„Ich bin halt so.“ „Mit meiner Diagnose kann ich das eh nicht.“ „Mein ADHS/Borderline blockiert mich einfach.“Schluss mit den Lügen. Schluss mit den Ausreden. In dieser unzensierten und hochgradig provokanten 60-Minuten-Episode legt Sven, dein Peer und systemischer Coach, die Maske deines inneren Saboteurs radikal offen.Die nackte, neurobiologische Wahrheit ist: Wenn du unter chronischer emotionaler Fehlbelastung leidest, benutzt dein Gehirn den nächsten emotionalen Crash, den heftigen Streit oder die bleierne Lähmung auf dem Sofa als billige Tankstelle. Dein System ist schlichtweg süchtig nach dem eigenen Drama.Sven teilt in dieser Folge ungeschönt seine eigene Geschichte und erklärt dir die harten wissenschaftlichen Fakten hinter der Cortisol-Falle: Warum ein chronischer Dopamin-Mangel dein Gehirn dazu zwingt, künstliche Krisen zu inszenieren, um überhaupt Energie zu erzeugen – und wie du durch diese unbewussten Sabotage-Muster deine eigene Gehirnstruktur physisch vergiftest.Diese Folge nimmt dir deine Schuld – aber sie nimmt dir ab heute auch jede Ausrede. Werd vom Opfer deiner Emotionen zum echten CEO deines eigenen Nervensystems.Hardware runterfahren, Software neu programmieren. Kopfhörer rein – wir gehen rein!DAS ERWARTET DICH IN DIESEM 60-MINUTEN-BRETT:Die Hormon-Tankstelle: Wie dein Gehirn Adrenalin & Cortisol als Ersatz für fehlendes Dopamin missbraucht.Svens Spiegel: Wie der Coach seine eigene unbewusste Sucht nach dem Schmerz entlarvt und durchbrochen hat.Die Biologie der Selbstvergiftung: Was chronischer Stress (Hypometabolismus) mit deinem präfrontalen Cortex macht.Der sekundäre Gewinn: Vor welcher echten Verantwortung dich deine Diagnose unbewusst schützt.Der Ausweg: Wie du mit Physical First und linguistischer Dissoziation die biologische Führung zurückholst.

Episode 29 of Guardians of M365 Governance: Christian Buckley, Joy Apple, and Ragnar go off-script. No guest this month, just three MVPs working through a laundry list of the governance topics keeping them up at night, from Agent 365 and shadow AI to the real question underneath it all: what does it mean to be the human in the loop?In this episode we get into:00:59 The hottest news in the M365 governance space02:00 Lessons from Agent 365 customer workshops (delivered in Spanish!)03:25 What resonates: agent inventory and classification across Microsoft, third-party, and homegrown agents03:52 Shadow AI: OpenClaw, Cortex, Bedrock and why "observe or block" is the only lever today05:04 Don't be the department of "no": have the conversation first06:50 Coming soon to shadow AI discovery: Claude Code CLI, Codex CLI, Cursor, Llama and more07:19 Multi-model reality: Copilot, Grok, Claude and where each fits08:35 Mike Gennady's agent factory, nightly agent conferences, and #ClawPilot10:08 Microsoft Build preview and OpenClaw + Teams / Copilot integration11:05 New Agent 365 registry sync: Amazon Bedrock, Google Vertex AI, Databricks Genie, Salesforce Agentforce15:16 Cloud migration vs. AI: the governance parallels and the need for foundational cleanup18:00 The risk to Microsoft's strategy: enterprise vs. the developer space20:28 Licensing changes, Agent 365 pricing, and the true (unknown) cost of AI22:45 Why automating away junior roles handicaps your future talent pipeline24:01 Retrieval, semi-autonomous, and autonomous agents, and why nobody wants full autonomy yet25:33 Human in the loop on multiple levels: content cleanup, the publishing quality gate, and workflow escalation28:50 100 test cases for Power Platform alone: never underestimate the testing effort29:31 Productivity vs. effectiveness: redefining how humans work with AI31:17 AI-assisted writing done right: a 47-page doc drafted by AI, then days of human verification35:28 Handwriting vs. typing, stream-of-consciousness drafting, and thinking through the words36:36 Why the human mind can't be replicated, and Hegel on master and horse39:28 Finding your USP as a human in the loop, a daily new discoveryThe big takeaway: the discussion of the next two to three years won't be about productivity. It will be about effectiveness, and resetting the standard for what it means to keep humans meaningfully in the loop. Govern your agents as helpers, never the other way around.Guardians of M365 Governance is a monthly webcast dedicated to everything governance in the Microsoft 365 ecosystem.

