  • Haunted! Are WE Being Followed? Part 2

    In this episode we decided to follow up our 1st Ghost and Paranormal episode "October Spooky Series! Ghost and Paranormal Activity!" https://www.podbean.com/ew/pb-cxi35-10f5fce with a more in-depth follow up. We knew that our 1st ghost experiences all came from the same area, so we wanted to figure out if it happened to others from that house. We figured the best place to start was with our fathers. As it turns out, we have very similar stories spanning many years and miles.

    This episode is part 2 of 4, taking a look at what sprit or entity is following our family. Before the recoding of this episode, we had not talked to our fathers about our experiences with this specific ghost, and they had not listened to the previous podcast. All we knew was each of us, at one point had come across the same EVIL entity, and we are all positive it wasn't the only or last time we will see it. During the course of this episode we learned more about our family history and where these haunting come from! Is it possible our family is cursed? Is it Voodo? Is it a Native American Curse? What and Why is something following us?

    Sleep Paralysis is a common thing among many people, but the fact that it only happened once to us both is weird to us!

  • Jane Elliot‘s Brown Eyes, Blue Eyes Experiment!

    This week we take a look at Jane Elliot's Brown Eyes, Blue Eyes Experiment! We watched the PBS documentary before the podcast and used the time during the podcast to reflect on what we saw and how it has affect the world. We also take a quick look at race and race based issues and ask if a experiment like this is even more needed compared to the 70's.

     

     

    Guide for Episode 8- A Class Divided Blue Eyes/brown eyes

     

    Intro- Welcome back to Hypothetically Sound, Thank you for listening, today we are gonna take a look at a social experiment. This social experiment is called The eye of the storm or a class divided or its most popular name, brown eye/blue eye experiment. This is a very popular social experiment that many teachers still use today, I myself helped teach or have taught Jane Eliots experiment in some high school classrooms and in a few college classrooms. SO guys, I had us all watch the PBS documentary, before we get into the planned questions I have for you, what were your impressions of the documentary?

     

    Link to PBS- https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/frontline/article/introduction-2/

    Colin Kaepernick- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colin_Kaepernick



    -First impressions

    What did you think?

    Was it well done?

    -Do you think this experiment actually changed these kids( they were easily using the N word)

    Do you think it had a lasting impact?

    Do you think the parents understood?

    How do you think todays parents would have taken it?

    -So the kids changed so easily when told they were dumb or smart, do you think the same thing would happen today? Do you think this type of mindset is what allowed slavery to go on so long? I.E telling slaves they were dumb made them dumb and not rise up

    Is this how oppression started

    Your takes on slavery and modern day slavery

    -So Jane Elliot does this experiment to adults as well, and White adults seem to get angrier faster than the white children, why do you think that is?

    White Privilege

    Adults are too comfortable in their norms and strike back when challenged?

    Oprah clip- https://youtu.be/ebPoSMULI5U

    FaceBook Clip- https://fb.watch/8dTESt68kR/

     

    -After watching it, do you believe that the experiment is unethical and does more harm than good, or is the experiment done well and necessary 

     

    Jane Elliot Quote-  We don't need a melting pot, we need a salad bowl. You put in the different things you want it all, the veggies, the onions, cucumbers, peppers  to maintain the identity, you appreciate the differences, a melting pot doesn't appreciate the differences. WE want a country of differences

  • Are We Living in a Simulation? | Theory Series Finale

    In the epic conclusion of Season 1’s Theory Series, Xavier takes us deep into one of the most mind-bending ideas of our time: the Simulation Theory. Could the universe as we know it be nothing more than an elaborate digital construct? 🤔

    Join Xavier, Alek, Kevin, and Randy as they explore the origins of the theory, its connections to cutting-edge science, and the tantalizing implications for our reality. From video games blurring the line between virtual and real, to scientists uncovering "computer code" within the quantum fabric of the universe, this episode dives into the details that make Simulation Theory both fascinating and chilling.

    Discussion Highlights:

    🕹️ How advances in technology, like hyper-realistic video games, mirror the possibility of a simulated world.

    💻 The groundbreaking discovery of error-correcting codes in the equations that describe our universe.
    🌌 Elon Musk’s provocative take: “We’re most likely in a simulation.”
    ❓ Thought-provoking questions about free will, truth, and whether it even matters if we’re living in a simulation.

    Don’t Miss:
    • A deep dive into Presentism, Eternalism, and the Growing Block Theory.
    • A hypothetical debate: If we are living in a simulation, how does it shape our view of life and existence?
    • Tune in now to hear the crew’s unique perspectives on one of science and philosophy’s greatest mysteries. Got your own thoughts on Simulation Theory? Share them with us on Facebook, and let us know which theories you’d like us to tackle next!

    • The Smiley Face Killers: Unpacking a Midwest True Crime Mystery

      🎙️ In Episode 3 of our Theory Series, we delve into one of the most chilling and debated theories in true crime: the Smiley Face Killers. Are these deaths the work of an organized group of killers, or are they tragic coincidences?

      Join Alek, Kevin, Randy, and Xavier as they unpack the mystery surrounding the alleged Smiley Face Murder Theory. This theory, proposed by retired detectives and a criminal justice professor, suggests that a network of killers is responsible for the deaths of athletic, college-aged men found in bodies of water across the Midwest. Key evidence includes graffiti smiley faces near suspected crime scenes, disturbing patterns in victim profiles, and inconsistencies in official investigations.

      In this episode, we explore:

      🔍 The origins and evolution of the Smiley Face Murder Theory.
      📍 Cases from La Crosse, WI, where multiple young men have mysteriously drowned.
      🧩 Five chilling elements that make this theory plausible: symbols, drugs, victim profiles, and more.
      🤔 A hypothetical debate: If one of us disappeared, would you trust the authorities or take justice into your own hands?

      Don’t miss this thought-provoking dive into a dark and mysterious topic. True crime fans, this one’s for you!

    • Time — A Journey Through Theories and What-Ifs

      In the second episode of our Theory Series, Alek takes the lead as we explore the fascinating nature of time itself. Dive into three thought-provoking time theories and their implications on reality, free will, and how we perceive existence. If you’ve ever wondered about the mysteries of time or dreamed of time travel, this episode is for you!

      What We Cover:

      1️⃣ Presentism: Only the present moment is real. What does it mean for how we experience life?

      2️⃣ Eternalism: Past, present, and future coexist like layers of a cake. Are we just observers of a deterministic timeline?
      3️⃣ Growing Block Theory: The past and present are real, but the future is unwritten—a dynamic and hopeful perspective.

      Alek shares why the Growing Block Theory resonates most, offering a balance between free will and the weight of past experiences. Could living in the "now" improve how we approach life?

      Thought Experiment:

      If you could time travel, would you? What would you change, and how would it impact the present?

      Join us as we dissect these theories and imagine the possibilities of time travel. From philosophical musings to practical implications, this episode will challenge how you think about time.
