Philosophers In Space - 0G94: The Good Place and Universalist Enlightenment

Okay, I'm finally ready. I've said my goodbyes. Our analysis here is complete, we can walk through the podcast arch and transcend to the next level of podhood. I want to thank you all for your loving patience and I leave you with this parting gift of a final wrap up of The Good Place and the ways it incorporated both Christian Universalism and Buddhism/Taoism into the final resolution. Now I'm gonna turn into a black mirror style ball of light and float away.

CoinDesk Podcast Network - BREAKDOWN: Super Tuesday Special: What Us Election Outcome Is Best for Bitcoin?

Today is Super Tuesday - the biggest day of the US primary election season. Increasingly, prediction markets and pollsters suggest it’s a two person race between Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders (although Mike Bloomberg has insisted he’s staying in). 

In this episode, NLW breaks down each candidate in the context of their positions vis a vis cryptocurrency, as well as looking at the possible role of three other fallen contenders in the rest of the campaign. 

As Bernie leads the Twitter poll, the question arises: do people think Bernie will be good for bitcoin because he shares the same values of prioritizing the little guy over big banks, or because they think his programs will demand so much QE it will send bitcoin to the moon? 

Listen and find out.

SCOTUScast - U.S. v. Sineneng-Smith – Post-Argument SCOTUScast

On February 25, the Supreme Court heard oral arguments in the case of United States v. Sineneng-Smith. At issue is "whether the federal criminal prohibition against encouraging or inducing illegal immigration for commercial advantage or private financial gain, in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1324(a)(1)(A)(iv) and (B)(i), is facially unconstitutional."
To discuss the cases, we have Brian M. Fish, Special Assistant, United States Attorney, Baltimore, Maryland.
As always, the Federalist Society takes no particular legal or public policy positions. All opinions expressed are those of the speakers.
