense?  No it doesn’t, until you approach the question from the right angle, when we ask why this happens, vs. simply if it makes sense, it actually makes perfect sense. Join Me Today To Discuss… The facebook conversation that brought us today’s show How you have been programmed to think this way since birth Why this method of programming is done and why it works so well How we now have the monkeys policing the monkeys but no one even knows why Why most people will never break free of this programming Why breaking free is good but may not seem so at first What good does it do one to break free from the false dichotomy How to spread this type of thinking without making yourself miserable The true freedom that comes from acceptance of this reality Final thoughts on dichotomy and system based control Resources for today’s show… Join the Members Brigade The Year 31 Join Our Forum Walking To Freedom TSP Gear PermaEthos.com TspAz.com – Support TSP When You Shop Online Tax is Theft Video I Played Time – Pink Floyd Sponsors of the Day TSP Business Directory Harvest Eating Remember to comment, chime in and tell us your thoughts, this podcast is one man’s opinion, not a lecture or sermon.

TweetBailey Reutzel of MoneyTripping.com Bailey Reutzel is an independent freelance journalist covering the intersection of finance, culture and technology. She started writing about bitcoin in early 2013 for American Banker and PaymentsSource and has since become one of the leading journalists covering cryptocurrency, blockchain and everything in between for publications such CoinDesk and Digital Transactions. Because of her expertise in the area, she has been asked to appear on various YouTube videos and podcasts discussing the industry, most recently on Boulder, Colorado’s local radio station KGNU for the Co-Op Power Hour. Wanting to explore the interactions everyday people have with money, including this new evolution of money, Bailey headed out on a six-month, 48-state drive blogging project called Moneytripping in the summer of 2015, where she covered bitcoin and blockchain wherever she found it. The blog is currently being turned into a Gonzo-style novel on American politics, economics and culture. Bailey joins us today to discuss “Cryptocurrency in the Real World: Who’s Using and For What?” While blockchain hype continues to consume industries of all kinds, real-world applications for the technology have been hard to come by. Blockchain is a complex system that many thought could be stripped of its cryptocurrency feature, but it’s not quite that easy. And so bitcoin still remains the most used cryptocurrency, except only at the edges, in the gray areas where traditional financial services don’t play. Yet, maybe ethereum could change some of that. Maybe ethereum with it’s more advanced blockchain on which smart contracts ride could democratize more than just payments, starting with more corporate processes than bitcoin’s consumer-facing mechanism seems to benefit.  Today we discuss all of this and more.

