SHOW 1-5-26 THE SHOW BEGINS IN DOUBTS ABOUT VENEZUELA, NIGERIA, SYRIA, RUSSIA, CHINA 1936 KENYA 1. NIGERIA AIRSTRIKE AND THE JIHADIST SHIFT Guest: Edmund Fitton-Brown Edmund Fitton-Brown analyzes a US airstrike against ISIS in Nigeria, discussing the growing jihadist threat in West Africa's "ungoverned spaces." He highlights a strategic shift where African juntas reject Western support for Russian mercenaries, who offer security without governance conditions, inadvertently boosting local support for Al-Qaeda coalitions like JNIM,,. 2. EASTERN MEDITERRANEAN ALLIANCE VS. TURKEY Guest: Edmund Fitton-Brown Fitton-Brown examines the cooperation between Greece, Cyprus, and Israel as a necessary pushback against Turkish President Erdogan's neo-Ottoman expansionism. He argues Erdogan's aggressive rhetoric regarding Jerusalem and maritime claims threatens regional stability, necessitating a unified defense from these democracies to counter Turkish overreach in the Mediterranean,. 3. CHINA'S OIL LOSS IN VENEZUELA Guest: Gordon Chang and Charles Burton The guests discuss how the US removal of Maduro disrupts China's oil supply, leaving Beijing with billions in unpaid debt. They note that Chinese military equipment failed to detect the US operation, embarrassing Beijing. Burton suggests Canada faces a difficult choice between aligning with US hemispheric security or appeasing China,,. 4. 2026: A HOLLOW SUPERPOWER Guest: Gordon Chang and Charles Burton Chang and Burton speculate that the US operation in Venezuela exposes China's inability to protect its allies, making Beijing appear "hollow." Chang argues this weakens China's threat against Taiwan, while Burton suggests that with China's economy failing and its allies collapsing, the regime faces internal instability and a loss of global prestige,. 5. SECTARIAN WARFARE IN SYRIA Guest: Akmed Sharawari Akmed Sharawari reports on escalating violence between Syria's Alawite minority and the central government led by former jihadist Al-Shara. He explains that regime remnants and Russian influence are fueling Alawite defiance, while Druze and Kurdish factions also resist integration, complicating US hopes for a stable, unified post-Assad state,,. 6. WESTERN AIRSTRIKES ON ISIS Guest: Akmed Sharawari Sharawari discusses recent British and French airstrikes against ISIS weapons caches in Syria. He notes that despite opposing the central government, ISIS remains a universal threat. The chaos following the Assad regime's fall has allowed ISIS cells to regroup in urban areas, necessitating Western intervention to destroy their stolen arsenals,. 7. HEZBOLLAH'S LATIN AMERICAN FINANCING Guest: David Daoud David Daoud details Hezbollah's deep entrenchment in Venezuela, used to challenge US hegemony. He explains how the group exploits Latin American networks, illicit trade, and legitimate business fronts within expatriate communities to generate essential funding, compensating for losses in Lebanon and serving Iran's broader strategy in the Western Hemisphere,. 8. LEBANESE ARMY COLLUSION Guest: David Daoud Daoud highlights the compromised nature of the Lebanese Armed Forces (LAF), citing a recent incident where an LAF soldier killed alongside Hezbollah members received a joint funeral. He argues this collusion makes the LAF an untrustworthy partner for Israel, as sectarian loyalties often supersede national duty, leading to dangerous intelligence leaks,. 9. THE FALL OF MADURO Guest: Alejandro Peña Esclusa and Ernesto Araújo Alejandro Peña Esclusa celebrates the swift US capture of Maduro as Venezuela's liberation. He argues Vice President Delcy Rodriguez must now dismantle the "Cartel of the Suns" to avoid Maduro's fate. Ernesto Araújo frames this as a decisive victory for freedom, forcing a choice between democracy and criminal syndicates,,. 10. US DEMANDS: TERRORISTS OUT Guest: Alejandro Peña Esclusa Peña Esclusa supports US demands for Iran, Hezbollah, and the ELN to be expelled from Venezuela, asserting the population shares these desires. He characterizes Maduro as a drug lord and a threat to Western security, criticizing European leftists who condemn the operation for failing to recognize the regime's criminal nature. 11. PANIC AMONG THE LATIN LEFT Guest: Alejandro Peña Esclusa and Ernesto Araújo Ernesto Araújo explains that leftist leaders like Lula and Petro fear the US action against Maduro because their power structures share similar corruption. Peña Esclusa adds that Colombian President Petro is terrified because his campaign was funded by Venezuelan drug money, making him vulnerable to the exposure of these secrets,. 12. THE RIGHTWARD SHIFT IN ELECTIONS Guest: Alejandro Peña Esclusa and Ernesto Araújo Araújo predicts the US action in Venezuela will energize the Latin American right, specifically boosting the Bolsonaro movement in Brazil. Peña Esclusa forecasts electoral defeats for the left in Costa Rica, Peru, and Colombia, arguing the region is turning away from narco-socialism toward US-aligned conservative leadership,. 13. RUSSIA'S MAXIMALIST DEMANDS Guest: John Hardie John Hardie outlines Russia's unyielding demands for peace, including territorial concessions and barring Ukraine from NATO. He notes that while Zelensky is nearing agreement with the West on security guarantees, the gap with Russia remains wide. Hardie urges the Trump administration to increase pressure to force Putin to compromise,. 14. THE IMPOSSIBLE DMZ Guest: John Hardie Hardie discusses the complexities of implementing a demilitarized zone (DMZ) in Ukraine, citing disagreements over sovereignty and administration. Regarding the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant, he notes Russia is unlikely to return control to Ukraine. He concludes that peace deals requiring Ukraine to cede territory are "poison pills" likely to fail,. 15. HAMAS AND THE IMPOSSIBLE RECONSTRUCTION Guest: Peter Berkowitz Peter Berkowitz argues that Hamas, as a Muslim Brotherhood offshoot, remains committed to Israel's destruction, making peace impossible. He criticizes the "Project Sunrise" reconstruction plan, noting that US-led development is futile without first disarming and deradicalizing Gaza, a task only the IDF can currently achieve given Hamas's refusal to surrender,. 16. IRAN ON THE BRINK Guest: Jonathan Sia Jonathan Sia reports on unprecedented Iranian protests and rumors that Ayatollah Khamenei plans to flee to Moscow. He attributes the regime's panic to the recent fall of allies like Maduro. Sia notes a shift in protester sentiment toward pro-monarchy chants, suggesting a coordinated opposition now exists to replace the theocracy,.

