Honor, Dignity, and Victimhood – A Tale of Three Cultures: Told You So Ep. 15
LISTEN NOW… As human societies have grown and changed, values and moral reasoning have shifted along with the characteristics and beliefs of their people. But in broad strokes, there have been three orientations – honor cultures, dignity cultures, and victimhood cultures. The growth of dignity cultures in the 19th and 20th centuries has left some longing for the vigor and energy of an honor culture, while the slings and arrows of modern society have created enclaves of victimhood cultures around the world. Which way should we be going? Find out with your hosts on this week’s episode of Told You So! LISTEN NOW…
From the Brian Nichol’s Show page:
“ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Want to really “live free”? Well, guess what. Today’s your lucky day.
Today I’m joined by Carla Gericke from the Free State Project, which is a historic mass migration of more than 20,000 people who have pledged to move to New Hampshire for liberty.
Today I wanted to have Carla join the show to talk more about the Free State Project, the work they’ve been doing, and how the prospects of liberty look for New Hampshire. We also dig into Carla’s personal path to liberty, her activism, and her candidacy for NH Senate.”

From fentanyl and vaping related deaths to worries over synthetic cannabinoids, America has prohibition on the brain. But trying the same old policies only harder hasn’t helped – is there a better way to approach our burgeoning drug abuse problem? Join your hosts on an exploration of how fentanyl was introduced to the US market, how Chinese companies have made a mint exporting an alphabet soup of new chemical compounds, and how America can take a new approach to drug policy.

Mentioned in this podcast:
I love the “Memories” feature on Facebook, especially when it reminds me of something positive I totally forgot about, like this podcast from 2012 with Jack Spirko of the Survival Podcast. If you’re not listening to Jack’s show (and mine!), you are missing out!
Even better, was receiving this fan mail afterwards:
“Hello Carla, My Significant Man and I enjoy the Survival Podcast. Your interview with Jack Spirko was full of sustenance and had a palpable resonance. It is refreshing and easier for me- and wonder if not for most women- to embrace a message that is focused on what can be done to effect a change, steps to take, and finding some joy in it. Even during the account of your unjust arrest you were rational, practical, and even charming.
Passionate, articulates a clear message, has a keen mind and an eye on the prize all the while coming across as self-effacing, happy, and funny… please host a podcast! [EDIT: I now do!] There is plenty to rant about and so it is appropriate to have people ranting, but it was refreshing to listen to a joyous, encouraging, and- I must admit- woman’s voice of reason.”
LISTEN NOW… As the climate change debate heats up on the global stage, is there still room for rationality in the discussion? Most of the arguments rely on either radically restructuring global society or totally ignoring the possibility of human-caused climate change – but there are more than two options when it comes to dealing with such a nebulous problem. Join your hosts for an in depth discussion on the evidence for climate change, the madness of the public discourse about it, and what a sane policy approach might look like. LISTEN NOW…
LISTEN NOW… Take the red pill and travel down the rabbit hole with your hosts as they explore conspiratorial thinking, some of the more popular conspiracy theories, and a few examples of “conspiracy theories” that turned out to be absolutely true. And stick around to hear a pretty decent Alex Jones impression! LISTEN NOW…
LISTEN NOW… It’s been 18 years since the 9/11 attack on the World Trade Center, and since then our world has changed in immeasurably massive ways. But when George W. Bush claimed that the attacks happened because “they hate us for our freedom,” he was only telling a tiny part of the story. Join your hosts for some personal stories about the attack, an exploration of the changes it delivered to our politics and culture, and an attempt to understand the morality that can make people do the unthinkable on this week’s episode of Told You So! LISTEN NOW…
LISTEN NOW… Across cultures, people seem to be growing more and more fragile – are we capable of toughening up? Author Nassim Taleb takes a big departure from mainstream wisdom and suggests that we should work to be antifragile – which is much more than simple resilience. Join your hosts to explore the concept of antifragility, and how it can help you be a stronger person. LISTEN NOW…
LISTEN NOW… While most people say they’re committed to free speech, an alarming (and growing) number of Americans seem to be souring on the principle. Do they have good reason to abandon the country’s tradition of toleration and free expression? Find out with your hosts on this week’s episode of Told You So!
