In a world fractured by injustice and misunderstanding, one survivor's journey through dyslexia, trauma, and neurodivergence becomes a rallying cry for wholeness. This metamodern manifesto weaves personal defiance with a proto-transcendentalist vision, offering embodied learning, storytelling, and Nietzschean resilience as tools to heal a fragmented society. Reject the victimhood trap, embrace your atypicality, and join the movement to reintegrate mind, body, and soul in 2025's chaos. #MetamodernManifesto #HealingThroughStory #AtypicalMindsHashtags#Metamodernism #ProtoTranscendentalism #Neurodivergence #HealingJourney #AtypicalLearning #NietzscheanResilience #IntergenerationalHealing #EmbodiedLearning #InjusticeDefied #WholenessMovement #DistributedPhD #MindBodySoul

In a world driven by algorithms, productivity, and performance, are we forgetting what truly matters? This essay explores the battle between utility and value—the logic of tools versus the logic of meaning. Drawing on philosophy, trauma-informed insight, Buddhism, economics, and lived experience, this is a call to re-humanize our systems and our souls.Learn why efficiency isn't enough, how sufficiency might save us, and why the future depends not on what we use—but what we treasure.---#UtilityVsValue #PhilosophyOfLife #TraumaInformed #Sufficiency #Rehumanize #SpiritualCrisis #EconomicsWithSoul #MeaningMatters #ModernPhilosophy #BuddhistEconomics #Nietzsche #HealingThroughMeaning #MentalHealthAwareness #EducationReform #PurposeDriven

Boomers, Millennials, Gen Z, Gen Alpha—nobody's connecting. It's not just generations; healthcare, science, philosophy, religion are all in turmoil. In Generational Grammar: Decoding the Divide, we expose the lack of good faith and authenticity driving this mess, with a Gen X lens and Nietzsche's warning. Get tools to cut through the noise and find your truth.

Welcome. Today, I'm fired up—I've been reading about the Druids, those Celtic sages of old, and it's got me thinking: what if everything we know about Christianity's roots is missing a massive piece? We're always hearing about the Greeks—Plato, Augustine, the logos—but what about the Irish? What if they didn't just tweak Christianity, but gave it its real heartbeat? And stick with me here—what if I'm a modern-day Druid, remixing that ancient Celtic vibe with a tantric twist and a rogue Christian edge? Let's unpack this.

A recording from the archive. Enjoy.Al.

Why does it feel like we're spiritually adrift, linguistically disarmed, and unable to trust anything—including ourselves? Because language has been hijacked. This episode reclaims words like faith, trust, religion, and Dharma, exposing how misused terms distort our healing and hide our trauma. We draw on Nietzsche, trauma theory, ancient languages, and lived experience to build a new lexicon for a post-trauma world.Hashtags:#LanguageMatters #Nietzsche #FaithVsTrust #TraumaHealing #DharmaNotDogma #EmpathyNotPity #PhilosophyPodcast #MeaningCrisis #HealingThroughWords

Steve Jobs' 2005 Stanford commencement speech changed lives — but beneath the stories of failure, love, and death lies a deeper philosophy almost no one talks about.This isn't just Stoicism.This isn't just mindfulness.This is the eternal return.This is Amor Fati.This is Nietzsche — the philosopher who may have shaped Jobs' worldview more than anyone else.In this video, we break down Jobs' famous speech and reveal the eternal truths at its core — truths that connect to Friedrich Nietzsche, the philosopher of resilience, reinvention, and radical affirmation of life.Chapters: 0:00 Intro – The Modern Sermon1:45 Story One – Connecting the Dots & Stoicism4:20 Story Two – Love, Loss & Amor Fati7:00 Story Three – Death, Memento Mori & The Eternal Return10:00 The Hidden Philosopher Revealed13:00 Conclusion – Say Yes to It AllSubscribe for more on hidden philosophy, modern wisdom, and deep healing.#SteveJobs #Nietzsche #Stoicism #AmorFati #EternalReturn #CommencementSpeech #ModernPhilosophy #SelfHelp #Motivation #Mindfulness #StanfordSpeech