Why does the collapse of Maduro's regime in Venezuela send shockwaves all the way to China, Iran, and Russia? What connects these distant powers? And what direction will America now take with the likes of Zohran Kwame Mamdani commanding New York City, and President Trump commanding U.S. foreign policy? We discuss: • The U.S. seizure of Nicolás Maduro — a justified action or an illegal abduction? • Trump declares he's “Locked & Loaded” in support of the Iranian revolutionaries — will there be a war between the Mullahs in Iran and the United States? • Will Jews leave New York and move to Israel now that Mamdani has taken power? Tamar speaks with Dr. Benedict Beckeld (www.BenedictBeckeld.com ) — philosopher and expert on Oikophobia — in this case, the current Western trend of despising one's own culture while praising others. What is causing the West's decline in spiritual values, and do Western societies feel guilty for their prosperity? How and why could this shape the future of global freedom and cultural continuity? The answer matters for people everywhere on the planet. The Tamar Yonah Show 04JAN2026 - PODCAST

Starlink satellites that are part of its Starshield Program are being used to secretly block radio signals from 3I/Atlas, according to Dr. Stewart Swerdlow who has received a series of briefing by a high-level NASA official. He says March 16, 2026 will be an important date when 3I/Atlas is at its closest approach to Jupiter. According to Dr. Swerdlow, Russia and Ukraine will sign a peace agreement on January 15, and this will be a key event in the formation of American, Russian and Chinese superstates. He says that all extraterrestrials have their own agendas and cannot be trusted despite them spanning the spectrum from negative to positive. Dr. Swerdlow was among the initial group of child participants that was involuntarily recruited into the Montauk Project that ran from 1970 to 1983 at the northeast end of Long Island, New York. Beginning at 13 years of age, he underwent time travel and portal experiments that abused up to 300,000 children and adults, only a few of whom survived.Dr. Stewart Swerdlow's website is: https://www.expansions.com/about-us/Join Dr. Salla on Patreon for Early Releases, Webinar Perks and More.Visit https://Patreon.com/MichaelSalla/

