In this episode, we once again return to the Christ myth, in our search for the devil in Science Fiction with The Matrix. The Christ Myth is usually the story of a chosen one, a demi god, not exactly god but more than human with supernatural powers coming to rescue us all from evil. I would argue, Matrix is the most blatant and obvious of our Christ myth stories.  Special guest stars include Keanu Reeves, Thomas Anderson, Neo, Kung Fu, Trinity, John the Baptist, Morpheus, Jesus, River Jordan, red pill, Roman, Ovid, Metamorphoses, Cypher, Rolling Stones, Beatles, Oasis, Blur, Niki Minaj, Lil' Kim, Agent Smith, Wachowskis, Geocites, Sydney, 2000 Olympics, Australia, Melbourne, Athens, Greeks, Olympic Games, Sydney Opera House, Sydney Harbour Bridge, George Lucas, Star Wars, The Phantom Menace, September 11, 2001,   #666 #SketchComedy #Sketch #Comedy #Sketch Comedy #Atheist #Science #History #Atheism #Antitheist #ConspiracyTheory #Conspiracy #Conspiracies #Sceptical #Scepticism #Mythology #Religion #Devil #Satan #Satanism #Satanist #Skeptic #Debunk #Illuminati #Podcast #funny #sketch #skit #comedy #comedyshow #comedyskits #HeavyMetal #weird #leftist #SatanIsMySuperhero #ScienceFiction #SciFiSend us a text

That's right, it's Frank Herbert's seminal epic Dune. We will once again look for Satan in Science Fiction through the lens of the Christ Myth.

Anita Govan has been involved in performance poetry for many years, long before it became as widespread as it is today, both as a performer and an organiser of events. Sceptical of the competitive aspects of slams, she still takes part in them and organises them for young people as she recognises their part in giving people a forum in which to share their experiences. In this podcast Jennifer Williams talks to Govan about her time as the Stirling Makar, coping with dyslexia, and standing up for young people.

Have you ever wondered what happens when ancient religious texts and hallucinogenic experiences collide? Our latest deep dive into the Book of Revelation might just convince you that John of Patmos was experiencing something far more chemical than divine.Taking you straight through heaven's door in Chapter 4, we explore John's fantastical descriptions of beings that shine like precious stones, a floor made of glass "like unto crystal," and creatures covered in eyes with faces of lions, calves, men, and eagles. We compare these vivid visions to documented medical cases of hallucinations, including a fascinating 2022 paper describing patients who see "colourful crystal sheens" during altered states of consciousness. The parallels are undeniable and hilarious.The biblical connections run deep as we trace John's inspiration to earlier prophets like Ezekiel and Isaiah, showing how he borrowed elements from their visions while adding his own psychedelic twist. We dissect the significance of jasper and sardine stones, analyze the mysterious sea of glass (with at least six competing interpretations), and question whether eternal existence spent repeating "Holy, holy, holy" truly represents paradise.Our irreverent analysis adds yet another theory to what Revelation might actually be – beyond prophecy, coded rebellion literature, xenophobic propaganda, or incel manifesto, we now must consider "hallucination dream journal" as a strong possibility. Whether you're a skeptic, a believer, or somewhere in between, our comedic breakdown offers fresh insights into this ancient text that continues to fascinate and perplex readers across millennia. Listen now, and remember – as we always say at the end – that's why Satan is my superhero.

In this episode we avoid the most violent depraved and abusive things pastors make the headlines for every day, because this is a comedy show.