This episode draws on experimental and review literature on mirror-gazing, strange-face illusions, anomalous self-experience, dissociation, agency, face pareidolia, and face-distortion disorders, especially the work of Giovanni B. Caputo, Caputo/Lynn/Houran, Mash et al., Bregman-Hai and Soffer-Dudek, Derome et al., Palmer and Clifford, and Blom et al. Historical and occult context comes from research on catoptromancy, John Dee's angelic scrying records, the British Museum's “Dr Dee's Magical Mirror,” Campbell et al.'s Antiquity study on the mirror's Mexican/Aztec obsidian origin, and Mesoamerican material on Tezcatlipoca and the “Smoking Mirror.”Links For The Occult Rejectshttps://linktr.ee/theoccultrejectsOccult Research Institutehttps://www.occultresearchinstitute.org/Cash Apphttps://cash.app/$theoccultrejectsVenmo@TheOccultRejectsBuy Me A Coffeebuymeacoffee.com/TheOccultRejectsPatreonhttps://www.patreon.com/TheOccultRejectsCore Scientific Sources: Mirror-Gazing, Strange Faces, and Altered Self-ExperienceCaputo, Giovanni B. “Strange-Face-in-the-Mirror Illusion.” Perception 39, no. 7, 2010, 1007–1008.Key use: This is the main science anchor for the episode. Caputo showed that prolonged mirror-gazing under low illumination can produce strange-face apparitions, including distortions, unknown faces, monstrous faces, animal-like faces, archetypal faces, and faces of relatives or deceased people.Caputo, Giovanni B., Steven Jay Lynn, and James Houran. “Mirror- and Eye-Gazing: An Integrative Review of Induced Altered and Anomalous Experiences.” Imagination, Cognition and Personality 40, no. 4, 2021, 418–457.Key use: This is one of the strongest overview sources. It reviews empirical studies on mirror-gazing, psychomanteum work, and eye-to-eye gazing, especially in relation to altered perception, anomalous experiences, bodily experience, and self-identity.Mash, Joanna, Paul M. Jenkinson, Charlotte E. Dean, and Keith R. Laws. “Strange Face Illusions: A Systematic Review and Quality Analysis.” Consciousness and Cognition 109, 2023, article 103480.Key use: Newer review source. Useful because it supports strange-face illusions as a reliable phenomenon in both mirror-gazing and interpersonal gazing, while also warning that stronger research is still needed on mechanisms and prevalence.Bregman-Hai, Noa, and Nirit Soffer-Dudek. “Mirror-Gazing-Induced Dissociation Impairs Self-Reported and Implicit Sense of Agency: A Causal Investigation of Dissociation and Agency Under Controlled Laboratory Conditions.” PLOS ONE 21, no. 2, 2026, e0341316.Key use: Excellent source for the agency section. This connects mirror-gazing-induced dissociation with weakened sense of agency, which pairs well with mediumship, possession, automatic writing, and the feeling that “something else” is present.Derome, Mélodie, Eduardo Fonseca-Pedrero, Giovanni Battista Caputo, and Martin Debbané. “A Developmental Study of Mirror-Gazing-Induced Anomalous Self-Experiences and Self-Reported Schizotypy from 7 to 28 Years of Age.” Psychopathology 55, no. 1, 2022, 49–61.Key use: Useful developmental source. It connects mirror-gazing-induced anomalous self-experiences with age, self-perception, and schizotypal traits.Caputo, Giovanni B. “Visual Perception During Mirror-Gazing at One's Own Face in Patients with Depression.” The Scientific World Journal, 2014.Key use: Useful for the emotion/self-face relationship section. Caputo found that strange-face apparitions were reduced in patients with depression compared with healthy controls, including shorter duration, fewer strange faces, weaker intensity, and lower emotional response.Tramacere, Antonella. “Face Yourself: The Social Neuroscience of Mirror Gazing.” Frontiers in Psychology 13, 2022, article 949211.Key use: Strong support for the idea that mirror-gazing is like seeing yourself as another. It connects self-face perception with social neuroscience and the overlap between how we perceive our own face and the faces of others.Chakraborty, Anya