How can the U.S. win the new Cold War against its old Cold War adversaries? Donald Trump and Xi Jinping have come to a truce of sorts in their trade war, with the U.S. reducing tariffs and China agreeing not to block vital commodity exports. Russia's war against Ukraine rages on, with no signs of any negotiated settlement. President Trump seems to prize his relationships with Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin, but what is the goal for the U.S. in this age of power rivalry? How can the United States maintain a dominant role in geopolitics, while keeping threats from its adversaries at bay?  On this episode of Free Expression, Gerry Baker speaks with former Ambassador to Russia and professor at Stanford University Michael McFaul, who details how the U.S. will handle these countries in his new book, “Autocrats vs. Democrats: China, Russia, America, and the New Global Disorder.” They also discuss why Russia is a bigger threat than China to the United States and how China wants to wield its influence through the world economy, unlike Vladimir Putin's campaign of disruption.

Donate (no account necessary) | Subscribe (account required) Join Bryan Dean Wright, former CIA Operations Officer, as he dives into today's top stories shaping America and the world. In this episode of The Wright Report, Bryan covers Democrats' sweeping election victories, Trump's call to end the Senate filibuster, the possibility of an end to the historic government shutdown, cartel violence in Mexico, and Trump's warning about nuclear weapons testing. Democrats Sweep Elections Nationwide: It was a strong night for Democrats across the country. In Virginia, they won the governor's mansion, attorney general, and 13 new House seats — a political "bloodbath," as local analysts called it. Former CIA officer Abigail Spanberger became governor, while Jay Jones — who once joked about killing a Republican lawmaker and his children — was elected attorney general. Bryan warns these results reveal a growing radicalism within the Left that Americans can't afford to ignore. New York City Elects Its First Socialist Mayor: Zohran Mamdani won handily with foreign-born voters and young progressives, promising free housing, gun bans, and state control over industries. Bryan compares his victory to a "virus of humanity" spreading nationwide, warning that socialism's false promise of "free for all" could gain traction if Republicans fail to deliver economic results. Trump Pushes to End the Filibuster: President Trump renewed his call to eliminate the Senate filibuster after the Democratic sweep, urging Republicans to "terminate it" to pass voter reform and economic bills. Bryan argues that fears of Democrats abusing power later are misplaced — "that horse has already left the barn." Shutdown Nearing Resolution: Ten Democrat senators are now willing to negotiate a deal to reopen the government, marking the longest shutdown in U.S. history. A short-term plan could fund the military while delaying fights over Obamacare subsidies until December. Mexico's Cartel War and Trump's Dilemma: After the murder of Michoacán's mayor by the Jalisco cartel, Trump is weighing covert CIA and special forces operations inside Mexico. Bryan says the President is torn between patience and decisive action — and both paths carry enormous risk. Nuclear Testing and Rising Tensions: The U.S. will restart nuclear weapons testing for the first time since the 1990s, citing proof that Russia and China are secretly conducting their own tests. Bryan explains how new nuclear-powered cruise missiles and underwater drones are reshaping the global threat landscape.   "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32     Keywords: 2025 election results Democrats sweep, Abigail Spanberger governor Virginia, Jay Jones attorney general threat scandal, Zohran Mamdani socialist NYC mayor, Trump filibuster termination call, U.S. government shutdown negotiations, Michoacán mayor cartel murder, Trump CIA operations Mexico, U.S. nuclear testing restart, Russia China cruise missile Poseidon drone

Retired Lt. Col. Tony Shaffer returns to The P.A.S. Report to analyze how President Trump's foreign policy is reshaping global power dynamics, from enforcing the Gaza ceasefire and forcing Hamas's disarmament to confronting Russia and ending the Ukraine war. Shaffer explains why Trump's foreign policy doctrine of diplomacy backed by force is redefining America's role in the world. The discussion dives deep into the new threat from drug cartels, China's growing influence in Latin America, and how the next administration plans to restore order at home and abroad. Episode Highlights Middle East Reset: Trump's push for Arab-led governance in Gaza, the Abraham Accords, and sidelining Hamas. Ukraine Reality Check: Why Shaffer says the war is unwinnable, Putin needs an off-ramp, and Trump must play the "Russia card" to split Moscow from Beijing. The New Warfront: U.S. plans to target cartels as terror groups, China's role in fentanyl production, and how the next conflict could come from our own southern border.

