The real moral corruption is allowing a fantasy national identity known as "Palestinian" to justify perpetual war and genocide.
Dr. Allison House and Shawn Zajas, discuss the uncomfortable relationship many healthcare providers have with "sales" and why it's actually a moral obligation to effectively communicate treatment options to patients. She explores how dentists must overcome their aversion to being perceived as "salespeople" while recognizing their responsibility to help patients understand possibilities they may not know exist. The conversation delves into pricing psychology, the importance of genuine belief in what you're offering, and how proper value communication leads to better patient outcomes. Dr. House emphasizes that effective "selling" in healthcare isn't about manipulation but about helping patients envision and achieve better health outcomes they might not realize are possible.
From Perfectionism to Progress: Embracing Imperfect ActionWelcome back to another episode of Roots to Riches, where natural healing meets unstoppable success. I'm your host, Justin Benton, and today I wanted to share a special segment from our Grateful Share Monday meetings, which we hold every Monday for the Miracle Plant community.In this episode, I delve into a conversation with a wonderful woman named Laura, who has been conducting beach yoga sessions for about seven years. I originally encouraged her to start these sessions and even sponsored her for many years. Recently, I've been motivating her to record her sessions and share them on YouTube, despite her initial resistance and feelings of imperfection.During our chat, I emphasized the importance of taking imperfect action and the difference between wisdom and knowledge. True wisdom comes from doing, not just knowing. I shared insights from my friend Russell's podcast journey, highlighting how he found his voice after many episodes and how no one is perfect at the start.I also discussed the concept of emotional sobriety, which involves maintaining control over one's emotions regardless of external circumstances. I shared my commitment to journaling as a method to achieve this state and maintain a grateful and joyous mindset.Throughout the episode, I aimed to inspire and motivate listeners to take action, share their unique gifts, and not let perfectionism hold them back. Whether it's through personal development, health, wealth, or relationships, the key is to keep pushing forward and sharing what we know to help others.Thank you for joining me on this journey. Let's continue to unlock ancient wisdom to boost our health and wealth, and together, we can transform our lives and the world around us.Stay tuned for more insights and inspiration in the next episode of Roots to Riches.ASK THIS EPISODE ANYTHING TIMESTAMPS00:00:09 - 00:00:41 - The Importance of Experience Over Knowledge00:00:41 - 00:01:03 - Introduction to Roots to Riches Podcast00:01:03 - 00:01:24 - Grateful Share Monday Meetings00:01:24 - 00:01:56 - Encouraging Imperfect Action00:01:56 - 00:02:28 - Overcoming Resistance to Recording00:02:28 - 00:03:10 - Asking for Permission to Share Opinions00:03:10 - 00:03:42 - Mission to Heal the World00:03:42 - 00:04:08 - Laura's Beach Yoga Recording Update00:04:08 - 00:04:49 - Offering Advice and Encouragement00:04:49 - 00:05:21 - Finding Your Voice Through Practice00:05:21 - 00:06:15 - Wisdom Comes from Doing00:06:15 - 00:06:48 - Moral Obligation to Share Knowledge00:06:48 - 00:07:20 - Shifting Focus from Self to Others00:07:20 - 00:08:14 - Laura's 20 Years of Yoga Experience00:08:14 - 00:09:07 - The Movie Lucy and Passing on Knowledge00:09:07 - 00:10:01 - The Legacy of Sharing Knowledge00:10:01 - 00:11:06 - Overcoming Awkwardness and Anxiety00:11:06 - 00:12:05 - The Importance of Hitting Record00:12:05 - 00:13:16 - Helping Others Through Sharing00:13:16 - 00:14:15 - Vulnerability and Rawness00:14:15 - 00:15:10 - Emotional Sobriety and Journaling00:15:10 - 00:16:16 - Maintaining Emotional Sobriety00:16:16 - 00:17:00 - The Role of Grateful Share Meetings00:17:00 - 00:18:05 - The Hunt for Optimal State00:18:05 - 00:19:10 - Controlling Your Response to External Events00:19:10 - 00:20:03 - Commitment to Journaling00:20:03 - 00:20:35 - Passing on Knowledge Before It's Too Late00:20:35 - 00:21:28 - Overcoming Perfectionism00:21:28 - 00:22:19 - The Importance of Sharing Skills00:22:19 - 00:23:03 - Laura's Indoor Yoga Options00:23:03 - 00:24:17 - Balancing Family and Personal Growth00:24:17 - 00:25:11 - Gratitude for Life and Opportunities Thank you for tuning in to the Miracle Plant Podcast.

