    Send us a textMethods & challenges of establishing causal relationships in health research, emphasizing epidemiology, randomized trials, and genetic approaches.Topics:Epidemiology: Studies disease influences using observational designs like case-control and prospective cohorts, plus trials, to identify patterns and test hypotheses.Hierarchy of evidence critique: Rejects rigid pyramids favoring RCTs, as all studies can be biased; advocates triangulation integrating varied data types for robust conclusions.RCT strengths & weaknesses: Randomization balances confounders, but issues like poor blinding, attrition, or subversion can undermine results; large samples may yield spurious precision if biased.Confounding & reverse causation: Examples include yellow fingers and lung cancer (both from smoking) or early atherosclerosis inflating CRP-disease links; hard to fully control statistically.Nutrition epidemiology: Observational studies often overstate benefits (e.g., vitamin E for heart disease), leading to failed trials; incentives favor new findings over revisiting errors.Mendelian randomization: Uses genetic variants as proxies for exposures (e.g., ALDH2 for alcohol metabolism) to mimic randomization; reveals no heart benefits from alcohol, unlike observational data.Negative controls: Tests implausible outcomes (e.g., smoking and murder) or exposures (e.g., paternal smoking in pregnancy) to check for confounding artifacts.Evidence triangulation: Combines diverse studies with different biases (e.g., cross-cultural comparisons) for causality; applied to dismiss HDL-raising drugs despite initial promise.Practical Takeaways:Scrutinize health claims by checking for negative controls or variety in evidence sources to avoid mistaking correlation for causation.For personal decisions like alcohol intake, consider genetic studies showing risks at all levels, and aim for moderation or abstinence based on overall evidence.When evaluating supplements or diets, prioritize trials over observational data, and question media hype that ignores confounding factors.About the guest: Dr. George Davey Smith, MD, DSc is a professor of clinical epidemiology at the University of Bristol and director of the MRC Integrative Epidemiology Unit.*Not medical advice.Support the showAffiliates: Lumen device to optimize your metabolism for weight loss or athletic performance.

    Get Jon's book "End of the World: Civilization and Its Fate": https://www.bloomsbury.com/uk/end-of-the-world-9781538189016/_______________ Dr Jon Mills is a philosopher-psychoanalyst and Honorary Professor at the University of Essex, whose work bridges Hegelian philosophy, psychoanalytic theory, and contemporary existential threats facing civilisation. With over 35 books to his name—including five Gradiva Award winners—Jon has spent decades developing what he calls “dialectical psychoanalysis,” a rigorous philosophical framework for understanding the unconscious mind. His latest work, which we're discussing in this episode, confronts an uncomfortable question: does humanity possess a collective death drive that propels us towards self-destruction?_______________ You can find Jon's work at:Website: https://www.philosophypsychoanalysis.comPublications: https://www.philosophypsychoanalysis.com/academics-psychoanalysis-philosophy_______________In this conversation, I sit down with Jon to explore the darkest questions about our species' future. We examine whether humanity harbours a death wish, diving into the multiple existential crises threatening civilisation—climate change, nuclear weapons, AI risks, geopolitical conflict, and overpopulation/demographic collapse. Jon brings his formidable philosophical toolkit to bear on these challenges, drawing from Hegel, Freud, and his own dialectical framework to understand how good and evil operate simultaneously in human affairs. We debate techno-optimism versus existential pessimism, explore the psychology behind apocalyptic thinking, and we talk about my previous episode on secular eschatology and we discuss what that reveals about our relationship with mortality. We're left with the question of whether our species can transcend its self-destructive patterns or whether we're inexorably drawn towards catastrophe._______________⏳Timestamps00:00 James's Intro01:21 Claude AI's intro to Jon02:16 Jon's prolific output02:59 Does humanity have a death wish?04:13 The collective forces at play05:57 Collective and the collective unconscious09:03 What we mean by humanity - metaphor or reality?11:03 The crises facing humanity today12:25 What Jon wanted to achieve with the book15:45 Universal pessimism?19:41 James on demographic collapse23:29 Poverty decline globally25:21 Optimism on climate26:09 China and the Thucydides Trap27:45 James on AI concerns28:16 Negative trends in prejudice and freedom31:03 The psychology of the Thucydides Trap34:35 Good and evil are operative at once36:43 James's secular eschatology thesis41:45 Why are most apocalypse predictions Western?43:26 Apocalypse as death-cope44:39 Apocalypse as unmet need gone rotten?45:35 Jon's relationship with death48:18 Jon's guest recommendation: Michael Montgomery

