Could your kindness be putting you in danger? This eye-opening conversation with Laura Frombach and Joy Farrow reveals how predators don't actually look for weakness—they deliberately target kindness, empathy, and accommodation. In this episode, Laura Frombach shares her powerful personal story of growing up with generational domestic violence, watching her once very kind mother transform under years of abuse and coercive control. Her journey to understanding took 50 years, ultimately revealing that domestic violence doesn't just harm the victim physically—it fundamentally alters their psychology, creating a cage they cannot escape. Laura's technological background offers a fresh lens: women's safety intuition is hardware, but society installs politeness "software" that teaches us to override our natural protective instincts.Joy Farrow, drawing from her 28 years as a deputy sheriff, provides chilling examples of notorious predators who expertly hid behind respectable facades. From Larry Nassar to Ted Bundy, these individuals specifically targeted women who were empathetic, trusting, and unlikely to establish firm boundaries. This counterintuitive understanding challenges everything we thought we knew about victimhood.The conversation delivers practical "software updates" for women: speaking instincts aloud, rehearsing boundary-setting like CPR, making politeness optional rather than default, and surrounding yourself with boundary-respecting women. Most importantly, they help listeners recognize "fawning"—being nice out of fear—as a trauma response that keeps women vulnerable to manipulation.Whether you've experienced domestic violence firsthand or simply want to better protect yourself and loved ones, this conversation offers transformative insights about reclaiming your instincts and establishing boundaries without apology. Your kindness is a strength—but only when paired with clear boundaries that keep you safe.

Empathie – haben wirklich alle Menschen diese Fähigkeit? Der Perspektivwechsel, die Sichtweise anderer einnehmen zu können und ihre Emotionen wahrzunehmen, gilt als Grundlage der Ethik. Aber ist das schon Mitgefühl? Oder Mitleiden können? Und warum haben nicht alle Mitgefühl? Und warum nicht mit allen? Sind Populisten nicht extrem empathisch? Hat Empathie also eine abgründige Seite und gerade das sensible Erfassen von Gefühlslagen anderer kann der Manipulation dienen, im Alltag wie in der Politik? Als Philosophin erforscht Susanne Schmetkamp Empathie und ihre Bedeutung für unser Miteinander.

Exposing VDM Lies & Manipulation Regarding The Death Of Mohbadvdm consistently lie and manipulate things he claimed Mohbad died on Monday but the nurse who treated Mohbad confirmed that she treated Mohbad on Tuesday .

This show goes in an unplanned direction as Ed's mention of a somewhat common injury a man may accidentally inflict upon his manhood leads to Sherry, Donn and Triple T adding to the discussion...which was never intended to be a discussion. Also, Chuck in the Truck is back with more tales of 'psychic occurrences' he has experienced recently and yes, he believes it. And Liana Kerzner's Getting Through the Night discussion of 'Persuasion vs Manipulation' turns into a bit of a tug-of-war with Ed!

Why is nothing happening? Todays guest Dan Owolabi talks about as a high achiever, it can be difficult to have quiet time, or down time. You may always wondering whats next for me? What is the next big thing? That voice may be quieter while working towards something, but once you achieve it, there's that voice again. It's important to remember that God calls us to do exactly what we need to be doing. So if he is calling you for quiet, what can you hear during that time?  In this episode, you'll discover…  What is a key trait to winning at work, and at home? (1:14) Leadership vs Manipulation (4:48) From head to heart when it comes to Christianity. (11:20) How Dan makes sure he wins at home. (36:44)   Dan's Bio:  As Branches Worldwide's Executive Director, Dan has extensive experience helping faith driven leaders develop influence with customers, colleagues, and their community. He served as a pastor at a megachurch in Ohio before accepting the invitation to become our founding director. In addition to serving as the Executive Director, Dan is also the author of “Authentic Leadership” and a co-founder of Owolabi Leadership. Dan holds a BA from Malone University, and a MA from Ashland University. He lives in Ohio with his wife Erica and two daughters. Dan has always believed that Authentic Leaders are servants first.