The moral obligation to thrive encourages us to see personal growth as part of a larger tapestry. When we thrive, we're not just serving ourselves—we're elevating our families, communities, and even the world. It's a call to step into our fullest potential, not just because we can, but because the world needs it. Our guest today is Rachel White, an unapologetic, skeptical shaman who also hosts a podcast by the same name, and she is making waves as an unusual spiritual practitioner. Rachel's fresh, pragmatic and inherently practical take on spiritual and personal development is a hit among the “spiritually homeless.” She is the host of the Skeptical Shaman podcast, owner of the brand TOTEM which includes readings, a tarot deck, a flower essence deck and flower essences curated from her own backyard garden. She is challenging preconceived notions of what it means to “be spiritual”. And we are together today to talk about the moral obligation to THRIVE.

SummaryIn this conversation, Chad Gross interviews Eric Hernandez about the existence of the soul. They discuss the definition of the soul, the relationship between the mind and the brain, and the arguments against physicalism. Eric presents the case for substance dualism and argues that consciousness cannot be reduced to physical properties. They also touch on the panpsychist view of consciousness and its implications. The conversation delves into the philosophy of mind and the implications for atheism and theism. In this conversation, Eric Hernandez discusses the concept of the soul and argues against physicalism and in favor of substance dualism. He presents three arguments for the existence of the soul: identity through change, indivisibility of personhood, and the argument from free will. Hernandez emphasizes that if physicalism is true, determinism is also true, which would undermine moral responsibility and intellectual integrity. He recommends J.P. Moreland's books 'The Soul: How We Know It's Real and Why It Matters' and 'Body and Soul: Human Nature and the Crisis in Ethics' as resources for further study on the philosophy of mind and the soul.TakeawaysThe soul can be defined as an immaterial substance that possesses consciousness and animates the body.Consciousness cannot be reduced to physical properties, and therefore physicalism is false.Panpsychism suggests that consciousness is fundamental to reality and can arise under the right conditions.The arguments surrounding consciousness and the soul have implications for atheism and theism.The philosophy of mind is an important area of study for understanding the nature of consciousness. The concept of the soul is central to understanding human nature and consciousness.Physicalism, the belief that everything is physical, cannot account for the existence of consciousness and free will.Arguments for the existence of the soul include identity through change, indivisibility of personhood, and the argument from free will.If physicalism is true, determinism is also true, which undermines moral responsibility and intellectual integrity.Further study on the philosophy of mind and the soul can be pursued through books by J.P. Moreland.Sound Bites"I don't have a soul, but rather I am a soul and I have a body.""If physicalism is true, consciousness can't exist.""Why not just become a Christian? That's exactly the heart of the Christian worldview.""Philosophy of mind is where it's at and where it's going to be.""I am either an immaterial soul or an immaterial substance.""I am not a purely physical object.

