Full Show Notes: bengreenfieldlife.com/lnraw12 In this episode, I pull back the curtain on one of the single most powerful tools in my daily performance and recovery toolkit: Non-Sleep Deep Rest (NSDR) and its close cousin, Yoga Nidra. If you’ve ever found yourself burning the candle at both ends—waking up at 4:30 AM to fit in work, workouts, and family life—yet still trying to show up at your best, this is for you. I cover common myths around short sleep, explain why even “powered-through” fatigue adds up, and illustrate why most of us can’t cheat biology by running on six hours forever. You’ll get an honest play-by-play: what actually works for rebooting your system after a short night, the real science behind NSDR (think: brainwave states, nervous system regulation, and hormone balancing), and the exact guided meditations, apps, tech (like Sensate, or BrainTap), and routines to supercharge midday recovery.

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!

In this conversation, Adam Cox and Dale Turnbull explore the journey into hypnosis, the impact of NLP, and the significance of metaphors in personal development and therapy. They discuss how personal metaphors shape our understanding of life and the challenges of change. The dialogue delves into the concept of life as a game, the implications of simulation theory, and the metaphorical perspective on mental health. Dale shares insights from his experiences and upcoming workshops, emphasizing the importance of context in therapy and the power of metaphors in facilitating change.About Dale in his own wordsMetaphors of Movement operates within the realm of autogenic metaphor that is, metaphor generated naturally and internally by the client. All the metaphorical structures explored during the process arise organically from the client, with no content imposed by the therapist.Metaphors of Movement utilizes idiomatic communication to translate unconscious experience from the non-dominant hemisphere of the brain to conscious awareness (dominant hemisphere). This gives a fuller picture of the problem, creating harmonized understanding within the brain.Hi, I'm Dale Turnbull, an Englishman living in New York, and I help people create meaningful change through training, coaching, and mentoring in Metaphors of Movement. My aim is simple: to open up new possibilities for both clients and therapists by exploring how change really works.I got started in this field through Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), learning directly from the creators John Grinder and Richard Bandler. That experience kicked off a fascination with what is the differnece that truly makes the difference when it comes to change work. Since then, I've added a few more tools to my kit including Hypnosis, Provocative Change Works (PCW), Integral Eye Movement Therapy (IEMT) and Metaphors of Movement (MoM).After more than 12 years working with individuals and organizations, I'm now focused on sharing this powerful, eye-opening approach with others.

From climate change forecasts to cancer drug development, some of the world's biggest institutions rely on computer simulation models to predict outcomes. Governments use climate models to project future temperature changes, sea levels, and extreme weather patterns. Pharmaceutical companies use biological and molecular computer simulations to test their drugs.If our most important forecasts are coming from computer simulations… what does that say about the reality we're living in? Listen to full discussion here: https://www.youtube.com/live/LuVYTsevsfk?si=_9zNgfVkV4Up1o5l

Minnesota is the latest flashpoint in a federal crackdown involving ICE, Border Patrol and other agencies. But it's far from the only place targeted. The protests, the clashes and the violence have raised urgent questions about where this all leads. Amna Nawaz spoke with Claire Finkelstein about how it mirrors a U.S. civil war simulation she oversaw in 2024. It's part of our series, On Democracy.

Simulation training has become a critical pillar of modern EMS education, bridging the gap between classroom learning and real-world field performance. In this episode of the EMS World Podcast, host Mike McCabe sits down with Nathan Harrison, Vice President of Operations at Simulator Solutions, to explore how high-fidelity simulation is transforming the way EMS providers train, prepare, and stay safe. Harrison shares the unique origin story of Simulator Solutions, a family-founded company born from the need for realistic ambulance training environments. Drawing on engineering expertise rather than clinical backgrounds, the team has focused on recreating the physical realities of EMS work — from confined spaces to constant motion — so providers can train under conditions that closely mirror the field. These simulators allow learners to experience challenges such as claustrophobia, equipment placement, and vehicle movement long before they encounter them on the job. The conversation highlights the safety benefits of simulation, including reducing preventable injuries and improving situational awareness. Harrison explains how Simulator Solutions works closely with EMS professionals to refine products, ensuring they reflect real operational needs. Innovations like ambulance simulators with pneumatic movement systems, rollover simulators for extraction training, and an upcoming helicopter simulator demonstrate the company's commitment to realism and continuous improvement. As EMS agencies face increasing demands and risks, this episode underscores how immersive simulation training helps providers build confidence, sharpen skills, and ultimately deliver safer patient care — before lives are on the line.

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.

