Rejecting the boring collective and building a personal philosophy
The status quo is boring. Critical thinking is not taught or encouraged and political group think has turned our society into a bunch of zombies. The Michael J Glem Show is where I try to break away from this collective poison and question just about everything. Topics include psychology, philosophy, religion, education, politics, the paranormal, quantum physics, and whatever else I find useful or interesting.
Let’s get religious! Well kind of. This morning I started writing about my internal battle between skepticism and religion. I guess religion is still winning at the moment, but there are still so many questions. Unfortunately, for those of us who try to be intellectually honest, there will never be an end to the questions. […]
We have more in common with our family, friends, and neighbors, regardless of their politics, than we do with any of the elitists in Washington. So stop fighting with each other. It is stupid, and it’s what those who are in power want us to do. Also, I have a rather unique take on the […]
There is a slight variation in the format of the show today, as joining me is my first ever guest, Steve. He has been a teacher for quite a while now, and a good friend for much longer than that. We had a great discussion about his profession and personal teaching style. And, of course, […]
Good news everyone! The format of the Michael J Glem show is undergoing several changes in 2021. Today I talk about these changes and wrap up the year with a rather impromptu discussion of dark matter and Newtonian Physics. Hopefully, everyone out there has a healthy and happy new year, and I cannot wait to […]
My reaction to this current political climate has led me to a deep dive into quantum physics, mathematics, and the multiverse. If this year has shown us anything, it is that deeper meaning should really be sought outside of politics. The political is just a surface level obfuscation of fundamental truths. There is very little […]
I finished reading The Exorcist recently, it is definitely one of the best books I have read in a while. There are a lot more philosophical and religious concepts than I could have hoped for in the book. Also, demons. The main plot is of course the possession of 12-year-old Regan via an Ouija board. […]
I watched The Haunting of Bly Manor recently. I share my thoughts on that. Also I talk about the real monster that murdered his two little daughters and his wife. Fortunately, he was dumb enough to talk to the cops and will be rotting in prison forever. It’s important to point out that he was […]
I talk a little about how I crossed the fence on not voting. This doesn’t stop me however from ranting about politics. Unlike most rants, this one contains the Bolsheviks, the Rolling Stones, and a parting shot blaming Abraham Lincoln for Roe v. Wade. Check out my other stuff, including my youtube music.
Today I talk about my personal struggle with collegiate extortion (college loans), which I have affectionately termed the bottomless pit of misery. Of course, this is relatable to the current book I am reading, The Creature from Jekyll Island, about the federal reserve. I also talk briefly about a positive financial move that I have […]
I saw a ghost! Or at least I thought I did. Today I discuss this and other ghostly encounters as I get into some spookier stuff this month. I touch on how my skepticism doesn’t seem to contradict my religious beliefs and on the realistic implications of the land of make-believe and other fabrications like […]
