What if you were introduced to digital scarcity before bitcoin even existed? In this episode, we sit down with Anil Patel, author of The Bitcoin Handbook and creator of widely shared bitcoin graphics featured in Michael Saylor keynotes. Anil shares how selling concert tickets sparked his early understanding of scarcity, and how that insight shaped his approach to bitcoin. We discuss his take on bitcoin's future as a store of value, treasury asset, and sovereign protection tool, and why he believes bitcoin's price will rise forever. Anil unpacks his journey from pitching bitcoin to MBA classmates in 2013 to now building educational content that simplifies complex ideas. We explore the rise of bitcoin treasury companies, how centralized platforms differ from bitcoin's ethos, and the enduring value of reading and low time preference in a distracted world.SUPPORT THE PODCAST:→ Subscribe→ Leave a review→ Share the show with your friends and family→ Send us an email podcast@unchained.com→ Learn more about Unchained: https://unchained.com/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=TBF-podcast-description→ Book a free call with a bitcoin expert: https://unchained.com/consultation?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=TBF-podcast-description→ Read Joe Burnett's new report, Repricing the Economy in Bitcoin: https://www.unchained.com/go/repricing-the-economy-in-bitcoin?utm_campaign=strivereport&utm_medium=podcast&utm_source=tbf&utm_content=youtubeTIMESTAMPS:0:00 - Intro  1:09 - Anil's early digital scarcity insight from concert ticketing  5:12 - Why bitcoin will go up forever, according to Anil  12:07 - Building a personal and family bitcoin reserve  14:18 - Bitcoin treasury companies vacuuming up supply  16:17 - Pitching bitcoin to his MBA class in 2013  23:32 - Evolving bitcoin education and content creation  29:22 - Why early bitcoiners understood digital scarcity  32:16 - Sovereignty vs number go up—why both matter  40:16 - Mental models and heuristics to cut through noise  43:08 - Innovation is accelerating—so is bitcoin's upside WHERE TO FOLLOW US:→ Unchained X: https://twitter.com/unchained→ Unchained Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/company/unchainedcom → Unchained Newsletter: https://unchained.com/newsletter → Joe Burnett's Twitter: https://twitter.com/IIICapital→ Jose Burgos (Director of Media Production) on Twitter: https://x.com/DeFBeD→ Anil Patel's Twitter: https://x.com/anilsaidso

Insbesondere bei der Produktion von medialem Content bergen KI-Tools weitreichende Potentiale. Über Anwendungen der sogenannten generativen KI lassen sich durch geschicktes Pompting oft überraschend gute Ergebnisse erzielen. Viele Medienproduzent*innen erkennen aber weniger die damit verbundenen Möglichkeiten; sie sehen vielmehr ihre Geschäftsmodelle und Existenzgrundlage in Gefahr. Zurecht? Darüber wollen wir in der aktuellen Folge von "ISM Perspectives on..." mit den beiden Medienexperten Prof. Dr. Marcus Simon und Daniel Khafif diskutieren. Besonders soll es dabei um die Frage gehen, welches neue Kompetenzprofil zukünftig von Medienschaffenden verlangt sein wird und wie dieses von Hochschulen vermittelt werden kann.

What does the future of freeskiing look like? And who is working to shape that future?Today, Luke Koppa talks with James Woods (aka Woodsy) about how he and fellow pro skiers, Ferdinand Dahl and Oystein Braaten, founded Jib League to fill voids that they were noticing in the freeskiing world.

What if bitcoin treasury companies become the most powerful corporations of the next decade? In this episode, we're joined by Sam Callahan to explore how lightning adoption, corporate strategy, and macro uncertainty are reshaping the global economy. Sam explains why companies like Strategy are pioneering a new capital structure based on bitcoin, how BTC-native yield on the Lightning Network could disrupt traditional finance, and why institutions are finally waking up to sound money. We cover everything from regulatory arbitrage and ETF flows to lightning yield flywheels, safe haven behavior, and the future of corporate balance sheets.