In this episode of The Sales Evangelist podcast, I chat with Brian Town, a top salesperson and marketing firm owner from Michigan. Our discussion focuses on mindset, visualization, and confidence as crucial tools for achieving sales success. Discover his secrets to moving a sales pipeline faster than ever before! Meet Brian Town Brian Town is a sales professional who wears many hats. He is the driving force behind a successful marketing firm collaborating with major organizations to enhance brand visibility. As a seasoned author and the top salesperson in his company, Brian brings a unique blend of expertise and experience. His profound understanding of sales strategies has been instrumental in overcoming common challenges that sales professionals face. Importance of Mindset and Visualization Amid the uncertainties brought on by the pandemic, maintaining a positive mindset has never been more crucial. We discuss the powerful concept of "flick back, flick up." This technique involves recalling a past successful moment to regain composure and confidence during sales pitches. Brian shares anecdotes from his sports and sales experiences, showcasing how visualization has enhanced his performance. The emphasis is clear: visualizing moments of peak performance can significantly boost one's effectiveness in sales. Rejection and Motivation Navigating through rejections is an inherent part of the sales profession. We stress the importance of persistence and finding motivation in the relentless pursuit of closing deals. This understanding fosters a connection with potential clients, enabling sales professionals to move deals through the pipeline more efficiently. Confidence and Belief Brian shares insights from his forthcoming book, "The Lonely CEO," where he outlines strategies for building confidence in sales. He emphasizes the psychological aspect of recalling past successes to fuel present confidence. I reinforce this point by elaborating on how confidence can significantly impact the outcome of sales conversations. Moral Obligation and Client Advocacy We discuss the responsibility of guiding clients away from potentially wrong decisions, even if it means offering free consulting. This principle of client advocacy not only builds trust but also establishes a strong foundation for long-term relationships. "I think the reason, the thing that I found in confidence in selling, is the belief, that simple belief in yourself and your team that you can deliver." - Brian Town.

Podfic Text-to-Speech (TTS) reading of Pigeons, Crisps, and Three Claiming Bites by QuietlemonhushSummary:It wasn't even a proper kidnapping.“This isn't even a proper kidnapping,” Sirius complained. “Shouldn't you have done a ransom note?”The other man—his name was Dale but Sirius was calling him Dirk to be annoying—shot him a look. “Omegas should be seen and not heard, dear,” he said.“Huff my ball sweat,” Sirius said indignantly, and he didn't know if it was because he had been called an omega or called a dear. Both were bad.--A man named Dale kidnaps Sirius and sends a ransom note.

He kept going and continued to make phone calls and didn't let one objection hold him back from making sales. ● For you to overcome the fear of failure, give yourself grace. Yes, you will make mistakes, and potential clients will object to the sale you're offering, but you must keep going.

Corinna Cohn is a software developer living in Indiana who was among the very first teenagers to go on cross-sex hormones in adolescence, at the age of 15 in 1993. He was inducted into a cross-sex identity on the very first transsexual-interest Internet Relay Chat groups in the early 1990's and underwent vaginoplasty at the age of 19. After decades of attempting to live as a woman, he reached an acknowledgment that he insists every other person who undertakes the same quixotic endeavor will eventually acknowledge to be true: “Their sex is what they were born as. Everybody knows if you're born male, you're always male. If you're born female, you're always female. There's no disputing that.” Having made irrevocable choices with his body while too young to understand the lifelong consequences that would flow from it, Cohn continues to take estrogen to this day (tied as he is to the medical leash that all those who undergo transgender medical procedures invariably bind themselves), and prefers to be properly sexed, but will humor those who insist on using the cross-sex pronouns that correspond to the gender presentation that attends a lifetime of estrogen intake. He is an eloquent writer and speaker who has extracted all the wisdom there is to derive from the misadventure on the far end of human extremity on which he launched himself while still a callow, impetuous young man. He has watched with dismay as this misadventure has been normalized and marketed to children by the very authorities that should be protecting them from practices that will do them harm. He has devoted himself to ensuring that no child repeats the mistake he made — one that no child, in his considered judgment, can possibly be competent to make, particularly in the context of a pediatric clinical system that has abandoned all gatekeeping on principle. He has devoted himself to holding at bay the totalitarian overwriting of reality that would have to be executed to make the world safe for such damaged children — a project to which the ruling powers of the Western world have explicitly pledged themselves. We spoke for two and a half hours in July. —Wesley Yang Year Zero is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.Excerpts: On the state of pediatric gender medicine under the affirmative care model “If you'd asked me four years ago, should children be allowed to transition? I would have said, “well, I think that there are some young people, not children, obviously, but young people — maybe 16, maybe even 14, who are so clear that they are so unhappy in their sexed body and have so much dysphoria and have so much dissonance with their bodies, that this might be the best thing for them. I would have said that a few years ago. I still believe that we might find that there are some diagnostic criteria that give us some confidence that somebody who's a 16 year old might have a better life experience starting this. But I don't believe that there's a single practicing gender clinician, or gender therapist or gender affirming social worker — I don't believe that there's a single person who's practicing right now…Let me let me put it that way. There might be people here and there. There is nobody who's part of a functioning system anywhere in the United States, where a young person can be exposed to this in a way that centers the needs of that young person. There's not a functioning system anywhere.” The Moral Obligation that the Affirmative Care Model ShirksWesley: Can we muster the authority to say, “No, this isn't good for you. And we're allowed to say that, and that's actually our duty.”Corinna: It is our duty. That is our duty! We owe others. We have social responsibilities. We owe others. And for these young people, we owe them protection and we owe them the truth. They deserve it.”What's Really at Stake It's so frustrating. It is so frustrating, because anybody who's an adult, ought to be able to understand how much agency a child's house. And they ought to be able to understand how much pressure — we used to understand this thing called “peer pressure.” We used to understand social pressure. We're just completely discounting that and going, “oh, they're autonomous, they have autonomy, they've got embodiment goals, they're tiny, little adults making these decisions, who are we to tell them what their identity should be?'“Like, you sons of bitches let these kids get medicine, get have hormones, have surgery that fucks up their bodies in ways that is going to make it…Here's the bottom line. For a lot of these young people, it is going to be very difficult for them to find loving, long term partners, because you have fucked up their bodies in ways that are going to complicate relationships. A lot of them are going to be able to do it. A lot of them are not. Chances are, they're going to be a lot worse than they would have been if you hadn't fucked with their bodies.And there's no way that you can take all of the success stories — because there will be out of the out of 10,000 or 100,000 kids that you're doing this to, of course, there's going to be some success stories. But you're gonna grab them and say, nevermind that behind the curtain these kids who've killed themselves, whose lives are devastated, who are lonely, who are by themselves, who feel like they're outcasts. Nevermind all of them. Look at look at these brilliant people.” On Giving Up on an Impossible Dream Corinna: “There used to be a festival called the women, Michigan Women's Music Festival. And I'd been invited to go to that. And I did some research and saw that it was women only. And I was okay with that. I was like, “All right, I don't want to create a stir. This is their rules. I want to abide by their rules.” But you know, now I need a pretext not to go. But when I was researching that, I learned that there were some feminists who really, really hated trans people. I think there are some who do.I wanted to learn a little bit more about that point of view, because I was like, “there are so many things that we have in common as people who are marginalized by men. Like, why are we enemies?” So I started researching that, and I had more conversations with feminists. And one of them challenged me and said, basically, she said, “Why do you believe that you are an exceptional member of class woman instead of an exceptional member of class, man?” And I was like, “I don't have an answer. Like, how dare you? Let me think about that, though. And I did. I thought about that a lot. And I was like, I am a male.”Wesley: “So a TERF made a rational argument and persuaded you…”Corinna: “That's your language. I will never call her a turf. I have a ton of admiration for her.”Wesley: Okay. A feminist who does not recognize the claims of transgenderism made a rational argument, stumped you, and persuaded you that “yeah, I'm a man.” Rational argument is not usually the way these things are settled. Corinna: She invited me to make my irrational argument. And I was like, “I can't. This is fundamentally irrational. And I found myself in this cul-de-sac. And I was like, I have to turn around and leave here.”On the Coming Surge of DetransitionHere's what the trans people don't realize, and they ought to. The signs of this are so clear that it's shocking to me that they don't understand. I've understood this for a long time. I had no idea who Chloe Cole was. But I knew that a Chloe Cole was coming. The young woman who filed this newest lawsuit, I don't remember her name, but I didn't know who she was. But I knew that she was coming. In every single state where there's a gender clinic, there's going to be another Chloe Cole. Every single state that there's a gender clinic, there's going to be another Chloe Cole. It's going to be a riot. And when you've got 50, or 150, or 350, or 500 