Episode: 1451 Inventing the free public lending library: socialism in books.  Today, we invent the library.

What really goes on in our inner lives? Do we all think in words, narrating our experience with a constant "inner voice"? Or is that just a myth of the mind?In this conversation, Dr Tevin Naidu speaks with Professor Russell Hurlburt, pioneer of the Descriptive Experience Sampling (DES) method, a groundbreaking approach to studying inner experience using random beepers and in-depth interviews. Hurlburt challenges our assumptions about consciousness, showing that what people think their minds are like often doesn't match reality.About Russell Hurlburt:Professor of Psychology at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. Originator of the Descriptive Experience Sampling method, and author of six books on inner experience.

Charlie Kirk became the latest victim of gun violence in America on September 10. And he wasn't the only person shot on a school campus that day, nor was he the only political figure killed this year.  Unlike Melissa Hortman and her husband, the motivation for Kirk's murder remains unclear. That hasn't stopped right-wing pundits and politicians from framing it as typical extremist left-wing violence.  In between calls for civil war and censorship, the ramping up of police-state authoritarianism, and painting of the slain Christian Nationalist activist as a noble martyr, anti-racist icon Ta-Nehisi Coates called out the strange reflex from some left-of-center figures (like Ezra Klein) to participate in whitewashing Kirk's hateful politics. Today we discuss what happened and what it might mean.

The Baltimore Ravens just fell 38-30 to the Detroit Lions on Monday Night Football, and once again, the Ravens beat themselves. Lamar Jackson is too talented to keep wasting seasons like this, but the Ravens keep folding in the same clutch moments. Derrick Henry's late-game fumbles are becoming a real liability, and Marlon Humphrey looks flat-out cooked. Baltimore has the roster to dominate, but they're stuck in endless collapse mode — and I'll tell you why this team will never get over the hump unless something changes.

A GROUP called the International Association of Genocide Scholars issued a statement this week declaring that Israel's war against Hamas met the criteria for genocide. Not so fast! The mainstream media not surprisingly ran with the story, but only the Washington Free Beacon did actual journalism, asking some obvious questions: Who are these people? How does one become a “genocide scholar”? How many people voted on the resolution to declare Israel guilty of genocide? It turns out there are about 600 members in the IAGS, and the only requirement to become a “genocide scholar” is paying a $125 fee. Passing a resolution to declare a genocide only requires a 20% quorum, meaning only 120 members have to vote. In this case, 129 dues-paying members of the IAGS cast ballots on the resolution, which based its findings on statistics provided by Hamas, and that was enough to convince the legacy media like AP, Reuters, Washington Post, and New York Times that Israel is committing genocide. It's a propaganda war, and Israel is losing. Also: Tucker Carlson thinks Hamas is a political organization; free speech is dead in the UK; President Trump was an FBI informant in the Jeffrey Epstein case (!); and the next blood moon.

We've got one last look back before we plunge into the future. This week we're taking it way, way back to Episode 26 with the amazing inventor Dean Kamen. From Episode 26 - September 26, 2019: Dean Kamen is one of the greatest inventors of our time. He invented the Segway, the first drug infusion pump, and the Slingshot–a water purification device that requires no filters, can turn almost any kind of water into drinking water and can operate using cow dung as fuel. He also invented the LUKE (Life Under Kinetic Evolution) prosthetic arm for the Department of Defense's DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency). And now, Dean has invented invented a revolutionary all-terrain electric wheelchair known as the iBOT. He rode to our interview with your host Paul Rieckhoff (@PaulRieckhoff) on the newest version that he unveiled to the world this week in New York–and shares why it can change history not just for the disabled and wounded veterans–but for everyone. Like all our guests, Dean Kamen is an iconic, important and inspiring American. One who's shaped what America has been in the past, is in the present, and more than any other guest we've had so far, he's shaping the future. One of Dean's proudest accomplishments is founding FIRST® (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology), an organization dedicated to motivating the next generation to understand, use and enjoy science and technology. This year FIRST® will serve more than 1 million young people, ages 6 to 18, in more than 86 countries. High-school-aged participants were eligible for more than $50 million in scholarships from over 200 leading colleges, universities, and corporations. Dean Kamen was Elon before Elon. But not all messed up. He's a much better person, he's a much better creator, he's a much better visionary and most importantly he's a helper. -WATCH video of Paul and Dean's conversation. -Learn more about Independent Veterans of America and all of the IVA candidates.  -Join the movement.