Bitcoin's volatility is falling—and Trace Mayer thinks that may signal the end of its wealth creation era. In this episode, we sit down with early bitcoin investor and proof of keys holiday founder Trace Mayer to unpack where we are in bitcoin's lifecycle and what comes next. Trace breaks down his recent debate with Peter Schiff, explaining why subjective value theory and entrepreneurship are at the heart of bitcoin's superiority over gold. We explore bitcoin's declining volatility, why Strategy's strategy may be riskier than it looks, and how bitcoin financialization is accelerating faster than expected. Trace also shares why proof of reserves matters, the long-term risk of custodial centralization, and how legal frameworks might evolve to protect against contentious forks.SUPPORT THE PODCAST:→ Subscribe→ Leave a review→ Share the show with your friends and family→ Send us an email podcast@unchained.com→ Learn more about Unchained: https://unchained.com/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=TBF-podcast-description→ Book a free call with a bitcoin expert: https://unchained.com/consultation?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=TBF-podcast-description→ Read Joe Burnett's new report, Repricing the Economy in Bitcoin: https://www.unchained.com/go/repricing-the-economy-in-bitcoin?utm_campaign=strivereport&utm_medium=podcast&utm_source=tbf&utm_content=youtubeTIMESTAMPS:0:00 - Intro1:24 - Debating Peter Schiff on sound money and bitcoin5:44 - Why Satoshi was a monetary entrepreneur10:07 - Bitcoin vs gold: scarcity, portability, and use cases20:36 - The light side vs dark side of investing with bitcoin23:18 - Saylor's strategy: capital gains vs cash flow28:01 - Bitcoin volatility is declining—is the wealth creation phase over?33:45 - The financialization of bitcoin is accelerating40:01 - Global instability, geopolitics, and bitcoin49:46 - Capital controls: bitcoin's roleWHERE TO FOLLOW US:→ Unchained X: https://twitter.com/unchained→ Unchained Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/company/unchainedcom → Unchained Newsletter: https://unchained.com/newsletter → Joe Burnett's Twitter: https://twitter.com/IIICapital→ Jose Burgos (Director of Media Production) on Twitter: https://x.com/DeFBeD→ Trace Mayer's Twitter: https://x.com/TraceMayer

Bitcoin might still be wildly undervalued—and Adam Back explains why. In this episode, we sit down with Adam Back, CEO of Blockstream, early cypherpunk, and inventor of hashcash, the proof-of-work system that inspired bitcoin mining. Adam shares the story of receiving the first known email from Satoshi Nakamoto, why he didn't buy bitcoin until it hit $100, and how early ideas like b-money and bit gold shaped Satoshi's breakthrough. We explore the importance of a fixed supply, why halvings still move the market, and how doubt keeps bitcoin underpriced. Adam weighs in on treasury adoption, supply shocks, and whether this cycle could break the diminishing returns theory. We also discuss volatility, long-term thinking, and the $100 trillion opportunity bitcoin is unlocking.SUPPORT THE PODCAST:→ Subscribe→ Leave a review→ Share the show with your friends and family→ Send us an email podcast@unchained.com→ Learn more about Unchained: https://unchained.com/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=TBF-podcast-description→ Book a free call with a bitcoin expert: https://unchained.com/consultation?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=TBF-podcast-description→ Read Joe Burnett's new report, Repricing the Economy in Bitcoin: https://www.unchained.com/go/repricing-the-economy-in-bitcoin?utm_campaign=strivereport&utm_medium=podcast&utm_source=tbf&utm_content=youtubeTIMESTAMPS:0:00 - Intro1:00 - Why selling bitcoin is like playing against a rigged casino7:38 - Why Adam didn't buy bitcoin until it hit $10010:11 - Realizing bitcoin had bootstrapped into something real13:35 - The underrated role of Nick Szabo, Wei Dai, and Hal Finney19:24 - Why the 2008 financial crisis was perfect timing for bitcoin22:32 - Is bitcoin drifting from its cypherpunk roots?26:01 - How doubt keeps bitcoin undervalued27:52 - Why $10 million bitcoin is still possible31:19 - Why volatility makes bitcoin hard to sell36:36 - Why halvings still impact the price despite being predictable42:35 - Why this cycle could invalidate the diminishing returns theory46:14 - The global unbanked: a $100 trillion bitcoin market48:12 - The 200-week moving average as a price floor50:10 - Price reflexivity: why people buy because it's going up53:07 - The shrinking tradable supply and why halvings still matterWHERE TO FOLLOW US:→ Unchained X: https://twitter.com/unchained→ Unchained Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/company/unchainedcom → Unchained Newsletter: https://unchained.com/newsletter → Joe Burnett's Twitter: https://twitter.com/IIICapital→ Jose Burgos (Director of Media Production) on Twitter: https://x.com/DeFBeD→ Adam Back's Twitter: https://x.com/adam3us

