Beyond the Told - Destroying the Narrative episodes

  • Things to Know About Weather Modification

    Weather modification has become a hot topic in recent weeks (and years), sparking debates and raising many questions. Yet, despite the wealth of information available, much confusion persists - likely due to those appealing to their 'Confirmation Bias' instead of seeking accuracy. Even worse, many fall into the trap of the 'either/or' fallacy, which limits a deeper understanding of the issue. So, is it conspiracy or fact? The truth, as always, is far more nuanced. The answer might very well be "both."

  • When Empathy Becomes Sabotage

    If you have a social media account, there is little doubt that you've seen numerous posts talking about the power of empathy, feelings, looking out for the emotional state of your peers, and so on. On the surface, it sounds nice. However, what if I were to tell you that, for those looking to lead (either their life or organization) it's terrible advice - if outcomes and goal achievement are what you want? What if I told you that it could fast-track your decline?

  • Freedom is Important - Do You Have It?

    Yes, 'freedom' is important. But what if I told you that you may not have as much of it as you might otherwise think? In today's episode, we explore the concept of American freedom by examining constitutional principles established by Chief Justice John Marshall and the Founding Fathers. It questions how current laws align with constitutional values, highlighting various examples where modern legislation infringes on individual rights.

  • Physicians’ Ironic Disdain for Alternative Medicine

    The rise in popularity of alternative medicine is often met with disdain by many physicians. However, I would argue that the blame for this shift lies squarely at the feet of the medical community. Today, I'll share an article that I wrote outlining why, but also what can be done about it.

  • Measuring the Effectiveness of Our Leaders

    Today, I want to share some audio of a video I did talking about how we can evaluate the effectiveness of American leaders and their adherence to constitutional principles. The video posed critical questions about how citizens can measure leadership success, the vision our leaders pursue, and the degree to which constitutional rights are protected. At the same time, it challenges us to reconsider our perceptions of government performance and emphasizes the importance of understanding and upholding the Constitution.

  • The Puppet Masters of Collusion of Power

    Today, by request, I'll share the article "The Puppet Masters of Collusion of Power." This one presents several important questions about the world we live in but also challenges us to look at the bigger picture about those involved (or complicit) in our economic woes - including (for some of us) ourselves.

  • Beware Who You Follow - Pseudo Thought Leadership

    In today's episode, I share audio from one of my videos. This one explores the concept of 'pseudo-thought leadership' and warns of the prevalence of recycled ideas and the lack of true originality on the web. It also discusses the psychological and social barriers to accepting novel ideas and the resistance genuine thought leaders often face.

    Why It Matters: Understanding the difference between real and pseudo-thought leadership is crucial - if you really value critical free-thinking. After all, it's hard to think for yourself when the content you examine is recycled or emotionally driven.
    ⚠️ Warning: This one encourages the exploration of intellectually challenging or uncomfortable ideas, as they typically lead to innovation and thought leadership. However, this should not be taken as an endorsement of blindly adopting all unpopular ideas, especially those that are rightfully dismissed or rejected. The focus here is on discerning the potential value of ideas that challenge the status quo, not blindly accepting every unpopular notion. Critical thinking and the merit of thought are key. I'm merely asking everyone to think for themselves and base their decisions on the merit of thought.

  • By Popular Request: A Show Transition

    Okay, I think I figured out what the transition will be - or needs to be. So, in this episode, I discuss the next evolution of "Destroying the Narrative" and why the show is shifting to a new format. I'll talk a little about the transition to audio articles and video content, (hopefully) making it easier for listeners to engage with the articles and videos that you may have missed. Tune in to learn what this change will mean and where I hope we'll go from here.

  • The Coming Battle for Core Values

    Well, it's been 20 years, and I think it's finally time to throw in the towel - at least in how I've been doing this show thus far. A transition is necessary, I'm just not entirely sure what that will look like at the moment. Anyway, today's episode is built like the original "An American Warning" episodes, so we can tie a nice little bow on things.

    I truly appreciate those of you who have stuck it out with me over the years. Be sure to sign up for the articles on the website (DMRPublications.com), and feel free to join me on one of the last platforms that I'm still allowed on (Telegram): https://t.me/BeyondTheTold - I may have other projects in the works ;)

  • The Economic Story of Us

    Today, I'm going to go through headlines and hottakes. Instead, I want to tell you a story - the story of us... or U.S.


    Take it for what it's worth.
