In this episode of Reckoning, historian Andrew Wehrman, author of Contagion of Liberty, explores how smallpox and inoculation shaped the American founding—and ignited some of the earliest debates over liberty, risk, and public health.Long before COVID-19, Americans wrestled with questions of bodily autonomy, religious belief, communal obligation, and government authority, all in the shadow of a deadly disease and without modern medical knowledge. From local resistance to inoculation to George Washington's controversial decision to mandate it in the Continental Army, this conversation places early American public health in its full moral and political context.By looking closely at how Americans responded to smallpox, this episode shows why vaccine controversy is not a modern anomaly—but a recurring feature of American life—and what our past can (and cannot) teach us about navigating public health crises today.

Broadcasting live from the O'Leary Ventures boardroom at The Hive in Grand Forks, Scott Hennen hosts a wide-ranging Town Hall. U.S. Senator Kevin Cramer joins the program from Washington D.C. to pull back the curtain on the "negotiation fest" surrounding the government shutdown and why Democrats may have trapped themselves by targeting DHS funding. The dialogue shifts to a fiery but civil debate with North Dakota State Senator Tim Mathern regarding federal overreach and the "Minnesota Contagion." Later, we explore the cutting edge of history and technology with an update on the Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library's realistic AI hologram and a sit-down with military vet turned tech entrepreneur JC Van Leer on the future of "one-way" drone defense. Standout Moments & Timestamps [00:02:03] The DHS "Horrible Box" Senator Kevin Cramer explains why Democrats' decision to target ICE and DHS funding in the appropriations battle is a "special kind of stupid," as a shutdown would primarily impact Democratic priorities like FEMA and TSA. [00:15:34] The 10th Amendment Debate State Senator Tim Mathern argues that federal ICE actions in Minnesota constitute a violation of states' rights, comparing the federal overreach to the central governments of China and Russia. [00:19:33] "Macro vs. Micro" Ethics A tense exchange occurs as Senator Mathern suggests individuals have a "right to resist arrest," while Scott and Kevin challenge the morality of interfering with law enforcement. [00:23:40] The Don Lemon Arrest The crew reacts to the breaking news of Don Lemon's arrest at a Minneapolis church for allegedly violating the FACE Act, debating the media's role in local unrest. [00:26:34] Talking Back to TR Matt Briney reveals that the new Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library will feature a realistic, AI-driven hologram of TR that can hold personal conversations with visitors at his cabinet table. [00:28:44] Radio Graffiti: "The Wet Sponge" A caller roasts political dodging, stating that expecting a straight answer from a politician is "like squeezing a wet sponge and wondering why you're not getting orange juice." [00:30:44] HCMC's Financial Crisis A live look at the 100 job cuts at Hennepin County Medical Center, leading to a debate on whether state-level fraud has drained resources for essential public healthcare. [00:39:00] Drone Warfare in Grand Forks Entrepreneur JC Van Leer shares his transition from flying Blackhawks to developing NDA-compliant, "one-way" drones designed to keep the U.S. ahead of China in Group 1 and Group 2 technology.

