It would be funny if it wasn't so tragic. According to the Pulitzer finalist Matthew Hongoltz-Hetling, the majority of Americans no longer trust standard scientific proof. As he notes in his new book, The Ghost Labs, this faith in evidence based science has been replaced by the growth of bigfoot hunters, mediums, and alien enthusiasts. Hongoltz-Hetling traces this trend from his previous work on libertarian movements and alternative medicine, noting how the pandemic accelerated distrust in traditional institutions. He argues these paranormal beliefs, while seemingly harmless, fragment communities and undermine collective problem-solving. So how to fix this crisis in scientific trust? Hongoltz-Hetling's suggestion of licensing psychics and incorporating these beliefs into clinical settings to prevent further institutional erosion might sound a little absurd. But perhaps it's one concrete way of addressing social cohesion in our bizarre age of bigfoot hunters, mediums, and alien enthusiasts.* Crisis of institutional trust: Americans are increasingly rejecting science, government, universities, and even churches, turning instead to individualistic paranormal beliefs as alternatives to evidence-based institutions.* COVID as a catalyst: The pandemic accelerated existing distrust, with libertarian "medical freedom" messaging providing a bridge between fringe beliefs and mainstream Republican politics, leading to figures like RFK Jr. gaining power.* Fragmented vs. collective belief: Unlike organized religion which builds community through shared doctrine, paranormal beliefs are highly individualistic and based on personal experience, ultimately driving people apart rather than together.* Real-world consequences: This isn't just harmless entertainment—it leads to defunding of universities, people avoiding medical care, and the weakening of institutions that society depends on for collective problem-solving.* Controversial solution: Hongoltz-Hetling reluctantly suggests licensing psychics and incorporating paranormal beliefs into clinical settings as a pragmatic strategy to prevent complete institutional collapse, though he acknowledges this feels like "capitulation to dark forces."Matthew Hongoltz-Hetling is a freelance journalist specializing in narrative features and investigative reporting. He has been named a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize, won a George Polk Award, and been voted Journalist of the Year by the Maine Press association, among numerous other honors. His work has appeared in Foreign Policy, USA Today, Popular Science, Atavist Magazine, Pulitzer Center on Crisis Reporting, the Associated Press, and elsewhere.Keen On America is a reader-supported publication.

00:00 Introduction 12:44 Form 1:04:15 Themes 1:28:17 Moral problems 1:52:00 Favorite sequences After the artistic triumph of his magnum opus The Tree of Life, Terrence Malick had an unwontedly prolific period, releasing To the Wonder (2012), Knight of Cups (2015), and Song to Song (2017). In these films, known informally as the "Weightless Trilogy", Malick took his previous formal experimentation even further, relying heavily on improvisation stitched together with a stream-of-consciousness editing style evoking the fragments of memory. The results are undeniably aesthetically exciting, but also critically divisive, as many viewers find the latter two films particularly to lack narrative substance. The films have been of special interest to many Christians because of their explicit allusions to faith and their depiction of the emptiness of worldly pleasures as the characters search for something more. To the Wonder in particular is noteworthy for its priest character played by Javier Bardem, and because it deals with the issue of contraception and how being closed off to children destroys a relationship (the importance of children being a theme in all three films). Across the trilogy, Malick deals with the topic of sexuality in a way seen nowhere else in modern Hollywood, consistently showing the breakdown of sexuality in excess, deviance, and using others as destructive and even sinful. In that and in other respects, the films are profoundly countercultural. However, this is dangerous material to handle in any medium, cinema above all. Malick is not always successful in threading the needle with moral purity in execution, however praiseworthy his thematic intentions. This makes it impossible to recommend these films for a wide viewership, or to anyone without caveats. Nonetheless, a discussion of these films, with all their strengths and weaknesses, is essential in considering the direction of religious cinema today - and in this episode Thomas Mirus, James Majewski, and Nathan Douglas do just that.  Note: YouTube has censored versions (TV-14, blurred nudity and bleeped profanity) of Knight of Cups and Song to Song, for free with ads.