Few forerunners of the modern conservative movement are as important, little known, and underappreciated as Frank Meyer.  Meyer possessed the IT factor that made women want him and men want to be associated with him.  He used that in his early years to advance Marxism in England—building an impressive Marxist organization that had the attention of UK's government, dating the Prime Minister's daughter while calling for the violent overthrow of the Prime Minister's government, and becoming a national celebrity as the nation debated whether he should be exiled.  But later in life, when he turned to the Right, that same charisma was used to help William F. Buckley build a fledgling conservative movement that ultimately changed the politics of the nation.   Joining Josh to discuss this most remarkable life is Daniel J. Flynn, author of his latest book: The Man Who Invented Conservatism: The Unlikely Life of Frank S. Meyer.   About Daniel J. Flynn From spectator.org Daniel J. Flynn, a senior editor of The American Spectator, serves as a visiting fellow at the Hoover Institution for the 2024-2025 academic year. His books include Cult City: Harvey Milk, Jim Jones, and 10 Days That Shook San Francisco (ISI Books, 2018), Blue Collar Intellectuals: When the Enlightened and the Everyman Elevated America (ISI Books, 2011), A Conservative History of the American Left (Crown Forum, 2008), and Intellectual Morons: How Ideology Makes Smart People Fall for Stupid Ideas (Crown Forum, 2004). In 2025, he releases his magnum opus, The Man Who Invented Conservatism: The Unlikely Life of Frank S. Meyer. He splits time between city Massachusetts and cabin Vermont.    About The Book Frank Meyer devised the blueprint for American conservatism—fusionism—championed by Barry Goldwater, Ronald Reagan, and so many to this day. Yet long before and far away, Communists in London chanted “Free Frank Meyer!” to block the deportation of a comrade who was their cause célèbre. Those fervent Marxists could never have predicted that their hero would one day provide the intellectual energy necessary to propel conservatives to political power.    The Man Who Invented Conservatism unveils one of the twentieth century's great untold stories: a Communist turned conservative, an antiwar activist turned soldier, and a free-love enthusiast turned family man whose big idea captured the American Right. This intellectual migration coincided with a clandestine affair inside 10 Downing Street, service as a lieutenant to the man who later constructed the Berlin Wall, and neighborly chats with the pop-star and poet celebrity next door. Present at the creation of National Review, Meyer helped launch Joan Didion's writing career. From H. G. Wells to Henry Kissinger to Milton Friedman, he rubbed shoulders with everyone who mattered.   Having discovered Meyer's previously unexamined correspondence in an old soda warehouse, Daniel J. Flynn documents this saga in The Man Who Invented Conservatism, exposing the rivalries, jealousies, friendships, and fights that shaped the movement and what it means to be a conservative today.

Join Joel Blackstock for an extraordinary conversation with Dr. Steven Vazquez, the inventor of Emotional Transformation Therapy (ETT), as he reveals the 25-year scientific journey that led to one of the most innovative breakthroughs in trauma treatment. From skeptical experimentation to treating cancer with eye movements, discover how specific wavelengths of light directly impact the brain's emotional centers. In this illuminating episode, Dr. Vazquez shares the fascinating evolution of ETT's four core technologies, the neuroscience behind why colors disappear during dissociation, and remarkable case studies including elimination of Parkinson's symptoms, instant resolution of 15-year chronic pain, and complete remission of colorectal cancer through targeted eye movement protocols. Key Topics Covered: The accidental discovery: From syntonic optometry to emotional transformation Building and testing 7 different light devices over 25 years Why the optic nerve's path through the brain stem changes everything The substantia nigra connection: Treating movement disorders without surgery Temporal-parietal junction: Why trauma survivors are 4x more likely to be re-traumatized Real-time dissociation detection through visual distortion Converting EMDR practitioners: Why they switch and never go back Breakthrough Cases Discussed: Arthritic pain eliminated instantly with orange light Colorectal cancer remission confirmed by oncologist next day Father's visual trauma from discovering son's suicide - resolved in 10 minutes Sciatica eliminated in 20 minutes (physician patient, still gone 1 year later) Birth trauma causing adult osteoporosis - complete resolution Resources: ETT Training Programs (7 levels): www.etttraining.com Research and publications on wavelength-specific brain activation International training locations and certification pathways Perfect for neuroscience enthusiasts, trauma therapists, EMDR/Brainspotting practitioners, and anyone seeking to understand the cutting-edge intersection of light, brain science, and emotional healing. #EmotionalTransformationTherapy #ETT #DrStevenVazquez #Neuroscience #TraumaTherapy #LightTherapy #BrainScience #EMDR #Brainspotting #Innovation #PTSD #ChronicPain #Dissociation #TherapyResearch

Identical twins Matthew and Michael Youlden invented their own private language as toddlers. They've gone on to become accomplished multi-linguists, but kept up their childhood invented language and still use it today. Matthew Syed explores the extraordinary human capacity to invent new systems of communication and considers whether language can penetrate and shape the way we see the world. He discovers the fascinating process involved in developing fictional languages with language creator Jessie Peterson. She invented ‘Firish' (or Ts'íts'àsh), which is spoken by the animated fire beings in Disney's Elemental. Matthew also hears about the life-changing effect the ancient language of Sanskrit had on an American Professor. Through their stories, Matthew rethinks his own feelings towards the relationship between language and thought. With identical twins ‘Superpolyglot Bros' Matthew and Michael Youlden; Professor of Psychology and Director of the Twin Studies Center at California State University Fullerton, Dr Nancy Segal; professional language creator Jessie Peterson; and Varun Khanna, Professor of Classics at Swarthmore College, Pennsylvania.