Vijay breaks down four frameworks for valuing bitcoin, explains why gold parity is almost inevitable, and outlines how ETFs and corporate treasury strategies are reshaping adoption. We talk through HODL waves, why the current price action still feels boring, and what it might take to push bitcoin to $10mm+ per coin. Vijay also discusses quantum computing and AI as emerging risks, the importance of ossification, and how a future of abundance may still require sound money.

What if bitcoin could spark a nuclear renaissance? In this episode, we're joined by Ryan, better known as Nuclear Bitcoiner, to explore the intersection of nuclear energy and bitcoin. Ryan shares how bitcoin aligns with long-term infrastructure like small modular reactors and how it may reshape the economics of power generation. We walk through the advantages of nuclear over wind and solar, the implications of AI and data center demand, and how microgrids could decentralize the future energy landscape. Ryan also breaks down fusion vs. fission, the role of hash rate flexibility, and why nation-states will inevitably compete for mining dominance. From financing nuclear with bitcoin bonds to rethinking scarcity itself, this episode offers a forward-looking view of energy, incentives, and acceleration.SUPPORT THE PODCAST:→ Subscribe→ Leave a review→ Share the show with your friends and family→ Send us an email podcast@unchained.com→ Learn more about Unchained: https://unchained.com/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=TBF-podcast-description→ Book a free call with a bitcoin expert: https://unchained.com/consultation?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=TBF-podcast-description→ Learn why every business will buy bitcoin: https://unchained.com/frontierTIMESTAMPS:00:00 - Intro01:01 - Why Ryan became the nuclear bitcoin03:03 - How bitcoin mining fits perfectly with nuclear microgrids06:36 - Why nuclear beats wind and solar on resilience11:32 - Can small nuclear reactors decentralize the grid?14:11 - The AI and data center energy boom is bullish for nuclear16:24 - Why Microsoft wants to own a nuclear plant20:02 - Bitcoin may fix nuclear financing22:43 - How radiation is misunderstood—and actually saves lives25:14 - What's the difference between nuclear fusion and fission?27:33 - The myth of “cheap” wind and solar energy30:09 - Bitcoin mining adds unmatched flexibility to the grid36:25 - Could bitcoin mining one day use more energy than the world does today?41:05 - Why perfect scarcity is so hard to understand44:51 - How bitcoin bonds could revolutionize nuclear financing52:30 - Final thoughts on bitcoin, nation-states, and the future of energyWHERE TO FOLLOW US:→ Unchained X: https://twitter.com/unchained→ Unchained Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/company/unchainedcom → Unchained Newsletter: https://unchained.com/newsletter → Joe Burnett's Twitter: https://twitter.com/IIICapital→ Jose Burgos (Director of Media Production) on Twitter: https://x.com/DeFBeD→ Nuclear Bitcoiner's Twitter: https://x.com/NuclearBitcoinr