GSB turns 100: RUSI experts look back on key security shifts and explore what's next for the UK in a rapidly changing global landscape. In this special 100th episode of Global Security Briefing, host Neil Melvin is joined by the RUSI International Security team to reflect on how global security has evolved since the podcast's launch in 2021. Recorded live in London, the episode examines a world marked by rising state-based wars, increasing military tensions, and the fragmentation of the post–World War II international order. From the Russia–Ukraine war and instability in the Middle East to the growing rivalry between the US and China in the Indo-Pacific, the panel explores the key trends driving today's global insecurity. The discussion also considers the rise of influential regional powers and the UK's search for a post-Brexit role on the world stage. The team also offers insights on the security challenges of the next five years. Can the UK and its allies adapt to an increasingly contested and divided global landscape?

What if your body was speaking a language your mind never learned to hear? In this episode, I share a personal journey that began with chronic skin issues and led to unexpected clarity — not just physical, but cognitive, emotional, and spiritual. We explore how symptoms like inflammation, fatigue, and focus issues can be more than medical—they might be signals of a deeper fragmentation of self. From Temple Grandin's visual thinking to sumo wrestlers' skin, from trauma to language learning, this episode weaves together science, philosophy, and lived experience to ask a simple but profound question: Do you want to be made whole?

Episode 091: Kailash Duraiswami is the Chief Technology Officer at Milemarker, where he leads the development of data infrastructure and AI-powered solutions for modern advisory firms. With a unique blend of financial expertise and deep technical knowledge, Kailash brings his passion for innovation, data strategy, and scalable technology to help wealth management firms thrive in a multi-platform world. In this episode, Kyle Van Pelt talks with Kailash about his unconventional path from launching an RIA straight out of college to building tech that transformed data operations for financial firms. They unpack the challenges firms face with fragmented data, the importance of centralized infrastructure, and how AI will reshape wealth management. They discuss why firms need to reclaim ownership of their data, how to avoid becoming an “accidental CTO,” and how Milemarker is building scalable, simplified tech solutions for advisors navigating a multi-platform, AI-enabled world. In this episode: (00:00) - Intro (01:53) - Kailash's money moment (06:56) - What is Pantenix? (10:10) - The value of a data warehouse (12:31) - Kailash's thoughts on cloud-based infrastructure (14:16) - The importance of data platforms (18:29) - Why becoming a CTO should be intentional (22:30) - AI in wealth management (24:46) - The advantage of building your own language models (31:51) - Why CTOs in RIAs need to understand wealth management (36:02) - Why all-in-one platforms limit user experiences (39:03) - Kailash's Milemarker Minute Key Takeaways Centralize your data to maximize AI and operational efficiency. Without consolidating your firm's data into a single, accessible environment, it's nearly impossible to generate meaningful insights or leverage AI effectively. Fragmented data limits your ability to scale and innovate. You don't have to become an “accidental CTO”. Many firm leaders end up spending too much time wrestling with tech. Outsourcing specialized functions—like data architecture and infrastructure—can free up your time to focus on clients and growth, while still driving innovation. Owning your data is not the same as using cloud-based tools. Just because your systems are in the cloud doesn't mean you own your data. True ownership means having control over how and where your data is stored, accessed, and used to make decisions. AI is only as smart as the data it has access to. For AI to deliver meaningful outcomes—like intelligent agents or predictive analytics—it needs clean, well-structured, and centralized data. Start with solid infrastructure before diving into advanced AI capabilities. Quotes "What we're doing here, as a help to your technology footprint, is enabling you to see and understand your business in ways you've never done before. And that requires very sophisticated technology." ~ Kailash Duraiswami "You must have your data in one place to really make use of AI because the conclusions that the model can make or the recommendations are all subject to what data is presented to it." ~ Kailash Duraiswami  "The biggest thing we are making here is building a tool that is advisor-centric and executive-centric. And that means simplicity. Above all, the boldness of what we have here is to do less in an excellent way." ~ Kailash Duraiswami  Links  Kailash Duraiswami on LinkedIn Orion Advisor Solutions Black Diamond Tamarac Connect with our hosts Milemarker.co Kyle on LinkedIn Jud on LinkedIn Subscribe and stay in touch Apple Podcasts Spotify YouTube Produce game-changing content with Turncast Turncast helps your company grow by producing top-quality content and fostering transformative conversations.

