Think and Unwind with Nathan James

Ever wondered about the nature of religion and why it seems that the majority of people on Earth need something to believe in? I try to give my psychological analysis on religion and how it's an incredible part of our history and lives. I'll be taking a break till January now so sorry, but I hope to come back maybe a bit more interesting. Hope you enjoy!

Ever asked yourself if what you're seeing in front of you is actually there? Or if it's actually different from how you see it? I'm going to go through the journey of skepticism, empiricism, rationalism, idealism, and then finally realism. You might find this one pretty cool, hope you enjoy!

We all love the internet and being connected, but goddamn are there some stupid stuff that is now influencing us daily. I ranted about my thoughts on that today so... hope you enjoy!

Many people use terms such as OCD, Phobic, or depressed for things that really are nowhere near the actual disorder. This is fine in some contexts, but only as long as you actually understand the real thing and how devastating it can be for people who suffer from them. I talk about a multitude of Anxiety Disorders, Depression, and Bipolar Disorder. With some nice examples and details. Hope you guys enjoy!

Identity is a concept that's been increasingly troubling for us. How do we define who we actually are? What makes someone a person? It might seem like a dumb question at first, but it can actually affect our entire society and how we treat other living beings. Hope you guys enjoy!

Is there even a true universal right or wrong? This is a question many great thinkers have tried answering for centuries, so don't expect much from me. Well anyway, here's the episode. Hope you enjoy!

People like avoiding discussion about politics with family because they know the power it has to split a household in two. But should we really just avoid it and let it continue to divide society? Why are people so defensive with political opinions and what must we do to advance? I give my view on the matter and my hopes for our future. Hope you enjoy!

People really wanted me to speak about existence/afterlife so I tried my best to compile my thoughts into this episode. I try answering things like what is the nature of existence, the purpose of life and what might come after in some cultures and how that concept influences us today. Hope you guys enjoy! I'd appreciate the feedback!

Drugs, there are many kinds and they have many effects. But what about long term effects that could really leave you giving your last prayer? Well I look up some info on the psychedelics, alcohol, the devil's lettuce and the good ol' death sticks and my experiences with them. Hope you enjoy! -Also I do not advocate for the underage consumption of any recreational drug.

I made a poll and you guys chose this, so here it is. Love is something that everybody experiences at some point, but what is the science behind it? Is love really just a reaction of chemicals? I mean kinda, but there's a bit more to it. So enjoy!

This time we're going to do less thinking and more unwinding. I tell you guys a bit of how my life in school bwas like and the ways I interacted with people around me. Hope you guys like this kind of chill episode every once and a while so we can let the brain rest. Enjoy!

Everybody dreams, yet noone knows why. Neither do I but atleast I have some sort of idea on how dreams come to be and why. Also, remember to get that sweet uninterrupted REM or else you'll get a freaky visit in the middle of the night! Enjoy!

Everybody's got different opinions and perspectives, yet how do we properly convey them without putting the person down and spiraling into an all out drunken bar fight? We try to think about how we can speak and maintain a proper conversation by being cool with eachother and simply not being an ass.

Hey so 3rd episode now. We talk about education, how it's messed up and maybe what direction you should go with it. This all comes from an inexperienced teen, so have fun listening to my absolutely solid and reliable advice!

Why does that song make you sit in the corner and cry? Why does the other one make you feel like you could storm a fortress? This episode we explore the effects music has on your mind and how it mirrors your crappy personality. Hope you enjoy!

Yep that's how we're starting this series. I talk about how kids absorb everything around them and how your brain loves working against you. Just relax listening to my horrible mic! Send me feedback: https://www.instagram.com/njames.mocha/