C., and Bhismadev Chakrabarti. “Looking at My Own Face: Visual Processing Strategies in Self–Other Face Recognition.” Frontiers in Psychology 9, 2018.Key use: Useful for the self-face recognition section. This study looks at how people process their own face compared with other faces.Conty, Laurence, Nathalie George, and Jari K. Hietanen. “Watching Eyes Effects: When Others Meet the Self.” Consciousness and Cognition 45, 2016, 184–197.Key use: Best support for the gaze/presence section. It argues that direct gaze captures attention and triggers self-referential processing, which helps explain why a mirror can make the viewer feel watched.Face Perception, Pareidolia, and Monstrous DistortionPalmer, Colin J., and Colin W. G. Clifford. “Face Pareidolia Recruits Mechanisms for Detecting Human Social Attention.” Psychological Science 31, no. 8, 2020, 1001–1012.Key use: Best source for the “face-making brain” section. It supports the idea that illusory faces are not treated as meaningless noise; they can recruit mechanisms involved in social attention.Blom, Jan Dirk, Bastiaan C. ter Meulen, Jitze Dool, and Dominic H. ffytche. “A Century of Prosopometamorphopsia Studies.” Cortex 139, 2021, 298–308.Key use: Use carefully as a comparison source, not as a direct explanation for all scrying. Prosopometamorphopsia is a rare condition where faces appear distorted, showing that face-processing systems can produce frightening facial distortions under certain conditions.Psychomanteum, Grief, and Seeing the DeadHastings, Arthur, Michael Hutton, William Braud, et al. “Psychomanteum Research: Experiences and Effects on Bereavement.” OMEGA: Journal of Death and Dying 45, no. 3, 2002, 211–228.Key use: Main grief / dead-in-the-mirror source. Use carefully. It does not prove afterlife contact, but it supports the idea that mirror-gazing, darkness, memory, and grief can produce powerful experiences interpreted as contact.Moody, Raymond A. Reunions: Visionary Encounters with Departed Loved Ones. New York: Villard, 1993.Key use: Main modern popular source for the psychomanteum as a grief-contact chamber. Use as practitioner/popular context, not as the strongest academic evidence.Terhune, Devin B., and Matthew D. Smith. “The Induction of Anomalous Experiences in a Mirror-Gazing Facility: Suggestion, Cognitive Perceptual Personality Traits and Phenomenological State Effects.” The Journal of Nervous and Mental Disease 194, no. 6, 2006, 415–421.Key use: Good supporting source for anomalous experiences in a mirror-gazing facility. Pairs well with Hastings and the Caputo review.Kamp, K. S., Evgenia Steffen, Louis A. Kasket, and others. “Sensory and Quasi-Sensory Experiences of the Deceased in Bereavement: An Interdisciplinary and Integrative Review.” Schizophrenia Bulletin 46, no. 6, 2020, 1367–1381.Key use: Strong source for the grief section. It supports the point that bereaved people often report sensory or quasi-sensory experiences of the deceased, including feeling a presence, seeing, hearing, smelling, or sensing the dead.Hewson, Helen, and colleagues. “The Impact of Continuing Bonds Following Bereavement: A Systematic Review.” Death Studies, 2024.Key use: Useful for continuing bonds. It helps frame ongoing inner relationships with the dead as part of bereavement rather than automatically pathological.Historical, Religious, and Occult Mirror DivinationJohnston, Sarah Iles. Ancient Greek Divination. Wiley-Blackwell, 2008.Key use: Broad academic background for ancient divination systems. Not only mirror scrying, but very useful for framing divination as a serious religious and cultural practice.