I live in Austin, Texas, and last week we had a catastrophic flood. A rain bomb hit Austin, Texas, dumping 4 months of rain in 24 hours. Microbursts causing rain bombs are becoming more common, but why? Texas isn't the only place that has experienced strange weather or super heavy rains. We saw them last September in North Carolina, when a relentless downpour exceeded a year's worth of rain in just 24 hours. Triggering flash floods, impassable roads, and rescues. In this episode, we dive into what causes these extreme, new weather conditions. Join me as I talk about HAARP, cloud seeding, weather conspiracy, frequency manipulation, Operation Popeye, Rainmaker, Peter Thiel as the new Bill Gates, how to make it rain, the role of AI and drones, NOAA West Texas weather manipulation projects, bird migration maps, brain fog and mind programming, and the ultimate prison that you can't seem to escape from because the enemy is invisible.Want more?

Welcome to episode #991 of Six Pixels of Separation - The ThinkersOne Podcast. Bob Goodson is President and Founder of Quid, an AI-driven company whose models are used by a third of the Fortune 50. Before launching Quid, he was the first employee at Yelp, where he witnessed (and helped shape) the birth of the like button. Bob's academic roots in language theory (Oxford) and his deep curiosity about patterns of innovation led him to co-author Like - The Button That Changed The World, an illuminating book about how a simple social media feature rewired global communication and commerce. In this episode, we dig into the origin story of the like button and its unintended consequences - from how it shaped the social graph into a tool of surveillance capitalism, to the unintended shifts it created in digital identity and culture. Bob shares insights into the “arms race” of social engagement, the design intentions behind digital signals, and the eerie power of such tiny UX decisions to shape massive behavioral patterns. We also discuss TikTok's model of engagement, the overlooked nuance of the thumbs down, and the responsibility of technologists in shaping society. For marketers, platform builders and cultural observers, this conversation is a deep dive into how the smallest code fragments can shape our biggest societal shifts.

the most explosive documentary series ever created is here, and it reveals how one ancient bloodline has maintained absolute control over global finance, politics, and information for centuries. The Zion King isn't just a title—it's a position of power that controls world events from behind the scenes, and this investigation exposes how this network operates in the modern world. This isn't just another documentary about historical power structures—this is a real-time exposé of how ancient control systems have evolved into the most sophisticated manipulation network in human history. We're talking about financial systems that can crash entire economies with a single decision, media networks that can reprogram public opinion overnight, and political structures that make democracy itself an elaborate illusion. Our comprehensive investigation reveals never-before-exposed connections between historical power families and modern global institutions, how ancient protocols for population control have been updated for the digital age, and how the same bloodlines that controlled empires centuries ago now control the information age. Mystery enthusiasts and truth-seekers know that some power structures span generations—and this episode proves how deep these connections really go. From the creation of central banking systems to the orchestration of global conflicts, from the manipulation of religious institutions to the control of technological development, we expose how the Ring of Power operates as humanity's shadow government. The Zion King documentation reveals power structures that most people could never imagine exist. We'll reveal how this network influences everything from entertainment programming to educational curricula, how they use advanced psychological techniques to maintain control over global populations, and how their ultimate goal isn't just wealth accumulation but the complete restructuring of human civilization according to their ancient protocols. This isn't just about conspiracy theories—it's about documented power structures that operate in plain sight. From the financial mechanisms that transfer wealth upward to the information control systems that shape public perception, from the political networks that ensure predetermined outcomes to the technological systems that monitor and influence human behavior, this episode exposes how the Ring of Power has created a global control matrix that most people participate in without ever realizing it exists. The Zion King documentation isn't just historical research—it's a blueprint for understanding how power really works in the modern world, and why certain families maintain influence across centuries while civilizations rise and fall around them. Stream exclusively on Spreaker for uncensored bonus content about the Ring of Power network, or find us on Amazon Music (ask your Alexa about Ring of Power), Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeartRadio, and everywhere truth-seekers get their power structure reality checks.