What is Herbal Ecstasy—and why does it matter? This might be one of the most insane episodes we've ever recorded, and we had to bring it back because the story is too wild, too relevant, and too packed with real lessons in biohacking, brain optimization, and supplement hacking to miss. Host Dave Asprey sits down with Shaahin Cheyene, the renegade teenage entrepreneur who built a billion-dollar supplement empire before he could legally drink. As the creator of Herbal Ecstasy, Shaahin hacked natural compounds into high-performance nootropics that boosted energy, neuroplasticity, and metabolism—long before biohacking was a movement. He faced seven federal investigations, never spent a day in jail, and went on to pioneer the vaporizer industry and dominate Amazon with advanced supplement marketing. This episode explores how Shaahin reverse-engineered functional medicine principles, used ancient plant medicine to upgrade human performance, and scaled a controversial brand using raw hustle and hacking tactics. You'll hear how Herbal Ecstasy worked, why it was banned, and what it teaches us about supplements, mitochondrial function, dopamine regulation, and the dark politics behind wellness innovation. You'll learn: • Why Herbal Ecstasy became a billion-dollar underground supplement • How Shaahin used nootropics and adaptogens to hack energy, focus, and neuroplasticity • What his clash with the FDA reveals about supplement regulation and functional medicine • How dopamine, mitochondria, and metabolism drive human performance • The difference between hacking systems vs conforming to broken ones • How storytelling, podcasting, and controversial supplements build legacy brands Whether you're optimizing your sleep, hacking your brain, experimenting with ketosis or fasting, or upgrading your stack with supplements that actually work—this channel delivers strategies, cautionary tales, and insight you won't find anywhere else. lt is essential listening for anyone serious about biohacking, brain optimization, supplements, mitochondria, metabolism, functional medicine, nootropics, longevity, dopamine, cold therapy, sleep optimization, emotional regulation, neuroplasticity, fasting, podcasting, RFK-era health freedom, ketosis, entrepreneurship, and building influence smarter not harder—with or without Danger Coffee. Dave Asprey is a four-time New York Times bestselling author, founder of Bulletproof Coffee, and the father of biohacking.

SEASON 2 - EPISODE 151 - Dave Freeth - Inventor of the Stabileye In this episode of the Team Deakins Podcast, we speak with Dave Freeth, a recipient of a Scientific and Engineering Award by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences for the invention of the Stabileye. The Stabileye is a remotely-operated, motorized camera stabilization system, and we used the equipment extensively on 1917 to pull the film off. Dave originally started out in an apprenticeship for watchmaking but soon found himself working for the Ministry of Defence until making the transition into the film industry. We asked Dave to come on the podcast to discuss the Stabileye's inception and design, and he describes the underlying mechanics that not only power the Stabileye but other stabilization systems in use today. We talk about gyroscopes, satellites, lasers, and even gravity! He also shares how the Stabileye is adapting to newer camera models, and he reveals some surprising potential developments in sensor technology. We learn a lot in this episode, and we were excited to celebrate Dave's recent recognition with him.  - This episode is sponsored by Aputure & Barco

Was the Italian Renaissance really a “Golden Age”? And if so, would anyone living through it have actually noticed? In this week's episode of The More Freedom Foundation Podcast, Robert Morris dives deep into the myths and realities of history's most romanticized era. Inspired by Ada Palmer's Inventing the Renaissance: Myths of a Golden Age, Rob shares his growing fascination with the period—and why Palmer's perspective has reshaped how he sees it.We also contrast that thoughtful take with William Manchester's A World Lit Only by Fire, a bestselling but quite crap take on the Middle Ages and Renaissance that Rob feels misses the mark. From artistic masterpieces and humanist philosophy to the messier truths of war, plague, and inequality, we explore what makes a “Golden Age” in the first place—and whether the glow comes from hindsight more than history.⁠⁠⁠Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Website⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Books⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Twitter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok

From Michelangelo's David and Machiavelli's The Prince to the plays of Shakespeare, the Renaissance produced some of history's most astounding works of culture, art and innovation. But can focusing on these glittering creations obscure the messy and often violent reality of actually living through the era? Speaking to Ellie Cawthorne, Ada Palmer highlights the complexities of this so-called 'golden age' – including corrupt popes, devastating plagues and why Michelangelo hated painting.