“Technical Divination and Mechanics of Sacred Space.” In Technologies of the Marvellous in Ancient Greek Religion. Cambridge University Press.Key use: Useful for ancient catoptromancy. This chapter discusses mirror divination as a technical mode of ancient divination involving reflective/catoptric knowledge and assumptions about divine intervention in human knowledge.Lee, Mireille M. “The Gendered Economics of Greek Bronze Mirrors.” Hesperia 86, no. 1, 2017.Key use: Useful for Greek bronze mirrors as social, gendered, material, and possibly magical/divinatory objects.Pitt Rivers Museum. “Mirrors.” Body Arts Collection Resource.Key use: Good museum-level source for folklore around mirrors and catoptromancy. Useful for basic show-note support on the traditional belief that mirrors could reveal the future.John Dee, Black Mirrors, and ObsidianBritish Museum. “Dr Dee's Magical Mirror / Dr Dee's Magical Speculum.” Collection object 1966,1001.1.Key use: Essential object source. The British Museum identifies the object as Dr. Dee's magical mirror or magical speculum, made of obsidian, catalogued as Aztec, and broadly dated to the 14th–16th century.Campbell, Stuart, Elizabeth Healey, Jago Cooper, Naomi Speakman, and others. “The Mirror, the Magus and More: Reflections on John Dee's Obsidian Mirror.” Antiquity 95, 2021.Key use: Essential academic source for Dee's mirror. The study uses geochemical analysis to show that the British Museum obsidian mirrors are Mexican in origin, with Dee's mirror matching the Pachuca obsidian source.Nature. “A ‘Spirit Mirror' Used in Elizabeth I's Court Had Aztec Roots.” 2021.Key use: Short science-news summary of the Antiquity findings. Useful for quickly explaining that Dee's mirror was traced to a source near Pachuca, Mexico.Smithsonian Magazine. “Obsidian ‘Spirit Mirror' Used by Elizabeth I's Court Astrologer Has Aztec Origins.” 2021.Key use: Useful public-facing summary of Dee's mirror, its Aztec/Mexican origin, and its connection to Elizabethan occult culture.Dee, John, and Meric Casaubon, ed.

Snowflake is the AI Data Cloud behind some of the world's largest enterprises — $4.68 billion in annual revenue, 29% year-over-year growth, and over 760 Forbes Global 2000 companies as customers. Baris Gultekin, VP of AI at Snowflake, leads the product efforts that sit at the center of how those enterprises actually operationalize AI. Before Snowflake, he co-founded Google Assistant and scaled it from 10 million to 500 million monthly users.What you'll learn:Why our data isn't clean enough is a delay tactic — and the scoped approach to move past itWhat the semantic layer is and how it lets AI answer business questions accurately, not just fluentlyWhy running AI next to data (instead of sending data to models) makes governance dramatically easierHow Snowflake deployed AI internally: a CEO-level non-optional mandate combined with bottom-up access to their own Cortex coding agentWhy context — not just data — is what agents need to operate reliably at enterprise scaleKey takeaways:Start with one scoped use case, build the semantic model around it, layer governance — don't wait for perfect dataContext is a shared reality for agents: unified data + business semantics + codified workflowsAI adoption compounds when leadership sets a hard mandate and simultaneously gives everyone a tool to experiment withCredits:Host: Carlos Gonzalez de VillaumbrosiaGuest: Baris GultekinSocial Links:Find out more about Product School hereFollow our Podcast on TikTok hereFollow Product School on LinkedIn here

Du liegst nachts wach. Dieselben Gedanken, dieselbe Frage, dieselbe Schleife. Trennung ja oder nein? Die Affäre deines Partners. Was du hättest anders machen sollen? Und egal wie lange du nachdenkst: Eine Antwort kommt nicht. Das liegt nicht daran, dass du zu wenig nachdenkst. Es liegt daran, wie Grübeln im Gehirn funktioniert. In dieser Folge lernst du: 1. Was beim Grübeln neurologisch passiert und warum präfrontaler Cortex und Amygdala gemeinsam gegen dich arbeiten 2. Welche typischen Trigger Gedankenschleifen auslösen und warum dein Gehirn das für Schutz hält 3. Warum Rumination deine Gefühle verstärkt statt sie zu lösen 4. Was Loop-Verstärker sind und wie du sie erkennst 5. Konkrete Loop-Breaker, mit denen du Gedankenschleifen aktiv unterbrichst Grübeln fühlt sich nach Fortschritt an. Ist es aber nicht.