In this episode, Jo & Vicky talk about why so many of us are sceptical about business coaches. They look at why this is and whether people who work in the dog industry are right to be sceptical. Jo & Vicky also explain how to work out if a business coach will help you to grow faster. If you conclude that you should hire one the advice shared in this episode will help you to find the right coach for you and your business. KEY TAKEAWAYS Most business coaches have no experience of the dog business, so often fail to appreciate the important differences and adequately adapt what they teach and the support they give. Having the right knowledge is vital, for example you have to understand how humans think as well as their dogs. Essentially you have two clients. When you have a coach who has been exactly where you are now, they remove most of the mental and practical barriers that have been holding you back. Often, by offering practical advice about how to overcome specific physical problems. The right coach will save you a lot of wasted effort, frustration and stress. If you have tried a coach before and not had good results don´t let that put you off. You just need to find the right one for you. Someone who provides support tailored to the stage your business is currently at. Working efficiently is an effective way to earn more. A coach that has worked in the dog business can provide practical advice and tips to help you to work smarter. A good coach will help you overcome overwhelm and make the right business decisions. How you structure your finances has a bit impact on wealth creation. The right coach will help you to understand this aspect of business too. Most business coaches are not just out to make money. Often, they see helping others as an important part of their purpose. BEST MOMENTS “Without the coaching, the strategy doesn't work, because there's always going to be a blockage.” “I genuinely believe that my purpose is to inspire others and to inspire a change.” “We are pretty unusual in terms of how deep we go on really getting into somebody's mindset.” “It´s about peeling those layers back. You´re all onions out there.” “If you need specific help on social media, go and find a social media coach.” “You have to really work hard as a professional to be able to adapt and tweak your style to suit somebody else’s.” “We know that the work we do with trainers and others is going to impact the dogs they train.” EPISODE RESOURCES Let´s Talk Dog Business Strategy Book - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Lets-Talk-Dog-Business-Strategy/dp/1068791705 SOCIALS AND IMPORTANT LINKS https://www.tiktok.com/@letstalkdogbusiness https://www.youtube.com/@LetsTalkDogBusiness Website www.caninebusinessacademy.com Community Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/caninebusinessacademycommunity/ ABOUT THE HOSTS Meet Jo and Vicky!

In this special, in between seasons, compilation, we mash together our previous four episodes about the last book of the New Testament. The finest final chapter. The most metal maelstrom of mayhem and madness. The epilogue to end all epilogues. The volume of vengeful violence that is, the Book of Revelation! Volume 1 contains the previously released episodes,Book of Revelation 00 Prologue of the EpilogueBook of Revelation 01 First Chapter of the Final ChapterBook of Revelation 02 Where Satan DwellsBook of Revelation 03 I Will Come In To Him Many apologists, theologians, academics, historians and scholars have pondered the inclusion of this Lovecraftian hallucination in the final draft of the Chri$tian Bible. We will look at the various theories as they come up.  The prologue includes cameo appearances from, The Bible, the Rapture, John of Patmos, Roman Emperors Domitian, Vespasian, Titus, Nero and Caligula. We'll also meet Epaphroditus, Eusebius, Josephus and D.H. Lawrence. Did you know you are blessed just to read it or hear it read? Did you now this book is a cornerstone of conspiracy theories like Flat Earth Theory and the Holy Trinity? Does it allude to the Holy Ghost or the Archangels? What's the deal with John and the number seven? Will we see the saviour coming in the clouds? Will he or won't he have a two edged sword in his mouth? Will he sound like a fart or diarrhoea? Did you know it gives you a description including but not limited to Christ's breasts? And why does John mansplain away his poetic metaphors? I chapter two, John will explain to the church of Ephesus just how much the ultimate creator god of the entire universe is upset about a wife swapping cult of Nicolaitanes. John explains quantum physics to the church in Smyrna and proves once and for all Jesus is Schrodinger's Cat.John doxes Satan's home in Pergamon.And among the church in Thyatira, we finally meet, Jezebel! And she does not disappoint. She repented not!Is this book prophecy of a future still to come?Is this book a coded message of rebellion for the early Chri$tian freedom fighters in their struggle with the Roman Empire?Is this book xenophobic propaganda to stop Hellenising?Who cares? It's got Hell, Armageddon, Antipas, the brazen bull, Zeus, Balaam, Balac, the children of Israel, Canaanites, angels, a talking donkey, fornication, Motorhead, Lemmy, Frankenfurter, Sardis, playstation, Christmas, Philadelphia, David, Cheech, Chong, Cheech and Chong, Billy Graham, Richard Nixon, Ron DeSantis, Disney World, robux, Laodiceans, Donald Trump, Mordor and the Roman Empire  #666 #SketchComedy #Sketch #Comedy #Sketch Comedy #Atheist #Science #History #Atheism #Antitheist #ConspiracyTheory #Conspiracy #Conspiracies #Sceptical #Scepticism #Mythology #Religion #Devil #Satan #Bible #Skeptic #Debunk #SatanIsMySuperhero #Podcast #funny #sketch #skit #comedy #comedyshow #comedyskits #HeavyMetal #weird #RomanEmpire #Rome #AncientRome #Romans #RomanEmperor