Send us a textBefore recovery, I had no idea how many areas of my life I didn't even perceive as having a choice in. I thought, ‘This is just the way it is; this is just how life works.' But one of the greatest freedoms recovery has given me is learning that I actually do have choices, and the greatest of those freedoms is the freedom to choose what I think and believe. This week's episode 313 of the Fragmented to Whole Podcast is about how to go from victim mentality to empowered living!In this episode of the Fragmented to Whole Podcast, I share how I went from feeling powerless to living an empowered life by recognizing that I have choices!

I delve into the concept of victim mentality, how our internalized beliefs can limit our choices and keep us feeling trapped in destructive patterns, and ultimately, how to choose peace and intentionality over reactivity. I encourage you to start by identifying one area in your life where you've been playing the victim. Make a conscious choice today to approach that situation with intention, personal responsibility, and hope.Be sure to tune in to all the episodes to receive tons of practical tips on living a more whole life and to hear even more about the points outlined above.Thank you for listening!

Forecast = Prepare for scattered CVEs, rising bot storms, and real-time threat lightning. Keep your digital umbrellas handy! ‍ On this episode of Storm⚡️Watch, we're breaking down the latest shifts in the vulnerability tracking landscape, starting with the ongoing turbulence in the CVE program. As the MITRE-run CVE system faces funding uncertainty and a potential transition to nonprofit status, the global security community is rapidly adapting. New standards and databases are emerging to fill the gaps—Europe's ENISA is rolling out the EU Vulnerability Database to ensure regional control, while China continues to operate its own state-mandated systems. Meanwhile, the CVE ecosystem's chronic delays and the NVD's new “Deferred” status for tens of thousands of older vulnerabilities are pushing teams to look elsewhere for timely, enriched vulnerability data. Open-source projects like OSV.dev and commercial players such as VulnCheck and Snyk are stepping up, offering real-time enrichment, exploit intelligence, and predictive scoring to help organizations prioritize what matters most. The result is a fragmented but innovative patchwork of regional, decentralized, open-source, and commercial solutions, with hybrid approaches quickly becoming the norm for defenders worldwide. We're also diving into Imperva's 2024 Bad Bot Report, which reveals that nearly a third of all internet traffic last year came from malicious bots. These bots are getting more sophisticated—using residential proxies, mimicking human behavior, and bypassing traditional defenses. The report highlights a surge in account takeover attacks and shows that industries like entertainment and retail are especially hard hit, with bot traffic now outpacing human visitors in some sectors. The rise of simple bots, fueled by easy-to-use AI tools, is reshaping the threat landscape, while advanced and evasive bots continue to challenge even the best detection systems. On the threat intelligence front, GreyNoise has just launched its Global Observation Grid—now the largest deception sensor network in the world, with thousands of sensors in over 80 countries. This expansion enables real-time, verifiable intelligence on internet scanning and exploitation, helping defenders cut through the noise and focus on the threats that matter. GreyNoise's latest research shows attackers are exploiting vulnerabilities within hours of disclosure, with a significant portion of attacks targeting legacy flaws from years past. Their data-driven insights are empowering security teams to prioritize patching and response based on what's actually being exploited in the wild, not just theoretical risk. We're also spotlighting Censys and its tools for tracking botnets and advanced threats, including collaborative projects with GreyNoise and CursorAI. Their automated infrastructure mapping and pivoting capabilities are helping researchers quickly identify related malicious hosts and uncover the infrastructure behind large-scale attacks. Finally, VulnCheck continues to bridge the gap during the CVE program's uncertainty, offering autonomous enrichment, real-time exploit tracking, and comprehensive coverage—including for CVEs that NVD has deprioritized. Their Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog and enhanced NVD++ service are giving defenders a broader, faster view of the threat landscape, often surfacing critical exploitation activity weeks before it's reflected in official government feeds. As the vulnerability management ecosystem splinters and evolves, organizations are being forced to rethink their strategies—embracing a mix of regional, open-source, and commercial intelligence to maintain visibility and stay ahead of attackers. The days of relying on a single source of truth for vulnerability data are over, and the future is all about agility, automation, and real-time insight.

