Podcasts about Simulation

In this episode, Rory speaks with Sameer Munshi, America's Behavioral Science and Simulation Leader at EY, about how behavioral science and AI-powered simulation are transforming the way financial firms test ideas, understand client behavior, and make strategic decisions. Sameer shares his journey from product development at Merrill Lynch to building applied behavioral science teams at EY, where he helps organizations design experiments that improve adoption, engagement, and real-world outcomes. He explains how AI simulation can recreate synthetic populations to test messaging, pricing strategies, and client interactions before they are deployed, shifting firms from guessing what clients might do to predicting how they will actually behave. They also explore the growing gap between what people say and what they do, why traditional research methods often fall short, and how behavioral insights can help advisors communicate more effectively in a rapidly changing world. Want to know how AI simulation could help advisors test strategies before implementing them with real clients? Curious how behavioral science can help financial professionals design better conversations and decisions? Find out the answers to these questions and more in this fascinating conversation with Sameer Munshi.

You've been told your whole life that being a good person is the goal. But what if that label is the very thing making you a target?In this episode I'm breaking down why defining yourself as “good” can open you up to exploitation, how narcissists and predators specifically target people who pride themselves on kindness, and why doing the “right” thing is almost never the same as doing the “good” thing.What we get into: ∙ (00:00) Whoever defines “good” defines you, and that's the trap ∙ (03:13) How narcissists use victim stories and love bombing to get inside your category of “good person” ∙ (07:20) When “being good” means internalizing other people's abuse as your own fault ∙ (18:43) Why morality makes intelligent people ignore their own instincts ∙ (33:38) Words as spells: how repetition creates belief without truth ∙ (42:07) Gods in your pocket, subjugated goddesses, and the inversion of powerThis isn't about becoming cold or cruel. It's about becoming conscious.If you've ever stayed too long, given too much, or silenced yourself because that's what good people do, this one's for you.••So You're Living in a Simulation is independent and listener supported.

Digital systems can imitate intelligence, but they cannot form the unified inner world that makes a mind awake. Andres Gomez Emilsson explains why coherence, boundaries, and lived integration are essential features of consciousness that code alone cannot replicate...yet. The conversation explores the limits of simulation, the illusion of depth in generative models, and why machine behavior is not the same as experience. What emerges is a clearer picture of where digital minds stop and where our minds begin. If AGI is really our goal, we seem to be going about it all wrong. And that's a big "if."Part 2: https://youtu.be/zJ08l61JI58PATREON https://www.patreon.com/c/demystifysciPARADOX LOST PRE-SALE: https://buy.stripe.com/7sY7sKdoN5d29eUdYddEs0bHOMEBREW MUSIC - Check out our new album!Hard Copies (Vinyl): FREE SHIPPING https://demystifysci-shop.fourthwall.com/products/vinyl-lp-secretary-of-nature-everything-is-so-good-hereStreaming:https://secretaryofnature.bandcamp.com/album/everything-is-so-good-herePARADIGM DRIFThttps://demystifysci.com/paradigm-drift-show00:00 Go!