AP correspondent Ed Donahue reports on increasing threats from AI.

I denne RumSnak ser vi nærmere på det spritnye Vera C. Rubin Observatory, et stort teleskop i Chile, der for ganske nylig er begyndt at tage billeder, og som de næste ti år skal tage massevis af billeder at den sydlige himmel. Der er mange videnskabelige mål med Vera Rubin – man vil både fotografere milliarder af galakser og samle data der kan hjælpe forskerne med at forstå mørkt stof, men observatoriet skal også kortlægge små objekter her i vores Solsystem og være med til at kortlægge Mælkevejen. Vi har besøg af Christa Gall fra Niels Bohr Institutet, som kan fortælle meget mere om hvad Vera Rubin skal bruges til. Vi skal dog også have et par aktuelle nyheder, denne gang blandt andet om en grovædende planet og spændende molekyler på en af Saturns måner. Lyt med

This podcast episode by Alevtina Solovyeva traces Central Asia as the enduring crossroads “between empires,” where caravan routes outlast the borders drawn over them. It opens with the Silk Roads: trade as the region's original superpower – moving goods, ideas, and identities. The narrative then tracks how Qing–Russian rivalry and the 19th century “Great Game” layered governors, railways, and taxes onto steppe and peoples, then the Soviet period engineered republics, industries, and pipelines while China watched, split, and later recalibrated. Independence for the five Central Asian states after 1991 reset the board: Russia remained the familiar security habit; China re-entered with capital and corridors, culminating in the Belt and Road. Multi-vector tendencies took hold as Turkey, Iran, Japan, Korea, the U.S., and the EU pressed in. The 2022, start of the full-scale war in Ukraine, accelerated internal and external processes concerning Central Asia as a strategic area, as well as a Russia-China partner-rivalry across energy, transport, finance, and soft power. Four platforms – SCO, EAEU, BRICS, and BRI – showcase both cooperation and competition, with BRI as the physical layer that forces choices on routes, rules, and control. Looking to 2025-2030, three stress tests loom: the terms of Power of Siberia-2, corridor races (CKU vs. Kazakh/Middle Corridor routes), and “security creep.” Central Asia has become a focal arena for international actors amid deep shifts in power balances and rules. It is a fast-moving environment with open-ended trajectories, multiple internal and external agents and situational theatres where interests intersect. Dr. Alevtina Solovyeva is the Head of the Centre for Oriental Studies and Mongolian Research Laboratory at the University of Tartu. She specializes in Asian studies, Chinese and Mongolian studies, folklore studies, historical and social anthropology, and social sciences. Learn more about your ad choices.

Donald Trump wants to use tariffs to force countries to buy more US oil and natural gas. Instead, China and Russia signed a deal to build the massive Power of Siberia 2 pipeline, which could transform the global energy market.

Before it invaded Ukraine, Russia was Europe's single largest supplier of imported natural gas. But now that the European Union is considering an outright ban on all Russian gas by the end of 2027, Russia is pivoting to Asia, courting China as both a crucial new market for its gas and an important geostrategic ally. When Russian President Vladimir Putin traveled to China at the end of August, the visit produced a series of cooperation agreements. Among them: a deal between Gazprom and the China National Petroleum Corporation to advance the long-discussed Power of Siberia 2 pipeline, a massive project that, if completed, could send 50 billion cubic meters of Russian natural gas to China each year. But the announcement is short on many details, including pricing, financing, and a timeline. So what — beyond symbolism — does this deal actually deliver for both Russia and China in the short term? What prompted China to sign the agreement after years of delays? And what does it tell us about China's efforts to diversify its energy imports?  This week, Jason speaks with three scholars from the Center on Global Energy Policy (CGEP), Anne-Sophie Corbeau, Tatiana Mitrova, and Erica Downs, about the possible impacts of the Power of Siberia 2 pipeline agreement. The trio also recently co-authored a post about the PoS2 news on the CGEP website.   Anne-Sophie is a global research scholar at CGEP, where she focuses on hydrogen and natural gas. She previously worked as a senior analyst at BP and the International Energy Agency. Tatiana is a CGEP research fellow with twenty five years of experience dealing with Russian and global energy markets. Erica is a senior research scholar at CGEP, where she focuses on Chinese energy markets and geopolitics. Earlier in her career she held senior roles in the China Studies program of the CNA Corporation and at Eurasia Group. Credits: Hosted by Jason Bordoff and Bill Loveless.