TweetI grew up in my teen years where I had total freedom to hunt and fish in Pennsylvania, and in Pennsylvania jug fishing is illegal (many things are illegal in Pennsylvania that don’t make sense by the way). In any event when you grow up where something is illegal you often form a negative image of it.  So growing up I came to believe that jug fishing was akin to gill netting, which I am pretty sure the folks at PA Fish and Game actually do believe. When I moved to Texas I saw jug fishing gear on the shelves at stores and started asking about it.  I learned it was a very productive way to fish but certainly not some indiscriminate method of killing millions of fish or fishing a lake to extinction. The primary fish targeted (and legal by the way) with jug are catfish and rough fish.  Rough fish include things like drum, carp and gar.  In most states where jugs are legal gear anything else must be released and there are regulations about how often your jugs must be checked, additionally in most states all jugs must labeled with your name and contact information. Before engaging in any activity covered in this podcast check your local and state regulations.  Any specific law I mention in this podcast will be a Texas law and you should not assume that it applies to you. Additionally, even in states were jug fishing is legal, some bodies of water have specific regulations.  Such as size or bag limits that are different from the state normal regs, and this can at times apply to jug fishing.  I also know some lakes in my area where jug fishing is legal but it isn’t legal in certain areas of the lake. As best I can tell at least 20 of our 50 states allow jug fishing in some way, shape or form.  Most, not all southern states do.  And to be fair our catfish populations in the south grow and reproduce faster than in many northern states. I want to also add something many people fail to realize, in many states what is illegal on public land is totally legal on private land, you do need to confirm this first.  Additionally though, if you own or your buddy owns 30 acres with a 2 acre pond surrounded by woods, how often do you expect to be checked by a fish warden said pond?  I am not suggesting anyone do anything illegal, I am though pointing out that jug fishing is not like “fishing in a barrel” it isn’t magic and it is definitely a survival skill, one that may be needed some day, so if there is a way to learn it, you may wish to. Lastly much as in about 90% of what I will cover today also applies with some adaptation to trot lines and limb lines, and in many states were jugs are illegal, trot or limb lines or both are legal, again check your local and state regs before doing any of this. Join Me Today to Discuss… What types of jug fishing are there and why do we use them Anchored jugs Drifting jugs The basic components of a jug line The jug – swim noodles, plastic bottles, etc. The main line – tarred bank line is best The fishing line – go heavy with mono The hooks – some use octopus hook or circles, I prefer O’Shaughnessy for holding power Swivels – if you don’t have them you will hate your life Anchor – should not be heavy enough to sink the jug, use half brick or one pound dumbbell The basics of constructing a jugline Dropper loops I recommend one hook per jug for a very good reason Constructing a flagging jug line Bait choices for catfish Prepared bait Shad Cut Bait – sunfish is great Live Bait Shrimp Hot Dogs Primary jugging methods Long unmonitored sets Short unmonitored sets Actively watched sets Drifting with your jugs My process for setting, checking and running a jug set Have at least 2x the number of hooks/leaders as you do jugs, 2.5 is better One driver one setter/retriever in a boat Get enough leaders set with bait for all jugs (exception for live baits) Deploy jugs, decide on depth from bottom, use rubber band trick for excess li[...]

TweetSweet Potato Ribbons and Sweet Potato Greens Accompany a Good Steak Today it is time for a relaxed and fun show, we are going to talk about one of my favorite things in the world to discuss and do, cooking.  Cooking is a life skill that is frankly dying in America. When I was in high school home economics was still a thing, mostly girls took it, or smart boys like I was who knew we would be surrounded by girls.  Something happened in my generation though, most of us knew how to cook but we seem to have failed in passing it on to the millennial generation. One of my goals at TSP is restoring skills to people, from changing a tire, to setting a trap to cooking.  Cooking gives us so much if we embrace it.  Cooking is not just a way to make food taste good, is science and history and culture all in one wonderful thing. Join Me Today As I Discuss… Yes this is a survival skill You have to eat Your health is important You need money to go further that it does for most people Some new stuff going on in the Spirko Kitchen Such an awesome way to make tacos Sweet Potato Green and Orange Stir Fry Chicken (good for pork and shrimp as well) Jack’s Asian Chile, Fish and Shrimp Soup A “Roasted” Cucumber Salad – Sort Of Chipotle Mayo that is stupid simple to make Bad Ass Guacamole that Won’t Turn Black in one day Yes I provided recipes but master techniques, flavor combinations and be fearless Resources for today’s show… Join the Members Brigade The Year 23 Join Our Forum Walking To Freedom TSP Gear PermaEthos.com TspAz.com – Support TSP When You Shop Online The Granddaddy’s Gun Club New Mexico Chili Peppers Ancho Chili Peppers La Costena Chipotle Peppers Cholula Hot Sauce Hoisin Sauce Mirin Lemon Grass Paste Ginger Paste Better than Bullion Fish Base Rice Wine Kuhn Rikon Julienne Peeler Document with All of Today’s Recipes Dirt Doctor’s Youtube Channel Think Good Thoughts – Colbie Caillat Sponsors of the Day TSP Business Directory Harvest Eating Remember to comment, chime in and tell us your thoughts, this podcast is one man’s opinion, not a lecture or sermon.