Sie galt als liebevolle Mutter, gläubige Christin und fürsorgliche Ehefrau. Doch hinter der Fassade verbarg sich eine Geschichte, die selbst True-Crime-Profis sprachlos macht.Lori Vallow Daybell steht im Zentrum eines der erschütterndsten Kriminalfälle der letzten Jahre: Zwei tote Kinder. Drei tote Ehepartner. Und ein religiöser Wahn, der alles rechtfertigen sollte.Was als familiärer Streit begann, endet in Mord, Verschwörung – und der Frage, wie weit Menschen gehen, wenn sie sich für auserwählt halten.In dieser Folge erfährst du:

Wisdom isn't just about making smart decisions—it's about becoming the kind of man God can trust. In this hard-hitting episode of The Impossible Life, Garrett and Nick unpack what it truly means to grow in wisdom—not just intellectually, but spiritually, practically, and biblically.Prompted by a listener question, they go beyond the usual answers of “read Proverbs and pray,” diving deep into why wisdom without submission to God leads to ruin, how to spot counterfeit wisdom, and what separates godly wisdom from clever manipulation.

Have you ever wondered why you keep getting pulled back into the same toxic cycle, even after you know they're manipulating you?In this deep dive, we break down the exact five tactics narcissists use to keep you hooked:⚡️ Trauma bonding⚡️ Manipulation & devaluation⚡️ Projection & victimization⚡️ Equalizing your humanity against their abuse⚡️ Blackmail & character assassinationMore importantly, we connect the dots back to your childhood wounds — the real reason you're attracted to them in the first place.If you're tired of fighting for love that was never yours to win, this is the truth you need to hear.

The truth is, we can't stop being sheep. We are naturally inclined to follow a higher authority. So how can I navigate the terrain of spiritual life without being manipulated or used? How can I see the wolves for what they are, and how can I find a proper shepherd? Today we discuss the concept of “sheep” and “wolves” in both societal and spiritual contexts. We explore the natural human tendency to follow leaders and the risks that come with it. You'll hear how according to the Vedas, a qualified spiritual guide is essential—but we are surrounded by deceptive leaders or “wolves in sheep's clothing”. Manipulation occurs in politics, media, and even spiritual communities. And so we need to develop a sincere, cautious discernment rather than blind acceptance. True spiritual teachers never exploit, as they are genuinely fulfilled and act only out of care. And a genuine follower remains humble, always seeking guidance rather than striving for independence or superiority. Ultimately, what we need is to cultivate awareness, deepen our connection to the Supreme, and rely on authentic sources of wisdom and inner guidance to avoid being misled. Highlights: (1:02) “What the great man does, the common man follows” (11:39) Manipulation within spiritual communities (19:33) Behind the candy coated talks, there's really an agenda (27:04) Without a teacher, you can't grow strong enough to resist being manipulated (36:50) We really can't be independent (42:00) A true teacher doesn't teach a sectarian belief system, he teaches the Absolute Truth Recorded on May 23, 2022. https://linktr.ee/breakingtrail

He was a youth pastor, a devoted father, and a trusted member of his church. From the outside, Matthew Lee Richards seemed like the kind of man any family would be lucky to have. But behind the Bible verses and Sunday smiles… something much darker was festering. One quiet evening, that darkness erupted — and his family paid the price. This is the story of Matthew Lee Richards — a youth pastor who did the unthinkable.