In this episode, Eleanor talks to Alexander Thomas, a filmmaker and academic who leads the BA in Media Production at the University of East London. They discuss his new book about transhumanism, a philosophical movement that aims to improve human capabilities through technology and whose followers includes Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk, Larry Page, and also apparently the DJ Steve Aoki. Alex is himself one of the foremost commentators on transhumanism. He explores transhumanist fantasies about the future of the human, is obsessed with the extremes of possibility: they either think that AI will bring us radical abundance or total extinction. Transhumanism, Alexander says in this episode, reduces life down to information processing and intelligence, which amounts to a kind of IQ fetishism.

Arthur is probably best remembered for his mutton chops and as a trivia question.  But he did play a surprising role as a reformer when the nation was in the grips of political corruption.  And the story of how he found the courage to do so holds some lessons for how we might interact with political power today in hopes of a better tomorrow.   Joining Saving Elephants host Josh Lewis is Destry Edwards to discuss his new documentary Dear Mr. President: The Letters of Julia Sand, and how a single citizen can have an outsized effect on our political system.   About Destry Edwards Destry Edwards is the Media Production and Studio Manager at the Competitive Enterprise Institute. With a passion for both film and politics, Destry seeks to use storytelling as a way to bridge the gap between people and policy. He is a native of the great state of South Carolina. Before coming on with CEI, Destry's background includes time at FreedomWorks and Blaze Media. Destry holds a Bachelor of Science in Cinema Production from Bob Jones University.   About the Documentary   In 1881, following President James Garfield's assassination, the country was in turmoil. Many suspected Vice President Chester Arthur, a long-time beneficiary of the spoils system, to be a party to the plot and dreaded his ascension to the presidency. In the immediate aftermath—and before the height of the women's suffrage movement—New Yorker Julia Sand wrote to the soon-to-be President. Between August 1881 and September 1883, Sand penned 23 letters to President Arthur imploring him to abandon his corrupt machinations, become the leader the country deserved, and champion civil service reform.  The Competitive Enterprise Institute proudly presents the documentary Dear Mr. President: The Letters of Julia Sand to discover the outsized effect a single citizen can have on our political system.   You can watch the full documentary on the streaming platform SalemNow.  

What happens when a former underground miner and Navy fighter pilot goes all in on bitcoin? In this episode, we sit down with George Bodine to find out. George shares his unique journey—from hauling rock beneath the earth to flying jets—and how it led him to see bitcoin as the only escape from a broken monetary system. We explore his view on inflation, the collapse of the American dream, and why he believes bitcoin could reach $2.4 million by 2030. George breaks down the risks of yield products, the role of ETFs and MicroStrategy, and the repeal of SAB 121. He shares his thoughts on Tether and 21 Capital, the rise of the national strategic bitcoin reserve, and the possibility of sovereign accumulation. We close with a thoughtful discussion on whether bitcoin is ultimately for optimists or pessimists—and his message to the next generation.SUPPORT THE PODCAST:→ Subscribe→ Leave a review→ Share the show with your friends and family→ Send us an email podcast@unchained.com→ Learn more about Unchained: https://unchained.com/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=TBF-podcast-description→ Book a free call with a bitcoin expert: https://unchained.com/consultation?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=TBF-podcast-description→ Watch the video premiere of Bitcoin, Not Crypto: https://unchained.com/frontierTIMESTAMPS:0:00 - Intro1:14 - From underground miner to Navy pilot to Delta captain4:17 - Realizing you can't outrun fiat money after the GFC6:57 - Living through Nixon's gold shock and the petrodollar pivot9:06 - Why gold bugs are future bitcoiners12:51 - Will young people be locked out of owning meaningful bitcoin?16:49 - A volatile but hopeful transfer of wealth to ethical builders18:59 - Coinbase yield product and the future of bitcoin financial services27:52 - Tether, 21 Capital, and Strategy30:19 - SAB 121, stablecoin legislation, and the national strategic reserve46:51 - Bitcoiners will inherit the world50:11 - TradFi anger, denial, and inability to accept yield-less assets01:05:28 - Will art improve on a bitcoin standard?WHERE TO FOLLOW US:→ Unchained X: https://twitter.com/unchained→ Unchained Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/company/unchainedcom → Unchained Newsletter: https://unchained.com/newsletter → Joe Burnett's Twitter: https://twitter.com/IIICapital→ Jose Burgos (Director of Media Production) on Twitter: https://x.com/DeFBeD→ George Bodine's Twitter: https://x.com/Jethroe111

