So many people on social media are making videos about how they're deconstructing Christianity which is a nice way of saying they're giving God the finger. They're backsliding, they're turning their backs on their creator, and a lot of it has to do with contradictions they're finding in the Bible.A lot of those contradictions turn out to be Supernatural Bible changes so their entire decision process is based on a faulty assumption.They're assuming that God is flawed and that he's gone back on his word and his word isn't trustworthy, therefore God isn't trustworthy. But he told you he was going to do this thousands of years ago. And if you'd realize that you probably wouldn't be backsliding. Besides both Job and Abraham were faced with contradictions and they didn't backslide. And the Mandela effect Christian has a supernaturally changing Bible and we're not backsliding, so what's different between us and everybody else.Stay connected in case we get bannedSign up for newsletterhttps://www.wakeuporelse.com/newsletterTake the Mandela Effect Bible Quizhttps://alteredbible.com/quiz/Our Channelshttps://www.wakeuporelse.comhttps://www.alteredbible.comhttps://www.rumble.com/c/wakeuporelse / wakeuporelse1 / wakeuporelse1 https://www.bitchute.com/wakeuporelse / wakeuporelse https://odysee.com/@Wakeuporelse:9"The Conspiracy Theorist Survival Guide Podcast"https://www.wakeuporelse.com/ourpodcastContact John wakeuporelse@proton.meJUMP IN - BE A PART OF THE REFORMATIONDO NOT make checks payable to wakeuporelseMake checks payable to John KirwinMAIL CHECKS TO John KirwinPO Box 78362Charlotte NC 28271Be a $10.00/month partner https://donorbox.org/wakeuporelseCREDIT CARDhttps://donorbox.org/wakeuporelsePAYPAL https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/kirwi...CASHAPPhttps://cash.app/$wakeuporelse$WakeuporelseVENMOhttps://www.venmo.com/wakeuporelse@wakeuporelseZELLEwakeuporelse@proton.meCRYPTO CURRENCIEShttps://www.wakeuporelse.com/donateGet both of my books FREE www.wakeuporelse.com / www.alteredbible.com1) "The Conspiracy Theorist Survival Guide"2) The Mandela effect Supernatural Bible Changes And The Doctrine Of The Preservation Of ScripturePAPERBACK - AUDIO ON AMAZON AND MOST RETAILERSThe Conspiracy Theorist Survival Guide: A Guidebook For Persecuted Truthers https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C91X6K55 The Mandela Effect Supernatural Bible Changes and the doctrine of the preservation of scripture https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DH51XBJ2Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/the-conspiracy-theorist-survival-guide-podcast/donations

Peter Hall and Paul Gandersman are the writer/directors behind Man Finds Tape, a faux documentary horror film that uses mixed media, curated “evidence,” and found footage logic to tell a cosmic horror story about a malevolent force that overtakes a small town. In this episode, Peter and Paul break down how the making of Man Finds Tape, including how they approached the cinematic language of using a multitude of different types of cameras and filmmaking styles to achieve their signature blend of found footage and cinematic surrealism. On today's episode of The Nick Taylor Horror Show, here, without further ado, are Peter Hall and Paul Gandersman.Key TakeawaysTake what your actors give you.Paul and Peter discuss a situation where their actors came to a character meeting so well prepared that they as directors were able to sit back and let the actors figure out all of the backstory themselves. The actors braistormed without their involvement for about an hour and did a ton of heavy lifting. More egotistical directors would have stepped in and asserted themselves but Paul and Peter had the good sense to realize that their actors were locked into their characters to such a high degree and they let them drive. When this happens it's magic, but so many people ruin it by being precious. This is a two part lesson, one, hire actors who can also be collaborators and 2, when they start figuring things out on their own, give them ownership and get the fuck out of their way.Target personal fears, over generic scares.Peter and Paul mentioned a term I'd never heard before, trypophobia which is an intense, irrational fear or disgust triggered by looking at clusters of small holes, bumps, or intricate, repetitive patterns. They integrated this fear and unease into their body horror effects and even though I didn't have this phobia before, I think I might it after watching this movie. There's something very effective about tapping into irrational and obscure fears because they're more common than you think. Human beings have all kinds of evolutionary neurosis that you can explore and exploit as a filmmaker to give your movies a surgical level of unease. This is a fascinating and fertile ground to harvest and worth studying.Tone and vibe over exposition.The movie has a masterfully constructed tone of dread that is very singular to Man Finds Tape. Constructing a frequency for your movie that's this sharp and affecting is one of the most challenging aspects of filmmaking, and it's on full display here. Peter and Paul discussed how when they were editing the movie, they focused more on the feeling the movie would evoke, rather than getting bogged down in plot specifics or exposition. Ultimately, your audience will reflect on how the movie made them feel instead of what the plot revealed. David Lynch is a master of doing this; evoking feeling without having much concern for exposition.Show NotesMovies MentionedMan Finds TapeLake MungoThe Blair Witch ProjectV/H/SShelby OaksDream EaterStrange Harvest28 Years LaterSomething in the...

