“The Federal Reserve’s recent interest-rate cuts have done little to stop the stock market crash. The Fed’s series of rate cuts over the past six months, when there was no imminent signs of recession, left it without the ammunition to fight a real economic crisis, like the coronavirus. Once the crisis passes, there’s a good chance of a lopsided recovery with slow output growth with accelerating prices and inflation; in other words, stagflation. ” In this episode of #AmeerApproved I sit down with @George Gammon to talk about our current economic situation Things we cover Repo Market Fed Cut Oil Wars War on Cash Inflation Gold, Silver, and Bitcoin Watch Video Version    ABOUT GEORGE https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCpvyOqtEc86X8w8_Se0t4-w/featured   George Edward Gammon is an American real estate investor and entrepreneur.

In this episode, we dive in deep on C. H. Douglas ( Social Credit is a socio-economic philosophy wherein consumers, fully provided with adequate purchasing power, establish the policy of production through the exercise of their monetary vote. In this view, the term economic democracy does not mean worker control of industry. Removing the policy of production from banking institutions, government, and industry, Social Credit envisages an "aristocracy of producers, serving and accredited by a democracy of consumers."  Guest M.

What is the Hero’s Journey archetype? The Hero's Journey is a classic story structure that's shared by stories worldwide. Coined by academic Joseph Campbell in 1949, it refers to a wide-ranging category of tales in which a character ventures out to get what they need, faces conflict, and ultimately triumphs over adversity. Here are the three stages of the hero’s journey: The Departure Act: the Hero leaves the Ordinary World. The Initiation Act: the Hero ventures into unknown territory (the " Special World ") and is birthed into a true champion through various trials and challenges. The Return Act: the Hero returns in triumph.

Nietzsche introduces the three metamorphoses in his book Thus Spoke Zarathustra. The metamorphoses describe the process of spiritual transformation that characterizes his vision of the flourishing life. We don’t always think of Nietzsche as a “spiritual” philosopher. But the story of the three metamorphoses is nothing if not a saga of spiritual transformation. The phases of spiritual metamorphosis are symbolically represented by the camel, the lion, and the child.     Watch on YouTube https://youtu.be/h0QWKQoeMIE     Get access to all my weekly content, episodes, live events, and business-related updates http://tiny.cc/3p9mcz Follow me on Minds https://www.minds.com/ameerrosic/ Listen on Itunes http://tiny.cc/fwtvcz Sticher http://tiny.cc/so9mcz Google Podcast http://tiny.cc/dekncz Spotify http://tiny.cc/fxtvcz

His mother is a Saskatchewan farm girl who can trace her lineage back to the late 1600s early 1700s to a town called Greenlay, Quebec. His father is an immigrant who managed to escape from Yugoslavia in the 1950s, only to be thrown in jail for deserting his country. Upon his release, he swam the Danube River into Austria and eventually made his way to Canada.   Keith has both a hereditary Canadian heritage and an immigrant background which gives him a unique perspective on some of todays more important topics dealing with immigration. Showing the same toughness as his father, Keith turned down a scholarship to Waterloo in Mathematics and chose instead to become a bricklayer. He is an activist for many causes and has supported marriage equality since the early 1990s when his brother and his partner were one of the first same-sex couples to marry at the United Church in Toronto in 1992. Keith’s activism for the Cannabis industry began in 2015 when he was in Calgary and Dana Larsen got arrested for handing out seeds.   Keith was at the front line demanding they arrest him as well. In 2016, Keith warned against the impending Cannabis Act and the "man behind the curtain so to speak, that would eventually lead to the problems we are seeing today with the poorly executed legalization of cannabis in Canada. Keith is still fighting for the decriminalization of cannabis and spoke at the 420 Rally for cannabis freedom at both the Vancouver event in 2017 and the Toronto event in 2019. He will continue to fight until cannabis is decriminalized. Keith is a staunch supporter of property rights and freedom of speech. Keith was first introduced to Libertarianism in 2008 while following the U.S. election. He was immediately captivated by Dr. Paul and his unapologetic stances on property rights and personal freedoms. Keith is well-read on many topics, has read all of Ayn Rand books, and is a follower of Milton Friedman and Frederick Hayak.   In September 2015 Keith found Tim Moen and the Libertarian Party of Canada and supported the local candidate in Grand Prairie for the 2015 election. In 2016, Keith became involved with the BC Libertarian Party and helped grow its membership and candidate numbers for the 2017 provincial election. Keith himself garnered the 2nd highest percentage of votes for the party in that election (2.5%) and the 3rd highest vote total (410). In 2018 Keith moved back to Ontario and became involved with the Ontario Libertarian Party where he is currently running for party leader. Keith represented the Libertarian Party of Canada in the York-Simcoe riding in Barrie during the 2019 federal by-election,