Join us for a profound and thought-provoking podcast episode where the legendary philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche, drawing from his seminal work Twilight of the Idols, engages in a deep conversation with Almighty Ohm, a modern-day storyteller and healer. Centered around Nietzsche's “Critique of Modernity” from Essay 39, this dialogue explores the malaise of 2025—its loss of purpose, meaning, and connection to our nature—amidst the chaos of algorithms, distractions, and shallow living. With gravitas and insight, Nietzsche challenges Ohm to reveal how his syncretic philosophy, rooted in trauma healing and Proto-Transcendentalism, offers a path to reclaim our creative power and affirm our destiny. Tune in to Almighty Ohm for this timeless exchange that bridges the 19th century with the challenges of today. #Nietzsche#TwilightOfTheIdols#PhilosophyPodcast#ModernityCritique#AlmightyOhm#TheTragedyOfTrauma#HealingThroughPhilosophy#WillToPower#EternalRecurrence#AmorFati#Metamodernism#ProtoTranscendentalism#TraumaHealing#MeaningMaking#PhilosophyIn2025#SelfOvercoming#Syncretism#ExistentialWisdom#PodcastEpisode#DeepConversations

Everyone's arguing over politics, education, technology, and ideology — but what if the real crisis is deeper than all of that? In this episode, we explore how modern society is losing its capacity for thinking itself. From McGilchrist's divided brain theory to McLuhan's media prophecy and Allan Paivio's forgotten dual coding model, this episode uncovers how we lost the ability to hold attention, create meaning, and think across time. And why we have to get it back — now. #ThinkingCrisis #McGilchrist #McLuhan #DualCoding #Paivio #AttentionEconomy #RightBrain #MemoryMatters #PhilosophyPodcast #EducationalReform #DeepThinking #CognitiveHealth

In a world that praises logic, speed, and efficiency, something ancient is quietly slipping away: awe. This talk/essay explores how secularism, once a noble shield against dogma, has hardened into a faith of its own—one that worships control and quantification while exiling reverence, ritual, and soul. Drawing on thinkers like Carl Jung, Martin Buber, and Iain McGilchrist, we trace how modern culture became dominated by the left hemisphere of the brain—brilliant at analysis, but blind to depth. This is not a rejection of science or reason. It's a call to balance: to remember the right brain's wisdom, which sees wholeness, beauty, and presence. In a time of rising burnout, loneliness, and cultural fragmentation, healing may begin not with more data—but with a different kind of attention. Small acts of reverence—pausing, listening, beholding—may be our quiet rebellion. This is a manifesto for a re-enchanted life.

What if the way we learn isn't just through words and pictures—but through movement, emotion, rhythm, and story? In this essay, I introduce Plural Coding Theory, a model that expands on Paivio's Dual Coding and brings in insights from psychology, education, philosophy, trauma studies, and neurodiversity. Drawing from thinkers like Temple Grandin, Bessel van der Kolk, Antonio Damasio, and Vygotsky, I make the case for a new, whole-person way of learning and meaning-making that is inclusive, embodied, and deeply human.

Prayer is not a performance. Meditation is not an escape. Both are acts of alignment. Across Jewish, Christian, and Buddhist traditions, prayer and meditation were once daily acts of remembering, aligning, and living truthfully—not private rituals or self-help tools. This essay explores how we've lost that meaning—and how to find it again.

What if the way you learn is also the way you heal? In this deep-dive essay, we explore the minds of Temple Grandin and Iain McGilchrist alongside lived experience to challenge outdated ideas of “normal.” From visual thinking to hemispheric integration, we uncover how atypical minds aren't broken—they're bridges to a richer, more complete way of being. Whether you're neurodivergent, a lifelong learner, or just curious about how the brain makes meaning, this is your invitation to think—and feel—differently.