I saw a reel earlier that made me notice how burnout spreads. An entrepreneurial self-help influencer told followers to demand more power, money, and visibility for themselves. You may be familiar with this flavour of message… “How dare you keep your impact hidden?” they said, “given the state of things right now.” They criticised viewers, demanding that they stop letting fear of what others think rule them. “Start the business, write the book, and share it with a world that needs to encounter it.” There is nothing intrinsically wrong with the underlying sentiment. But I felt troubled by the burnout energy evident in the speaker. I watched with the sound off at first, which intensified the impact of their eyes and hand gestures on my nervous system. There was a sense of panic and hype, which felt completely at odds with what is required for deep courage to meet the very real need being spoken about. I didn't feel inspired or grounded in creative motivation. Instead, I was overcome by frenetic urgency and the indiscriminate demand to do more, driven by competition and fear. Things we already have in abundance. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CWf-FGZqIyE What Burnout Energy Pushes Us Toward There are enough people waving their arms and shouting demands about what we should be doing, using, and spending our finite resources on. What we need is space to slow down, take a breath, and listen deeply to that still, quiet voice within. This inner voice shows us what matters and why. Then we can choose how we bring it all to life. We need leaders who lead from that place, so we might be infused with and infected by the gentleness required to move out of that evident stuckness. That stuckness causes wheels to spin in the cycle of hurry, rush, and reactive firefighting mode. What Does Safety Make Possible? The word “safe” is used a lot today. To some degree, it has become diluted, making it difficult to define. But it's worth exploring because it sits at the heart of this issue. Maybe we have a desire to change something about ourselves, our lives, or the world. Or perhaps we've created, or are creating, something that could make a meaningful difference to other people. We now consider another buzzword of our times: vulnerability. It can feel vulnerable to be honest about what we want in life and to share what matters to us with those who matter to us. It can be scary to admit what we care about and what burns within us. That's because it can disrupt the status quo and challenge the image people have of us. It's vulnerable because we cannot be certain how people will react. Vulnerability Is More Than a Mindset Likewise, it may leave us genuinely physically vulnerable if we choose to stand up for what we believe is right, for example, through art or activism. This vulnerability isn't imagined. It's not simply an issue of mindset, limiting beliefs to overcome, or a conditioned cultural message we just need to override with reframe hacks. We know there are real-world threats out there. What struck me about the reel was that it failed to provide the support needed to underpin its demands. In fact, it undermined the courage, conviction, and energy required to speak up in a world that might be unreceptive or even hostile to what we have to say. The finger-wagging shame that comes from an influencer demanding we do more because it's cruel to hide from people who need to see us, however well-intentioned, will ultimately crumble and fold under its own weight. As a result, it creates the very passivity and inaction it warns against. Safety isn’t about comfort or avoidance. It’s the internal condition that enables honest reflection, creative movement, and sustained courage. This isn’t about mindset or thinking. It starts with the context of the stories we swim in, the supportive structures beneath us, and the material conditions that sustain life. Safety is Also Contagious One of the things I have consistently heard from people over the years who have connected with what I do, especially in The Haven and through the Serenity Island course, is the word safety. I'm always curious about what it means to those who use it, because it's not something I think about explicitly. When I started sharing The Return to Serenity Island at the start of 2021, I received messages from people that put words to the experience: “Oh my word, it is incredible! A really unique mixture of sound and sensory experience, coaching, imaginative play and informal, companionable talks. I'm absolutely hooked. I just did a module and cried like a baby because I felt so safe and seen. It is really special. That kind of cry you do when you're a kid, not because you're afraid anymore, but because you've been PICKED UP, and the relief just comes flooding out.” – Josie This spoke of safety not as the opposite of courage, but as the cornerstone around which courageous action can be sustained. A cornerstone we can return to and draw from without conditions on our intrinsic worth as humans. Safety, then, is feeling held as you are, without expectation or demand to prove yourself or fight for a sense of value. A Step Back From Burnout Energy This is a key value that underpins The Return to Serenity Island. It was a response to a feeling I had while doing my old year-end practice. I needed something that broke with the message of self-optimisation, personal productivity, and motivational resources, which, with an emphasis on striving, adding, and growing simply because it's what you're “supposed” to do, carried a creeping burnout energy. Tuula wrote, “Serenity Island has been the most powerful and lovely thing I have ever experienced. Andy has created an amazing adventure, cleverly weaving together incredibly beautiful soundscapes and deeply touching story narrative, which ignites your imagination, activates all senses and sends you on a journey of a lifetime on this island of your wildest dreams. It is playful and also a very useful creative project, which continues to evolve and grow with me. This Island work and its ripple effects have sneaked quietly and effectively into so many areas of my life already. I could not have found more effective and gentle coaching than with Andy.” The course is not something that comes with easy-to-market promises and packaged outcomes that everyone walks away with in the same way. Everyone who goes through it seems to encounter it from a different angle. But there is a common denominator of safety, which underpins everyone's response to it. Safety as a foundation for reflection, observation, and planning. A way to let what sits within us speak, and to give ourselves the best chance of hearing it. And as such, it's not a way to withdraw from reality. Instead, it helps us locate and root ourselves more firmly within it, so we can find strength, courage, and clarity about who we are, what we want to tend to and nurture, and how we will stand in the face of the forces that may take us away from ourselves. An Invitation to Serenity Island The Return to Serenity Island is a self-paced guided voyage with optional Zoom “Picnics”. These provide us with time and space for further reflection, support, and in-person connection along the way. This is a perfect time to grab a passport if this stuff feels right for you. The Serenity Island Passport gives you access to all materials and picnics for the next 12 months. And speaking of safety, I've made the course available on a choose-your-own-price basis. I know many people are navigating changing financial circumstances, and I truly mean it when I say: choose the amount that feels right for you. No minimum, no need to explain or justify your choice. I just want you there if you feel the pull. Arriving Through The Fog | A Narrated Soundscape It's much easier to show than describe, so I'll share the first of these six pieces that supplement the course materials. “Arriving through the fog soundscape is the most brilliant thing I have witnessed as a gateway into myself. If I stopped here, at the harbour to the Island, it would already be worth it for me. Thank you for this. It's filled with magic.” – Zoie https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DSBXlLgPuTQ Welcome home!