In this episode of Made of More, host Chris Erdmann sits down with Christopher "Toph" Villa to explore his diverse entrepreneurial journey—from the corporate floors of Nordstrom to a multimillion-dollar loss in the shoe industry, and eventually to a successful exit in sports franchising. Now leading his new venture, Dream DADU, Villa shares how he is tackling the housing affordability crisis in the Pacific Northwest by designing high-quality Detached Accessory Dwelling Units (DADUs) that help families age in place and build generational wealth. The conversation delves into the personal lessons Villa learned along the way, emphasizing the importance of prioritizing passion over money, the value of vulnerability in leadership, and the power of embracing one's authentic self in both business and life. About the show: Made of More is a radio show / podcast that shares the powerful, personal stories behind the entrepreneurs of the greater Seattle area and beyond, individuals who have built meaningful businesses and experiences not just to better their own lives, but to positively impact their communities, families, and the world around them. This show isn't just about what they've built – it's also about who they are as people. We explore their journeys of inspiration, adversity, risk, and resilience. We dig into the pivotal moments, the challenges that shaped them, and the drive that pushed them to step outside the box and do something different. These are people who are made of more. And so are our listeners. Each episode is an invitation to connect more deeply; not only with the story, but with the mission behind each business. Whether it inspires you to chase a dream, break your own mold, or simply experience and support these ventures in a way that speaks to you, Made of More reminds us that greatness often begins with a story worth telling.

Let's start 2026 off right with a comic that's raising awareness and money for a worthy cause: our freedom from fascism here in the US. JM Brandt is a comics creator, writer, and curator currently promoting his new Kickstarter for the anthology Horror Not Hate which is live now. It's a scary time and JM is fighting back with comics by building solidarity amongst his peers to bring us an anthology full of incredible art and stories based around resisting the current regime plaguing the USA and the world at large. JM sheds light on the charitable goals of the anthology along with his creative process in this interview. It's inspiring and there's hope it'll inspire you to back the Kickstarter and join the growing resistance. You can check out the Kickstarter and JM's other work below.

He is a cognitive scientist whose research focuses on revealing the psychological and neural processes underlying visual perception, memory, and consciousness. He is the author of Constructing Experience: Expectation and Attention in Perception. In this episode, we focus on Constructing Experience. We talk about the brain as a prediction machine, and the generative model. We go through consciousness, perception, attention, and whether expectation can shape perception. We discuss whether attention is necessary for all kinds of conscious experiences. Finally, we talk about implications of this kind of research, including implications for scientific theories of consciousness, and clinical implications, in terms of how we understand hallucinations and schizophrenia.--A HUGE THANK YOU TO MY PATRONS/SUPPORTERS: PER HELGE LARSEN, JERRY MULLER, BERNARDO SEIXAS, ADAM KESSEL, MATTHEW WHITINGBIRD, ARNAUD WOLFF, TIM HOLLOSY, HENRIK AHLENIUS, ROBERT WINDHAGER, RUI INACIO, ZOOP, MARCO NEVES, COLIN HOLBROOK, PHIL KAVANAGH, SAMUEL ANDREEFF, FRANCIS FORDE, TIAGO NUNES, FERGAL CUSSEN, HAL HERZOG, NUNO MACHADO, JONATHAN LEIBRANT, JOÃO LINHARES, STANTON T, SAMUEL CORREA, ERIK HAINES, MARK SMITH, JOÃO EIRA, TOM HUMMEL, SARDUS FRANCE, DAVID SLOAN WILSON, YACILA DEZA-ARAUJO, ROMAIN ROCH, DIEGO LONDOÑO CORREA, YANICK PUNTER, CHARLOTTE BLEASE, NICOLE BARBARO, ADAM HUNT, PAWEL OSTASZEWSKI, NELLEKE BAK, GUY MADISON, GARY G HELLMANN, SAIMA AFZAL, ADRIAN JAEGGI, PAULO TOLENTINO, JOÃO BARBOSA, JULIAN PRICE, HEDIN BRØNNER, DOUGLAS FRY, FRANCA BORTOLOTTI, GABRIEL PONS CORTÈS, URSULA LITZCKE, SCOTT, ZACHARY FISH, TIM DUFFY, SUNNY SMITH, JON WISMAN, WILLIAM BUCKNER, PAUL-GEORGE ARNAUD, LUKE GLOWACKI, GEORGIOS THEOPHANOUS, CHRIS WILLIAMSON, PETER WOLOSZYN, DAVID WILLIAMS, DIOGO COSTA, ALEX CHAU, AMAURI MARTÍNEZ, CORALIE CHEVALLIER, BANGALORE ATHEISTS, LARRY D.