Send us a textFor much of my life, I've known that one of my most hated human characteristics is arrogance. So, imagine my surprise when I learned in recovery that I was arrogant. Recovery also helped me understand that I hated it because it was something in me that I didn't like. And you know what we say in recovery: you spot it, you got it, and often, if you're spotting something regularly in other people, it's because you have it and probably don't like it. This week's episode 312 of the Fragmented to Whole Podcast is about the humbling truth behind my need to rescue and how I got out of it. Some of the talking points I go over in this episode include:Recovery helped me realize that my desire to help others stemmed from the need for control and superiority. Pointing out the different types of arrogance: intellectual, moral, spiritual, and social. Strategies for overcoming the need to rescue or fix others (including some language to use when doing so). I encourage you to reflect on your own "helping" behaviors. Are you truly supporting others or subtly trying to control outcomes?

� “If saying ‘no' makes you feel guilty, it's time to learn how to say it with confidence.”

The way medical records are handled in Canada is a patchwork of disconnected systems – creating massive headaches for patients and doctors. Patients struggle to access their own data, and practitioners have to waste time compensating for inefficiencies. But, governments, companies and healthcare professionals are searching for ways to make all these systems talk to each other.Chris Hannay is a staff reporter at the Globe who covers the business of healthcare. He'll explain how Canada's medical record system ended up like this and what Canada could gain from adopting an interconnected system.Questions? Comments? Ideas?

Send us a textWhen my homeless friend moved in with me, we often listened to music instead of NPR, which was typical for me at the time. I came to realize that replacing politics with music shifted my mood drastically. When I was no longer filling my ears with the horrible things happening in our world, I noticed how much more at peace I felt and how much of a game changer this was for me. This week's episode 311 of the Fragmented to Whole Podcast is about choosing peace over panic- why I stopped watching the news. In this episode of the Fragmented to Whole Podcast, I'm sharing my transformative journey of prioritizing my mental health by stepping away from constant news consumption, some options if you want to limit your news intake, but don't want to be kept out of the loop completely, and a prayer you can read before watching the news should you choose to do so.A Prayer Before Reading the News Written by Rabbi Irwin Keller in early 2016  My God, the soul you have placed in me is pure and vulnerable. I am afraid that looking at today's news will be painful. Encircle me in a robe of lightso that I can witness the wounds of the world without being wounded myself. Let me learn what I need to know In order to be of greatest usewithout being overwhelmed by despair. I feel your protective light nowas I open myself to the world's suffering and the world's joys. Amen Remember, you are not obligated to be constantly informed about every world event. Your mental peace is more important than feeling perpetually anxious about things outside your control. Take a moment to evaluate how news consumption affects your daily life, and give yourself permission to make changes that support your emotional wellness.Be sure to tune in to all the episodes to receive tons of practical tips on living a more whole life and to hear even more about the points outlined above.Thank you for listening!

If you find yourself torn between rationality and spirituality, science and mysticism, facts and belief; The Lectern's inaugural 8-week course will offer you a new lens through which to reflect on these dilemmas. Click here to enroll: https://lectern.teachable.com/p/einstein-and-spinoza-s-god1 “What does it really mean to be authentic, and can this virtue be meaningfully understood and measured across psychology and philosophy?” John Vervaeke, Gregg Henriques and Matthew Schaublin embark on a discussion covering the concept of authenticity. The discussion explores authenticity as one of the premier virtues of modernity, comparing it with autonomy, and tracing its roots through romanticism and existentialism, notably discussing Heidgegger and Kierkegaard. Greg introduces psychological perspectives and client-centered therapy influenced by Carl Rogers, while Matthew shares insights from his empirical research on dispositional authenticity carried out at the University of Chattanooga. The trio also touch on the tensions between self-identification and participation, self-alienation, cognitive fluency, and the societal quest for authenticity, proposing a nuanced and dynamic understanding of the true self. Gregg R. Henriques is an American psychologist. He is a professor for the Combined-Integrated Doctoral Program at James Madison University in Harrisonburg, Virginia, US. Matthew Schaublin is a master's candidate in psychology at the University of Chattanooga, with a four-year research focus on authenticity. His work blends empirical psychology with philosophical and classical inquiry, investigating how dispositional authenticity is expressed and experienced. —- Notes:  0:00 Introduction to the Lectern 0:45 Exploring the Concept of Authenticity 3:30 Greg's Perspective on Authenticity 5:00 Matthew's Research on Dispositional Authenticity 9:00 Theoretical Foundations of Authenticity 12:30 Philosophical and Clinical Perspectives 24:30 Relational and Psychological Dimensions 36:30 The Evolution of Self-Definition in Modernity 38:00 The Greek Roots of Authenticity 39:30 Modeling Authenticity and Personality 43:15 Rationalization and Authenticity 44:45 Tensions in Authenticity: Identification vs. Participation 49:00 The SAFE Model of Authenticity 55:00 Empirical Studies on Authenticity and Agency 1:06:30 Key Takeaways and Future Directions —-- Connect with a community dedicated to self-discovery and purpose, and gain deeper insights by joining our Patreon. https://www.patreon.com/johnvervaeke   The Vervaeke Foundation is committed to advancing the scientific pursuit of wisdom and creating a significant impact on the world.