Fireside Project is a nonprofit that helps reduce the risks of psychedelic experiences through a free support line, coaching, education, and research. In this episode, Joshua White speaks with Psychedelics Today about why real-time support matters, what it takes to run a national hotline, and what Fireside learned after more than 30,000 conversations since launch. White shares how his background as a lawyer and his early hotline volunteering shaped Fireside's model. He also describes how festival harm reduction work, including lessons from Zendo-style support spaces, revealed a major gap: people often need help during an experience and after it ends. A major focus of the conversation is Lucy, Fireside's new voice-to-voice role-play simulator designed to improve psychedelic support skills through low-stakes practice. Early Themes With Fireside Project Joshua White introduces Fireside Project as an accessible safety net for people who are actively having psychedelic experiences or processing past ones. The support line launched on April 14, 2021, and relies on trained community volunteers who commit to a year of service. White explains why anonymity matters. He argues that a phone-based container can make it easier for callers to share vulnerable material without fear of judgment. He also frames service as a key part of integration for volunteers who want to give back or prepare for work in the psychedelic field. Core Insights From Fireside Project White describes the early difficulty of building Fireside from scratch, including legal design, insurance hurdles, training development, and fundraising. He credits seed support from David Bronner and Dr. Bronner's for helping Fireside prove that people would actually use a psychedelic support line. He also explains a key harm reduction point: calling emergency services during a non-medical psychedelic crisis can escalate risk. Fireside aims to help people regulate, re-orient, and stay safer when panic or fear shows up. Key concepts discussed include: The thin line between healing and traumatizing during high-intensity psychedelic states Why callers often need connection, not rescue How volunteer capacity and call volume shape how long conversations run The difference between support during an experience and longer-term coaching support Later Discussion and Takeaways With Fireside Project The conversation then turns to Lucy, a training tool White describes as a "flight simulator" for psychedelic practitioners. Lucy is not part of the live support line. Instead, it offers emotionally responsive role-play scenarios so trainees can practice staying grounded, tracking consent and boundaries, and responding to crisis cues. White also addresses recording and consent. He argues Fireside needs strong training feedback loops to improve safety and quality. He describes an anonymization approach designed to remove phone numbers, strip identifying details, and distort voices while preserving emotional tone. He also explains the post-call option for callers to delete their recorded conversation. Practical takeaways include: Simulation can help trainees stay regulated when intense material emerges Better training can reduce unnecessary diversion to emergency rooms Clear consent language and easy deletion workflows matter for trust Coaching can expand the continuum of psychedelic support beyond therapy

Artists have been sold a lie: that you can't create real work unless you're broken.Pain sells. Trauma gets streams. Heartbreak goes viral. So the industry rewards artists who only create when they're suffering, and punishes those who make art from healing, joy, or stability.But here's what nobody talks about: when artists only document pain without pairing it with resolution, they're not just expressing themselves. They're programming audiences to expect relationships to fail, success to be traumatic, and healing to be impossible.Art isn't neutral. It shapes how people see the world. And right now, most of what we're creating is making the world uglier, not more bearable.This episode is a call to artists: You have more power than you realize. Your work reflect reality and also constructs it. So what are you building?Topics covered:• Why the music industry conditions artists to create only from pain• How gangster rap was weaponized against Black communities• The difference between processing pain and weaponizing it• Why creating beauty is rebellion, not escapism• How to turn lived experience into masterpieces, not just contentThis isn't about toxic positivity or pretending pain doesn't exist. It's about refusing to let pain be the only thing worth creating from.Leave this world more beautiful than you found it.Full episode: So You're Living in a Simulation podcast.https://joliartist.com/portal

The “Constellation Platform” is revolutionizing the path to fault-tolerant quantum computing. Rather than relying on traditional state vector simulations that hit a wall at 50 qubits, this platform from Quantum Elements uses a breakthrough method, stochastic compression, to create realistic digital twins of quantum hardware at scale. This approach allows developers to simulate the complex time evolution of a system, including specific noise models such as crosstalk and decoherence, without the high cost of running thousands of shots on physical QPUs.   Host Konstantinos Karagiannis sits down with Izhar Medalsy, co-founder and CEO of Quantum Elements, to also explore the cutting-edge intersection of AI and quantum engineering, highlighting a “quantum copilot” in Constellation powered by Claude. This AI-native platform doesn't just help write context-specific code; it also acts as a virtual supervisor that can troubleshoot failed experiments by comparing real-world results with first-principles simulations. Whether you are a professional looking to optimize algorithms through advanced error suppression or a researcher seeking a hardware-agnostic layer to run code across different vendors, listen and learn how digital virtualization might play a key role. For more information on Quantum Elements, visit https://quantumelements.ai/.   Visit Protiviti at www.protiviti.com/US-en/technology-consulting/quantum-computing-services  to learn more about how Protiviti is helping organizations get post-quantum ready.  Follow host Konstantinos Karagiannis on all socials: @KonstantHacker and follow Protiviti Technology on LinkedIn and X: @ProtivitiTech.             Questions and comments are welcome!  Theme song by David Schwartz, copyright 2021.  The views expressed by the participants of this program are their own and do not represent the views of, nor are they endorsed by, Protiviti Inc., The Post-Quantum World, or their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, representatives, shareholders, or subsidiaries.  None of the content should be considered investment advice, as an offer or solicitation of an offer to buy or sell, or as an endorsement of any company, security, fund, or other securities or non-securities offering.

