  • The philosophical Angle with Chris Angle S5E37 03.30.2026
    Mar 30 2026

    Do you have a question or comment? Want to suggest a topic for our panel or be a guest on the Nova Society? Send us a message!

    Today, we welcome Chris Angle to the Podcast. Chris is a University of Michigan,
    graduate who studied in Japan Missionary - Japanese Language & Culture

    When matriculating at the University of Michigan, Chris discovered a desire to write creatively. In his senior year, he discovered that he could meld the disciplines of human biological behavior with philosophy, and, as such, he produced a research paper proposing a relationship among the concept of beauty, behavioral evolution, and mankind’s will to survive.

    While studying abroad, Chris discovered that he could readily define philosophical concepts upon graduation. In Japan, he produced the initial draft of his first book, The Nature of Aesthetics. Upon returning to the U.S., he finished the
    manuscript and subsequently produced 4 more works, which he self-published and are available in paperback, Kindle & audio formats, wherever books are sold.

    Chris’ books are known as the Detmar-Haskell Dialogues.

    The Nature of Aesthetics (Also available as an audiobook)
    The Nature of Ethics
    The Nature of Truth
    The Philosophical Equations of Economics
    The Nature of the Political Left & Right (Also available as an audiobook)

    Chris will be discussing The Nature of the Political Left & Right. Highlighting his theory of the differences between conservatives and progressive liberals on the left, the origin and essence of politics, why this divide between the two political philosophies exists, and why it is growing.

  • TSA, ICE in Airports, and Trump's Muller comments S5E36 03.27.2026
    Mar 27 2026

    Do you have a question or comment? Want to suggest a topic for our panel or be a guest on the Nova Society? Send us a message!

    Today our question is from Troy from Pine Valley, California, who writes, ICE in airports? As if they weren’t bad enough out in the open! This just sounds like a disaster looking for a place to happen. I never thought I’d be defending the TSA, as they can be some real asshats, but here we are. So, I know DHS is still operating on limited funding as Republicans and Democrats argue over funding, and ICE in particular. So, I guess ICE is partially funded, and TSA isn’t funded at all? Why hasn’t someone suggested moving some of that money to TSA? I think the real argument about DHS funding has gotten lost in all the distractions. What are the Democrats actually asking for? Are the Republicans really that opposed to their requests, or is this a Trump thing? Finally, if you have time, I’d like to hear your thoughts on Trump's tweet following Robert Mueller's death. I know if anyone had tweeted that after the death of Charlie Kirk, the right would have lost their minds.