    Following yesterday's focus on external control, Day 2 guides us into the most powerful territory of all: our Inner Commentary. Negative tendencies—like impatience, self-criticism, or resentment—are rarely caused by the event itself, but rather by the instantaneous, faulty judgment we place upon that event. ALL ABOUT THIS WEEK'S SERIES Welcome to "The Path to Happiness with the Stoics." Welcome to a new journey on the Daily Meditation Podcast. This week, we are walking The Path to Happiness with the Stoics. When we think of "Stoicism," we often imagine a stiff upper lip or the suppression of emotion. But the ancient Stoics—thinkers like Marcus Aurelius, Seneca, and Epictetus—were actually in pursuit of profound joy. They didn't seek the fleeting happiness of a sugar rush or a new purchase; they sought Eudaimonia (flourishing) and Ataraxia (unshakable tranquility). This is day 2 of a 7-day meditation series, "The Path to Happiness with the Stoics," episodes 1164-1170. Prepare to shift your perspective. Happiness is not something you chase; it is something you practice. YOUR WEEKLY CHALLENGE: "The Control Test" This week, your challenge is to apply the "Control Test" to every moment of friction or anxiety you encounter. Whenever you feel stress rising, pause immediately and ask yourself: "Is this 100% within my control?" If the answer is no, practice visualizing yourself physically dropping the weight of that outcome, redirecting your energy solely toward your own attitude and response. THIS WEEK'S MEDITATION JOURNEY  Day 1:  Inner Joy Visualization  Day 2:  Affirmation: "I am free."

    Merch and apparel is now available through an exclusive collaboration with Confetti & Cloth Boutique for Black Friday! Comfortable and stylish sweatshirts, hats, coffee mugs, and more! Available while supplies last. Find them on Instagram and Facebook! Listen in this week as Jill takes listeners into the final stretch of 2025! With only thirty days left in the Year of the Snake (a year defined by shedding, releasing, and uncomfortable but necessary evolution), she invites everyone to step into December with intention, and she reminds longtime listeners that her annual December 29th ritual is coming: a fresh, guided closing of the year that includes a meditation and a revisit of the photos on your camera roll. Before that episode gets here, though, Jill returns to conversations from the past few weeks, revisiting the work around holiday expectations, letting go of traditions and obligations that drain us, and imagining the season the way we've always wished it could feel. She loops back to exercises around the worries we speak aloud without realizing how much weight they carry, especially when directed at the people we love under the guise of "concern." Jill takes this concept even further, proposing a simple but effective system: two jars - one for every spoken worry, criticism, or fear masquerading as care and one for every moment we consciously choose the opposite. There is no punishment or shame, just visibility, honesty, and reinforcement. She reveals how this practice exposes the stories we cling to like childhood security blankets and how shifting those stories changes far more than our mood; it affects our energy, our relationships, and the tone of our entire day. Via personal reflection and practical suggestions, Jill encourages listeners to clean up their emotional and energetic space now, not in January. December can be steady, clear, and intentional if we're willing to actually work with what comes to the surface and allow yourself to feel everything. Also, don't forget - Jill will be hosting an upcoming retreat - the More of Me retreat - offering a deep dive into self-discovery. Head to jillherman.com for more details! Show Notes: [1:27] - Jill urges listeners to end December intentionally and skip traditional resolutions for a gentler New Year. [4:05] - Jill revisits last episode's holiday exercise returns so that we can recommit to letting go of fear and instead choosing joy. [6:51] - Jill suggests tip-jar "games" to curb speech that is based on fear and to reward healthier patterns. [9:18] - Hear how embodiment helps reduce worry by replacing mental loops with grounded nervous-system habits. [11:41] - Jill explains how childhood conditioning makes toxic behavior feel familiar, creating looped patterns as an adult. [14:44] - Negative talk influences your health, relationships, and the energy that you broadcast. [16:49] - Hear how December sometimes causes old pain to resurface. [19:34] - Jill's advice is to allow yourself to feel everything fully while balancing joy and grief without being overwhelmed. [21:23] - Jill recommends a morning gratitude prayer to feel joy and holiday presence. [25:13] - Jill recaps the episode's themes and invites listeners to shape their month with intention!