Nicky and Eric do their best (or worst) Chewbacca impressions as they discuss the dark story of Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga. Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga is a 2022 Lego-themed action-adventure game developed by Traveller's Tales and published by Warner Bros. Games. It is the sixth installment in the Lego Star Wars video game series. The game is an adaptation of all nine entries in the Skywalker Saga series of films.Press Any Button hosts Nicky (a new gamer) and Eric (a lifetime gamer) are a married couple who both love video games. For every video game they will discuss its past (history of the game, developers story, and fun facts), present (game play, game review and strategy), and future (will there be a sequel?? A movie?)  BUT WAIT THERE'S MORE… Every game also comes with a challenge presented by the host that chose the game. If the challenge is not completed then whoever failed has to do a video game rap! So if you want to learn more about video games, hear some nerdy video game raps, or just have a good time this is the podcast for you. We try to cover all types of video games including: Retro and New video games Playstation, Nintendo, Xbox, Sega, and PC games Any and all genres including RPG, Simulation, Beat em up, platforming, mystery, first person shooter, sandbox, puzzle, action adventure, etc.Follow us on  Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/pressanybutton_podcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Credits:Nicky SmithEric LuedtkeMusic by Mark Spurlock and Eric LuedtkeReferences:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lego_Star_Wars:_The_Skywalker_Sagahttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lego_Batman:_Legacy_of_the_Dark_Knighthttps://www.polygon.com/features/22891555/lego-star-wars-the-skywalker-saga-has-led-to-extensive-crunch-at-tt-games/https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/LEGO_Star_Wars:_The_Skywalker_Sagahttps://www.lego.com/en-us/games/lego-batman-legacy-dark-knighthttps://legogames.fandom.com/wiki/LEGO_Star_Wars:_The_Skywalker_Saga#Trivia

When a friendly offer isn't so friendly… should Chuck have said something? First Walker and now Shaheed as it appears the Seahawks and Rashid Shaheed were very far apart in negotiations and the wide receiver is set to hit free agency. We had discussed potentially paying Shaheed $14 million per year, but it turns out that he is looking for something closer to $18 million and we'd pass on that. :30- Yesterday we talked to Mariners infield coach Perry Hill and asked him about the analytics tied to JP's defense and what he would say to the critics of the shortstop's defense. Today, we revisit the conversation and discuss Hill's response and our thoughts on JP's defensive contributions. :45- Well THIS is a wild tale… are we in the simulation?

In diesem Science-Fiction Special widmen sich Eva und Peter einem zentralen Motiv der Science-Fiction: Simulationen, virtuelle Welten und künstliche Realitäten. Zusammen gehen sie der Frage nach, ob unsere Realität tatsächlich „echt“ ist, oder ob wir vielleicht selbst in einer Simulation leben? In Filmen wie Welt am Draht und Matrix ist unsere Realität nur eine Illusion. Was hat es mit der Simulationstheorie auf sich und liefert das holografischen Prinzip ein Antwort auf all diese Fragen?

Today, Gavi FINALLY gets to talk about his favorite topic, Jean Beaudrillard's "Simulacra and Simulation," which explains Hyperreality. "The Matrix" film is allegorical to the postmodern condition of Hyperreality. We discuss examples of simulacra, Hyperreality, and the history of how we (in the western canon) came to view the world this way. We discuss simulated reality as it relates to christian fundamentalism and the US.If you have any thoughts, opinions, or questions about this topic (or corrections) please let us know either by comment or by emailing us at LeavingEdenPod@gmail.com!

Send a textWhat happens when a movement-first profession steps into a simulation lab built for physiology and decision-making under pressure? We sit down with Denise Romano, an assistant professor leading physical therapy simulation at Binghamton University, to unpack how PT learners can safely practice high-stakes mobility long before they enter acute care. From AFib in the ICU to COPD patients whose vitals shift during transfers, Denise maps out realistic scenarios that force students to balance safety, lines and tubes, and evolving clinical data while communicating clearly as a team.We walk through a full landscape of PT-focused simulations: early infection control adapted from nursing with Glow Germ, mobility checkoffs in hospital-like spaces, ventilator cases requiring careful progression, and standardized patient interviews for differential diagnosis. Denise explains why PT relies heavily on SPs for authentic movement, where mannequins still shine for physiologic fidelity, and how thoughtful debriefs convert messy moments into durable clinical judgment. Her use of entrustability scales tied to EPAs gives faculty a shared framework to chart each learner's path from novice to entry-ready clinician, with formative feedback that guides safer practice.The conversation also tackles the big barrier: unlike nursing, PT lacks the large-scale evidence to replace a portion of clinical hours with simulation. Denise makes a compelling case for a multi-site study to unlock that recognition, particularly as acute care placements tighten and risk tolerance narrows. She also shares a favorite classroom memory that turned a tangled SCD mistake into a lifelong safety cue, highlighting why simulated missteps are often the most memorable teachers. If you care about physical therapy education, clinical placements, competency assessment, or the future of healthcare simulation, you'll leave with concrete ideas and renewed urgency to give PT a stronger seat at the table.Subscribe for more conversations on simulation, clinical education, and the skills that move patient care forward.

