Ever come across those automatic invasions of privacy? You know, the ones where you are pretty much forced to allow your privacy to be trampled upon in order to obtain something that you need–like employment, to sell something, or even food to eat. On this episode of The Axiom Amnesia Theory, Heit & Cheri give [...]

On this week’s episodes of The Axiom Amnesia Theory, we’ve talked extensively about not allowing yourself to be an unhelpful bystander to injustices affecting your fellow humans. On this episode, Heit & Cheri focus on the more philosophical aspects of giving, receiving, and doing nothing. Is it really better to give than to receive? Is [...]

Americans love a feel-good story. That is why Billy Ray Harris, who happens to be homeless, was recently thrust to national celebrity status. As the story goes, a woman–Sarah Darling–decided to be a not-so-selfish person and put money into Billy Ray’s cup as he asked for change on the streets of Kansas City, Mo. Not [...]

Are you versed in the “art of philosophical piracy”? What we morally should and shouldn’t do or legally can and cannot do is based on our philosophical disposition. The accusation of piracy–or robbing parties of that which does not belong to you–must be weighed against a discussion about what things are actually subject to the [...]

In this age of ‘cut & paste’ journalism, shock headlines, and single-digit-second soundbites, you’ve probably heard about Kanye West’s recent breakdown in London this past weekend. Many people have written about the Chicago rapper’s ‘rant’ and collage of ‘disses’ he spewed from stage. But the mere fact that what happened is categorized as such further [...]

The world is a ghetto, but the hood is where the “authorities” spend most of their time plotting to systematically criminalize its inhabitants. Wanna know what life is like in the hood?

Have you received your “n!gga wakeup call”? The wakeup call occurs when you’ve been under the incorrect impression that we are in a post-racial world, only to have blatant racism slap you in the face. These wakeup calls also occur on the basis of other outward attributes (like gender, age, and nationality). Time and time [...]

Have you ever thought about how many of the proposed solutions to societal ills are basically ploys that give false hope to the human race? Almost everywhere you look, we have people and groups posing as virtuous proponents of the advancement of humankind, yet their practices say just the opposite. On this episode of The [...]

So many of the policies, procedures, and common practices in our society could be labeled as “for entertainment purposes only.” We buy into these ideals partly because of the programming and partly because of our own failure to think critically about our own actions. In the end, our own desires to project a particular image [...]

By now, you’re probably aware that Shawty Lo’s planned reality show featuring him, his 10 babies’ mamas and 11 children was canceled by the Oxygen network amid protests and petitions of the show. Basically, folks never had a chance to see what the show was actually about, yet felt comfortable making the determination that Shawty [...]

When it comes to commentary on how other people live, there’s more than enough hypocrisy to go around. Whether we’re talking about symbolic or literal fathers, it’s important to take a closer look at what we view as both “fit” and “unfit”. On this episode of The Axiom Amnesia Theory, Heit & Cheri examine controversy [...]

MLK said, “I knew that I could never again raise my voice against the violence of the oppressed in the ghettos without having first spoken clearly to the greatest purveyor of violence in the world today — my own government. For the sake of those boys, for the sake of this government, for the sake [...]

If you pay attention to our society, you’ll realize that we’re all forced to constantly judge our windows of freedom. We say we’re free, and we might even think we’re free, but the truth is that we have all become adept at operating within our window of possibilities–according to the dictation of authority. In this [...]

As a child, I read a lot of books, and among them were fables and fairy tales, like “Aesop’s Fables.” The main purpose of these fables (short instructional stories), was to convey a life lesson, usually illustrated through the use of personification. During childhood, I enjoyed these stories that seemed to be creative ways of [...]

Mental health on the democratic plantation is that of a sick person who doesn’t want to take the medicine and regimen to obtain the cure for their deficit of logic. As a result, we see continuous assaults on logical thinking as a weapon. On this episode of The Axiom Amnesia Theory, Heit & Cheri discuss [...]