    From Shattered to Shining (Holiday Edition) How to Rebuild Hope, Identity & Sparkle After Betrayal There's a moment after betrayal when you look in the mirror and don't recognize yourself anymore. Not because you're weak — but because you've been trying so hard to survive, hold everything together, and make sense of a world that suddenly stopped making sense. If your sparkle feels dulled… If you feel like the woman you once were is gone… This episode will remind you: She's still in there. And hope is still in there too. ---In this powerful episode, Lora takes you deep into what really breaks during betrayal — hope, identity, safety, and the sense of who you are. Last week's show revealed that hope doesn't die; hope hides. This week, you'll learn how to begin revealing yourself again — layer by layer — so your hope can return and your sparkle can rise. Lora shares how the FLAUNT!® framework was “downloaded” years before her own betrayal, how it became the blueprint that saved her life, and how you can use these same steps to move from shattered to shining this holiday season. You'll also hear the full story behind the free December 1st From Shattered to Shining Book Club & Workshop — a guided, experiential celebration of healing, revealing, and reclaiming your joy. This is the episode to listen to if you feel lost, dulled, destabilized, or disconnected — especially heading into the holidays. TOP 3 TAKEAWAYS Your sparkle isn't gone — it's covered. Betrayal doesn't “break” you. It buries you under grief, shock, and roles you never meant to carry. Healing is not fixing — it's revealing. Hope hides beneath layers — but it's never lost. Hope disappears under masks, roles, labels, and survival patterns. When you begin to unmask yourself, hope becomes possible again. FLAUNT!® is a clinically-backed framework for betrayal recovery. Originally built for empowerment, it became the missing map for navigating infidelity: F – Find Your Fetish (joy) L – Laugh Out Loud (regulate your nervous system) A – Accept Unconditionally (what is true) N – Navigate the Negative (integrate, don't avoid) T – Trust in Your Truth (stand in who you are becoming) Rebuild your identity, your hope, and your sparkle with Lora's free two-hour virtual workshop: From Shattered to Shining: A Book Club Experience for Women Who Are Ready to Feel Like Themselves Again December 1, 11 am – 1 pm PST, 12 pm – 2 pm MST, 1 pm – 3 pm CST, 2 pm – 4 pm EST, 7 pm – 9 pm GMT, 8 pm – 10 pm CET, 6 am – 8 am AEDT (next day) Free on Zoom (+ replay) Bring your copy of FLAUNT!

    Dr. David Clements has learned that powerful transformative energies are sweeping into the Solar system from the galactic center which are increasing the frequency on Earth and other planets. This external energy surge is being matched by internal energies from the core of the Earth which are also radiating out to form a pincer-like movement that no being can escape from. The effect is that those entities oriented towards negative polarity thinking cannot survive in the new energies and will need to leave the Earth and the solar system. Dr. Clements has recently been communicating with beings from the Inner Earth that reside in crystalline cities located near the planet's core. He has been told that they are ready to meet with surface humans who have done the personal work to raise their frequency fields so they are not triggered in any future encounter. This involves individuals clearing away internalized traumas and betrayals involving others that may extend over life times, through forgiveness, higher understanding, and, most importantly, connecting with Infinite Source Intelligence/Higher Self. He explains how forgiveness is designed to remove one's own negative charge in relation to another who has committed some wrong, so that the negative energetic bond is broken. Consequently, humans who have done the personal work in clearing their internalized personal traumas with others and connected with their Higer Self, will be able to meet with all kinds of non-human entities. This will include those who have in the past been associated in negative activities, e.g., Draco Reptilians, but who have decided to also connect with Infinite Source Intelligence and are able to operate in the New Earth that is being created.