In this episode we investigate the claim made by conservative Christians every year that Christmas is being threatened by forces they are weirdly shy about specifically naming. But of course the first and foremost piece of cognitive dissonance we must force our way through when examining the threat to Christmas is where it has ACTUALLY come from, historically. Christmas had been frowned upon and ignored in a lot of Protestant places throughout Europe for as long as the Protestant movement had existed. Their reasoning was pretty straight forward. Unbelievably straightforward and logical for Christians actually. The Christmas celebration is simply not Christian. The earliest mention of any Christmas celebration is from a Roman Bishop in 129ce. Long after the New Testament authors had passed. So while not celebrated by some Europeans, the first official state ban was introduced by the British Puritan Parliament in 1647. And that's where our story will start.

In this episode we tempt the algorithm to bring all kinds of crazies to our door with the most click baity number there is, 666 mark of the best. This entire episode is absolutely not a way of correcting a typo on our order to our merch supplier.Obviously it goes without saying 666 is relevant to anyone mentally unstable, and this show,Because of its appearance in the Book of Revelation.Now I'm not going to get into what all this means here and now. We have a series dedicated to a verse by verse explanation of the Book of Revelation. So far we've already pulled apart three chapters.But suffice it to say, 666 has significance in the world of crazy, because of that quote I just gave you.

In this episode we once again, pick up the Book of Revelation at chapter three and continue calling out early Christian churches in Asia Minor for not being Christian enough. For not hating enough. For not paying enough. We have already done three episodes on this book which you can easily find in the feed. But for those of you who have not studied for this exam, here's a quick recap. John of Patmos is sitting all alone in a cave like a totally normal person, writing a letter to seven churches in modern day Turkey. Back in chapter two, he started to pretend he was Jesus. So far John pretending to be Jesus has called out the church of Ephesus for not loving Jesus hard enough. But praised them for hating a cult of wife swappers. He's warned the church of Smyrna the devil is coming to town to incarcerate them all. He's called out the church of Pergamon for eating barbeque and fornicating. Then he told Pergamon Jesus was coming with a sword in his mouth to fight them all. John has singled out a member of the church of Thyatira called Jezebel. For also eating barbeque and fornicating. What on earth has chapter three got in install for us?Special guest appearances by Frankenfurter, Sardis, playstation, Christmas, Philadelphia, David, Cheech, Chong, Cheech and Chong, Billy Graham, Richard Nixon, Ron DeSantis, Disney World, robux, Laodiceans, Donald Trump, Mordor and the Roman Empire   #666 #SketchComedy #Sketch #Comedy #Sketch Comedy #Atheist #Science #History #Atheism #Antitheist #ConspiracyTheory #Conspiracy #Conspiracies #Sceptical #Scepticism #Mythology #Religion #Devil #Satan #Bible #Skeptic #Debunk #SatanIsMySuperhero #Podcast #funny #sketch #skit #comedy #comedyshow #comedyskits #HeavyMetal #weird #RomanEmpire #Rome #AncientRome #Romans #RomanEmperor 

While the Governor of Guam has defended the use of nuclear weapons and long-range missiles in the territory, affected landowners are expressing concerns.