Mike Palmer returns to the Thanksgiving table to serve up a side of applied neuroscience. Powered by the recently released Gemini 3, he examines the "gratitude cocktail," a potent neurochemical mix of dopamine, serotonin, and oxytocin that mimics the effects of antidepressants and strengthens social bonds. Beyond the chemistry, Mike explores the psychological framework of The Gap and the Gain by Dan Sullivan and Dr. Benjamin Hardy. He explains how measuring progress against an ideal future creates unhappiness, while measuring against the past generates resilience and satisfaction. The conversation shifts from theory to practice, detailing why gratitude stories are more effective than rote lists and how specific "Notice, Think, Feel, Do" protocols rewire the brain. Mike also debunks the tryptophan myth, explaining how carbohydrates and compelling narratives—like football—actually drive the post-meal nap. Finally, he reflects on the origins of Trending in Education, shares updates on the new Trending in Higher Ed feed, and previews upcoming live events from SXSW EDU to Alexandria, Virginia. Key Takeaways The Gratitude Cocktail: Gratitude activates the brain's reward centers. Dopamine drives motivation, serotonin stabilizes mood similar to SSRIs, and oxytocin fosters trust and bonding. Mindset Shift: "Gap thinking" focuses on the distance between your actual self and an unreachable ideal, leading to burnout. "Gain thinking" measures your actual self against your past self, highlighting progress and abundance. Stories Over Lists: Rote gratitude lists often lead to mechanical habituation. Constructing gratitude narratives creates stronger neural pathways and emotional connections. The Science of the Nap: It isn't just the turkey. Tryptophan is a precursor to serotonin and melatonin, but the heavy carbohydrate load and the relief of social bonding are the real drivers of sleepiness. Podcast Expansion: Trending in Education is expanding its network with a dedicated Trending in Higher Ed feed to allow listeners to dive deeper into specific verticals. Why You Should Listen This episode moves beyond the platitudes of "giving thanks" to reveal the biological mechanisms that make gratitude a high-performance tool. If you find yourself doomscrolling or fixating on what you haven't achieved, the "Gap and The Gain" framework offers a practical method to reset your cognitive baseline. Mike connects these mental models to tangible brain health, offering a compelling argument for why gratitude is essential fuel for resilience and innovation.

Questions, suggestions, or feedback? Send us a message!Our guest this week is Joscha Bach. He is a German cognitive scientist, artificial-intelligence researcher and philosopher of mind who consistently bridges the gap between what human intelligence is and what machines could become. He has an MA in computer science and a PhD in cognitive science. Over the course of his career he has held research positions at institutions such as the MIT Media Lab and the Harvard Program for Evolutionary Dynamics.Bach is best known for his work on computational models of human-like cognition: he developed the cognitive architecture called “MicroPsi”, exploring how perception, motivation, emotion and decision-making interact in autonomous agents. He is the author of Principles of Synthetic Intelligence. In addition to his academic output, he has taken roles in applied AI research and strategy, bringing theoretical insight into real-world settings.What sets his approach apart is his deeply integrative mindset: he treats intelligence not just as surface behaviour or pattern-recognition, but as the emergent result of rich internal models of the world and self. His philosophical lens brings questions of consciousness, free will and meaning into the technical domain, framing AI and cognition as part of a broader inquiry into what it means to think, feel and act.We talk about:We live in a story not in the physical worldConsciousness does not depend on the substrateCan you learn reality by just watching YTAlternative approaches to building AIIntuition is the part of your mind you cannot yet reflectThe constraint to becoming superhuman only applies to humansThere is no obligation to unite your many selvesThis episode will require your full focus.

They extract a massive amount of wealth from the American public yearly. Around $2 trillion, I think. Then, they used the US Treasury payment system to disburse over 100 billion/year to their NGOs around the world to launder that money to themselves. This was probably one of the BIGGEST revenue streams they had. And it was the first one Trump and the DOGE boys cut earlier this year.

