Today I ask you the questions: What are you remembering on November 11? Are we forgetting the importance of our freedoms during COVID times? Are you willing to give up the freedoms brave individuals fought and continue to fight so hard for ... because of a virus? Reflect on your thoughts and join me in this Remembrance Day Episode!

Do you really know the real purpose of welfare? Do you think it’s dangerous to accept money from the government? Maybe you don’t see anything wrong with it because how can it be dangerous if people are in desperate need for it? Today I talk with Sabbah Yasin, a Sociology and Philosophy Major at the University of Toronto, and we discuss both the pros and cons of welfare, as well as sharing the history and background of the purpose of welfare through different lenses. Listen to today’s episode so you can learn and make your own judgment!  Thu, 10 Sep 2020 23:00:00 +0000 https://www.buzzsprout.com/1130096/5388160-welfare-do-the-pros-outweigh-the-cons.mp3?blob_id=21853330 https://www.buzzsprout.com/1130096/4510292-what-is-the-socratic-method-and-is-it-effective.mp3?blob_id=17713964 Hey audio listeners! Welcome BACK to the Oblivious Scholar where you can learn the truth and make your judgment (with no judgment). Today we're going to learn about and discuss the Socratic Method . Do you know who Socrates is? Do you know his methods of getting his opponents on his side? How effective is this method? Well keep listening and you'll learn more about it! We discuss The Republic —a famous Socratic dialogue, authored by Plato around 375 BC — specifically taking a close look at Socrates' method of winning arguments and getting his opponents to agree with him without even realizing it. We also discuss the Three Steps of the Socratic Method, examine what Socratic Wisdom is, and analyze Rule 9 from Jordan Peterson's 12 Rules for Life: Assume that the person you are listening to might know something you don’t.

In today’s episode, we learn and understand psychological warfare — relating it to history, as well as current situations that are occurring today. We define it in simple terms to make sure we are all on the same page, and then we go into some deeper discussions about it. We discuss former KGB agent, Yuri Bezmenov’s four stages of psychological warfare, and relate it to our modern day society. I want you to leave this episode asking yourself, is psychological warfare an issue we are facing today? And reflect on any events or situations that may persuade you into believing that this is a real issue we are currently facing.   Learn the truth and make your judgement!   Give me some feedback!   Twitter: https://twitter.com/obliviouscholar   Sources :   Definitions :    https://www.britannica.com/topic/psychological-warfare   https://www.thoughtco.com/psychological-warfare-definition-4...

This is the very first episode to be launched, and I am very excited to share it with everyone.  Today, my good friend Sabbah and I will be discussing how to find hope in "hopeless" situations. With the way the world is going, I think this would be a great time to shed some light on all the negativity going on in the world, and how to overcome both personal and social issues that you may be experiencing.  Sun, 31 May 2020 02:00:00 +0000 https://www.buzzsprout.com/1130096/3981467-how-can-we-find-hope-in-hopeless-situations.mp3?blob_id=17713349 https://www.buzzsprout.com/1130096/3981467-finding-hope-in-hopeless-situations.mp3?blob_id=16104950 Hey audio listeners welcome to The Oblivious Scholar!