In this episode of #AmeerApproved I sit down with Joshua Gans to talk about his new book INNOVATION + EQUALITY. All innovation entails uncertainty; there's no way to predict which new technologies will catch on. Therefore, rather than betting on the future of particular professions, we should consider policies that embrace uncertainty and protect people from unfavorable outcomes. To this end, they suggest policies that promote both innovation and equality. If we encourage innovation in the right way, our future can look more like the cheerful techno-utopia of Star Trek than the dark techno-dystopia of The Terminator.

In this episode of AmeerApproved I sit down with Dr. Christopher DiCarlo and dive in deep on does free will exists. How can we use Evolutionary psychology to better understand human nature and are human pre-programmed and or do we have a choice in our actions. Much of the conversation will also focus on the concept of free will and the freedom (or lack thereof) that humans have in making ethical decisions.    Dr. Christopher DiCarlo is a philosopher, educator, and author.

In this episode of AmeerApproved, I sit down with Rotem Petranker to talk about the state of Psychedelic Research especially the research he is doing on Microdosing and why it is imperative that we have Open science standards    “A first study of microdosing” Microdosing psychedelics, such as lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) and psilocybin, has become a recent media phenomenon, yet scientific studies verifying its effects are absent from the literature. To begin addressing these gaps in knowledge, we measured the microdosing drug practices and psychological functioning of existing communities engaging in this activity, in the first ever microdosing study. This pre-registered online study involved 1390 participants, some of whom were microdosers (either presently or in the past), and some of whom were non-microdosers (either interested in trying it in the future or not interested in microdosing). Our results suggest distinct patterns of microdosing in the population, as well as significant difference between microdosers and non-microdosers on several personality and well-being measures such as negative emotionality and wisdom. This research will serve to inform individuals already microdosing, the scientific community, and policymakers in the future.     Guest  Rotem Petranker is a master’s student at York University, working with Dr. John Eastwood. He is interested in cognition as a space to traverse in which scaffolding and shortcuts are available. Examples of scaffolding include language in general and metaphor in particular; shortcuts include creativity in general and insight in particular. Movement in cognitive space requires the expenditure of attention, which is another one of Rotem’s main theoretical areas of interest. Rotem is interested in the effects of certain practices, such as psychedelics and meditation, have on cognitive space.   Selected Publications Anderson, T & Dihn-Williams, L & Petranker, R.   Microdosing Psychedelics: Characteristics and Correlates  2018 Anderson, T & Petranker, R. Microdosing Psychedelics: Personality, mental health, and creativity differences in microdosers. 2018 Eastwood, J.D. & Petranker.

Why Keeping a Daily Journal Could Change Your Life - Uj Ramdas   In this Episode, Uj Ramdas dives in deep on the research of Gratitude done by Martin Seligman and How does gratitude do this? One way is by stimulating two important regions in our brains: the hypothalamus, which regulates stress, and the ventral tegmental area, which plays a significant role in the brain’s reward system that produces feelings of pleasure.  In the next chapter, Uj dives in to discuss the pivotal work of Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi from Finding Flow: The Psychology of Optimal Experience.