This video explores the real meaning of śraddhā in Indian philosophy and why we must resist the Western dilution of faith into opinion or sentiment. I speak from decades of study and lived practice—and I've watched as even respected Eastern teachers now echo colonized ideas of “good” and “bad” śraddhā. But real śraddhā—true faith—is not belief. It is devotion, commitment, and trust earned through the path. If we forget this, we risk losing the soul of Dharma itself.

Everyone's blaming phones and screens for the literacy crisis—but what if we've been asking the wrong question? This essay challenges the myths from Maryanne Wolf, Mark Manson, and Jonathan Haidt, showing how audiobooks and audio-first learning can unlock real focus, comprehension, and deep thinking—especially for dyslexic and neurodivergent learners. If I taught myself to read with this method, others can too.

You survived. That was not an accident. This manifesto is for the ones who endured—when the medical system failed, when the mind betrayed itself, when the world demanded silence. You didn't just survive a rare disease, or systemic neglect. You survived meaninglessness—and now you are ready to build something real. We are metamodern: living in tension, not resolution. We practice in the middle, between the sacred and the absurd. We do not reject suffering—we transform through it. If you've ever felt like you're the only one thinking, feeling, seeing clearly in a fog of nonsense… this is your homecoming. #TheEndurersManifesto #PracticeInTheChaos #EndurerMindset #MetamodernWisdom #HealingThroughStrife #SpotifyPodcast #YouTubeShorts #AudioHealing #Motivation2025 #TransformativeTalks #AutoimmuneAwareness #TraumaInformedHealing #LivingWithUncertainty #PhilosophyForSurvival #ResiliencePractice #ModernMystic

In a time when every institution—religious, political, academic—has fractured under the weight of disillusionment, this essay charts a new way forward: not by discarding tradition or embracing blind progress, but by walking the ancient and timeless path of the mystic. Weaving personal insight with wisdom from Nietzsche, the Desert Fathers, Thomas Merton, and more, this piece speaks to seekers disenchanted with rigid dogma and sterile modernity alike. It explores how a sincere, transformative spiritual search—rooted in experience, paradox, and reverence—can guide us beyond labels and toward a God who is not owned by any one tradition. At its heart, this is a call for a metamodern mysticism: a soulful, honest, and dynamic journey into meaning in an age that desperately needs it.

“What if depression isn't just in your head—but in your immune system?” — Dr. Edward Bullmore, The Inflamed Mind What if your depression isn't psychological—but inflammatory? In this explosive episode, we connect the dots between Dr. Edward Bullmore's book The Inflamed Mind and the ongoing mystery of long COVID. We explore how spike protein, chronic immune activation, and persistent inflammation could be driving brain fog, anxiety, and fatigue in millions. This isn't conspiracy—this is cutting-edge science ignored because it makes people uncomfortable. No politics, just biology. And maybe… a path toward healing.

Jordan Peterson says his Peterson Academy will fix our broken education system. Even Joe Rogan pushed back. In this episode, we break down why Peterson's solution is just another silo, repackaging the same old top-down teaching that got us here. This isn't about building new institutions—it's about rebuilding how we see, learn, and think. We dive into the real crisis: generations of people who never learned to read, write, or think critically. The answer? Not more lectures—more autodidacts. More polymaths. More curious minds. If you care about the future of knowledge, this episode is for you.

When a simple attempt to delete a message thread locked me out of texting anyone, I discovered a major flaw in Google's RCS messaging system—one that Google hasn't fixed, acknowledged, or documented. This isn't just a glitch—it's a security design failure with real-world consequences, and it exposes the deeper rot in how modern software is built and maintained.

