In this episode, we place the reality of UFOs (unidentified flying objects) under the torch. We examine the variations of artificial life and we separate the facts from the conjectures. We also look at the fault in the mainstream definition and perception of UFOs. We delve into the pros and cons of the craze of posting vaccine cards online. We try to figure out the possible connection between vaccination, patriotism, and humanity. We also try to determine if posting vaccine cards online comes from a thirst for validation and acknowledgment. Are the latest UFO photos and videos real? Why do the photos of UFOs look so surreal? Why are we not getting high-definition shots of UFOs? Are aliens and ghosts products of our delusions? Why do people post their vaccine cards online? Do we post our vaccine cards online because we seek a digital trophy? We answer all these questions and more! Please feel free to comment below and let us know your thoughts. Geoff & Kira

The factors mitigating the glamour of Hollywood are the subjects of this episode; we look at the catalysts of the dying thrill of Hollywood and cinematic artistry. We weigh the combined effects of an ever-growing socio-political sensitivity, the erosion of quality content by pieces of ‘best selling’ junks, the numbing effect of the internet and pervasive technology, and the incursion of Artificial Intelligence into artistry on the trio of Hollywood, celebrity ship, and creativity. We diagnose Hollywood with inertia and we recommend a return to cultural refinement, awareness and conscious media consumption, and a high sense of responsibility as the needed curative measures. What does the future hold for Hollywood? What happened to Hollywood’s glamour? How did comedy die? Is technology Hollywood’s greatest party pooper? Are we, in any way, responsible for Hollywood’s death? How do we save Hollywood? We answer these questions and more! Please feel free to comment below and let us know your thoughts. Geoff & Kira

In this episode, we look at the perks and the possible downsides of remote work. We look at the ripple effect remote work would have on different facets of society and the alterations remote work would trigger in people’s socialization patterns. We also look at remote work as a catalyst for a massive infrastructural transformation of our cities. We examine the possible reactions of different generations to remote work, the science of adapting to remote work, and the art of finding the balance between home and work life. We also examine the double-edged effect of the duo of remote work and artificial intelligence. Can the feeling of comradeship and connectedness people get from working with other people be replaced by working with a screen? Are people ever going to be comfortable with remote work? Is remote work the ultimate productivity hack the world is looking for? Are our offices and garages going to disappear? Would the decline of city dwellers continue? We answer these questions and more! Please feel free to comment below and let us know your thoughts. Geoff & Kira

In this episode, we consider the extent of damage labels have done to society. We take a serious look at the devastating impact labels have had on our persons, our identities, and our consciousness as humans. We check our mental makeup and the faults in our thought patterns that make us prone to categorizing people and things unfairly. We weigh the power of social media in validating labels, the corrective power of mindfulness and critical thinking, and the power of stronger convictions and accountability as the needed tools for the much-needed anti-label crusade. Why exactly do we label? Is labelling a result of the fault in our stars? Why do we skip the rigours of careful evaluation and opt to reiterate past stigma? Can we truly be mindful and in charge of our thoughts? How do we combat the menace of labels? Are we "woke" or deluded? We discuss these questions and more!