In this episode we're diving deep down into the dark and seedy world of adult animation. Helluva Boss is an adult animated cartoon about 3 demons, Blitzo, Moxxie and Millie who work at a company called I.M.P which stands for Immediate Murder Professionals. These demons live in one of the seven rings of Hell and murder people in the living world. Hazbin Hotel is another animated series, set in the same universe as Helluva Boss and came out at the same time. In it, fallen angel Lucifer's daughter, Charlie Morningstar attempts to rehabilitate the souls of sinners in Hell. Charlie hopes she can give these souls a chance to ascend to Heaven. All the angels in Heaven and all the forgiving Christians on Earth disagree.This episode also features special cameo appearances and mentions of Donald Trump, Vivziepop, Zoophobia, Cameron Walden, The Son of 666, YouTube, SpindleHorse Toons, A24, Amazon Prime, bisexual, LGBT, Twitter, Kid Rock, Bud Light, AR15, Presbyterian, Alastor, Kruptos, Lilith, feminism, Timothy Daniel Pool, Timcast, Outrage Over Amazon Show Praised Lucifer, Making Heaven Bad Guys, Hazbin Hotel Sparks Controversy, Feminists INSIST 5 Foot Female Black Belt Could TAKE ON The Average MAN AND WIN, Rhonda Rousey, Tim Pool, Target CANCELS PRIDE MONTH, Anti Woke Backlash WINS, Woke Companies BACK DOWN Over Bud Light Effect, ALPHA MALE Dating Trans Woman Says I'M NOT GAY, But He Is Absolutely A Gay Man But ASHAMED, Anthony Gramuglia, TikTok, Satanic Panic, LGBTQ+, The Crusades, Michael Knowles, Amazon Prime calls Satan the hero, Satanism, Jenn Nizza, The Washington Times, Washington Post, New York Times, Fox News, manga, Anime, Japan, Genesis 2, Genesis 1, 1998 Camry, Jesus, furries, YHWH #666 #SketchComedy #Sketch #Comedy #Sketch Comedy #Atheist #Science #History #Atheism #Antitheist #ConspiracyTheory #Conspiracy #Conspiracies #Sceptical #Scepticism #Mythology #Religion #Devil #Satan #Skeptic #Debunk #SatanIsMySuperhero #Podcast #funny #sketch #skit #comedy #comedyshow #comedyskits #HeavyMetal #Animation #HazbinHotel #HelluvaBoss #Vivziepop #SpindleToons Sauces https://movieweb.com/vivienne-medrano-jessica-vosk-daphne-rubin-vega-hazbin-hotel-interview/ https://decider.com/2024/01/31/hazbin-hotel-satanic-panic/ amazon.com/Hazbin-Hotel-Season-1/product-reviews/B0CLM9YR5T/ref=cm_cr_getr_d_paging_btm_next_2?pageNumber=2&reviewerType=all_reviews&filterByStar=one_star

This is the second part of our marathon interview with Carl Shulman. The first episode is on the economy and national security after AGI. You can listen to them in either order!If we develop artificial general intelligence that's reasonably aligned with human goals, it could put a fast and near-free superhuman advisor in everyone's pocket. How would that affect culture, government, and our ability to act sensibly and coordinate together?It's common to worry that AI advances will lead to a proliferation of misinformation and further disconnect us from reality. But in today's conversation, AI expert Carl Shulman argues that this underrates the powerful positive applications the technology could have in the public sphere.Links to learn more, highlights, and full transcript.As Carl explains, today the most important questions we face as a society remain in the "realm of subjective judgement" -- without any "robust, well-founded scientific consensus on how to answer them." But if AI 'evals' and interpretability advance to the point that it's possible to demonstrate which AI models have truly superhuman judgement and give consistently trustworthy advice, society could converge on firm or 'best-guess' answers to far more cases.If the answers are publicly visible and confirmable by all, the pressure on officials to act on that advice could be great. That's because when it's hard to assess if a line has been crossed or not, we usually give people much more discretion. For instance, a journalist inventing an interview that never happened will get fired because it's an unambiguous violation of honesty norms — but so long as there's no universally agreed-upon standard for selective reporting, that same journalist will have substantial discretion to report information that favours their preferred view more often than that which contradicts it.Similarly, today we have no generally agreed-upon way to tell when a decision-maker has behaved irresponsibly. But if experience clearly shows that following AI advice is the wise move, not seeking or ignoring such advice could become more like crossing a red line — less like making an understandable mistake and more like fabricating your balance sheet.To illustrate the possible impact, Carl imagines how the COVID pandemic could have played out in the presence of AI advisors that everyone agrees are exceedingly insightful and reliable. But in practice, a significantly superhuman AI might suggest novel approaches better than any we can suggest.In the past we've usually found it easier to predict how hard technologies like planes or factories will change than to imagine the social shifts that those technologies will create — and the same is likely happening for AI.Carl Shulman and host Rob Wiblin discuss the above, as well as:The risk of society using AI to lock in its values.The difficulty of preventing coups once AI is key to the military and police.What international treaties we need to make this go well.How to make AI superhuman at forecasting the future.Whether AI will be able to help us with intractable philosophical questions.Whether we need dedicated projects to make wise AI advisors, or if it will happen automatically as models scale.Why Carl doesn't support AI companies voluntarily pausing AI research, but sees a stronger case for binding international controls once we're closer to 'crunch time.'Opportunities for listeners to contribute to making the future go well.Chapters:Cold open (00:00:00)Rob's intro (00:01:16)The interview begins (00:03:24)COVID-19 concrete example (00:11:18)Sceptical arguments against the effect of AI advisors (00:24:16)Value lock-in (00:33:59)How democracies avoid coups (00:48:08)Where AI could most easily help (01:00:25)AI forecasting (01:04:30)Application to the most challenging topics (01:24:03)How to make it happen (01:37:50)International negotiations and coordination and auditing (01:43:54)Opportunities for listeners (02:00:09)Why Carl doesn't support enforced pauses on AI research (02:03:58)How Carl is feeling about the future (02:15:47)Rob's outro (02:17:37)Producer and editor: Keiran HarrisAudio engineering team: Ben Cordell, Simon Monsour, Milo McGuire, and Dominic ArmstrongTranscriptions: Katy Moore