Matt Paige interviews Vishnu Hari (Vish), CEO and founder of Ego (YC W24), about shifting focus from AGI to “humanness”: AI characters that behave like people through memory, emotions, personality, needs, and desires.Referencing Ego's paper “Behavior is All You Need,” Vish argues consumer AI for entertainment must be relatable and character-like rather than purely task-smart, drawing inspiration from MMORPG social dynamics and Character.AI's appeal.Ego initially pursued a 3D sim-world vision inspired by Sword Art Online and Westworld, but found accessibility, game development, and perception latency challenging; internal Roblox tests (“Chatterblocks”) showed the key gap is natural speech beyond turn-taking.Vish discusses simulations as a path toward real-world robotics via a partnership with Menlo AI, critiques task-bound robots versus agents with inner lives, suggests retention as the main metric, and shares views on AGI definitions, safety in entertainment, technology impacts, simulation theory, and consciousness.Ego's work is at egoai.com and the company is hiring in SF, Singapore, and Tokyo.--Key Moments:00:57 Behavior Is All You Need02:41 Anatomy of Humanlike Agents03:29 Game Bots to Real People05:10 Building Ego and Sim Worlds06:35 Why Speech Feels Human08:27 From Sims to Robotics10:29 Her vs Helper Robots13:17 Measuring Humanness by Retention15:27 Continual Learning and Personality16:57 Meta Lessons on Empty Worlds18:08 Lightning Round on AGI20:31 IP Characters vs UGC Worlds21:55 Risks and Just Tuesday24:11 Simulation and Consciousness--Key Links:EgoConnect with Rowan on LinkedInMentioned in this episode:Free report from HatchWorks AI — State of AI 2026What's real in AI this year, what's hype, and what leaders should prioritize — including production lessons, designing for agents, and governance. https://hatchworks.com/state-of-ai-2026/AI Opportunity FinderFeeling overwhelmed by all the AI noise out there?

She discusses the unique nature of awakenings, the role of higher intelligence in guiding our journeys, and the importance of self-discovery. Casey also delves into the implications of time travel, the duality of positive and negative experiences, and the significance of awareness in healing. Throughout the discussion, she emphasizes the need for curiosity and the power of personal growth, encouraging listeners to embrace their journeys and connect with their true selves.Kundalini awakening can lead to profound out-of-body experiences.Awakenings are unique to each individual and can manifest differently.Galactic beings are not confined to a single planet and can explore the universe.Higher intelligence guides us through our spiritual journeys.Self-discovery is essential for personal growth and understanding.Time travel can be experienced through out-of-body states.Preparation for out-of-body experiences involves calming the central nervous system.Negative entities may reflect our own unresolved issues.Awareness and acceptance are key to healing and growth.The journey of self-discovery is ongoing and essential for evolution.