After a mysterious wave of tics and twitches swept through a small-town high school in New York, documentary podcaster Dan Taberski set out to investigate what was really happening. Drawing on extensive research and intimate interviews with the people involved, he explores the roots of mass hysteria — and what it reveals about the line between illness and belonging. What happens when the very thing that makes us sick ... is also what connects us?After the talk, Shoshana interviews Dan on how his research into the mysterious Havana Syndrome leads to his unearthing of a similar mass hysteria in Le Roy, New York. They also discuss how storytelling can reshape discourse surrounding medicine and what happens when the person experiencing an illness feels unheard and unsupported by the very medical professionals supposed to care for them?For the full text transcript, visit go.ted.com/BHTranscripts Hosted on Acast.

Throughout his storied career, the legendary Steven Soderbergh has directed a wide array of highly acclaimed films and/or hits (Out of Sight, Ocean's 11, Magic Mike, Black Bag, Logan Lucky, Contagion, Sex, Lies, & Videotape) and THIS is the film which earned him his only Oscar for Best Director in 2000.  This was actually one of two films (the other being Erin Brockovich) which he was nominated for in 2000 which turned out to be a TRULY stellar year for him!  It's a sprawling story about the American "War on Drugs" during the late '90's, focusing on several different characters on different sides of the law and various levels of the drug trade including two DEA agents (Don Cheadle, Luis Guzman), a judge who has just been appointed the National Drug Czar (Michael Douglas), the wife (Catherine Zeta-Jones) of a suspected drug dealer (Steven Bauer), that couple's conniving attorney (Dennis Quaid), a teenager (Erika Christiansen) who becomes addicted to crack, and one conflicted Mexican cop (Benicio Del Toro who won an Oscar for his performance).  It's a complex story delving into a lot of moral grey areas and it's a testament to all of the talent involved (including Oscar-winning writer Stephen Gaghan) that this film was not only highly acclaimed but also a word-of-mouth blockbuster with audiences at the time of release.  However twenty-five years later, it is not often mentioned by many as among Soderbergh's best....so how does this ambitious ensemble hold up?  Let's find out if any one gets away clean.....Host: Geoff GershonEdited By Ella GershonProducer: Marlene GershonSend us a textSupport the showhttps://livingforthecinema.com/Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/Living-for-the-Cinema-Podcast-101167838847578Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/livingforthecinema/Letterboxd:https://letterboxd.com/Living4Cinema/

Beer cans with the bride and groom's faces on them, a dress that just HAD to be Aussie, and a dog in a dress... Yes, we're talking about Albo's wedding, and the problem with marrying the Prime Minister. Also, what does the winner of the TikTok Awards — a dad of four who posts pranks and skits with his kids online — tell us about the different standards for the way men and woman 'sharent'? And everyone's talking about an Oprah Winfrey show episode, which is extremely 2011, about family estrangement, and the 'contagion' of going 'No Contact' with your family. Only problem is... Are all these boundaries kind of Oprah's fault? Plus, why Robert Irwin has achieved world domination by being... nice. Holly, Amelia and Jessie get into it. AND into some Mamamia merch.

