In this episode I explore the evolution of technology and how it has disrupted human life and behavior.  You might think this is doom and gloom but I actually argue that there is something intrinsic to all of creation that causes it to continually create variations and new patterns.  This means that all of technology is exactly what the creator prompted at the dawn of creation.  

I move from the Wheel and writing systems up to the Industrial Revolution.  However I also show that even single cellular lifeforms also engaged in the invention of tool to help them survive in dire situations.

Strap in for a long and informative episode with solutions at the end.

Have you ever heard of a Skinner box?  

BF Skinner was a behavioral psychologist who felt humans have no free will and can be controlled through an algorithmic like reward schedule that installs an impulsive behavior.  

He believe we should dispose of the fiction called "free will".  

In this episode I make a nuanced argument against Skinner's oversimplified view of human's will. 

Let's discuss why I believe we do in fact have free will, but only when we are truly conscious.  

But to express this point, I rely on Sir Roger Penrose, Yuval Noah Harari and more. Let's explore the consequential territory of modern civilization adopting a "BF Skinner" approach.  

I hope all of you are navigating these potentially confusing times with grace and gratitude. I really think that's the most obvious solution we have in front of us. Prepare for the unknown and have gratitude as you do it.

In this episode I explore the most incredible technology known to man.  That is the body of man itself.  Specifically the myofascial network of living tissues in the body that communicate fractally across its fiber optic scaffolding, gives form to our anatomy, orients us in time and space, and moves fluids through the body for hydration and cleansing processes.

I look at the work of Brook McPoyle at MusicalBreathwork.com as well as dive deeply into the power of vocal sounds and closed mouth humming to steer cellular function, genetic expression and I believe to also awaken dormant powers in our lineage and racial memory.  

This is one of my favorite episodes because now that I've covered the crypto future of smart cities and digital twins, I have to highlight the real way to awaken humanity.  Not some spiritual philosophy or a sense of "being" per se, but an embodiment of that which supported our ancestors in being soulful humans on planet earth: the use of our voice because we are unique creations of divinity.  To use our voice is a declaration of I AM.

Please watch with a notepad and an open mind for maximum impact.  

If you are unaware of how modern technology and city infrastructure has been designed to completely surveil every citizen and permanently store your digital profile on the blockchain, you'll want to watch this episode.  

It's not just Palantir, which has become the all-seeing-eye that watches over everything.  It's Ripple and Bitcoin, the Gen X's and Millennials as well as all the preceding technology companies that have been funded by 3 letter organizations that are building the surveillance grid around us.  It's dizzying to witness if you can see what's happening with clarity.

But as always, I propose the best solutions are not to become a rebel and fight the system.  It's actually to see that narrow path between fighting and surrendering that is available to you.  It's not about the exact circumstances you find yourself in but how you orient your mind and heart in the face of massive resistance.

As always, the key is you and the time to awaken to this truth is now.  Watch with optimism that you are bigger than any "outside" threat ever could be.

I personally believe the feud between Donald Trump and Elon Musk is a red herring to cover up the greatest wealth transfer and financial restructuring of all time.  On par with the Bretton Woods Agreement after World War II, this monetary revolution is going purely digital. 

With Cryptocurrencies (digital assets) on the rise in every country, in every major institution and on most savvy people's minds, if you're still thinking the most important news is what's happening on X or Truth Social, you're sadly drinking the modern Kool Aid.  

Enjoy this episode where I give you my best advice on how to navigate these deceptive times with grace and multiple perspectives at once.

The Antichrist is a part of Christian lore from the book of Revelation.  In this episode I tease apart the similarities between the Beast of Revelation and AI or Technology as a whole.   I show videos from investment-guru Ral Paoul, Evolutionary Biologist Brett Weinstein, Ezra Klein and more. 

This is one of my favorite topics to cover because I feel there is so much room for personal accountability for the massive transformations that are happening now.  The more personal accountability we assume, the more we awaken to our role in the coming world as we transcend the current "story of humanity".

🔍 Have you ever pondered the profound difference between the power of silence and the art of misdirection? In this thought-provoking episode, we delve into the delicate balance between sociopathy and the mastery of restraint and composure.