Peripheral intravenous catheter (PIVC) insertion is an essential skill for nurses. Students, however, face challenges in learning PIVC insertion due in part to limited opportunities for hands-on practice with real patients. Traditional training methods with low-fidelity task trainers lack variability and depend on costly consumable products. To address this gap, Dr. Jeremy Jarzembak and his team developed a bimanual haptic feedback mixed reality IV simulator. This technology simulates IV needle insertion under diverse conditions. Their article explains the development of this new technology and reports findings on students' improved confidence and success rate.

The  speaker details the launch of a deconstruction project on a Discord forum designed to systematically analyze media fakery and psychological operations. The author argues that modern history and current events are carefully manufactured scripts intended to control public perception and merge fake and real timelines. Using the movie Wicked as a case study, they interpret pop culture through a political lens, linking it to predictive programming and contemporary figures like Elon Musk and Donald Trump. The discussion extends to skepticism of scientific institutions, exploring theories about hidden lands and the possibility that society exists within a sophisticated mental cage. Ultimately, the creator aims to help followers separate the truth from the meta-script by identifying "hoax indicators" and pre-planned historical narratives

How do you bring discipline to innovation without stripping away the creativity that makes it powerful in the first place? In this episode of the Innovation Storytellers Show, I sit down with Stephen Parkins, Innovation Strategist and Founder of Culturedge, to unpack what it really takes to turn innovation into a strategic asset rather than a side project fueled by hope and enthusiasm.  Stephen brings an outside-in perspective shaped by an unconventional career spanning financial markets, startup entrepreneurship, and senior innovation roles within complex global organizations. That distance from the usual corporate playbook allows him to challenge some deeply held assumptions about how innovation should work and why so many well-intentioned efforts struggle to deliver measurable returns. We talk openly about the tension between creativity and structure, and why innovation does not fail because teams lack ideas, but because organizations lack clarity, consistent decision-making, and shared language. Stephen offers a thoughtful perspective on innovation management systems, including the much-debated ISO standards, and explains why guardrails are often misunderstood as constraints.  Drawing on real-world experience from large enterprises, he argues that structure, when well designed, creates the conditions for better experimentation, smarter risk-taking, and stronger alignment between innovators and the core business. The conversation also dives into strategy, funding, and culture, particularly the invisible friction between those running today's business and those inventing tomorrow's. Stephen shares how portfolio thinking, exposure to risk, and optionality can shift innovation from theater to real value creation.  We also explore his work as co-founder of Strategy Quest, a simulation-based approach that helps leaders practice decision-making under uncertainty, surface blind spots, and learn through consequence rather than theory. It is a compelling look at how scenario thinking and simulated environments can prepare the next generation of innovation leaders to see around corners. If innovation is meant to help organizations grow stronger in uncertain times, what needs to change in how leaders think about risk, culture, and decision-making, and are we brave enough to build systems that actually support that ambition?  

We've been taught that pain requires a target. Someone hurt you, so you hurt them back. Someone triggers you, so you defend yourself. The cycle repeats until you're chronically inflamed and physiologically worn down.But what if the problem is that you're treating your nervous system like it has to fight every battle you're invited to?Pain is information. Inflammation is a signal. That tightness in your chest when you get a certain kind of text message is your body reporting that something needs attention. Not retaliation. Attention.The culture trains you to look outward for resolution. Closure from the person who hurt you. Validation from the person who triggered you. Apologies, explanations, admissions of guilt. But none of that actually heals the physiological response you're having in real time. None of it stops the cortisol. None of it regulates your nervous system.Self regulation means recognizing that lashing out when you're in pain just adds another layer of damage. Knowing this, healing yourself first becomes structurally necessary.This episode covers why modern serial dating creates repeated chemical bereavement, how to redirect attack energy into healing energy, and why the “little you” inside deserves protection even when no one else is listening.Full episode: So You're Living in a Simulation podcast.