What if bitcoin really is decoupling from the stock market? In this episode, we're joined by Rational Root, creator of the Bitcoin Strategy Platform and one of the top on-chain cycle analysts in the space. We explore whether macro chaos and rising gold prices are setting the stage for bitcoin to chart its own path. Root breaks down how the 4-year cycle could break, what historical data says about the current inflection point, and why he believes institutional flows are quietly limiting downside volatility. He also shares his custom spiral and 3D valuation charts, how to track hype in the market, and why 100k bitcoin might be harder to break than most think.SUPPORT THE PODCAST:→ Subscribe→ Leave a review→ Share the show with your friends and family→ Send us an email podcast@unchained.com→ Learn more about Unchained: https://unchained.com/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=TBF-podcast-description→ Book a free call with a bitcoin expert: https://unchained.com/consultation?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=TBF-podcast-description→ Buy bitcoin in an IRA—sign up today and get your first year free: unchained.com/frontier→ Watch the video premiere of Bitcoin, Not Crypto: https://unchained.com/frontierTIMESTAMPS:0:00 - Intro1:06 - Why bitcoin's fundamentals have never looked better4:20 - Could macro chaos trigger bitcoin's decoupling?10:06 - Bitcoin trades on optimism, gold trades on fear17:09 - Is gold's rise setting up bitcoin's breakout?22:01 - Will the next recession break the 4-year cycle?30:23 - Why 100k bitcoin may face resistance36:09 - The 3D chart that could predict the cycle top44:10 - Bitcoin's floor price keeps rising50:23 - Will bitcoin crack 100k or break down?WHERE TO FOLLOW US:→ Unchained X: https://twitter.com/unchained→ Unchained Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/company/unchainedcom → Unchained Newsletter: https://unchained.com/newsletter → Joe Burnett's Twitter: https://twitter.com/IIICapital→ Jose Burgos (Director of Media Production) on Twitter: https://x.com/DeFBeD→ Rational Root's Twitter: https://x.com/therationalroot

We start by discussing what transhumanism is, its tenets, different kinds of transhumanism, enhancement, hierarchy and elitism, and arguments against transhumanism. We delve into advanced capitalism, longtermism, accelerationism, effective altruism, TESCREALism, the politics of transhumanism, and eugenics. We also talk about data totalitarianism, the consequences of a cybernetic approach to the human mind, artificial general intelligence (AGI), and posthumanism. We discuss whether transhumanism can be a religious movement.

In this episode, we dive into bitcoin's impact on the future global monetary order with Natalie Smolenski, an anthropologist and bitcoiner. We discuss her thoughts on how bitcoin challenges the state's monopoly on currency, invoking Karl Marx's unexpected agreement that gold, a commodity, originally embodied money—not the state-minted currencies. Natalie explains her fascination with the concept of the invaluable—elements of culture and society that transcend monetary value—and how bitcoin fits in today's culture. We also tackle bitcoin's role as a deflationary currency in contrast to fiat's inflationary tendencies, highlighting its potential to redefine economic and social hierarchies.