For at least two centuries, ideas of international relations and grand strategy have been premised on the notion of “great powers.” These were mighty states uniquely able to exert their influence through overwhelming military force. In the words of friend of the podcast Leopold von Ranke, a great power was one who could “maintain itself against all others, even when they are united”—but my guest, Phillips Payson O'Brien, argues that this definition is ahistorical nonsense.Indeed “great power” he says, has always been a tautology. Nor has it been helpful or accurate to focus who has the biggest armies. And dreaming of decisive battle has blinded us to what truly determines victory: the capacity to mobilize and sustain industrial power, logistics, technology, and global reach.In his new book War and Power: Who Wins Wars and Why, O'Brien dismantles some popular myths of military and diplomatic history and replaces them with a far more dynamic picture—one that redefines how states fight, how they win, and how we should understand power itself in the twenty-first century.For this episode's show notes, and other resources, go to the Historically Thinking SubstackChapters & Timestamps00:28 – Introduction: Challenging the Great Power Myth03:25 – The Persistence of Short War Myths08:22 – The Political Nature of Warfare14:06 – Power Rightly Understood: Economic and Technological Strength20:59 – Society, Structure, and the British-American Power Transition27:36 – Constructing and Regenerating Military Forces46:16 – The Importance of Strong Alliances39:23 – Understanding War: Beyond Battles and Single Weapons45:16 – Human Elements: Leadership, Training, and Morale49:54 – Technological Adaptation: From WWI Aircraft to Modern Drones57:30 – Applied History and the Problem of Transparency57:52 – Outro / Credits

We think a lot about how people make us feel, but what about the places we spend our time in? In this episode, we explore how architecture and design influence our physical and mental well-being, from hospitals and workplaces to the spaces we move through every day.Our guest, Tye Farrow, is a world-renowned architect and pioneer at the intersection of neuroscience and design. His new book, Constructing Health: How the Built Environment Enhances Your Mind's Health, reveals how buildings can either harm or heal us.We talk with Tye about salutogenic design, the importance of coherence, and why there's no such thing as a neutral space. Plus we explore how nature and biophilic design play a key role in creating environments that give health rather than take it away. If you've ever wondered why some spaces make you feel alive while others drain you, this conversation will change the way you see the built environment.Show NotesConstructing Health: How the Built Environment Enhances Your Mind's HealthFarrow PartnersFarrow Partners Knowledge Hub | Enriched EnvironmentsFarrow Partners Knowledge Hub | Embreathment The 14 Patterns of Biophilic Design Image Credit:  Farrow Partners Architects, Photographer Tom ArbanKeywords: architecture, neuroscience, biophilic design, salutogenic design, coherence, built environment, health and wellness, environmental psychology, design for healing, nature and design, sustainable architecture, mental health, spatial design, human-centered design, Tye Farrow, Constructing Health, healthy buildings, urban design, Serenbe, podcast, wellbeing, placemakingBiophilic Solutions is available wherever you get podcasts.

Offering a fresh comparative lens, The Postcolonial Bildungsroman: Narratives of Youth, Representational Politics, and Aesthetic Reinventions (U Alberta Press, 2025) demonstrates how postcolonial writers have transformed the Bildungsroman from an eighteenth-century European genre meant to express local concerns around childhood development into one of the most cosmopolitan literary mediums for communicating overlapping concerns about global modernity. If literature is the crucial site where people find the language to convey their social experiences, this book reveals how the Bildungsroman now functions in the global world of letters to capture and bear witness to young people's varied interactions and responses to both local and global forces enveloping and shaping their lives. Chapters explore identity, sexuality, human rights, the climate crisis, neoliberal globalization, and a host of other issues in work from a wide range of postcolonial locations across Asia, Europe, Africa, the Americas, Australia, and New Zealand. Forging productive scholarly engagements between narratology and genre theory, the volume documents the aesthetic and thematic shifts that have accompanied the Bildungsroman in the past two centuries, particularly in the context of anticolonial, liberationist, and self-determination struggles from the mid-twentieth century onwards in the global south. With a very diverse array of essays from multiple continents, The Postcolonial Bildungsroman makes a crucial intervention to the existing scholarship on this influential genre and a unique contribution to the study of world literature.

In what was originally intended to be a structured discussion on “The Ten Steps to Constructing the Secret Sexual Basement,” this episode took an unexpected and deeply personal turn. Instead, I'm joined by Dr. Omar Minwalla for a raw, unfiltered conversation that traces the arc of our individual and shared professional journeys.What unfolds is a rare, intimate glimpse into the foundation of a long-standing friendship - one built on mutual respect, hard truths, and a shared commitment to integrity, even when it's uncomfortable or controversial. We talk openly about what it means to stay committed to telling the truth, to each other and to the work, despite pushback or disagreement.This was never meant to be a public conversation - but by the end, we both felt that what emerged was too meaningful not to share. I believe listeners will find resonance, insight, and maybe even a sense of companionship and loyalty in the honesty of this exchange.Dr. Minwalla will be back soon and hopefully next time we'll get to the secret basement. Until then, this is something different… and maybe more important.Want to connect with us? Schedule your free 15-minute call here.