Mark Thornton dissects “contagion” hype and argues it's not a market pathology. He shows why, in a free market, failures reallocate customers, labor, and capital to better firms rather than spread panic. Contagion appears only when government links balance sheets and distorts prices. Mark traces how credit booms set up busts, and why even the Fed now sits upside-down, while homeowners are “rate-locked” and supply is frozen. The takeaway: politicians and central bankers invoke "contagion" to demand more power and money, while their interventions cause the very fragility they decry.See also "Fight Inflation Now" (Minor Issues, episode 72): Mises.org/MI_72Be sure to follow Minor Issues at https://Mises.org/MinorIssues

Disease is a social issue and not just a medical one. This is the central tenet underlying The Kiss of Death: Contagion, Contamination, and Folklore (Utah State University Press 2019) by Andrea Kitta, Associate Professor in the English department at East Carolina University, examines the discourses and metaphors of contagion and contamination in vernacular beliefs and practices across a number of media and forms. Using ethnographic, media, and narrative analysis, chapters discuss the changing representations of vampires and zombies in popular culture, the online discussions of Slenderman in relation to adolescent experiences of bullying, the misogyny embedded in legends about kisses that kill, and the racialized nature of patient-zero narratives that surrounding the spread of things like ebola, and the ways in which the HPV vaccine to homophobia. Issues like tellability and the stigmatized vernacular loom large throughout. Although folklorists will already recognize the social importance of vernacular narrative and belief, The Kiss of Death also shows how medical professionals have often failed to take vernacular forms into account. Through attention to narrative and vernacular belief, folklorists can model new forms of engaging with public health professionals and local communities.

You've heard it your whole life: "Don't get too close, you'll catch a cold." But what if that's not how sickness works at all? What if health isn't about dodging germs, but about creating an environment your body actually feels safe in? Today, I'm sitting down with Daniel Roytas, author of Can You Catch a Cold? and a natural medicine practitioner who's challenging one of the biggest medical assumptions of our time—the idea of contagion itself. We're talking about what the research really shows about colds and flu, why sick people don't necessarily make healthy people sick, and how your environment, your emotions, and your beliefs play a far bigger role in healing than you've ever been told.  This isn't about fear. It's about freedom- from false narratives, from medical myths, and from the belief that your body is broken. If you're ready to question the story you were raised with and see illness through a completely new lens, this conversation will change the way you think about your health, your body, and your power to heal. 

A House of Dynamite is a movie designed to generate dread, but do we need something else right now, a picture that points to solutions instead? This question is asked in today's episode as Gareth Higgins and Jett Loe discuss the current political situation in the U.S., A House of Dynamite as a lament and wonder what to do if a train is heading towards us at full speed.

Pills for every ill. Viruses that we must inoculate ourselves against. Treating the body as a machine. This is the allopathic model of medicine and it completely inverts and subverts who we are as conscious human beings. Today, Mark Gober, the author of the "Upside Down" series of books, busts many modern medical myths. He tackles many of our assumptions about contagion, who we are as human beings, and how we heal.