📚 Drawing insights from renowned figures like Jordan Peterson and key concepts from the *48 Laws of Power*, we uncover the striking similarities between the honest and dishonest applications of silence, along with its intriguing counterparts: Misdirection and Psychological Engineering.

🤔 Do you ever question whether you might possess sociopathic tendencies? Stay tuned as we explore this topic and provide clarity by the end of the episode. 

✨ Join us as we emphasize the positive aspects of silence and examine its impact, from the individual level to the scale of nation-states. Don’t miss out on this enlightening journey! 

Don't be a sociopath.

Would you believe it if I said there is a frequency spectrum that accompanies states of psychedelia, healing, aha moments of insight and artistic epiphanies, and you can evoke it on demand?  

Yes, gamma brain waves are indicative of there being untapped potential in the human body in ways you may not suspect.  

MIT researchers found that rats that were given chemotherapy and then treated with Gamma wave bursts would experience far milder side effects such as chemo brain which is a form of forgetfulness after treatment.  The treatment also improved the myelin producing cells that help keep neurons myelinated as well as repairing damaged cells and DNA.  

How could it be that a frequency spectrum repairs cells and DNA?  Would this possibly mean that similar Gamma bursts in society might be a general therapeutic?  Imagine if that were the case that not only are we swimming EMF's from telecommunication infrastructure, but we're also lacking the gamma frequencies that could (only in theory) combat much of society's ails?  I know I'm stretching... but it's fun to stretch every now and then to entertain how technology can be used in societal healing.

And that's what this episode is mostly about.  The collective Aha moment (accompanied by gamma waves) that society desperately needs right now to rise to all the existential threats is not an algorithm, a medicine or even gamma waves themselves, but the Aha moment within each of us that we, individually matter.  

I don't believe the problems of our time will be solved but transcended by the awakened artist in each of us.  I know that's flowery, but flowery is something needed as well.

If you've ever felt betrayed by the world, only to discover what a self-help book could have taught you?  Some wounds bring you to your knees and sometimes no one help can help.  You have to pick yourself back up.  

While I've had many rites-of-passage moments in my life, they were simply practice for the latest.  And there is no bad guy in this story.  Only teachers and students.  And what ever you call those who refuse to learn from the pain.

James Fadiman, who popularized microdosing psychedelic mushrooms, wrote a book called the symphony of selves, referring to the concept that we have more than one voice speaking to us within.  Some of those voices test us to see how much we value ourselves.  Will we stick up for our boundaries?  If not, who will bare the worst of it?

People in this world are hurt and when we cannot hold that pain alone, we project it and hope someone will come to our aid.  But a particular kind of hurt that I experienced a few years back made me reconsider everything I believe.   

The deeper I reconsidered my reality, the more I came to realize that there are no other voices outside my head.  Just me in disguise.  In this video I speak of what I noticed while I went through my healing process.

I learned that it was the little boy in me that needed to become a man that was hurt, scared, offended and lost.  

As with a cymatic pattern in the sand created by a simple frequency, the phase it must enter in order to evolve into its next pattern is chaos.   And chaos was the new normal in the dark void I found myself in just after the pain set in.  I was drowning in the pain and resistance was futile.

But just like the Celine Cairo song expresses so beautifully, "I found a light" down on the bottom of the sea, and I took it with me.  The answer was not to avoid the pain.  It was to drown in it and put the old self to rest.  

Something beautiful arose and I hope I express it well enough for you to see yourself in it.  

In this episode I explore Curt Doolittle's views on masculine vs feminine neurology and where lies and undermining communication originates.  He does a fantastic job modeling the way masculine and feminine neurology operates by spoke or unspoken contract.  It's mathematical as well.  The structure of the way we communicate is steeped in two evolutionary channels: Masculine and Feminine neurology. 

 I also tease apart some of the concepts around the role of men and women in the Iroquois nation and how they structured society to distribute power between the sexes while still honor the strengths of the masculine and feminine.

Finally, I dive into Curt's thoughts on the obstacle keeping our future generations from understanding masculine and feminine neurology as well as finance, economics and family divisions of labor.  Apparently... it's the parents.

I give my thoughts at the end about where I think the problem truly exists.