It’s time that we understand the repercussions of what happens when manipulators just market emotions to us. How many times have we heard, “It’s just a [insert controversial subject here]” as a means of downplaying the impact of an action? Manipulation of the emotions is a marketing tactic, and in the end the manipulators are [...]

Advances in science have brought us to a point in history where technology rules, and you better not question it. More times than not, we see people relying on technology to make the differentiation between what’s real and what’s not, or what happened or didn’t. The problem comes in determining what to do when technology [...]

How many sides are there to a story, and is there such a thing as a universal truth? Our perception IS our reality, and that can differ from person to person. With this being the case, how do we determine what’s the truth? On this episode of The Axiom Amnesia Theory, Heit & Cheri embark [...]

Don’t yank our “Django Unchained”! In other words, please don’t try to feed us B.S. about the movie “Django Unchained,” slavery, or the Black culture and experience as told through the eyes of the presumptuous director Quentin Tarantino. On this episode of The Axiom Amnesia Theory, Heit & Cheri dedicate the entire show to dissecting [...]

One thing you’ll learn during your indoctrination into capitalist education is that a pedigree is the preferred method of proving yourself as a career asset. It’s also important to note that your legality is assessed as a function of your socioeconomic level–meaning that if you are a member of certain groups, you’ll be systematically criminalized [...]

Presidential digression occurs in both historical and current events. We expect to see progress and improvement, but often find stagnation and even digression at times. On this New Year’s Day episode of The Axiom Amnesia Theory, Heit & Cheri discuss current events related to presidents and political figures, then take a historical look at all [...]

After today, 2012 will be completely in the rear view. Maybe it’s time that we all reflect back on the year as we prepare to move into 2013. Each year, Mad Skillz performs a rap that wraps up the year in review. On this New Year’s Eve episode of The Axiom Amnesia Theory, Heit & [...]

How can American society ever right the wrongs of enslaving Africans and backing an economic system that allows for wage slavery? We have seen many cases where the government has compensated groups–Native Americans for instance–for what was stolen from them. Why aren’t the stolen services of people’s forced servitude viewed with the same worthiness for [...]

What is “the principle gift”? What is the gift of principles? What are the principles of gift-giving and gift receiving? These are just a few of the questions Heit & Cheri tackle in this episode of The Axiom Amnesia Theory, as they challenge you to take a closer look at your core principles and the [...]

We hear the terms “image” and “likeness” bandied about all the time when it comes to control of images and videos. We’ve even heard of being “created in the image and likeness” of a creator God. At one time or another, most humans wonder from whence we came and speculate on the nature of the [...]

We are all victims of political theater in one way or another, but we have a choice–either accept media manipulation or think for ourselves. It really is that simple. On this episode of the Axiom Amnesia Theory, Heit & Cheri challenge you to see through the political theater and manipulation to the core issues with [...]

You need only take a peek below the surface to see that we’ve been programmed to line up, reduce our intellectual thought to simple memes, and reinforce the lies we’ve been fed though the use of political correctness. On this episode of The Axiom Amnesia Theory, Heit & Cheri have a philosophical conversation on topic [...]

Let’s talk about this notion of waiting to fake like you give a damn about the terrible things happening in the world. First, you find yourself waiting, because nobody else seems to care about things that don’t affect them or “their kind” directly. But what are you waiting for? Do you really give a damn [...]

“Gun-Controlling Class” is now in session! Who are the ones who seek to control? How do they accomplish and maintain control? Controlling guns isn’t as much about guns as it is about CONTROLLING classes of people. On this episode of The Axiom Amnesia Theory, Heit & Cheri challenge you to transcend the emotionalism triggered by [...]

I find it hard to understand people who look at a tragic situation and say, “I don’t care what happened because nobody cares when it happens to people who look like me.” Likewise, I am frustrated by people who only seem to care when something tragic happens to people who “look” like them–whether in physical [...]