Send us a textRegardless of how long I have been working with clients as a boundaries coach, I am still amazed by the mind-blowing revelations my clients have as a result of working with me. Today, I am sharing one of these profound experiences by sharing a story from “Sylvia,” one of my clients who confidently took back ownership of her life. This week's episode 308 of the Fragmented to Whole Podcast is about how to go beyond ‘woe is me'- Sylvia's powerful shift to self-ownership. In this episode of the Fragmented to Whole Podcast, I'm sharing a story from a client call where, with the help of boundaries coaching, “Sylvia” was able to overcome years of trauma, workplace challenges, and personal struggles to emerge stronger and more confident. Some key takeaways I go over in this episode include:You have the right to set boundaries because you get to live your life the way YOU want. You don't have to engage with people who have hurt you. You don't need to explain yourself to everyone. You own your narrative; other people don't get to tell you who you are or were. Give yourself grace, treating yourself as you would a beloved friend. Sylvia's story is a powerful reminder that we all have the ability to change our narratives and reclaim our power– and that's something we can all learn from.Be sure to tune in to all the episodes to receive tons of practical tips on living a more whole life and to hear even more about the points outlined above.Thank you for listening!

This week's episode 308 of the Fragmented to Whole Podcast is about how to go beyond ‘woe is me'- Sylvia's powerful shift to self-ownership. In this episode of the Fragmented to Whole Podcast, I'm sharing a story from a client call where, with the help of boundaries coaching, “Sylvia” was able to overcome years of trauma, workplace challenges, and personal struggles to emerge stronger and more confident. Some key takeaways I go over in this episode include:You have the right to set boundaries because you get to live your life the way YOU want. You don't have to engage with people who have hurt you. You don't need to explain yourself to everyone. You own your narrative; other people don't get to tell you who you are or were. Give yourself grace, treating yourself as you would a beloved friend. Sylvia's story is a powerful reminder that we all have the ability to change our narratives and reclaim our power– and that's something we can all learn from.Be sure to tune in to all the episodes to receive tons of practical tips on living a more whole life and to hear even more about the points outlined above.Thank you for listening!

Send us a textOne of the promises of ACA (Adult Children of Alcoholics and Dysfunctional Families) is that we go from being a reactor to an actor in our lives. This means taking a proactive approach to our lives rather than reacting to what is happening. It means that we are being thoughtful, giving conscious consideration to what's going on around us, and making conscious decisions instead of reacting based on habits or patterns from the past. This week's episode 305 of the Fragmented to Whole Podcast is about how to go from reactor to responder: breaking free from old patterns!Some of the talking points I go over in this episode include:The difference between reacting and responding, and why it's a significant paradigm shift in recovery. The role that awareness, decision-making, and learning to pause play in becoming a proactive person. Practical strategies for experimenting with different behaviors and getting feedback to determine what works best for you. Learning to view yourself as the solution, not the problem, and take empowered action towards the life you desire. Moving from being a reactor to a responder is a journey that requires patience and practice, but the rewards are immense. By becoming more aware, making conscious choices, and experimenting with new ways of being, you can break free from old patterns and start living a life of purpose and fulfillment. Be sure to tune in to all the episodes to receive tons of practical tips on living a more whole life and to hear even more about the points outlined above.Thank you for listening!