What if empathy isn't the finish line of leadership, but the most dangerous halfway point? In this episode, Chris and Mark explore how empathy, when misused, can become a powerful tool for manipulation. They unpack the difference between validation and impact, and why leaders must go beyond being “emotionally available” to actually ending the suffering of others. Mercy, not just empathy, is what separates authentic leadership from emotional control. You'll hear: • Why “empathy is for the psychotic” (and what that actually means) • How manipulative leaders use emotional validation to gain control • The difference between sympathy, empathy, and mercy • Why impact = right motive + right action

Cette newsletter va vous choquer car vous pensez savoir et vous allez réaliser que non. Notre téléphone est ce que nous touchons le plus dans notre vie avant même le corps de nos enfants ou de notre partenaire. Nous vivons une épidémie silencieuse d'addiction technologique, et contrairement à ce qu'on veut nous faire croire, ce n'est pas de notre faute.Et voici mon tedx : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vhzd2fPtduE&t=18s&pp=ygUJcG91eSB0ZWR4En 2014, il y a 11 ans, ma petite amie de l'époque m'offrait un livre intitulé « Se débrancher chaque jour pour une meilleure vie ».C'est à peu près à cette même époque que je lisais Eli Pariser et sa bulle de filtre.Bref, cela fait longtemps que j'ai un souci avec les écrans, et c'est évidemment lié à ma nature curieuse mais aussi à mon travail de créateur de contenus par définition (ou au moins, c'est l'excuse que je me trouve).Dix ans plus tard, force est de constater que le problème ne s'est pas arrangé. Bien au contraire. Il s'est développé, infiltrant chaque recoin de mon quotidien avec une efficacité terrifiante.Et les études me prouvent que c'est sans doute pareil pour vous.Le sentiment partagé d'une difficulté à s'en libérer est bien réel mais ce n'est pas un manque de volonté individuelle, mais un problème systémique et culturel, intentionnellement conçu.Comme me le rappelle Johann Hari, que j'ai eu la chance de recevoir récemment sur Vlan!, notre attention a été volée. Les réseaux sociaux sont délibérément conçus pour nous rendre complètement addicts.Parce que je suis de bonne volonté et que regarder les heures perdues sur ces réseaux m'effraient, je me suis mis une limite de temps et après 30 minutes quand je vais sur Instagram, LinkedIn ou TikTok, j'ai ce petit message qui me rappelle que « non Greg, c'est pas bien ».Ça me donne une illusion de contrôle, c'est bien mais inutile en réalité, je le passe d'un mouvement de pouce rapide et ferme.Comme tout le monde, je me suis fait manipuler.Je ne sais pas vous, mais je trouve ça frustrant de le savoir, de comprendre un peu près les impacts - et pourtant de ne pas réussir à reprendre le contrôle. Je n'aime pas cette « faiblesse » que j'observe chez moi.C'est terrible parce que je me vois faire et je peste parce que c'est plus fort que moi.Cette newsletter, c'est ma tentative de comprendre pourquoi nous en sommes arrivés là, et surtout, comment nous pouvons nous en sortir - collectivement.Car il ne s'agit pas que de notre addiction compulsive à notre smartphone et de plus en plus à l'IA, mais de l'impact que cela peut avoir sur notre cerveau, notre Q.I., notre Q.E., notre capacité à réfléchir avec une pensée critique et à fonctionner avec d'autres.Après cette newsletter, vous allez vous observer vos usages de manière différente.La psychotherapeute Esther Perel parle d'une « atrophie sociale » - l'atrophie dans le corps, c'est quand un muscle n'est pas assez utilisé, alors il disparaît.ll semblerait qu'il se passe la même chose pour nous et qu'en réalité, cela va beaucoup plus loin que ça.Ne vous attendez pas à ce que je vous dise de faire çi ou ça ou que je sois vent debout contre les technologies.Je suis - vous l'aurez compris –un usager frénétique de mon mobile et de l'IA. Je serai donc mal placé pour vous donner des conseils que je ne mets moi-même pas en place ou vous dire que la technologie c'est mal.Néanmoins, je vais partager avec vous les pare-feux que j'essaie de mettre en place pour me prémunir de tout ce que je vais vous expliquer. C'est plus qu'urgent !