Sa video na 'to, tatalakayin natin ang controversial na nangyari sa Venezuela—mula sa maikling history ng relasyon nito sa United States, hanggang sa usapin ng oil, sanctions, drugs, at geopolitics. Bago natin panoorin ang AI-generated simulation video tungkol sa umano'y pag-capture kay Nicolas Maduro, magbibigay muna ako ng quick TL;DR kung paano nauwi sa ganitong sitwasyon ang Venezuela. Bakit ba naging interesado ang US? Oil lang ba talaga ang dahilan? O may mas malalim pang issue? Pagkatapos ng video, ibabahagi ko rin ang personal thoughts ko bilang isang Catholic Christian. Hindi lang ito tungkol sa international law, kundi kung morally defensible ba ang ginawa ng US gamit ang Just War doctrine (CCC 2309). Pag-uusapan natin: Ang role ng foreign oil companies sa Venezuela Bakit bumagsak ang oil production ng bansa US sanctions, drugs, at power projection China, Russia, Iran, at global politics At ang tanong: Pasok ba ito sa Just War doctrine? Hindi ito simpleng pro-US o anti-US take. Layunin ng video na mag-isip tayo nang mas malalim, lalo na bilang mga Kristiyano.

Nicky and Eric spill the tea (literally and figuratively) on the the drama behind the development of Dead Island 2. Dead Island 2 is a 2023 action role-playing game developed by Dambuster Studios and published by Deep Silver. It is a sequel to the 2011 video game Dead Island and the third major installment in the Dead Island series. Set about 15 years after the events of Dead Island and Dead Island: Riptide, Dead Island 2 takes place in a zombie-infested Los Angeles under quarantine. 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/Dead_Island_2 https://www.ign.com/articles/how-dead-island-2-was-brought-back-from-the-dead-ign-inside-storieshttps://www.watchmojo.com/articles/hidden-secrets-in-dead-island-2https://glassalmanac.com/dead-island-3-set-for-2028-release-studio-shifts-focus-to-highly-anticipated-sequel/

What if reality doesn't fully exist unless you're paying attention to it? In this episode of The Box of Oddities, Kat and Jethro tumble headfirst into some of the strangest intersections of consciousness, physics, philosophy, and fatal laughter. We explore the unsettling ideas of nuclear physicist Thomas Campbell, whose “My Big TOE (Theory of Everything)” proposes that reality itself may function more like a simulation—rendered only when observed, driven not by matter, but by consciousness itself. Is the universe a data stream? Are we avatars logged into a system designed to test our choices? And if so… who's running the server? From the science-backed work at the Monroe Institute to concepts like entropy, intent, and consciousness as the fundamental building block of existence, this episode breaks down Campbell's mind-bending claims in clear, conversational terms—without robes, chanting, or cosmic fluff. Then, just when things couldn't get stranger, we pivot to a surprisingly lethal topic: can laughter actually kill you? From ancient Stoic philosopher Chrysippus allegedly laughing himself to death over a fig-eating donkey, to documented modern cases involving heart conditions triggered by uncontrollable laughter, we trace the real medical risks behind “dying laughing.” Along the way, we examine historical reports, modern diagnoses like Long QT syndrome, and why comedy may be safer in moderation (or at least while seated). Plus, we serve up a classic Thing in the Middle featuring some of the world's most delightfully pointless “capitals,” including hubcaps, snowshoe baseball, lost luggage, jump rope, and barbed wire. It's an episode that asks big questions, delivers strange truths, and reminds us that no matter how serious philosophy gets, sometimes a donkey can still take you out.

This week on Hysteria 51, we're boarding a flight straight into chaos—because one United Airlines flight reportedly had to divert after a passenger disrupted the crew, turning “in-flight service” into “in-flight survival mode.” If you've ever wondered how quickly a routine trip can become an unexpected emergency landing plot twist, buckle up and keep your hands, feet, and sense of reality inside the cabin at all times, even if you swear this is "A Simulation!"Then we hop over to Thailand for a story that's basically a modern fable: a fortune teller, a stolen phone, and the kind of irony that makes you stare directly into the camera like you're on The Office. When your job is seeing the future… but you don't see that coming? That's premium weird news.It's bizarre headlines, travel nightmares, and criminally funny timing—the perfect episode for fans of strange-but-true stories, oddball crime, and “how is this real life?” energy.Links & Resources

This week, we're joined by world-famous mentalist Oz Pearlman, and things immediately go off the rails. Oz reads minds in real time, exposes how easily Josh and Ben give away their thoughts, and pulls off tricks that make absolutely zero sense - even after he explains them. We get into Oz's viral moments with Joe Rogan and Howard Stern, the truth about whether magic is actually real, and why mind reading works even when you don't believe in it. Plus: ultra-marathons, three kids, magician beef, and one final mentalist stunt that leaves the room fully broken. Stick around - this episode will make you question reality… and your own intelligence. What, are ya nuts? Love ya! Leave us a voicemail here!Follow us on Instagram and TikTok!