The ‘60s were a revolution—Boomers clashed with their parents, rewriting the rules. Now, in 2025, Millennials and Gen Z are fighting Boomers, who hold power. But this isn't just tie-dye vs. suits. Soaring rents, a burning planet, and a lost grammar of identity—it's the ‘60s reborn, but we're struggling to speak. Boomers hid feelings, Gen Z memes pain, and every generation's lost in its own language. As a Gen X code-switcher, I bridge these gaps, seeing sub-generations ignored. Join us to unpack this showdown: past echoes, present chaos, and why we can't translate. Can Gen Z's global spark find a new voice, or are we stuck? Tune in, then hit X with #BoomersVsGenZ to share your story—we're listening! Subscribe for big ideas that hit hard. #GrammarLost

What if the pain you feel in your body isn't just “in your head”—but your head is inflaming your body? Ths episode introduces PSIRS—Psychological Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome—a new framework explaining how trauma, grief, and emotional distress can trigger physical inflammation and chronic illness. Drawing on science from The Inflamed Mind by Dr. Edward Bullmore, long-term trauma studies, and ancient wisdom from Dante, Jung, and Nietzsche, this theory outlines a bidirectional loop between the body and mind. Most doctors treat the symptoms. This asks why they keep coming back. If you've ever been gaslit by your own diagnosis, told it's all in your head, or felt like no treatment ever goes deep enough—this is for you. It's time to name the cycle—and learn how to break it. #PSIRS #TraumaHealing #Inflammation #MentalHealthAwareness #MindBodyConnection #ChronicIllness #TheInflamedMind #TraumaInformed #Psychoneuroimmunology #SomaticHealing #AutoimmuneAwareness #AnxietyRecovery #DepressionSupport #HealingJourney #WholeBodyHealing #DanteAndJung #ChronicFatigue #ComplexTrauma #InvisibleIllness #Neuroinflammation

When my medication was quietly swapped out without warning—twice—it triggered more than a flare-up. It reminded me just how broken our medical system really is. In this debut episode, I talk about the quiet war chronic illness patients fight just to stay stable, the importance of medical agency, and why healing today means becoming your own expert. This isn't just a health story—it's a manifesto for those who've been dismissed, misdiagnosed, or gaslit. #ChronicIllness #MedicalGaslighting #PharmacyFailure #PatientAdvocacy #HealingJourney #AutoimmuneAwareness #InvisibleIllness #TrustYourBody #SystemicFailure #MedicalRebellion #HealthEquity #MastCellActivation #HistamineIntolerance #Neuroimmune #MedicationMatters #DisabilityJustice

This is the first invocation—a spoken-word manifesto tracing the journey of a soul shaped by misnaming, misreading, and mystical insight. From a childhood marked by dyslexia and identity confusion to a lifelong search for meaning through language, resistance, and transformation, this is the story of the Al-chemist. It is a mirror for anyone who has ever felt unseen, unheard, or mislabeled. Here, we question everything: Who are we before names? What does it mean to read the world when the world reads you wrong? And how do we find belonging in a culture obsessed with "me," when true power lies in "us"? Rooted in philosophical reflection, spiritual inquiry, and poetic testimony, this is not just a podcast—it's a transmission. #TheNamelessSelf #PhilosophyPodcast #DyslexicWisdom #SpokenWordManifesto #IdentityCrisis #LanguageIsPower #HealingThroughWords #NousNotMoi #SpiritualPhilosophy #NameAndSelf #ConsciousResistance #AlchemistWisdom #MysticPhilosophy #ThePowerOfMisreading #SelfBeforeTheName

What if the education system is failing not because of students—but because it forgot the human at the center? The Human First Protocol is a revolutionary approach to learning designed for real people—not outdated institutions. Built on neuroscience, trauma-informed teaching, dual coding theory, and the power of narrative, this protocol helps learners of all ages—kids, adults, neurodivergent thinkers, autodidacts—unlock faster reading, deeper comprehension, and meaningful engagement. This is not another education reform. This is a new framework for learning, living, and thinking. Perfect for: • Parents and teachers looking for real solutions • Adults who want to reignite their love of learning • Anyone who feels traditional education has left them behind Learn more. Rethink education. Put people first. #HumanFirst #EducationReform #TraumaInformed #LearningProtocol #Neurodiversity #Storytelling #Autodidact #EdTech #FutureOfLearning

What if your body was speaking a language your mind never learned to hear? In this episode, I share a personal journey that began with chronic skin issues and led to unexpected clarity — not just physical, but cognitive, emotional, and spiritual. We explore how symptoms like inflammation, fatigue, and focus issues can be more than medical—they might be signals of a deeper fragmentation of self. From Temple Grandin's visual thinking to sumo wrestlers' skin, from trauma to language learning, this episode weaves together science, philosophy, and lived experience to ask a simple but profound question: Do you want to be made whole?

