CTP (S3E112) Words on Your Plate: Why Food Names Matter
Exploring more of the fascinating intersection of Activism, Community Engagement, Faith / Religion, Human Nature, Politics, Social Issues, and beyond
Mark Morton joins us to explore the fascinating origins of food words in his book "Cupboard Love: A Dictionary of Culinary Curiosities." We delve into the rich etymological history of everyday culinary terms and discover how language reveals our cultural past.
• English food vocabulary developed through cultural interactions with Germanic, Norse, French, Latin, Greek, and indigenous languages
• Many food names have surprising origins – "avocado" means "testicle" in its original language
• Italian pasta names often have descriptive meanings – "vermicelli" (little worms), "spaghetti" (little strings)
• Food expressions like "eating crow" and "humble pie" originated from class distinctions in food consumption
• Regional naming differences across North America include "Bismarcks" (jelly donuts) and various terms for sandwiches
• Historical inversions in food status – lobster was once poor people's food while organ meats were prized by nobility
• Early alcoholic beverages like "small beer" were safer to consume than untreated water
• Food words reflect cultural exchange, social hierarchies, and changing values throughout history
Cupboard Love is available at all major book retailers, including Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and through local bookstores. Visit Mark Morton's website at markmorton.ca to learn more about his work.

CTP (S3E110) AI's Existential Threat and Who Pays When AI Steals Our Ideas?
Exploring more of the fascinating intersection of Activism, Community Engagement, Faith / Religion, Human Nature, Politics, Social Issues, and beyond
The AI revolution has arrived with predictions of 50% of white-collar jobs disappearing by decade's end, raising critical questions about copyright law, economic stability, and societal transformation.
• Congress is ignoring critical updates needed for copyright laws in the age of AI
• AI acts as an advanced search engine that aggregates information without attribution
• Users may be liable for plagiarism when using AI-generated content without proper citation
• The "black box" nature of AI systems makes proving copyright infringement extremely difficult
• Without jobs and income, consumers disappear, leading to economic collapse
• AI's deflationary effect could make goods cheaper but requires careful economic transition
• Our society is becoming "post-literate" with declining attention spans and less engagement with complex ideas
• Self-reflection is needed to guard against intellectual laziness and devaluation of human creativity

CTP (S3E109) The Hidden Agenda of Ranked Choice Voting
We examine the deceptively marketed Ranked Choice Voting initiative brewing in Michigan and why it's designed to manipulate electoral outcomes rather than empower voters.
• RCV sounds reasonable in theory but implementation is deliberately misleading
• Alaska's experience shows how RCV protected establishment candidates like Lisa Murkowski
• The 100-word ballot proposal summary dedicates only 5 words to actually mentioning RCV
• Left-leaning organizations push RCV because their analysis shows it advantages their candidates
• Third-party voters on the left reliably rank mainstream Democrats as second choice, creating asymmetrical advantage
• Ballot initiatives frequently hide their true intent behind populist-sounding electoral reforms
• When in doubt about complex ballot proposals, the safest approach is usually to vote "no"
This Michigan initiative could soon spread to other states - understand how it works before it arrives in your state.