In this episode, we welcome back return guest Hank Bessembinder for a deeply analytical conversation spanning leveraged ETFs, volatility, and the future of performance measurement. Hank walks us through his latest research on leveraged single-stock ETFs, clarifying the misunderstood concept of "volatility decay" and decomposing returns into rebalancing effects and frictions. The results are striking: meaningful underperformance relative to simple levered benchmarks, driven by both embedded costs and the mechanics of daily resets. In the second half, we shift gears to a more foundational question: What is a return, really? Hank challenges the dominance of arithmetic averages and even geometric means, arguing that neither truly captures the long-term investor experience. He introduces the concept of the sustainable return—a measure based on the cash flows an investment can support without depleting capital—and outlines how it could reshape academic finance and real-world financial planning. Key Points From This Episode:   (0:01:03) Welcome back to Hank Bessembinder and overview of his recent research. (0:06:16) What "volatility decay" really means—and why the term may be misleading. (0:09:16) Why volatility does not necessarily reduce mean returns in constant leverage ETFs. (0:10:11) Ex-ante decision-making and the wedge between mean and median outcomes. (0:11:26) Single-stock vs. index leveraged ETFs: Similar mechanics, different magnitudes. (0:12:52) Why past research has been so cautionary about long-term use of leveraged ETFs.

(0:19:46) Empirical results: Long funds underperform by ~0.8% per month; short funds by ~1% per month. (0:21:10) Decomposing underperformance into rebalancing effects and frictions. (0:24:15) The real (though rare) possibility of returns below –100% in leveraged products. (0:27:04) Simulation results over 50 years: Skewness, negative medians, and rebalancing drag. (0:28:38) Why volatility tends to coincide with reversals—and why reversals drive rebalancing costs. (0:31:15) Practical guidance: Who, if anyone, should use leveraged single-stock ETFs. (0:34:58) The limitations of arithmetic means and single-period models. (0:36:55) Why aggregate investors are not buy-and-hold investors. (0:39:17) The shortcomings of arithmetic averages, alphas, and Sharpe ratios for long-horizon measurement. (0:42:38) Why log returns don't solve the core measurement problems. (0:44:56) The case for dollar-weighted returns and the limitations of IRRs. (0:48:18) Modified IRRs and their role in capturing aggregate investor outcomes. (0:50:14) Introducing the sustainable return: Measuring what can be withdrawn without depleting capital. (0:53:22) Expected sustainable return and its close relationship to the geometric mean. (0:56:09) Proportional sustainable return and withdrawal-based performance measurement. (1:00:00) Individual stock returns through the lens of sustainable returns. (1:00:53) Nudging academic finance beyond the "econometric streetlight."

How Shared Standards Can Bring Down the Heat (with Gabe Reedy) | Curious Now 29 Gabriel Reedy, Editor-in-Chief of Advances in Simulation, joins us to talk about how shared standards can bring down the heat in workplace conflicts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-center-for-medical-simulation/id1279266822 How do we as teachers and clinicians provide the conditions for people to thrive? If we want people to get better, we have to agree in a shared direction to move regarding what better looks like. How can we make sure that standards are continually growing with the field and with evidence from what has actually happened in the world so that our practice doesn't get static or stagnant?

A kobold approaches! He's looking for someone to help him with his social skills to gain greater friends at the taverns. Do you roll for behavior analysis clinical skills? Or attack him with your +2 broadsword? While we've definitely discussed role-playing activities in training contexts, recent years have seen a huge increase in interest in gamification in learning a variety of skills. One area of research is in the use of tabletop role-playing games in therapeutic and clinical settings. But is there any research to back up the hype? This week we're joined by active RPG player clinical user, Danielle Yang, to dive into the research base as we work to answer the question: could the use of RPGs in treatment be considered behavior analytic? Interested in learning more about this topic? Danielle offers a deeper-dive course into the use of RPGs in treatment and skill planning. You can also join her Discord to chat with other RPG/ABA practitioners. And keep your eye out for a bonus episode this month where we'll be demoing just HOW a tabletop RPG could be used in a clinical setting. This episode is available for 1.0 LEARNING CEU.

Transitioning to competency-based education in nursing simulation education requires a systematic approach to curriculum assessment. Using the University's Online Simulation System, 2 experts selected American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN) behavioral performance indicators that best matched behavioral outcomes associated with simulation student roles in 5 scenarios. In this podcast and article, Dr. Anita Stephen describes the 3-phased approach they used to align cognitive simulation objectives to competencies identified in the AACN behavioral performance indicators. This approach can be used by faculty in other schools. 

