Does demoralization pave the way for tyranny? And is the process intentional, or simply a natural consequence of modern society?

In Episode 27, Cody and Jacob explore two different meanings of demoralization: the erosion of morals and the loss of morale. One weakens our understanding of right and wrong, while the other produces apathy, hopelessness, and disengagement. Different paths, but potentially the same destination.

We discuss how demoralization can happen naturally through cultural and societal changes, but also how it can be intentionally used to influence and control people.

More importantly, what can we do about it?

We explore the importance of engaging with real, meaningful content rather than relying on AI to do our thinking, pursuing the art of discipline, establishing healthy boundaries, and taking personal responsibility for our lives.

Can a society remain free when its people lose both their moral compass and the will to defend their freedom?

Another thought-provoking conversation on free 2 think.

Colorado voters have a lot to consider this election, and we're making it simple.

In Episode 26, Cody and Jacob tackle every statewide ballot issue in just 30 minutes! (and some local ones too)

From taxes and government spending to individual rights and constitutional amendments, we give you a quick breakdown of what's on the ballot, what each measure would do, and how we're voting.

Grab your ballot, take a listen, and vote!

We're wrapping up more of Colorado's 2026 ballot issues, this time bringing the conversation closer to home.

In Episode 25 of free 2 think, we break down Proposition NN, Proposition 137, and local ballot issues, including Mesa County Valley School District 51's 4A mill levy override.

We discuss what these measures would do, the arguments for and against them, and how they could affect taxpayers, schools, and our communities.

As always, we're digging past the ballot language to understand what we're actually voting on.

The episode covers three distinct funding questions: state education revenue under NN, conservation funding under 137, and a proposed local school property-tax increase under 4A.