BOOK TITLE: The Decisive Decade: American Grand Strategy for Triumph over China AUTHOR: Jonathan DT Ward HEADLINE: The Russia-China Axis: A Decade in the Making and Shaping the Future The invasion of Ukraine on February 24, 2022, and the apparent Russia-China alliance marked a critical turning point. This "no limits partnership" is an iteration of their "comprehensive partnership of strategic coordination for a new era," with deep philosophical, military, and economic dimensions. This axis, in the making for a decade, signifies a return to a world divided between allies and adversaries, dictatorships and democracies, with China as the primary driver of this geopolitical shift. 1957 MA AND ZHOU, PEKING UNIVERSITY

K.T. McFarland, Former Deputy National Security Advisor, calls in for her weekly Friday morning hit with Sid to discuss President Donald Trump's proposed renaming of the Department of Defense to the Department of War. She argues it refocuses the military on its core mission—defending the nation—rather than being distracted by issues like DEI and climate policy. McFarland warns about growing threats from China, Russia, North Korea, and Iran, emphasizing the danger of these powers aligning, while noting India as a key potential ally. She credits Trump with trying to balance support for Ukraine while preventing a deeper Russia-China alliance, though she admits success is uncertain.

At this week's Shanghai Cooperation Organization summit, Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping seemed determined to show the whole world that Russia-China relations are better than they have ever been. Since Russia's invasion of Ukraine, China has become Putin's most valuable ally, both in diplomacy and on the battlefield, providing dual-purpose technology for Moscow to continue its aggression. Are Sino-Russian relations really at their peak? What can the history of the USSR and China teach us about the nature of this union? How strong is the bond between the two?

090325 Part 2 Susan Russia China Organ Donation MORE Hawking ;Voting Distractions by Kate Dalley

Matt Ehret and Ghost dive into the geopolitics of power, finance, and space with a sprawling discussion that begins with Russia's special envoy Kirill Dmitriev. They trace his rise from Stanford and Goldman Sachs to orchestrating Russian privatization schemes, WEF connections, and his surprising pivot toward fostering U.S.–Russia–China cooperation. The hosts explore Dmitriev's ties to Mohammed bin Salman, the Saudi purge of 2017, and how those moves reshaped global finance, tech, and even Twitter's role as an intelligence weapon. From there, they pivot to General Flynn's recent Q-linked posts, General Kwast's comments on Trump and Putin's Arctic energy strategy, and revelations about joint nuclear reactor projects on the moon. The conversation blends hard geopolitics with philosophical reflections on peace, the space economy, helium-3, quantum computing, and humanity's capacity for redemption. With free-flowing banter and live analysis, Matt and Ghost challenge listeners to see beyond Cold War psyops into a new paradigm of cooperation and sovereignty.

This episode focuses on the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, with the hosts offering a critical perspective on the U.S. role and the motives of the key players. They assert that the war is a "massive money laundering operation" from which Ukrainian officials are profiting. The hosts praise President Trump for his efforts to bring peace, arguing that he is the only leader genuinely trying to end the conflict despite a media they claim is biased and a "deep state" they believe is actively trying to prolong the war for profit. The hosts discuss the geopolitical dynamics at play, including the U.S. and NATO's alleged use of "provocative" attacks on Russian soil to force a retaliation. They argue that to achieve lasting peace, Trump must persuade Putin to "hold his fire" even if provoked and to "skip the ceasefire" and go directly to a peace deal. The hosts highlight the B-2 bomber flyover during the Trump-Putin summit as a strategic display of American power, a message to Putin, and a way for Trump to counter media narratives that he is too soft on Russia. They conclude by emphasizing the importance of breaking the Russia-China alliance and rebuilding economic ties between Russia and the West

