A Tree Is Worth More Dead | The Bayat Beat [020]

A tree is worth more dead, a whale is worth more dead, but is the United States worth more dead? Pulling back the veil of lies, looking through the fog of deception is like fishing from a polluted river. The river does not care what you catch, but you and the family you are feeding care. How do we pull back that veil when our own creations tempts us with the fog of deceit? Can we really say no, when all we have heard is, yes? If a tree is worth more dead, then why keep it alive? Has a holy war been raging for millennia? Will artificial intelligence eventually conquer the souls of humans? Why is the United States so adamant on spreading capitalism through imperialistic means? And how many more lives must be spent before justice is served?

Divide and Conquer | The Bayat Beat [019]

The final chess pieces are being set and the race to conquer has almost come to an end. A new oligarchy is being put in place and many fear whether we have the ruthless desire to stop such an advance. The pawns are crumbling and the knights have been in battle far too long. What will happen to the great country which claims freedom and liberty for all people? Will it be overcome by fascism like its counter-parts to the east and south? What happens when there is no one left to speak for us and is murder ever really justified? But most importantly will honor ever be restored to the great United States we all know and love?

Viva La Revolution | The Bayat Beat [018]

Political leaders around the world have seem to forgotten the past and those who forget the past are bound to repeat it. But those of us who have not forgot the past have taken to the streets, to social media and the very essence of life itself. Revolution has sparked in the United States and around the world, we the people have not forgotten the March On Washington, we have not forgotten World War II, we have not forgotten the countless genocide and slavery, we have not forgotten the freedom our ancestors fought blood sweat and tears for. And now that freedom is threatened. We the people are calling for revolution against fascist dictatorship, but how much of this is genuine? Where was this call for revolution four months ago with Bernie Sanders? Is this all the result of a failing economy and people being locked away in there homes, the resistance of a caged lion? Is this finally the fall of an empire or the start of a new one?

Genetically Modified Human | The Bayat Beat [017]

We are possibly entering a new era of plagues. Will humanity at its current state survive these pathogens or will our future children have to be genetically modified? With the rise of genetic modification in our foods, animals and even humans this may mean a radical change in our society, but is this ethical? Are we taking from the Tree of Knowledge once again? Should autism and down-syndrome be eradicated for the sake of human perfection? And will nations go to war for the right to breed super-soldiers? It is truly a brave new world, the foundations of our society will be challenged, the rights of humanity will be toggled, and the new age will be met with a clash of ideologies, ethics and morality.

WWIII: War On Information | The Bayat Beat [016]

A cold war is brewing between China and the United States. The symbiotic ties with these two nations seem to be breaking. But what is this cold war really about? Some believe World War III will not be fought with nukes, but information. And with everyone locked behind doors and stuck online, it looks like that skepticism is coming to fruition. How will all this play out for business owners? Are we entering a new era of viruses and plagues? All that and more on The Bayat Beat.

Restless | The Bayat Beat [015]

The whole world is restless. A war of freedom is being raged across the United States. What was seemingly crazy and inconceivable to most is now the new normal. The world has gone backwards. All of the sudden the crazy old man saying "the end is nigh!" isn't so crazy anymore. But is this a spiritual hunger everyone is searching for? Why do we hate authority so much? How does one bask in the silence of such a distracted world? Can The Bayat Beat break the veil or will the world be left behind in its shadowy curtain?

Humility Over Pride | The Bayat Beat [013]

In infamous episode 13 we discuss on Christmas Eve the subject of humility and pride. What does humility and pride have to do with the Greek mythos, Jesus, the Buddha, the hero's journey, the Iliad and of course the season of giving. Are we being selfless enough this holiday season? When is pride your best resource?

Cultivating Compassionate Capitalism (ft. Sammy King) | The Bayat Beat [012]

In this podcast we are joined by our good family friend, Sammy King. It was a great discussion on a topic all three of us are well versed on. We bounced around ideas along with the philosophy behind why things are the way they are. From oppression of minorities to the big businesses of the 1%, can capitalism be compassionate?

The Era of Globalization | The Bayat Beat [011]

In this episode we touch on a topic that has been ruling headlines for a while now, globalization. We speculate on its many issues, such as its impact on food, climate, economy, population and culture, as well as tackling the pros and cons.