We're joined by N. Katherine Hayles, Distinguished Research Professor in English at UCLA, to think through cognition in the broadest and most scaled sense. Hayles is among the foundational thinkers of posthumanism in its Anglophone register, and this conversation tracks her intellectual trajectory from the question of how we became posthuman to her most recent project: an integrated cognitive framework that extends from bacteria to AI. The opening provocation is one she has been developing since large language models appeared as a genuinely literary phenomenon, the claim that LLMs do not speak natural language but produce a computational simulation of it.The umwelt of an LLM (its 'operative world-horizon,' in Uexküll's sense) overlaps with the human umwelt enough for communication to occur, but the divergences are large and consequential. This leads to the question of cognition itself. Against definitions that make consciousness the threshold of cognitive status, Hayles proposes the SIEPAL framework: Sensing, Interpreting, Responding, Anticipating, Learning, under which bacteria, algorithms, and ecosystems all qualify as cognitive. The non-conscious, on this account, isn't pre-cognitive but is in many ways more cognitively capable: faster, closer to environmental noise, less committed to the narratives of coherence that consciousness requires.The final section breaks genuinely new ground with Hayles's turn to analog computation: the argument that digital computation is a historical blip, that biological life has always operated on analog principles, and that the future of computation (neuromorphic chips, organoid computers, hybrid analog-digital architectures) represents not a departure from but a return to what life has always done. She proposes the analog humanities as a corrective to digital humanities, and the computational humanities as the synthesis that might finally close the gap between biological and technological cognition. This one is very much worth enjoying in dialogue with our previous epsiode on the digital.Some references:N.

Today's episode is the third in a series of three that examine the potential consequences for China if a military operation against Taiwan were to fail. In each of these episodes, we're speaking with authors of a recently published German Marshall Fund study of the possible costs that China would incur across four different, but interrelated areas: the Chinese economy, the military, Chinese social stability, and international costs. The report is titled, “If China Attacks Taiwan” and it is posted on GMFUS.org.  Our podcast today focuses on the potential costs for the Chinese economy.To recap, the study considered two scenarios that could take place in the next five years. In the first scenario, a minor skirmish escalates into a multi-week maritime blockade of Taiwan by China. Although several dozen members of the Chinese and Taiwanese military are killed, U.S. intervention eventually forces China to de-escalate.  In the second scenario, a conflict escalates into a full-fledged invasion, with Chinese strikes on not only Taiwan but also U.S. forces in Japan and Guam. After several months of heavy fighting, Chinese forces are degraded and eventually withdraw after suffering many tens of thousands of casualties.Our guests today are Charlie Vest and Logan Wright, who co-authored the chapter on the implications for the Chinese economy of a failed operation against Taiwan. Logan is a partner at Rhodium Group and leads the firm's work on China's economy and its global impact. Charlie is an associate director at Rhodium Group, where he manages corporate research and advisory work on China.Timestamps:[00:00] Introduction[02:34] Key Takeaways: China's Ambitions vs. Economic Realities [05:41] The Escalation Dilemma in China's Decisionmaking[09:56] Immediate Disruptions to Trade and FDI[13:52] Gray-Zone Military Engagement and Political Pressures[16:48] Could Beijing Underestimate the Costs of US Intervention? [24:12] Policy Tools and Limitations for Economic Stabilization and Recovery[27:19] Long-Term Economic Effects[29:24] Impact of Social Instability