The co-authors of "Letters in Black and White" found common ground in their frustration with America's polarized racial discourse. Our conversation explored provocative ideas like "Blackness as oppression"—a concept that shook Wink's foundational beliefs about identity—and Jen's jarring return to an America where diversity training often stifled genuine dialogue.We challenged simplistic narratives of "privilege," examined the controversial topic of reparations (with Wink offering a compelling case for Black agency over victimhood), and questioned how society's racial scripts influence our thinking. Throughout our discussion, we highlighted the power of curiosity and personal storytelling to bridge seemingly insurmountable divides—inviting listeners to reconsider their own perspectives on race and identity in America.Winkfield Twyman and Jennifer Richmond are co-authors of Letters in Black and White: A New Correspondence on Race in America.A former law professor and current author, Winkfield (Wink) Franklin Twyman, Jr. is a southern writer from a small-town suburb outside of Richmond, Virginia. Wink lived on Twyman Road until the age of eight. Everyone on Twyman Road was a Twyman. A graduate of the University of Virginia and Harvard Law School, Wink has penned articles and essays in the South Carolina Law Review, the Virginia Tax Review, the National Black Law Journal, the St. Croix Review, the Pennsylvania Law Review, the Intellectual Conservative, The Civil War in Pennsylvania: The African American Experience, the Richmond Times Dispatch, the Chicago Tribune, and the New York Post. Wink identifies as an American Native to Virginia.

 Barb Nangle is a boundaries coach, speaker and the Founder and CEO of Higher Power Coaching and Consulting, LLC and host of the podcast, "Fragmented to Whole: Life Lessons from 12 Step Recovery."  In 2015 at the age of 52, after decades of therapy and tons of self-help work in a variety of areas, Barb found herself in 12-step recovery. She's been in two such fellowships since then and has changed deeply and profoundly as a result. As a former addict and people-pleasing rescuer, she empowers people to thrive and take more control over their personal and professional lives by coaching them to build healthy boundaries.  She works with organizations in the helping professions, as well as women entrepreneurs to avoid burnout and reduce turnover. Her specialty is working with professional women who say yes when they really want to say no, and neglect themselves because they're focused on others.   www.higherpowercc.com  

Send us a textChanges in medicine, technology, currency, and so much more are happening at an exponential rate, and our ability to adapt is either going to make or break us.

This week's episode 304 of the Fragmented to Whole Podcast is about how to handle life's demands without losing your shit!Some of the talking points I go over in this episode include:Defining adaptation energy, as introduced to me by my meditation teacher, Emily Fletcher, the founder of Ziva meditation.Why filling our adaptation energy tank is essential to avoid emotionally burning out.Consistent self-care practices you can do to refill your adaptation energy tank. Sharing an example of how recovery has allowed me to keep calm in stressful situations. Don't wait until you're running on empty to prioritize your self-care. Start building up your adaptation energy reserves today so you can handle whatever life throws your way with grace and resilience.

Send us a textCodependency in relationships can be a complex cycle to break, especially when it comes to family members. We tend to tolerate toxic behaviors for the sake of love and loyalty. That's why today I wanted to unpack some of the myths around loyalty and tolerance in dysfunctional family dynamics and how true love requires setting healthy boundaries. This week's episode 303 of the Fragmented to Whole Podcast is about breaking the codependency cycle!Some of the talking points I go over in this episode include:Love and loyalty do not mean tolerating abuse; when we excuse harmful behavior in the name of love, we're being loyal only to the dysfunction. True love includes boundaries, truth, and valuing yourself as a person, not just as a parent.The belief that "I don't matter" is a common issue for those in codependent relationships, leading them to prioritize the happiness of others over their own well-being.If you're struggling with codependency and setting boundaries in your relationships, know that you're not alone. Recovery is about unlearning patterns handed down to us and choosing a different way forward. It's never too late to change, and I am living proof of that. Be sure to tune in to all the episodes to receive tons of practical tips on living a more whole life and to hear even more about the points outlined above.Thank you for listening!