We compare his approach to Microstrategy's aggressive accumulation, explore AI's role in disrupting traditional business models, and discuss whether AI and bitcoin together could decentralize the world.SUPPORT THE PODCAST:→ Subscribe→ Leave a review→ Share the show with your friends and family→ Send us an email podcast@unchained.com→ Learn more about Unchained: https://unchained.com/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=TBF-podcast-description→ Book a free call with a bitcoin expert: https://unchained.com/consultation?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=TBF-podcast-description→ Buy bitcoin in an IRA—sign up today and get your first year free: unchained.com/frontierTIMESTAMPS:0:00 - Intro1:01 - Why drew moved his company to a bitcoin standard3:46 - The bear market forced a critical decision5:28 - How bitcoin saved the company from collapse7:11 - Using bitcoin as a hurdle rate for business spending9:05 - How employees reacted to the bitcoin strategy12:42 - How bitcoin aligns with long-term company culture18:17 - Comparing microstrategy's strategy to a private business23:15 - Will more businesses adopt a bitcoin-first strategy?25:30 - AI is accelerating faster than expected29:56 - Why AI gives small companies an edge over big corporations32:35 - Can bitcoin and AI decentralize the world?35:41 - Will AI accelerate hyperbitcoinization?45:00 - The biggest risk to bitcoin's future57:15 - Where to find DrewWHERE TO FOLLOW US:→ Unchained Twitter: https://twitter.com/unchainedcom→ Unchained Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/company/unchainedcom → Unchained Newsletter: https://unchained.com/newsletter → Joe Burnett's Twitter: https://twitter.com/IIICapital→ Jose Burgos (Director of Media Production) on Twitter: https://x.com/DeFBeD→ Drew D'Agoostino's Twitter: https://x.com/DrewDAgostino

This episode was recorded moments before the U.S. made its biggest financial decision since 1971. In this episode, we sit down with Bryan Jacoutot, attorney and bitcoin policy expert, to break down the push for a U.S. strategic bitcoin reserve.

This is certainly not the case for my guests Alex and Marta from Barcelona. They contend that many young people are passionate about global issues, and are eager and enthusiastic for opportunities to be part of the solution. As high school students, they identified a challenge for young people in getting connected with NGOs, and other organizations that lead impactful, sustainable work in our communities. They, along with their colleagues at HelpUp, decided to take action and do something about this. They have created the app, HelpUp, to connect young people with NGOs to create opportunities for meaningful volunteer work. Join me as they discuss their experience and learning as entrepreneurs, their international recognition, and their aspirations for the future. Discover a transformative podcast on education and learning from a student perspective and student voice, exploring media, media literacy, and media production to inspire citizens in schools through a media lab focused on 21st-century learning, empathy to impact, Global citizenship, collaboration, systems thinking, service learning, PBL, CAS, MYP, PYP, DP, Service as Action, futures thinking, project-based learning, sustainability, well-being, harmony with nature, community engagement, experiential learning, and the role of teachers and teaching in fostering well-being and a better future.