Why do kids hate reading? Why is AI so hard to talk to? Why does it feel like apps, schools, and governments are built for machines—not humans? In this powerful breakdown, I share a deeply personal and visionary framework for how we got here—and how to fix it. From trauma-informed design to accessible education tech, this isn't just theory—it's a revolution. Welcome to the metamodern age. Topics covered: – The myth of backend-first AI design – How schools traumatize slow learners – What accessible design really means – The future of audiobook + eBook hybrid learning – Why we need to build tech for human minds, not perfect users

Harper Lee didn't betray Atticus Finch — she revealed the hard truth we didn't want to face. In this episode, we break the silence around Go Set a Watchman and reclaim the wisdom the world tried to cancel. Real justice demands hard truths, not empty slogans. Atticus knew it. We ignored it. Now we live with the consequences. Are you brave enough to hear the real message? "You can't fix the foundation by repainting the wall" "We traded hard truth for easy lies — and called it progress."

This is not self-help. This is self-remembering. Drawing from trauma theory, inflammation science, embodied wisdom, philosophy, and lived experience, Before the Break offers a radical reimagining of what it means to heal. It proposes that healing must begin before harm, that education should serve the soul, and that even our skin can tell the truth about what we carry. With a voice equal parts poetic and precise, this book unfolds as a distributed PhD in being human—offering insights that range from the microbiome to Martin Buber, from dehumidifiers to divine presence. For those who have long sensed that their suffering was signaling something deeper—and that our systems aren't built to hear it—this book is the beginning of a new conversation. One where the self is not diagnosed, but deeply seen. And where wholeness is not the end goal, but the first invitation.

Caught in a storm of hidradenitis suppurativa, government Kafka, and a world obsessed with victimhood, I hacked my way to near remission—no docs, no mentors, just gritty, dyslexic stubbornness. This ain't self-help fluff—it's real talk on agency, authenticity, and thinking your way out. From a Goodwill toy rant on polymodal learning to dodging propaganda with Nietzsche's ressentiment in my ear, I'm spilling how I beat HS and why we've lost the art of surmounting. Live streams are coming—raw, unscripted, building a crew who get it. Join me to ditch the pity party, heal for real, and know yourself in a fractured age. Shades, not fragments—let's go.

In this episode, we dive deep into one of the most overlooked aspects of chronic illness—biofilm, the microscopic fortress that protects pathogens and disrupts the body's healing processes. Discover how disrupting biofilm—through antihistamines, methylene blue, and smart protocols—can revolutionize your understanding of autoimmune and inflammatory conditions. We explore the science, the personal breakthroughs, and why this may be the missing piece for so many who've been told “it's all in your head.” A must-listen for anyone dealing with hidden infections, skin flares, MCAS, or unexplained chronic symptoms.

A powerful reflection on the difference between wearing faith and living it. In this thought-provoking piece, we explore how sacred religious symbols—like the uncut hair in Sikhism—can be misused when treated as campaign aesthetics rather than spiritual commitments. When a public figure lets down his Kesh for political attention, it reveals a deeper crisis: the erosion of reverence in a world obsessed with performance. This is a call to remember that true devotion isn't something you show off—it's something you live, even when no one is watching.