Ever been told "You'll never find someone like me" or "I'm the best you'll ever get"? At first, it might sound like confidence — but dig a little deeper, and it often reveals something much more toxic.In this video, we break down the psychology behind this common manipulation tactic: why people say it, what they're trying to control, and how to recognize the red flags hiding in plain sight.Whether it's a partner, friend, or even a boss using this line — let's talk about what it really means and how to protect yourself.

This episode was recorded at the 2025 Florida Ruminant Nutrition Symposium. Microbial protein has always been Dr. Frikins' main interest. It's the most important and consistent source of protein for the cow, with a very high amino acid content. Histidine is the only exception, but bypass protein sources high in histidine complement microbial protein well. Our assessment of microbial protein is all based on prediction models. In his presentation, Dr. Firkins talked about what we can do to have consistently high microbial protein production and how to make the best use of the models. He touched on starch and fat content as two areas of focus, emphasizing a balanced diet to achieve a balanced supply of microbial protein. (5:36)Dr. Firkins notes that about 90% of the bacteria in the rumen can't be cultured, and there is great diversity in the rumen. There's a core group of bacteria that almost every cow has that are really good at their job because they've been co-selected along with the cow for fiber digestion. The panel discusses how much the microbiome changes over time, host interactions with the microbial population, and inoculation of calves at birth and weaning. (8:47)Dr. De Souza and Dr. Faciola talk about starch associative effects and their impacts on fiber digestibility, how sugars impact the rumen and butyrate production, and the importance of butyrate in de novo milk fat synthesis. Dr. Frikins hypothesizes that when sugars improve fiber digestibility, the sugar stimulates how fiber digesters do their job. Some studies have shown an increase in rumen pH when sugars are supplemented, which may be part of the mechanism of improved fiber digestibility. However, he doesn't recommend using sugars when there is a lot of starch in the diet. (13:38)Dr. Faciola and Dr. Firkins discuss some of the finer points of the dietary starch and fiber digestibility relationship. What are you replacing when you add more starch? What is the proper amount of effective fiber in higher-starch diets? On the other hand, if you decrease starch a little bit, there might be more room for fat. Well-managed cows with adequate effective fiber can probably handle more starch. Dr. Firkins underlines that starch is more digestible than fiber and thus supports microbial protein, but an optimum level is desirable, perhaps 28-20%. (20:37)The panel talks about microbial growth efficiency and the energy-spilling mechanisms some bacteria have. Some models suggest that starch-digesting bacteria have higher maintenance energy requirements. The group then pivots to methane production and available feed additives marketed to reduce methane. Dr. Firkins notes that there is quite a bit of variability in the additives. He emphasizes that if we're using these products, we need to know and measure what's in them and have them be consistent. This is challenging due not only to variability in product, but also rumen adaptation. Dr. Firkins also reminds the audience that improving the cow's efficiency in general in a variety of ways will lead to a smaller environmental footprint. This can range from improving reproductive efficiency to understanding differences in the microbiome of cows who emit more or less methane and trying to shift microbial populations to those with lower emissions. (23:12)Dr. De Souza and Dr. Firkins discuss fatty acid supplementation and fiber digestion relationships. Dr. Firkins explains that in the microbiology literature, it's common to culture bacteria in a simple or complex medium, then add yeast culture. Interestingly, the yeast culture contains a lot of palmitic acid, which has been shown to improve fiber digestibility. He suggests the cell membrane of the bacteria is very critical. When fat supplementation depresses fiber digestibility, he suspects it's disrupting the bacterial membrane. Dr. De Souza recommends 1-2% palmitic acid in the diet for optimal results. (33:58)The panel touches on the importance and relevance of in vitro fermentation work, why histidine is the limiting amino acid in microbial protein, and Dr. Firkins' passion for protozoa. (43:08)Panelists share their take-home thoughts.