This episode explores a range of topics from geopolitics to domestic crime. The hosts discuss what they believe is a deliberate effort by Democrats and the media to prolong the war in Ukraine for financial gain, calling it a "massive money laundering operation." They contrast this with President Trump's peace efforts, which they praise as a strategic move to break the Russia-China alliance. The hosts also criticize former Vice President Mike Pence for mocking Trump over his approach to Russia while allegedly ignoring threats from China, which they say has admitted to cyberattacks against the U.S. The program also delves into a legal case involving former FBI Director James Comey, whom the hosts accuse of felonies including leaking classified data and killing investigations. They claim his recent public statements are part of a desperate PR strategy to avoid prison. The episode concludes with commentary on recent crime stories, including the Idaho murder case, where a new court document reveals details about the killer's alleged actions, and a South Carolina case where nine teenagers were arrested for their involvement in the murder of a 16-year-old. The hosts express bewilderment and outrage at the behavior of the people involved in both cases.

President Donald Trump departed Washington aboard Air Force One on Friday on his way to a meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska for discussions about a possible cease-fire deal for the war in Ukraine. Trump was accompanied by Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, and CIA Director John Ratcliffe, as well as other top aides, the White House said.Before the high-stakes meeting between Trump and Putin, Alaska Gov. Mike Dunleavy joined NTD to discuss the significance of the event, as well as the strategic importance of the Arctic in the face of an ever-closer Russia–China alliance.

In today's episode, we cover Trump Targets Crime and Homelessness in DC Following a brutal attack on a former Trump employee in Washington DC, the president will announce sweeping plans to clean up the city. Proposals may include evicting the homeless, involuntary psychiatric commitments, and even federalizing DC's governance. Bryan unpacks the root causes of the capital's lawlessness, from broken families to weak criminal enforcement. Putin-Trump Peace Talks Face Global Pushback The Russian president is set to meet Trump in Alaska on Friday to discuss ending the Ukraine war. Putin's demands include control of Donbas and Crimea, but Europe, Zelenskyy, and China all oppose the proposed “Alaska Protocol.” Bryan examines why some say this could be a diplomatic breakthrough, while others see it as a Kremlin ploy. China and India Undercut U.S. Strategy China openly declares it wants Russia to win in Ukraine to keep America distracted. India deepens its ties with Moscow despite new U.S. tariffs, canceling American weapons purchases and strengthening the BRICS alliance. Trump's New “Peace Corridor” Rattles Iran and Russia Last week's U.S.-brokered peace deal between Armenia and Azerbaijan creates the Trump Route for International Peace and Prosperity — a new corridor for oil, gas, and trade running close to Iran's borders. Tehran threatens to turn it into a “graveyard for Trump's mercenaries,” while Moscow warns against foreign meddling. The Great Game for Global Power From Ukraine to the South Caucasus, from India to China's Pacific shores, a new geopolitical contest is underway. Bryan outlines how foreign powers may try to sabotage U.S. influence at home and abroad, including covert propaganda, political funding, and infiltration through the southern border.

Epstein; Tariffs; GM; Fed; Energy; Sugar; Cronyism; Russia; China; Fusion; AI |The Yaron Brook Show | July 22, 2025 In this packed and provocative episode, Yaron dives into the latest headlines—from the moral rot surrounding Jeffrey Epstein and the cowardice of those in power, to the destructive resurgence of protectionism in the form of tariffs. He takes on General Motors and the growing web of corporate-state entanglement, lambasting the Federal Reserve for its continued economic manipulation. In segments on energy and sugar, Yaron exposes the deep-rooted cronyism distorting prices and crushing innovation—all while enriching the politically connected.The conversation then turns global, with sharp commentary on Russia's aggression, China's authoritarian ambitions, and the West's philosophical disarmament in the face of both. Yaron explores the promise and peril of emerging technologies—like the bold (but dubious?) claims of nuclear fusion breakthroughs, and the race to harness AI without sacrificing individual rights and human purpose. Can the West still lead? Only if it reclaims its moral and philosophical foundations.**Live Questions:**In a dynamic and wide-ranging Q&A, Yaron answers questions about the psychology behind public shaming and resentment, the loneliness epidemic, the relationship between logic and reason, and whether a love of money is virtuous. Viewers asked about favorite rockstars to resurrect (hello, Freddie Mercury), Kurosawa films, NYC boroughs, and even the ethics of eternal post-death consciousness. One question explored how proximity to people who refuse to truly *Live* can affect your own ability to thrive.
