Nothing to Hide

Please consider donating to the many outlets to support the relief of the victims of the Beirut explosion in Lebanon.
2700 tonnes of ammonium nitrate was stored at the port of Beirut and ignited causing a devastating explosion killing hundreds and injuring four thousand plus.
Lebanon's economy is already in dire straits with thousands of Syrian refugees severely impacted and add the losses impacted by the corona virus.
If you are unable to donate financially please consider sharing the various donation outlets on your respective social media platforms.
Thank you.

Inspired by Andrew Huberman on the Joe Rogan Podcast. He's a neuroscientist and studies how the we can perform optimally.

Simply put, it comes down to four things: Clear, calm, focus, and sleep.

Also, by being in a state of urgency we can improve our ability to learn. I argue that prolonged periods in this state could backfire and "overheat" the brain instead. This can be seen in people with PTSD or CTE.

Appreciate everyone that's listening and hope you're all staying safe!

Today I share my thoughts on masks and how the controversy is absolutely selfish. If anything, we should have implemented masks from SARS, H1N1, and even during the Spanish Flu era. There's no question that masks protect you and those you love so why argue otherwise? There's only one explanation, you share a similar entitlement that is often seen with a "Karen". The entitlement that you believe you're more important than the rest of us. That because we wear a mask, you don't have to. Well, hopefully you don't contract covid or any other flu for that matter because like the Karen's of today, I see you being exposed as well. 

I also share an opinion piece from NPR about the origin of the moniker Karen and it's lineage of racist past. The selfish and entitled aspect of Karen's and the anti-mask people is being exposed today. It's how we move forward that will truly reflect our humanity.

** SPOILER ALERTS **
The tv series Brave New World based on the novel written by Aldous Huxley is a very fascinating depiction of a dystopian society. I share on this episode how the many themes on the dystopian fiction story are often seen today. The concept of no privacy is a theme I discuss at length as it relates to the many conglomerate companies that are recording our every move. The theme of monogamy is also fascinating since we are seeing higher divorce rates than ever in the history of time. And finally the opioid crisis we have manufactured for onto ourselves. British Columbia saw a death rate of 175 in the month of July 2020 alone.

MYSPACE! I forgot the name of this one. 

Our brains are still the same brains our ancestors had when we were hunters and gatherers. But technology has raced beyond what our primitive brains are capable of understanding. Hence the correlation between social media and mental health disorders. 

Can you avoid your social media for ONE hour? I dare you.

We have become victims to social media as it hijacks our brains. Social media is a tool and should be used as such. Don't let social media use you!

Love yall!

Hey I started a new instagram for the podcast. So far I haven't posted yet but will start soon.

Today's episode is, as the title says, off the cuff because I really didn't have any topics in mind to cover. 

Appreciate you listening!

The protests have paved way for change and voices are being heard.

I share my thoughts on what defunding the police and increasing funding could potentially look like.

We need more education in schools, police, and all levels of government.

We need justice reform as many police union contracts contain immunity.

It's time to stand in solidarity with our black community to push for oneness and unity.

In this episode, I share my hope, joy, and optimism for the many changes that are transforming our reality. 

Like a slingshot, it feels like we're being pulled back so that we can be projected forward.

The world is shaking and people are awakening to being more conscientious, considerate, and understanding.

Let me begin by saying violence is not the answer! It is never the answer and perpetuating that narrative will continue to set humanity back.

The quote that I butchered was supposed to be, "Guilt and anger and fear are part of the problem. If you want to save the world, save it because you love it!" —Gary Snyder.

Our house is on fire. The world is coming together to put it out and the only way to do that is by change. Until the individuals involved with the murder of George Floyd are brought to justice.

Buddha, "hatred will not cease by hatred, but only by love; this is the eternal rule".