    Ever had a game session so draining that even your dice lose levels? In this episode, the RPGBOT crew resurrects one of D&D's most dreaded mechanics: energy drain, and the undead horrors that made it famous. From the White Box to Pathfinder 2e, Tyler, Randall, and Ash relive decades of pain, permanent debuffs, and emotional damage, all in the name of understanding why we're so glad energy drain is (mostly) dead. Grab your holy symbol, chug a potion, and prepare for a nostalgic necrotic nosedive. Join the RPGBOT Patreon If you want to keep your creative energy undrained, support the RPGBOT.Podcast on Patreon. Patrons get ad-free episodes, early access to our Masterclass recordings, and exclusive bonus content from Tyler, Randall, and Ash. Join us today at patreon.com/rpgbot — and help keep our hit points (and our humor) at full strength. Show Notes The RPGBOT crew takes a dark, funny journey through the history of energy drain — one of tabletop RPGs' most punishing and misunderstood mechanics. Starting with OD&D's dreaded Wight, they trace how "losing levels" evolved across editions — from instant death in AD&D to hit point maximum reduction in D&D 5e and drained conditions in Pathfinder 2e. Along the way, Ash shares stories from her Ravenloft campaign, Tyler explains why undead needed to be terrifying, and Randall asks the eternal question: "Did anyone actually have fun with this rule?" Covered Topics: How energy drain first appeared in the OD&D White Box The connection between Wights, vampires, and permanent level loss Why AD&D and 3.5 made energy drain one of the most hated mechanics ever Pathfinder 1e and the dawn of "negative levels" D&D 5e's kinder, gentler approach — max HP reduction instead of level loss Pathfinder 2e's drained and doomed conditions, and how they replace energy drain The evolution of innervation and life drain spells How modern systems preserve undead flavor without destroying players' progress A philosophical question: Should tabletop games hurt this much? Plus: a tangent about Dark Souls, Bloodborne, and how much punishment is too much Mentioned Creatures & Mechanics: Wight, Vampire Spawn, Shadow, Ghoul, Varghoul Innervation / Enervation spell Negative levels, Hit Point Maximum reduction, Drained condition Resurrection penalties in 3.5e and Pathfinder 1e Afflictions, Fortitude saves, and Constitution death spirals Key Takeaways Energy drain began as a brutally punishing mechanic — losing levels in OD&D and AD&D could erase hours of play progress instantly. Pathfinder 1e softened the blow with temporary negative levels, while still terrifying players with math-heavy penalties. 5e and PF2 modernized the concept into simpler, narratively cleaner effects like HP maximum reduction or the drained condition. Undead identity survived — even as the math got easier, the flavor of losing your vitality to a vampire or wight remained iconic. Players prefer tension over punishment. Modern systems preserve danger without making players rage-quit. Energy drain mechanics reflect evolving design philosophy — from simulationist suffering to storytelling sustainability. DM takeaway: Make undead scary through story and tension, not through math that kills fun. How to Play Holidays This Christmas season, while you're recovering from your own levels of exhaustion, the RPGBOT.Podcast is re-releasing our "How to Play" Series for Pathfinder 2e — perfect for new players and GMs ready to explore the system over the holiday break.