Send us a textEnergy can be borrowed, entangled, or reclaimed - and today we make that map simple. I share life updates from homeschooling a high-energy kindergartener to launching a new mentorship, then dive into the heart of the work: what cords are, how soul pieces scatter through over-bonding, and why you might be thinking thoughts that don't belong to you. I break down the three major cord types, the real impact they have on your daily vitality, and the integration process that follows deep clearing so you can stabilize instead of snapping back into old patterns.I also explore the body as feedback. I unpack recent dental and gum healing and the belief layer beneath it: feeling “bad at breaking down ideas.” Teeth mirror how we process complexity; gums mirror the foundation that holds it. When you pair practical care with energetic work—chunking big ideas, templating, and naming the core belief—symptoms and overwhelm can both shift. Add in protection tools for emotion and thought, and you can feel a clean signal for the first time in a while, especially during a focused group clearing window.There's an honest look at growth discomfort too—the stretchy, not-quite-in-your-skin feeling that comes when your expansion outruns your nervous system. Instead of resisting, we practice neutralizing judgment and choosing grounded action. I share how free will shapes healing, and why sovereignty—not rescue—is the path. If you're ready to stop carrying everyone else's energy, reclaim your focus, and feel your own emotions again, this conversation offers practical steps, clear definitions, and an invitation.Join our Halloween group clearing here on October 29 at 11:30 a.m. PST for cord removal, contagion clearing, and protection tools. Last mentorship spot here. Support the showJoin Unveiled - The Membership here.

Captain Picard visits his friend, he dies, but the jokes just keep on coming. Wait what?! That's actually a thing that happens in the Star Trek - The Next Generation episode "Contagion" (s2e11). Small spoiler, the divas actually liked this episode but it clearly had some problems, which we assume is due to the season 2 production rush.

In this solo episode, we're diving into one of our all-time favourite Human Design topics: The Cross of Incarnation. This is the part of your chart that holds the frequency your soul came here to be, in your work, your relationships, your presence, your everyday way of moving through life. And yet, it's also one of the most overlooked and misunderstood pieces in the system.   We're breaking down what your Incarnation Cross actually is (and what it isn't), why it has nothing to do with picking the right career, and how it can give you that big sigh of relief when you realize you're already living your purpose.    We also share our own Incarnation Crosses (RAX of The Sphinx + RAX of Contagion), how they've shaped our friendship and roles in DayLuna, and why this teaching is such a core part of our new course, Activate Your Golden Purpose. This one's for anyone who's ever asked: “What am I really here to do?” Or better yet, “Who am I here to be?”   Key Takeaways: The difference between life purpose and career and why it's so empowering to separate them. How knowing your Incarnation Cross can calm social anxiety and dissolve comparison. How the Cross of Incarnation is created from your Sun and Earth gates. Why your Incarnation Cross isn't about what you do, but the frequency you're here to be. How this energy shows up in your daily life, your relationships, and even your voice. Dana and Shayna's personal experiences with their Incarnation Crosses. Why this teaching is central to the Activate Your Golden Purpose course.     Activate Your Golden Purpose Online Course Doors are open August 8-18!   FREE Transits & The Harmonic Gate Mini-Course FREE Human Design Readings 101 Masterclass   Join Your Human Design Besties Book a Reading With Us Here!   EXPLORE LUNYA Use code: DAYLUNA for 15% off   Human Design Chart Software: BodygraphChart.com Use code: DAYLUNA for 50% off your first 12 months!   Get our book: Your Human Design!

After a mysterious wave of tics and twitches swept through a small-town high school in New York, documentary podcaster Dan Taberski set out to investigate what was really happening. Drawing on extensive research and intimate interviews with the people involved, he explores the roots of mass hysteria — and what it reveals about the line between illness and belonging. What happens when the very thing that makes us sick ... is also what connects us?After the talk, Shoshana interviews Dan on how his research into the mysterious Havana Syndrome leads to his unearthing of a similar mass hysteria in Le Roy, New York. They also discuss how storytelling can reshape discourse surrounding medicine and what happens when the person experiencing an illness feels unheard and unsupported by the very medical professionals supposed to care for them?For a chance to give your own TED Talk, fill out the Idea Search Application: ted.com/ideasearch.

The globalists always telegraph their plans ahead of time, so it's important to pay close attention to what they are saying. In 2023, Bill Gates predicted the next global pandemic for 2025. In 2024, the National Blueprint for Biodefense predicted the pandemic would start on July 4, 2025, and would be highly deadly to people and animals. Globalists have also predicted that the Iranians would assassinate Trump. Curtis explains how such “predictions” are merely projections of what they hope to accomplish through False Flag events.