litigants…trying all of these different theories to try to make these poor kids whole again…one of them is going to crack. And then it's going to be over. It is going to be completely over. That's inevitable. But just because it's inevitable doesn't mean that we shouldn't try to run ahead of that, and still prevent more victims in the future.On the Inherently Totalitarian Character of the Demands Issuing from the Transgender MovementWhen I participate in this, when I fight against it, do you see why say it's not a choice for me? I cannot imagine a world where I do not try to prevent what you're talking about from happening to all of us. It's not only about protecting the kids. Sure, that's a very important part of it. This sort of totalitarian, absolute disparagement of our rights and our liberties, that must happen — these infringements must happen for the genderists to win. They're never going to succeed, it's never going to happen, we can see this with all the boycotts that are starting to appear. But for them to get to the future that they want, this is on their critical path. These infringements must happen for them to get them to their success state. And we cannot allow that to happen.Thank you for reading Year Zero. This post is public so feel free to share it.On Affirming ParentsCorinna: “For every parent who is transitioning their child, here's the future: your kid is going to get into their 20s and 30s. somewhere in this range. Even the ones who are failing to launch are going to figure out how to actually get their shit together at some point. Every one of these kids is going to start to ruminate. “How did this happen to me?” None of them are going to say, “Why did I do this to myself?” Because they didn't have agency. They didn't know. It doesn't matter if they said, “Oh, I really, really, really want to be a girl, mommy.” They don't know. They've got no idea. They're not even going to remember that. Right? They're not going to know that.” “They're going to start thinking — “How did this happen to me?” And they're going to get to know kids. They're going to get to know children. Newborn babies. They're going to be involved with the lives of these children. They're going to watch them grow up and become thinking human beings. They're going to even watch them become adults. And they're going to know what innocence looks like. And they're going to start to remember that their innocence was absolutely destroyed. And they're going to want to know why. And they will know at the time — I'm telling, I'm telling you now that the reason that this happens is largely because of the sexual interests of men like Rachel Levine, Admiral Levine, and other men who have continual fantasies that they wanted to be little girls”So you have you have sent these children to satisfy the fantasies of these men. These children when they become adults are going to realize that this is why their innocence was destroyed: to make these fantasies come true. And the first people who will get the blame for this will be their parents. That is the future. That is the future.Wesley: So I don't remember his name, bu he's like, “I'm 28 Look at me. I'm puberty blocked…”Corinna. That was Seth. Wesley: That was so powerful. And you're saying like, that's gonna happen to all these fucking parents?"Corinna: Yes. It will not matter to these adult children… Wesley: …that they begged and demanded and connived in order to get this is…Corinna: I'm not even talking about that part. It won't matter to these kids that their parents' calculus was they want zero of one child to commit suicide. They don't care about one in 20,000. They want zero of one to commit suicide. They won't care about their parents' concerns. A lot of them aren't going to be able to have their own kids and so they're never going to even learn how to think like a parent. They're always going to think like a child. They're not going to appreciate what their parents were up against — being lied to by the government. Being lied to by their president being lied to by their doctors. They're going to think “my parents ruined me.” For what? Why did my parents did my parents do this to meSo parents: that's what you have to look forward to.” This is a public episode.

It's a must-read that every person, religious and non-religious, should buy and peruse every night before bed. It'll make you think harder, pray more ardently, and understand your civilization better." — Ben Shapiro, host of "The Ben Shapiro Show" "Dennis Prager's commentary on Exodus will rank among the greatest modern Torah commentaries. That is how important I think it is. And I am clearly not alone... It might well be on its way to becoming the most widely read Torah commentary of our time—and by non-Jews as well as by Jews." — Rabbi Joseph Telushkin, bestselling author of Jewish Literacy Why do so many people think the Bible, the most influential book in world history, is outdated? Why do our friends and neighbors – and sometimes we ourselves – dismiss the Bible as irrelevant, irrational, immoral, or all of these things? This explanation of the Book of Exodus, the second book of the Bible, will demonstrate that the Bible is not only powerfully relevant to today's issues, but completely consistent with rational thought. Do you think the Bible permitted the trans-Atlantic slave trade? You won't after reading this book. Do you struggle to love your parents? If you do, you need this book. Do you doubt the existence of God because belief in God is “irrational?” This book will give you reason after reason to rethink your doubts.