    In this powerful episode, host Galen Hair sits down with leadership strategist Nell 3D, whose Me–We–World framework is reshaping how high achievers lead, live, and sustain performance. Nell's story is anything but ordinary: from student debt, burnout, missing her father's funeral, divorce, and even a near-fatal head-on collision all forced a reckoning that transformed both her life and her leadership philosophy. What emerged is a radical concept: The Missing 1%—the idea that real success comes not from adding more, but from subtracting strategically. Highlights Nell3D's academic background and journey to leadership. Why many leaders feel successful on paper but empty in reality. The gap between theory and practice in high-level organizations. A divorce, missing her father's funeral, and a near-fatal crash. The shift from one-dimensional "world impact" to 3-dimensional leadership. Turning personal collapse into a leadership framework. Integrating personal well-being, relationships, and world impact. Identifying outdated habits and inherited "shoulds. Power with instead of power over in collaboration. Negative thought spirals and realistic energy management. Real-world, data-driven self-awareness. Why horses detect inauthenticity better than humans.

    This week of Deck the Hallmark is presented by "A Tyler Shaw Christmas". Listen to this amazing Christmas album HERE. --Ryan joins us to review our first of two UpTV Christmas movies today — Saving the Christmas Ranch.ABOUT SAVING THE CHRISTMAS RANCHCarrie is racing against the clock: she has just two days to come up with nine months of mortgage payments or lose her family's beloved Christmas lodge. When John — a charming developer with unclear motives — shows up offering help, Carrie must decide whether he's a lifeline… or a threat. Holiday stakes, romantic tension, and small-town heart abound.AIR DATE & NETWORK FOR SAVING THE CHRISTMAS RANCHNovember 16 2025 | UPtv.CAST & CREW OF SAVING THE CHRISTMAS RANCHBrianna Cohen as Carrie WilliamsJonathan Stoddard as John DunnBRAN'S SAVING THE CHRISTMAS RANCH SYNOPSISCarrie is busy running the ranch. She has a lot on her plate preparing for the Christmas festival and keeps adding things to her to-do list. She gets a call from a mob-boss-level intense banker who insists she come see him today. We find out why when we see him staring at the ranch's current balance… it's bad. It's NEGATIVE $1,038.A guy named John calls—again—to try to convince her to sell the ranch. She's not interested. So he decides he's just going to come stay at the ranch anyway.She goes to meet with the banker. It's not good. There's been some shady money stuff involving someone named Sandra Flowers, and Carrie has until 5 p.m. on Christmas Eve to come up with $15,000. That's only 48 hours. Not great!She calls an all-hands meeting and breaks the bad news: no bonuses… and probably much worse. They all get to work trying to figure out a way to save the Christmas ranch.John keeps trying to talk to her about his offer, but she's not budging. He's like, “I can tell how much you love this place. What if I fund building a bigger lodge and you still run it?” He believes there's huge potential for growth. Carrie is like, “I don't totally disagree… but still no deal.”John does a little snooping and discovers the truth—they're really struggling and owe 15k. We also find out that it was the banker who told John about the ranch in the first place, promising him a great deal if Carrie can't make the money.But John genuinely wants things to work out for Carrie because he wants her to stay and run the inn.Carrie ends up raising the money. It's looking great. She brings it to the banker and he's like, “Well, it's a start… You ran out so fast that you missed the part where I said you actually owe $50k.” So that's… devastating.Carrie decides she just wants to enjoy the festival and have some fun. She and John compete in the Reindeer Games together and WIN big time.Everything's looking up—until she catches John talking to the banker and gets furious. “YOU KNEW!”John's excited to hear she's doing an auction—maybe this will save the ranch! But… it's not actually a fundraiser for the ranch. It's for charity.But guess who shows up… SANDRA FLOWERS. She explains she took the money to help her brother get surgery. In fact, the banker told her he'd pay for the surgery if she stopped paying the mortgage and emptied the bank account. The banker pops in with a “YOU LIE!”The final auction item is a cake—and that money actually goes toward the ranch. It's looking like they'll only get about $300… until John pipes up and bids $50,000.He says he wants to stay at the ranch and call it home—with her. And they kissssss.