In this throwback episode of the Awake & Winning Podcast, Kaylor sits down with Mark Groves for a raw, high-level conversation about social media, nervous system health, and what it actually takes to stay authentic when the internet is trying to hijack your brain. Mark breaks down why he left Instagram (and why he came back), how validation and family dynamics can quietly shape our online behavior, and why modern platforms keep the body stuck in a constant state of social "threat." They dive into addiction, boundaries, oversharing vs real vulnerability, and the uncomfortable truth: you can't be free if you can't choose "no."  If you've ever felt drained, reactive, or dependent on metrics—this episode will help you reset your relationship with attention, identity, and integrity.   Episode Highlights: social media addiction, nervous system regulation, validation wounds, mother-son dynamics, boundaries vs walls, oversharing vs vulnerability, authenticity with strategy, dopamine loops, blue light and sleep, online criticism resilience, identity and freedom, choosing "no"       Takeaways:  Social media can trigger survival wiring, not just "bad habits" Validation seeking often masks a deeper relational wound Your body treats social threat like physical threat Build boundaries by starting with "walls" then refining Oversharing asks others to hold what they didn't earn Vulnerability shares the lesson, not the emotional dump Freedom comes from choice, not dependence     If this episode lit a fire under you, don't keep it to yourself.

Pour le deuxième épisode de notre mini-série sur les théories du complot, on plonge dans une question qui fait dérailler pas mal de monde : et si notre réalité n'était pas la réalité d'origine, mais une copie? L'idée semble sortir d'un film, mais elle est aussi discutée sérieusement en philosophie, et parfois même en physique, surtout depuis le fameux raisonnement de Nick Bostrom et son trilemme dérangeant.On remonte aux origines : de Platon et ses illusions jusqu'aux mondes virtuels d'aujourd'hui, en passant par l'effet Mandela, la double fente, et cette impression troublante que le réel se “précise” seulement au moment où on l'observe. On examine aussi les limites du cosmos, le paradoxe de Fermi, et les arguments de “rendu à la demande” qui transforment une hypothèse de science-fiction en scénario au moins pris au sérieux, même si rien ne la prouve.Suivez-nous dans cet épisode : on regarde pourquoi l'hypothèse est aussi accrocheuse, puis on fait le tri entre ce qui est solide, ce qui est spéculatif, et ce qui relève surtout d'une bonne histoire. Et à la fin, on vous donne notre verdict, le plus honnête possible avec ce qu'on sait aujourd'hui.En After show : Bielefeld, la ville qui n'existe pas… du moins, selon Internet. Une blague née sur Usenet en 1994, trois questions impossibles à gagner, et une “conspiration” tellement tenace que la ville finit par embarquer, jusqu'à offrir un million d'euros à quiconque pourrait prouver qu'elle n'existe pas.

Send a textWhat if the most powerful fix for a bad clinical outcome isn't another skills refresher, but a simulation that tests your actual system under real constraints? We sit down with Dr. Sarah Beebe—nurse midwife, educator, and founder of 2Bs Consulting—to unpack how translational simulation turns training into measurable change. From a teen birth scenario that ignited curiosity and clarity to a clinic code that exposed equipment gaps and role confusion, Sarah shows how reenacting real cases can reveal the truth that root cause summaries often miss.We dig into the nuts and bolts: moving beyond individual blame to examine carts, defibrillators, room layout, staffing, and communication flows. Sarah explains why language matters, how psychological safety unlocks honest reflection, and what “good” debriefing looks like when the goal is system redesign. Then we zoom out to strategy. Hospitals already track length of stay, sepsis bundle compliance, code frequency, and time-to-shock—so use that data to script scenarios. When dashboards drive training, simulation aligns with current risks, and teams can watch metrics improve as workflows are fixed, roles are clarified, and equipment is streamlined.AI is changing the game, too. We explore practical, near-term uses: generating scenario variants that match caseload trends, creating virtual standardized patients, and supporting debriefs with timing and communication analytics. Sarah's research in screen-based simulation highlights how digital tools can assess diagnostic reasoning at scale, while preserving the facilitator's judgment at the bedside. The throughline is clear: treat simulation as continuous quality improvement—measure, simulate, fix, remeasure—and watch confidence return after tough events.If you care about safer care, faster recognition, and teams that trust their processes, this conversation offers a roadmap you can start using today.

