For many, philosophy has devolved into an exercise where errors in reasoning, logic, and definitions are layered upon one another, resulting in the field becoming a subject of mockery among the general populace. Imagine if foundational sciences like physics, chemistry, or mathematics had clung to their initial mistakes; we might never have seen the advent of computers or advancements in medicine, and basic arithmetic could still be in dispute.

To rejuvenate the importance of philosophy, we need to pinpoint and resolve its historical puzzles and paradoxes, effectively consigning them to obsolescence.
In his work, “Judge: Philosophy and Freedom in the First Person,” Paul McKeever meticulously examines twelve classic philosophical problems, offering solutions with such lucidity that there remains no justification for their continued discussion as credible issues.

“Judge” distinguishes itself as a work of deep insight, crucial not just for academic scholars but for anyone intrigued by the exploration of human nature, our connection to reality, and our interactions with others. In a very novel way, it provides one with an understanding of reality, perception, identity, logical reasoning, ethical principles, and the fundamental aspects of individual freedom.

However, there’s no need to take our word for this assessment. In keeping with the theme of McKeever’s work, you be the judge.

883 – Just write—the power of fiction is no fiction | John C.A. Manley

Canadians were “surprisingly sadistic” during Canada’s recent Covid lockdowns says author John Manley, whose fictional account of that reality reflects some of his own personal experience in that regard.

As a book that just “had to be written,” Much Ado About Corona is a chilling reminder of a very real dystopia that many are attempting to shove down the memory hole of forgotten lessons of history. Indeed, the absence of current fictional stories, TV shows and movies that even acknowledge the recent and current forced lockdowns, forced injections, and other death cult atrocities is telling.

Not surprisingly, YouTube immediately deleted our interview with John, recognizing that, even though ostensibly a discussion about fiction and writing fiction, truth is no stranger to fiction. Truth is an essential element of any good fiction.

In contrast, YouTube prides itself on spreading lies, misinformation, and disinformation while projecting its crimes on to those who are exposing YouTube’s lies, misinformation, and disinformation. YouTube gives new meaning to the phrase ‘truth is stranger than fiction.’

But the power of fiction is no fiction. Especially when truth becomes ‘stranger than fiction,’ it is fiction that can best reveal that truth in a way that is Just Right.

We highly recommend Much Ado About Corona: A Dystopian Love Story for its accurate portrayal of the human condition during the upheaval of the COVID-19 era. This narrative not only weaves an enjoyable tale of romance and adventure but also serves as a much needed reflection of the shared experience during those years.

In the aftermath of any significant historical event, one has the choice between engaging with the clinical, data-driven accounts found in academic papers and history books, the politically skewed accounts in newspapers and government press releases, or exploring the emotional, psychological, and social dimensions through the immersive storytelling of fiction.

Much Ado About Corona offers a literary lens through which to view the complexities, the chaos, and the collective madness of the COVID-19 years, making it an essential read for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of this recent and painful historical moment.

Here we interview author John C. A. Manley and delve into some of the background details which went into the creation of “Much Ado About Corona” and also some of the events during the Corona-era which prompted the writing of the novel.

It should be noted that YouTube removed this video from their platform for its accurate analysis of the Covid years and for condemning the medical tyranny which tarnished that time in our history.

882 – Singing to end the reign (of tyranny)—with more music that’s Just Right

“It’s culture” say many reacting to the flood of musical memes based on Donald Trump’s “Eating-the-dogs-eating-the-cats” refrain.

In this, our fourth venture into the culture of ‘Music that’s Just Right,’ the significance of the memes have forced us to feature several versions, attesting to a musical phenomenon that is unprecedented. With the American election only a few weeks away, their significance is all the more heightened.

It is remarkable how creative and well-performed so many of these memes are. Even more remarkable is that they are being created at all. For Donald Trump, this represents a massive cultural re-alignment, once again demonstrating the principle that “politics is downstream from culture.”