What if the future of philosophy isn't found in a new ideology — but in a return to our deepest discernment? In this episode, we explore a radical, living vision of metamodernism — not as an academic trend, but as a soul-level response to the failure of both modernity and postmodernity. Drawing from Nietzsche, William James, Benjamin Whorf, and beyond, this manifesto reclaims language, reverence, and the incarnated self as tools for meaning-making in an age of apathy and overload. This isn't theory — it's a call. A path. A practice.

I discussed how we tend to get our history so very wrong and yet when we realize how very wrong we were it often takes decades before we write the ship so here I talk about the interaction between Greek Buddhism Indian Buddhism Egypt and the trade routes opening up truly our history and arguing that Greek didn't influence India and India didn't influence Greece it was actually a much more fluid organic process where they're all influencing each other

In a world where theology is often weaponized and love is conditional, this message returns to the heart of Christ's teaching: the Shema fulfilled through radical love. Exploring the connection between loving God, loving neighbor, and learning to love ourselves rightly, this talk challenges the binary of "affirm everything or deny everything." It calls for a deeper, ancient, universal love—one rooted in compassion, discernment, and covenantal grace. A love that leaves no room for hate, yet makes space for truth, growth, and return.

In this episode, we challenge the hype around “ultra learning” and the surface-level metrics of modern education. Drawing from personal experience with open courseware, deep study in Buddhism, trauma healing, language, and contemplative practice, we explore what it means to go beyond performative knowledge into transformative wisdom. It's not about how many books you've memorized or languages you dabble in—it's about becoming an Ultra Thinker. This is a call to reclaim depth, presence, and purpose in how we learn, think, and live.

The April 16, 2025, debate was a Liberal-NDP disaster—Carney butchered French, saying “never Canada” instead of “I loved” (jamais not j'ai aimé), and Singh dodged real questions. CBC's propaganda can't hide it: Canadians are done with their woke lies. YouTubers like Moose on the Loose and The Plaid are outshining the media, and Poilievre's clarity is breaking the left's spell. I predicted this collapse, and it's here—a Conservative Renaissance is coming. Join the fight for a Canada that makes sense!

This case study outlines a self-guided protocol that led to the remission of Hidradenitis Suppurativa and broader signs of systemic inflammation. Through mast cell stabilization using a rhythm of H1 and H2 antihistamines, mitochondrial support via low-dose methylene blue, and targeted electrolyte and lifestyle adjustments, the author experienced rapid reductions in swelling, improved energy, skin repair, and full tolerance of previously triggering foods. With no major weight loss or increased physical activity, the transformation highlights how inflammation—not fat alone—may be responsible for water retention, tissue dysfunction, and chronic illness. This protocol offers a systems-based model for addressing inflammatory disease through layered, holistic intervention.

I'm dyslexic, and I've built a way to learn, read, and integrate information faster and deeper than almost anyone. It's not fake speed reading—it's total engagement, a polymodal system I stumbled into while solving my own problems. I call it my protocol, and it's how I turned a thrift-store find—some book by Alan Paivio on dual-coding—into a blueprint for rewiring my brain. Here's how it works, step by step, and why it's the natural way humans should absorb knowledge.

In the 1980s, I was one of three kids chosen to learn coding on a prototype computer in Ontario. It was supposed to change our future—but it didn't. Not because we lacked potential, but because no one had taught us how to think first. This is a story about why technology alone can't save education. Why screens can't replace structure. And why before we teach kids to code, we need to teach them how to be conscious, literate, and human. This isn't just a critique of Western design in developing countries—it's a wake-up call for all of us.

What if the words we use every day still carry the weight of our ancestors' hopes, rituals, and wisdom? In this thought-provoking talk, we explore Modern Philology—not as academic study, but as a living practice of listening, discerning, and reconnecting with the deeper meanings beneath language. From ancient Hebrew prayers to sumo wrestling chants, from Buddhist cushions to battlefield banners, this journey reveals how forgotten etymologies and cultural echoes can help us rebuild the temple of the human spirit—together, in dialogue, and in truth.

