ANGELA'S SYMPOSIUM 📖 Academic Study on Witchcraft, Paganism, esotericism, magick and the Occult
What is Freemasonry?This episode presents an in-depth academic overview of Freemasonry, the world's oldest initiatory society independent of religious institutions. Drawing on peer-reviewed scholarship and primary source analysis, it traces Freemasonry's historical evolution from its medieval operative roots to its speculative transformation in the eighteenth century and its global spread through colonial, imperial, and transnational networks.We explore the major Masonic traditions—Regular (Anglo-American), Liberal (Continental), mixed-gender, and female orders—highlighting their theological, political, and ritual distinctions. It examines the function and symbolism of Masonic initiation, the role of embodied ritual in shaping moral and esoteric knowledge, and the use of architectural space, tracing boards, and mythic narratives in the ritual construction of identity.CONNECT & SUPPORT
PG columnist Jason Mackey joined the show. Jason said his eyes were opened a bit to the idea of trading Paul Skenes based on what some American League executives told top baseball insiders. However, Jason doesn't think there is any chance the proposed trade would happen. How would the Pirates sell it to their fans? Jason hyped up the pitching they already have and can't stand what little they have done about their offense. Jason isn't confident the next offseason is run by Ben Cherington, if he even makes it through this 162. He thinks there's a chance Cherington is gone by the trade deadline.

Richard Mackey, Chief Technology Officer at CCS, focuses on the challenges faced by patients with diabetes and multiple morbidities, as well as their healthcare providers, in managing their conditions. CCS has developed the Living Connected approach to connect patients, providers, and payers, and promotes the role that durable medical equipment companies and pharmacists can play in supporting patients and doctors. Recognizing that patients are more than their disease, CCS addresses social determinants of health to provide education and care coordination. Richard explains, "CCS is a company that is in the business of chronic care management. We focus on delivering products and services to patients with a variety of chronic care conditions. But foremost among these for us is diabetes. We're very focused on being able to provide solutions and services for folks who are managing their diabetic condition." "On the machine learning side, we have a tremendous amount of data and information about how our patients will understand the devices they might be using. For example, continuous glucose monitors or CGMs are an important standard of care that we work with a lot of patients across the US to equip them, find the right device, help them begin using that device, and best understand what it can do and how it can help them make better decisions to manage their conditions." "We might talk to the patient once or twice a month. We might be talking to them multiple times within a quarter. In some cases, we're interacting with a patient more often than others in the ecosystem, maybe more often than even their physician in terms of the number of interactions per month or period, even their health insurance provider. So all that interaction helps give us information and data to draw insights on what those patients might need, what's most important to them, and how they interact with us. We can also work with a variety of other sources to bring information together. And by using the machine learning tools that we've developed, we can understand things that are important to them. So, it might be around the product or specific information related to the plan or the payer they're working with." #CCSMed #Diabetes #ChronicCare #CGM #Healthcare #DigitalHealth #MedicalAI ccsmed.com Download the transcript here

View the Show Notes Page for This Episode Become a Member to Receive Exclusive Content Sign Up to Receive Peter's Weekly Newsletter Sean Mackey is a professor of pain medicine at Stanford University and the director of the Stanford Systems Neuroscience and Pain Lab, where his research explores the neural mechanisms of pain and the development of novel treatments for chronic pain. In this episode, Sean joins Peter for a wide-ranging discussion on the multifaceted nature of pain—as both a sensory and emotional experience—and its evolutionary purpose as a critical survival mechanism. He dives into how pain is transmitted through the nervous system, the different types of pain, and why different individuals perceive pain so differently. Sean shares insights into pain management strategies ranging from medications like NSAIDs and opioids to neuromodulation techniques such as transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS). Additionally, this episode explores the interplay between sleep and chronic pain and the psychological and emotional dimensions of pain, and it includes a personal story from Peter about his own experience with pain and how Sean's expertise helped him more than two decades ago. We discuss: The definition of pain, and how our understanding of pain has evolved from a simplistic body-mind separation to a nuanced biopsychosocial model [2:30]; The biological mechanisms behind how we perceive pain [9:30]; The role of consciousness in the perception of pain, and how nociception functions during unconscious states [14:30]; The four types of pain [22:00]; Using fMRI to identify objective biomarkers of pain in the brain [31:30]; The evolutionary role of pain in human behavior and survival [36:00]; How the brain processes and modulates pain signals, Gate Control Theory, the variability in individuals' pain perception, and effectiveness of neuromodulation techniques like TENS [41:00]; The brain's influence on pain: the role of emotion, beliefs, sleep, and individual differences in perception and tolerance [53:45]; Peter's personal journey with chronic back pain, and how the emotional consequences of pain can be more distressing than the pain itself [1:04:30]; The pharmacology of common pain medications—NSAIDs, COX-2 inhibitors, and acetaminophen [1:09:30]; Muscle relaxants: benefits, drawbacks, and personalized strategies [1:20:30]; The definition of chronic pain [1:29:15]; The role of antidepressants in pain management [1:30:15]; Opioids: their controversial and nuanced role in pain management [1:33:45]; Alternative therapies: acupuncture and cannabis [1:54:15]; Fibromyalgia and chronic pain: clinical features, brain mechanisms, and emerging treatments like low-dose naltrexone [2:01:00]; Possible brain benefits of low-dose naltrexone (LDN) for people with mild cognitive impairment [2:15:00]; Peter's recovery from severe chronic pain—how he went from immobility and high-dose opioids to full functionality [2:20:15]; Breaking the pain cycle: how physical rehabilitation and psychological recovery work together in chronic pain treatment [2:30:45]; Sean's struggle with cluster headaches, and the value of knowledge, preparation, and empathy in both managing chronic pain and caring for patients [2:39:15]; and More.
