What does it mean to be young, gifted, and Black? Is it merely measured in academics, or does it include things outside the scope of how the mainstream generally views the path of a “successful” individual? On this episode of The Axiom Amnesia Theory, Heit & Cheri honor the memory of Malcolm X by examining [...]

Apparently today is Scandal Thursday. No, we don’t mean the TV show that so many folks can’t tear themselves away from. We’re talking about the very real state of social and political scandals. On this episode of The Axiom Amnesia Theory, Heit & Cheri discuss scandals from the White House to the hood–from the president [...]

What does it mean to be a “gangsta” (noun), and is it possible to be gangsta (adjective) without a gun?

Do whatever you can to avoid the “death ray” at all costs! Of course, there are actual physical death rays, as well as figurative death rays. As the name implies, overexposure–and sometimes any exposure–to the death ray will do you in. On this episode of The Axiom Amnesia Theory, Heit & Cheri tell you about [...]

If you want to feel better about all of the terrible things that have been done by the government, simply “whitewash” your hands the way that history and current events are whitewashed to remove the blood of the innocent. When you re-tell the stories, be sure to only mention the benefits for certain groups, while [...]

We see your true colors shining through the B.S. smokescreen you tried to use to conceal your foolishness. Eventually, given time, most forms of ridiculousness perpetrated by individuals, the government, and private corporations alike will be exposed. On this episode of The Axiom Amnesia Theory, Heit & Cheri discuss examples of current events that give [...]

Is it even possible for rhetoric to bind infinity? And, what happens when you let go of the axioms and begin to think, rather than regurgitating things you got from someone else. On this episode of The Axiom Amnesia Theory, Heit & Cheri welcome philosopher and independent thinker, Daniel Coffeen, for a discussion on modern [...]

It’s about time that we all break free from mass hysteria of all forms. It’s never too late to break free! Think about all the times that we find ourselves worked into a frenzy and believing things simply because others around us have done the same. There’s nothing wrong with being part of a collective, [...]

By now, we hope you’ve realized that you need to be checking for fees, fines, and foolishness related to all interactions with the government–especially law enforcement and the criminal punishment system. On this episode of The Axiom Amnesia Theory, Heit & Cheri share personal and current event stories about how the government’s favorite pastime is [...]

We spend a lot of time talking about political nonsense perpetrated by the federal government, but rest assured, there’s no shortage of B.S. with which to contend in state and local politics. In fact, many of the political shenanigans on the state and local levels affect us more than those on the federal level. On [...]

We don’t have to look very far to realize that we are a culture living in fear–fear of losing our job, fear of terrorism, fear of gun violence, fear of the food we eat, and ultimately in fear of each other. Perhaps we ought to live fearlessly, with the understanding that obsessing and worrying about [...]

What do you do when you find something, not only unexpected, but dead in your food–that which you need to sustain life? The first thing you must do is get the dead stuff out, and then figure out what else is tainted because of it. Sometimes you must throw out more than you desire, but [...]

We hear people say that we should use some “common sense” to solve the issues we face, but perhaps the problem is that we are using “sense” that is too common–too infused with ideals of the status quo and lacking logical thought. Consequently, we’re proposing the “Uncommon Sense Project”, which follows the principles of Axiom [...]

So much of life is a popularity contest, with people acting out of the desire to be well-liked, admired, followed, and famous. Often, the most popular among us are the loudmouths who make their voices heard above everyone else’s, regardless of what they are actually saying. This leaves the masses in a category of “nobodies” [...]

Why is it that people have such a hard time coming to the conclusion that “that bird don’t fly”? The majority of the issue is that a lot of folks never stop to assess the situation before accepting the “truth” as it is told to them. On this episode of The Axiom Amnesia Theory, Heit [...]

We are capable of so much more thought than we exercise at any given time. Consequently, we would be better served to depart from what we call the “standard template for thinking”–the default set of instructions and assumptions used when approaching ideas, discussions, and any other time when we need to figure something out. On [...]

What shall we do when our “libraries” are empty–when the place that should house records of our meaningful collective accomplishments is empty? Or worse yet, what shall we do upon discovering that the historical record is a lie, applauding the most despicable among us? Do we clap and cheer the deception, or should we stand [...]

Vice President Joe Biden referred to the Boston bombing suspects as “two twisted, perverted, cowardly knock-off jihadists”. Stop and think about why he called them “knock-offs”… His language was very specific in that the intent was to express that they are not “real” jihidis. What is the difference between these men and real jihidis? After [...]

Are you an “alleged” conspiracy theorist? Whenever a major event happens–especially the tragic ones–inevitably, a new crop of conspiracy theories pop up. Do the phrases “new world order” and “Illuminati” ring a bell? These days, the dumbest and most illogical conspiracy theories are the ones that get top billing, while the valid questions and speculations [...]

It’s time you check yoself before the government (and others who wish to control you) check you first. Why is acceptable to impose almost every form of scrutiny upon the individual–background checks, credit checks, etc.–but when it comes to the “authorities”, they are allowed to go unchecked? The first step to checking yourself is to [...]

Let’s talk about authoritarian media B.S. under martial law. If you were paying attention to the massive manhunt for the Boston Marathon bombing suspects, then you had a front row seat to how the media and the government work hand-in-hand to advance an official narrative–a narrative that consists of them directing you on how to [...]

Getting out of the “loop of ignorance” can be challenging when you rely on the mainstream media and the government as your sole source of information. We’ve explained in previous episodes that you cannot rely on those who profit from you to be your advocates. On this episode of The Axiom Amnesia Theory, Heit & [...]

Imagine how much better the world would be if folks would stop trying to kill people. It seems like everywhere you turn, there’s a threat of violence and death–from those acting on behalf o the government and and even individuals who seek to harm people for whatever reason. On this episode of The Axiom Amnesia [...]

By now, you’ve heard about the Boston Marathon bombing. Although the perpetrators may not be obvious at this point, it is clear that the end result of these attacks will involve increased “security” in the form of civil liberty infringements. In addition, we can also expect this tragic event to be used to justify the [...]

We talk a lot about racism, but you need to understand that racism is a tool of classism–it’s used to oppress members of a particular class on the basis of race. So, when we discuss racism, it is in the context of a particular method of the implementation of classism. On this episode of The [...]

Get ready for your Black Medal Jacket, and it’s nothing like a military full metal jacket. The Black medal jacket is the cloak of accolades and recognition used to placate those who have been done wrong by individuals, and often times, by society–all the while making no substantive changes to the culture that led to [...]

Open letters are all the rage these days. Every time you turn around, someone’s writing an open letter. Interestingly, most of these letters are reflective of predominant cultures (and sub-cultures) within our society at any given time. On this episode of he Axiom Amnesia Theory, Heit & Cheri discuss a couple of real-life open letters, [...]

Ah, “The Limbaugh Syndrome”–people working themselves up into a frenzy about something that someone said, which isn’t usually worth the amount of controversy that ensues. We observe this every day, and perhaps should be asking ourselves what we SHOULD be making a big deal about that gets overlooked while we’re fussing over foolishness. On this [...]

Ever get tired of the stankin’ smokin’ racists? It seems that we have been programmed to label things as “good” or “bad” solely on the basis of social acceptability, giving little thought to the actual events themselves. How many times have we heard something labeled as “racist” or “sexist”, only to find after closer examination [...]

Are you still plugging into the matrix, despite knowing you’ve been sucked in? Maybe you don’t know how to get out, or you find it so enjoyable that you don’t want to leave. The thing that’ll blow your mind is that these days, a physical plug isn’t even needed to stay plugged in–it’s all wireless, [...]