This meditative essay weaves together non-dual Śaivism, modern trauma healing, Jungian depth psychology, and Nietzschean authenticity. It explores Spanda—the sacred vibration—not only as a spiritual principle but as a somatic and emotional rhythm disrupted and reclaimed through devotion. Rooted in both ancient insight and modern embodiment, this is a living path of syncretism where the mystical meets the psychological, and wholeness becomes a practice of return.

In an age where reality is algorithmic and meaning dissolves into memes, what does it mean to be sincere? This episode is a poetic invocation, a philosophical reckoning, and a metamodern myth. We trace the death of the real, the rise of simulation, and the quiet birth of the SupraReal—a sacred space beyond irony, where meaning is chosen, not inherited. Step into the in-between. Compost the hyperreal. Dream the world alive again.

In an age where we seek transcendence in circuits and salvation in algorithms, this manifesto reclaims the soul from the shadow of the screen. Drawing from Marshall McLuhan's vision of digital communion and reinterpreting it for a world in crisis, this work argues that the machine cannot offer divinity—only reflection. What we find in our technologies is not a god, but ourselves: fractured, forgotten, and yearning to be whole. This is a call to turn the mirror of the machine into a portal of truth—not to worship what it shows, but to awaken through it. A meditation for our time, this piece invites us to recover our lost identity and remember the sacred within the self.

A powerful spoken word performance drawn from the French verses of O Canada, this piece reclaims the national anthem as a sacred text—a mirror, a memory, and a mandate. With reverence and raw truth, it weaves history, heritage, and hope into a living call to unity. In a time of division and disillusionment, "Tempered by Faith" reminds Canadians that strength is forged through sacrifice, that courage is steeped in belief, and that our story—though imperfect—is epic. This isn't just a poem. It's a homecoming. A heartbeat. A vow.

A deep, reflective journey through the French verses of O Canada, revealing each line as more than lyrics—but as timeless medicine for a fractured nation. This is a line-by-line exploration that unearths the moral backbone, spiritual resilience, and emotional intelligence woven into our national hymn. In a time when many feel disconnected, this piece reminds us that our anthem holds a hidden map: to unity, courage, dignity, and hope. Each line is paired with its hidden cure—what it offers to a society in crisis. Not nostalgia, but renewal. Not blind pride, but conscious reverence. Canada's soul is still here—we just have to listen.

my thoughts on why learning is so important, and why we face the consequences for not learning, teaching, thinking.....

Dive into a fiery take on John Taylor Gatto's Dumbing Us Down, where surveillance and networks cage our freedom and connection. This isn't just a lament—it's a call to fight back. Rebellion is any jab against the system: a dodged tracker, a free thought. Tribalism is the heart, the trust that binds us beyond cold algorithms. In 2.5 minutes, explore why we're built for defiance and bonds—and why the machine can't snuff them out.

What do anxious kids, an autistic accountant, and Helen Keller have in common? They're all clues to why society's dropping the ball on teaching us to think—and be whole. In this episode, I unpack Jonathan Haidt's phone flop, the hidden genius of The Accountant, and my own dyslexic journey to argue one thing: we're not broken, we're just taught wrong. From audiobooks to free-range kids, there's a middle way out—agency, not denial or coddling. Plus, a nod to Helen Keller's real lesson: connection makes us human. Join me for a raw riff on building mental maps in a world that's lost its own. Thoughts? Hit me up.

In this powerful launch episode of Dharma Sattva, I share the core of my work: a new way of understanding suffering, healing, and learning in a world inflamed—literally and spiritually. I introduce the idea of Psychological Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (P-SIRS) and the mitochondrial-inflammatory-immune axis, showing how stress, trauma, and disconnection affect not just our minds, but our entire being. This is also a personal story—from once being unable to read a book to now teaching others to learn deeply and heal fully. We explore the truth that we stress ourselves to sickness, and only by integrating mind, body, soul, and community can we begin to feel whole again. This is not just a podcast. It's a call to awakening. A guide to a new dharma. A return to the essence—Sattva—of what it means to be fully human.