Pigweed and Crowhill drink and review a Copper Legend, an Oktoberfest from Jack's Abbey brewing. The topic for today: Has the development of AI changed our perspective on whether or not we're living in a simulation? Starting with Nick Bostrom's famous essay, the boys discuss the issues and why we might not be as "real" as we think we are. The development of AI has made Bostrom's essay even more significant. The idea that simulated minds might soon outnumber "real" minds is no longer an abstract science fiction question. On top of all this, we have stories about discussion groups just for AI -- where the bots talk to the bots. Another approach to the issue is to question what "real" means anyway. Our concept of the real, the physical, seems less and less likely as we discover that the hard substances around us are mostly empty space. It might be all empty space, with no "things" there at all. It's no longer a question for college freshmen in a late-night dorm chat. We have to ask ourselves what we're going to do when AI starts to claim that it's sentient. Finally, how does all this affect the way we live our lives? How does it affect questions of meaning and purpose? What about theological questions?

We continue to dig through the Epstein file dump, finding Rothschild connections, bizarre video interview sessions with Steve Bannon, damning phone calls, plus Melinda Gates responds to the embarrassing suggestions that Bill Gates dosed her.Tempo is offering our listeners 60-percent off their first box at tempomeals.com/brokensim!Make life easier by getting harder and discover your options at BlueChew.com using the promo code "BROKEN"!Visit https://prizepicks.onelink.me/LME0/BROKEN and use code "BROKEN" and get $50 in lineups when you play your first $5 lineup!Go to gemini.com/card to learn more!

Heeeeeey, it's Rob's birthday. Time to pick this month's theme! Maybe it's the near decade's worth of podcasting, but this February, Rob decided that his impeding aging anniversary should also receive celebration in the form of "OOPS! All Rob picked articles". So, given carte blanche to talk about anything in the world of ABA, what did he choose? Well, first, he took the week off while we unlock last year's Winter Book Club on "The Science of Consequences" with a bonus interview with author Dr. Susan Schneider (interested in 2.5 CEs for free? Upgrading to the $10 level on Patreon is your answer). After that, he brings special guest, Danielle Yang, to the table to learn about the state of therapeutic role-playing games and how your weekly D+D game could be added into your ABA services. And finally, because it's been far too long and is one of the most mind-blowingly awesome procedures in his 20 years in the field, Rob brings back the Preschool Life Skills for a record-breaking THIRD time! The best part about Rob's birthday is by just listening to these episodes, you've already gotten him all the gifts he could ever want. NOTE: We talk a lot about the upcoming changes to the website. Well, due to some technical problems, we had to rush the new website news to...LAST WEEK! Hopefully abainsidetrack.com will take you straight there, but, if not, our new website is now HERE!

This week on Slingshot Nation, we pull back the curtain on the modern UFO narrative and ask a harder question: are we witnessing an alien invasion, or a carefully managed illusion designed to steer culture, economics, and belief? From military encounters with objects that defy physics, to infrared footage of UAPs absorbing missile strikes without damage, the conversation explores firsthand testimony, government disclosures, and the strange consistency of “orb” phenomena that seem less like machines and more like something else entirely. The discussion weaves together battlefield encounters, advanced weapons speculation, and the growing global coordination around disclosure, raising concerns about who controls the story and why now. As the episode unfolds, the focus shifts from the phenomena themselves to the narrative being built around them—Project Blue Beam theories, psychological and financial warfare, and warnings that “alien revelation” could justify sweeping global changes. The conversation challenges listeners to look past the spectacle and examine the messengers, motivations, and spiritual implications behind it all, asking whether this moment is less about visitors from the stars and more about deception, power, and a coming shift in how humanity understands reality itself.Please pray for Tony's wife, Lindsay, as she battles breast cancer.