The results mark a “dramatic shift” in how neuroscientists think about sex differences, and they may help explain sex biases in certain neurodegenerative and neurodevelopmental conditions.

In order to get to your 80s and beyond with more energy, strength and independence than most people, you need to do different things than most people do right now.  Things that require some grit, determination and perseverance.  This is no surprise, right?  But did you know that there's a physical location in your body that's largely responsible for the motivation to persevere and achieve exceptional outcomes?  An area that you can deliberately train the same way you train your biceps.  And that doing so makes the drive for excellence, the motivation to choose the hard now in favor or the better future, and to stick with it more natural and automatic?  Just part of who you are.  If you want motivation and grit to be an intrinsic part of your natural personality, you need to learn about your anterior mid-cingulate cortex.email me: healthcouragecollective@gmail.comAre you ready to give your cells their best chance to not have to stop living before they die by allowing them access to physiologic levels of hormones, but aren't sure how to even get started?  Join the waitlist for my new beta program here and help me figure out how best to help wonderful women like you get the hormone care they deserve!Join the Waitlist HereCome visit me: www.healthcouragecollective.comemail me: healthcouragecollective@gmail.com

O que o futuro da inovação na China pode ensinar para quem empreende no Brasil? E como o SXSW, que já foi vitrine de tecnologias disruptivas, se comporta na sua 40° edição? Neste episódio, Pedro Waengertner convida Bella Pugliesi para um bate-papo direto sobre as impressões e insights colhidos em duas jornadas transformadoras: uma imersão pela China real — longe do turismo — e a experiência no SXSW, em Austin.Bella, Head de Transformation na ACE Cortex, traz relatos do que viu nas maiores empresas chinesas e centros de inovação, revelando a estratégica tríade entre governo, pesquisa e empreendedorismo, além da importância dos dados como base de tudo — desde a tomada de decisão até a construção de negócios integrados em ecossistemas gigantescos. No caminho, apontamos as diferenças culturais e práticas que colocam a China na dianteira da inteligência artificial e inovação pragmática, enquanto os EUA parecem cada vez mais fechados.No papo, você vai descobrir:Por que a China não é um país inovador “de primeiro movimento”, mas o melhor no escalonamento em massaComo o governo chinês atua como investidor sistêmico para fomentar ecossistemas inteirosO impacto do uso intensivo da biometria facial em pagamentos e segurança, e as consequências para o futuro dos negóciosReflexões sobre o SXSW atual, que para 2026 tem muito mais conexão humana do que conteúdo novo e disruptivo (e como isso se traduz para founders brasileiros)Se você está buscando uma visão realista e desconstruída da inovação na China hoje e quer entender como os grandes eventos de tecnologia como o SXSW se posicionam em tempos de inteligência artificial massificada, esse episódio é para você. Dá o play e vem com a gente!

Neste episódio, quebramos paradigmas para entender como a CAA (Creative Artists Agency) mudou o jogo do entretenimento global, transformando não só a estrutura da indústria mas também inspirando o modelo de inovação que aplicamos na ACE.Pedro Waengertner, CEO da ACE Ventures, e Bella Pugliesi, Head de Transformation na ACE Cortex, exploram a trajetória dessa agência que começou com 100 mil dólares e um jeito totalmente novo de trabalhar colaborativamente — e que acabou dominando o mercado ao criar “pacotes” integrados de talentos e projetos, além de se posicionar como sócia e orquestradora do valor, muito além do tradicional papel de agentes.No papo, eles discutem:Como a aposta estratégica na TV garantiu fluxo de caixa e permitiu escalarO poder de transformar clientes em sócios e o impacto disso na cadeia de valorA construção de uma cultura intensa de execução e colaboração em um mercado hierarquizadoA evolução da CAA em banco criativo, gerando influência cultural e intelectual globalOs paralelos entre o case e os desafios atuais de empreendedores na criação de ecossistemas e inovação contínuaSe você quer entender como empreender é também reinventar modelos mentais, ganhar poder no seu mercado e criar um negócio que transborda valor para o cliente e o ecossistema, este episódio é para você.Dá o play e vem com a gente!