Of course, our musical spotlight today extends beyond the current “Eating-the-dogs-eating-the-cats” phenomenon. Also featured are several musical voices for freedom from other eras in the history of Western culture. These yet again demonstrate another principle – that history repeats, and that the struggle for freedom is eternal and demands eternal vigilance.

Sometimes that vigilance takes the form of music that’s Just Right.

As 2023 draws to a close and an anticipated turbulent 2024 comes with an expectation of escalated assaults on individual freedom, one positive trend has been a growing cultural resistance to the tyranny and its many manifestations. If it’s true that politics is ‘downstream from culture,’ then it is beginning to appear that the Left’s dominance of the cultural mosaic is finally encountering some meaningful competition from the Right.

Fundamental to classifying any artistic expression as being Just Right is the understanding that all such expression values individual freedom and/or condemns tyranny.

Increasingly, more and more musical artists are finding themselves on the Right by singing out on behalf of freedom. As both a form of protest and critical analysis, the combination of the Right words with the Right music can prove to powerfully and emotionally reflect the changing zeitgeist of the day in a way otherwise not possible.

Our first two unique and distinctive musical collections defying the propaganda of the day can be found archived on our site with the broadcasts of Just Right-738-December 23, 2021 and Just Right-817-June 29, 2023. It is in the spirit of this growing awakening that we now dedicate a third broadcast devoted to yet another unique and distinctive collection of music that’s Just Right.

817 – Still singing in the reign (of tyranny) – just music that’s Just Right

As this year’s Canada Day (July 1) and Independence Day (July 4) approach, it is a tragedy that the freedoms once associated with these celebrations of nationhood no longer exist.

Canadians and Americans alike have found themselves living in a reign of tyranny – justified by fighting Covid and climate change, transgender ideology, racism, identity politics and a whole host of make-believe crisis’ created to hide the real crisis of tyranny itself.

One traditional way to protest tyranny has been to celebrate freedom through music and entertainment. We first featured our own sampling of voices “singing in the reign (of tyranny)” at the end of 2021; it is now mid 2023 and that tyranny still continues to reign.

Therefore in continuing the spirit of both protest and celebration, we are pleased to shower you with our second broadcast entirely dedicated to musical selections where the artists not only have something to “play” but something to “say” about the zeitgeist in which we live.

What better way to celebrate each country’s national heritage – of freedom – than with more music that’s Just Right.

799 – Brave new normal | John C. A. Manley

“We have art that we do not die of reality” – Friedrich Nietzsche

Facing one’s fears in a dystopian world requires a kind of courage and bravery that most Canadians have rarely been forced to call upon. In his fiction novel, “Much Ado About Corona – a dystopian love story” our guest John C.A. Manley tells a tale about the emergence of such courage in the midst of an emerging Canadian police state.

Significantly, John’s novel is evidence of the powerful role that art and literature can have in reflecting the “Covid” reality of the world in which we live. Though its plot and characters are fictional, the novel reflects a deep truth about the reality in which Canadians today find themselves, in part thanks to incorporating the narratives and insights of shows like Just Right, which is included among the dozens of references cited in the book.

In helping him expose the “Covidian Lie,” John’s son Jonah has composed and performed a musical commentary of the same name, thereby adding an additional weapon to their arsenal of artistic persuasion.

Cultures are built and identified around the stories, songs, and philosophies that define them, and most such stories tend to blend fact with fiction. The experiences of the fictional characters are representations of real life experiences, while the factual and historical backdrop of the story provides the reality and truth that make the story itself real and true.

When it is said that “life imitates art,” this is a reflection of the powerful role that art plays in shaping our reality. And of course, art similarly imitates life. In times of tyranny, fictional narratives can reveal truths and facts in a way that often escapes the notice of the tyrannical.

“Once you accept (the truth) then you’re able to do something about it,” observes John. “Until you’ve accepted it, you can’t.”

The truth is what breaks through the lies which is why all tyrannies fear truth most of all. The power of fiction lies in the fact that, through fictional narratives, truth can be discovered in a way that is Just Right for those still struggling to see it.
