Sam had the opportunity to speak with two members of Warrior Sisters, a nonprofit for empowerment-based, women-centered self-defense education. They discussed martial arts vs. self-defense, removing hierarchy from martial techniques, stereotypes of what self-defense is vs. evidence-based reality, creating an inclusive space, and how self-defense isn't always physical but about space, power dynamics, and horizontal violence. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in self-defense (especially those interested in starting their own nonprofit program), martial arts, or those looking for practical concepts during these dangerous and trying times.

This week, Sam chats with Christian Perez. Christian is an adjunct professor of political science at Brookdale Community College and often lectures on the dangers of conspiracy theories. He's also the host of the Modernity and Absurdity podcast.

Things Discussed

- The dangers of even seemingly benign conspiracy theories and the harm of pseudoscience & alternative health (as gateways and toxic environments).

- How conspiratorial thinking always comes with contradictory beliefs, such as conspiracists believing Princess Diana was killed by the royal family while simultaneously believing she's still alive.

- How Christians are one of the oldest conspiracists—because why isn't everyone Christian when the son of God came down to Earth and "His Word" now exists in the world? In particular, why haven't the Jewish people converted to Christianity when they've known about Jesus the longest? How come Christians have traveled the world and have been able to convert everyone else except the Jewish people? And what about Muslims, why won't they convert? Thus conspiracies and contradictory thinking.

- How racism and contradictory thinking allows conspiracists to see the atrocities that have happened to minority groups—from being locked in cages, tortured, experimented on, enslaved, and even genocide, then fear it'll happen to them but then simultaneously deny it ever happening to the minority groups.

Ronaldo "Jacare" Souza, Mauricio "Shogun" Rua, and Renan Barao are fighting to survive because fighting is all they know how to do. Whether brain health, mental health, struggling to make weight, or struggling with depression, fighting isn't just something they do, it defines who they are. And that's a problem that doesn't end with the bell. If you want to start fighting, there are unlimited resources out there and people who want to help you get started. But when it's time to get out, that's when everyone disappears and no one wants to help you.