Could bitcoin mining reshape the global energy grid? In this episode, we sit down with Zach Bradford, CEO and President of CleanSpark, to uncover how mining and energy industries are converging. Zach shares how stoicism influences his leadership, why CleanSpark navigated past bull and bear cycles so effectively, and his take on whether bitcoin will ever see another 80% drawdown. We discuss the risks of market euphoria, how SAB 121 could open the floodgates for institutional adoption, and why nation-states may begin accumulating serious amounts of bitcoin. Zach also explains CleanSpark's distributed mining strategy, the future of energy integration, and how bitcoin could ultimately transform global trade and finance.SUPPORT THE PODCAST:→ Subscribe→ Leave a review→ Share the show with your friends and family→ Send us an email podcast@unchained.com→ Learn more about Unchained: https://unchained.com/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=TBF-podcast-description→ Book a free call with a bitcoin expert: https://unchained.com/consultation?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=TBF-podcast-description→ Buy bitcoin in an IRA—sign up today and get your first year free: unchained.com/frontierTIMESTAMPS:0:00 - Intro1:00 - How stoicism shapes bitcoin mining leadership5:09 - Will bitcoin ever see another 80% drawdown?7:29 - Strategy over ideology in bitcoin mining9:34 - How CleanSpark capitalized on the bull and bear cycles13:39 - Is the market too euphoric right now?16:20 - How SAB 121 could change the financial system18:10 - Will bitcoin mining and energy industries fully converge?21:44 - Could bitcoin mining fundamentally disrupt the power industry?25:36 - Bitcoin as digital gold or digital capital?30:40 - Why nation-states are accumulating bitcoin32:26 - Will the United States adopt a strategic bitcoin reserve?37:34 - How CleanSpark balances short-term execution with long-term vision42:31 - Why CleanSpark focuses on efficiency over size46:00 - The unexpected second-order effects of bitcoinWHERE TO FOLLOW US:→ Unchained Twitter: https://twitter.com/unchainedcom→ Unchained LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/unchainedcom → Unchained Newsletter: https://unchained.com/newsletter → Joe Burnett (Host) on Twitter: https://twitter.com/IIICapital→ Jose Burgos (Director of Media Production) on Twitter: https://x.com/DeFBeD→ Zach Bradford on Twitter: https://x.com/ZachKBradford

This is the 'Free Content' version of this interview, the full episode can be found at my Patreon: www.patreon.com/RejectedReligion My guests this month are Dr. Sarah Perez and Dr. Cavan McLaughlin.Sarah is a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Bern. While her previous research focused on early modern pamphlet about deathbed visions, she is currently working on contemporary spirituality with a focus on eco- and online-spirituality as well as youth culture.Cavan McLaughlin is a Senior Lecturer in Media Production at the University of the West of England (UWE), with research interests related to the role and function of occulture. Editor of the volume Trans- States: The Art of Crossing Over (2019), Cavan has also published on Crowley, esotericism and narrativity, open-source occultism, and contemporary occulture. Having recently defended a practice-based PhD entitled ‘Occultural Production as Re-Vision and Weird Worlding, they remain a practicing filmmaker, artist, and all-around creative media practitioner. As a media professional of over twenty years, Cavan has been involved in almost all aspects of audiovisual production, specializing in video art, music videos, and visual poetry. Cavan is the founder and Chair of Trans- States (trans-states.org); co-founder and Editor-in-Chief of Monad: Journal of Occultural Studies (monadjournal.com); and, a trustee of the Research Network for the Study of Esoteric Practices (www.rensep.org). Cavan has a profound affection for cows, fungi, and rainbows. This is a discussion that I have wanted to have since the last ESSWE 9 Conference in 2023. In the session “Creativity and Occultural Production” I attended, Cavan and Sarah presented some very interesting papers. I also presented on another day about my research regarding tulpas and Otherkin, and as Cavan and Sarah's topics were in this general area as well, I thought to myself, how wonderful it would be if we could get together and talk about all of this in more detail.We each take turns talking a bit about our own projects, and from there, the discussion leads into sharing our insights and the interconnectivity of our individual research, and how underrepresented this is within academia. Some key concepts that came forward were: imagination, mind/consciousness, Cavan's term ‘alienated agency', power dynamics, new materialisms (inspired by Donna Haraway and Karen Barad), and serious play. We also discuss how other-than-human cultures overlap with neurodivergence and gender, as well as the importance of being ethically responsible (as researchers) and being cognizant of this very normal diversity in expression.   Theme Music and Editing: Daniel P.

We break down the implications of the US dollar's structural weaknesses, the potential for a Plaza Accord 2.0, and the role of tariffs in reshaping global trade. Jeff explains why he believes bitcoin will surpass gold, how corporations are beginning to embrace bitcoin on their balance sheets, and whether a major tech company like Meta could be next.