So maybe more accurately we will be diving face first into Blackie's comically ridiculous codpiece.Blackie grew up in Florida and New York in the 60s and considered following his uncle into a career in professional baseball. But it was the stage that called young Lawless and he learned to play guitar. This episode features cameo guest star appearances from Ace Frehley, Kiss, Gene Simmons, Paul Stanley, The New York Dolls, Johnny Thunders, Arthur Kane, Killer Kane, Sunset Strip, Sister, Nikki Six, Motley Crue, Shout at the Devil, London, Izzy Stradlin, Steve Adler, Slash, Guns n Roses, Fred Coury, Cinderella, Los Angeles, MTV, White Anglo Saxon Protestant, Show no Mercy, Alice Cooper, Ryne Duren, Iron Maiden, Capitol Records, Mike Varney, Animal (Fuck Like a Beast), Music For Nations, Tipper Gore, Filthy 15, PRMC, Parent Resource Music Center, N.W.O.B.H.M., New Wave of British Heavy Metal, Dungeons and Dragons, Steve Gutenberg, Can't Stop The Music, Golden Raspberry Awards, The Village People, The Dungeonmaster, Ragewar: The Challenges of Excalibrate, Digital Knights, Troubadour, Sammi Curr, Trick or Treat, T1000, Terminator 2: Judgment Day, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Robert Patrick, Crimson Idol, Demi Lovato, Holy Fvck, The Occult, MAGA, Qanon, Harvard, Donald Trump, George.

In addition to his academic work, Vettese writes on a wide array of environmental topics for a popular audience, and has had essays published in the Guardian, the New Statesman, Jacobin, N+1, Book Forum, and Boston Review. In Sentientist Conversations we talk about the two most important questions: “what's real?” & “who matters?” Sentientism is "evidence, reason & compassion for all sentient beings." The video of our conversation is ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠here on YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠. 00:00 Clips! 01:04 Welcome 02:58 Troy's Intro - Half-Earth Socialism "what does it look like to have an ecologically stable society... a good relationship with other beings on this planet and also to ensure a good life for everyone" - The Half-Earth Socialism computer game & maybe a future board-game 05:44 What's Real? - #Ecosocialism and #neoliberalism in conversation with each other - Growing up in a fairly conservative but non-religious household - Being a Young Tory, reading Milton Friedman - In early 20's "a crisis of faith in terms of this conservative worldview" due to the Iraq war and the 2008 financial crisis - Reading Marx and New Left Review - Exploring the environmental crisis - A sensitive child, then a toxic masculinity phase as a teenager (callous, eating meat, machismo), then, alongside the crisis of faith in conservatism, a wish to return to childhood passion for nature - Gravitating towards ecosocialism - Didn't "grow up with red diapers" (being brought up in a left wing family) so feeling inoculated as knows the political right very well as "I came from the right to the left" - #greenwashing measures "I wanted to understand where these ideas had come from... no one had done an intellectual history of these things" - Challenging the common leftist view that the right & neoliberalism doesn't have any real intellectual depth "I took it more seriously than most socialists" - "I thought the left should have more concrete ideas of their own... match the rigour of these conservative ones" - "'We'll figure it out after the revolution'... that's not enough" - Mother who ran for the Green party in elections - Not religious now - "Sceptical of thinking that there's one true path... one true way of relating to each other or to animals"... relativism, Kuhnian (paradigms)? - The neoliberal view of the market as the optimal information processor - Being rational but also appreciating the spiritual/subliminal/subjective?
