Jeff Dornik joins Jimmy Lakey on Lakey Unleashed to expose how algorithmic manipulation is breaking real community online by hiding content from the very people who chose to follow it. He explains why today's platforms push creators into self-censorship by dangling reach and monetization, then pulling it away the moment you step outside the approved narrative. Dornik also shares how Pickax is building a human-driven alternative with freedom of speech and freedom of reach, including direct integration with Rumble so creators can grow, monetize, and own their audience without being controlled by a rigged feed.Follow Jimmy Lakey on Pickax - https://pickax.com/jimmylakeyFollow Jeff Dornik on Pickax - https://pickax.com/jeffdornikTune into The Jeff Dornik Show LIVE daily at 1pm ET on Rumble.

In this explosive conversation, I lay out why AI is no longer just an abstract tech buzzword but a direct threat to your children, your mind, and your freedom—from foul-mouthed AI “toys” quietly harvesting data on your kids, to AI chip giants pouring billions into centralized systems that will decide what you see, what you believe, and what you're allowed to say. We walk through Elon Musk's robotic “utopia,” the dangerous myth of “neutral” AI with projects like Grok and Grokipedia, the way Big Tech and media use artificial intelligence to label, slander, and propagandize, and why the very elites building this system refuse to let their own kids near it, even as they demand that yours live on screens. I also explain why I won't let my three-year-old touch this digital trap, how we can return to real-world creativity, and how platforms like Pickax are being built to restore human judgment, free speech, and authentic reach in a world increasingly governed by code and controlled by oligarchs.Follow Jimmy Lakey on Pickax: https://pickax.com/jimmylakeyFollow Jeff Dornik on Pickax: https://pickax.com/jeffdornikTune into The Jeff Dornik Show LIVE every Tuesday and Thursday at 1pm ET.

In this powerful interview on Lakey Unleashed with Jimmy Lakey, Jeff Dornik dives deep into the spiritual and societal crisis of our age—the systematic erosion of free speech. From the rise of AI and billionaire-controlled tech to the frightening normalization of censorship—even among so-called conservatives—Jeff warns that the battle for liberty has moved from the battlefield to the bandwidth. He shares how Pickax is pioneering a human-centered, censorship-free platform built on the belief that freedom of speech is not granted by governments but given by God Himself.Follow Jimmy Lakey on Pickax: https://pickax.com/jimmylakeySubscribe to The Jeff Dornik Show on Rumble and never miss a show. https://rumble.com/c/jeffdornik Big Tech is silencing truth while farming your data to feed the machine.

In which Dan chats with Michael Wagner, Professor and Department Head of Digital Media at the Antoinette Westphal College of Media Arts & Design at Drexel University, about the implications for AI in education. Back in July Michael posted a piece to his Substack with the provocative title, "The End of Cheating as We Know It." He posits that, yes, AI has the power to disrupt everything in education, but, ironically, it has also created the conditions for ancient practices  of teaching and learning to ascend, methods like socratic and oral examination, as well as design cycle iteration.Mentioned in the show:The End of Cheating As We Know It by Michael WagnerMichael Wagner's SubstackAlpha SchoolMusic: Inspired by Lakey

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for January 26, 2025 is: circuitous • ser-KYOO-uh-tus • adjective If something—such as a path, route, or journey—is described as circuitous, it is not straight, short, and direct, but rather takes a circular or winding course. Circuitous can also describe speech or writing that is not said or done simply or clearly. // He took a circuitous route to town, stopping at several of his favorite shops even though it added minutes and miles to his trip. // While either method will yield the correct answer, one is far less circuitous and therefore considered superior. See the entry > Examples: “… like Alice tumbling down the rabbit hole, Ms. Lakey took a circuitous path to open a psychedelic community center. It involved a stint in the Amazon rainforest, a pen-pal in a maximum security federal prison and an auspicious meeting at a sushi restaurant in New Mexico.” — Rachel Nuwer, The New York Times, 8 Oct. 2023 Did you know? In J. R. R. Tolkien's The Hobbit, the titular hero Bilbo Baggins takes a circuitous route to the Lonely Mountain, which he helps to reclaim from a monstrous dragon. Although he successfully arrives there—and returns home again—we do not use the adjective circuitous to suggest that his path traces a perfect circle. We'll get straight to it: although both circuitous and its relative circuit share roots in circus, the Latin word for “circle” (and ancestor of the English words circle and circus), neither need conjure something shaped like, say, a ring. Just as the noun circuit can refer to an indirect route, circuitous describes routes which can appear circular when mapped, but can also be jagged, squiggly, etc. The point is that a journey such as Bilbo's is not straight, short, or direct, but rather rambling. When used figuratively, circuitous describes something that is not said or done simply and clearly; an example might be a rambling speech about manners in dangerous situations when a direct “Never laugh at live dragons” would suffice.
