Rod's message here is a passionate, intense call to confront the forces that are spiritually and emotionally draining people, especially the Body of Christ. Charlie Kirk's assassination  symbolizes a real attack on influential figures of the faith movement, on freedom of thought and Speech. The war of light vs darkness is a timeless theme, representing the ongoing struggle between forces of good (light) and evil (darkness).NEW SONG AT THE END - CYCLESRods new music seems to be more than just an artistic expression—it sounds like it's intended as a bold, cathartic declaration to break the silence on trauma, emotional cycles, and societal manipulation. The idea of trauma loops and dark emotional cycles touches on how people get stuck in unhealthy patterns—whether through personal suffering, societal systems, or even the media—which often keep individuals or communities in a state of vulnerability, confusion, and suffering.In a broader sense, his music and message feel like a poetic rally cry to confront these systemic problems head-on.

     7/8. Professor Eric Cline's books detail the Hittite Empire's collapse as a societal failure due to poor leadership, a devastating plague (killing the royal family, including Suppiluliuma I), and attacks from enemies like the Kashka. Unlike other major powers, the Hittites were the only "G8" not on a major river system, a factor in their vulnerability during periods of drought. While the main empire vanished, "Neo-Hittite" city-states in northern Syria, such as Carchemish, adapted and survived, often paying tribute to the Neo-Assyrians.

Host Sebastian Hassinger interviews Alexandre Blais, professor of physics at the Universite de Sherbrooke and scientific director of the Insitut Quantique. Alexandre discusses his academic journey, starting from his master's and PhD work in Sherbrooke, his move to Yale, and his collaborations with both theorists and experimentalists. He outlines the development of circuit QED (quantum electrodynamics) and its foundational role in the modern superconducting qubit landscape. Blais emphasizes the interplay between fundamental physics and technological progress in quantum computing, highlighting both academic contributions and partnerships with industry. He also describes the evolution and mission of Institut Quantique, stressing its role in bridging academia and the quantum industry by training talent and fostering startups in Sherbrooke, Quebec. Finally, Blais reflects on the dual promise of quantum computing—as a tool for scientific discovery and as a long-term commercial technology.Key Themes and Points1. Early Career and Path into Quantum ComputingAlexandre Blais began his quantum computing journey during his master's at Sherbrooke, inspired by a popular science article by Serge Haroche that laid out the argument for why quantum computers would never work.He pursued quantum studies at Sherbrooke despite a lack of local experts, showing early initiative and risk-taking.2. Transition to Yale and Circuit QEDBlais joined Yale for his postdoc, attracted by the strong theory–experiment collaboration.The Yale group pioneered "circuit QED," adapting ideas from cavity QED (single atoms in magnetic cavities) to superconducting circuits, enabling new ways to read out and control qubits.Circuit QED became the backbone of superconducting qubit technology, notably enabling the transmon qubit (now a dominant architecture).Collaborated with figures like prior guests of the podcast Steve Girvin and Rob Schoelkopf, and was a postdoc along with Jay Gambetta and Andreas Wallraff.3. Superconducting Qubits and Research FocusMost of Blais's work has centered on superconducting qubits, particularly on understanding and extending coherence times, reducing errors, and improving fabrication/design.Emphasizes the complex, nonlinear, and rich physics even of single-qubit systems (e.g., challenges of dispersive readout and unexpected phenomena like multiphoton resonances).Notes the continuing importance of deep, fundamental research despite growing industrial and engineering focus.4. Role of Academia vs. IndustryGrowth of corporate investment (Google, IBM, Amazon, Intel) has changed the landscape.Blais argues that universities should focus on pushing the scientific frontier and training talent, not on building commercial-scale quantum computers.Academic groups can pursue high-risk, high-reward research and deeper understanding of quantum technology's physical underpinnings.5. Institut Quantique and Quebec's Quantum EcosystemBlais leads Institut Quantique, which supports both basic and applied quantum research and has been highly successful in fostering a local quantum startup ecosystem (e.g., SBQuantum, NordQuantique, Qubic).Offers entrepreneurship courses and significant seed grants (even to students and postdocs) to encourage talent retention and company creation in Sherbrooke.Partnership between academia, startups, and public investment has attracted international players like Pasqal and IBM, establishing Sherbrooke as a quantum technology hub.6. Societal and Philosophical ReflectionsFundamental challenge: making increasingly large quantum systems remain quantum despite Bohr's assertion, via the Correspondence principle, that as a quantum system scales it will become classical.Quantum computers are not only future commercial tools—they are already invaluable scientific instruments, enabling new physics via experimental control of complex quantum systems.Blais is optimistic about quantum computing's potential for both discovery and eventual large-scale applications.Main TakeawaysBuilding quantum computers is both a technological and fundamental scientific challenge. Even with commercial interest, deep physical understanding is essential—academic research remains vital.Close collaboration between theorists and experimentalists breeds breakthrough advances. Circuit QED exemplifies this synergy.Quantum research institutes can seed thriving tech ecosystems, if they focus on both talent training and supporting spinouts, as shown by Institut Quantique in Sherbrooke.Quantum computing's greatest early impacts will likely be as scientific instruments, enabling novel experiments and discoveries, before large-scale commercial utility is achieved.Quantum hardware's development continually reveals new, subtle physics; e.g., the decades-long puzzle of dispersive readout reflects the complexity inherent in scaling up quantum technology.Notable Quotes “Quantum computers will, before being commercially useful, be fantastic tools for discoveries.” “What we're trying to do is go against that very fundamental principle—we're trying to build a bigger and bigger system that behaves ever more quantum.” “There is real power in mixing theory and experiment when tackling the challenges of quantum technology.”Listeners will enjoy a blend of scientific storytelling, personal insight, and a blueprint for building world-class quantum research hubs that advance both discovery and innovation.

SummaryIn this episode, Rita Saikali explores the Gospel of St. Matthew, focusing on the themes of hypocrisy, self-reflection, and the importance of inner transformation. Through the lens of St. John Chrysostom's commentary, she emphasizes the need for accountability in our actions and thoughts, urging listeners to seek virtue over materialism. The conversation also addresses societal roles, the consequences of sin, and the call to live a life of purity and love, ultimately highlighting God's mercy and the transformative power of faith.Take Aways The Gospel of St. Matthew emphasizes the importance of inner purity over outward appearances.Hypocrisy can be deeply rooted in our behavior, requiring regular self-examination.True growth in faith involves recognizing and addressing our own sins and shortcomings.The call to love and mercy should guide our actions, not mere legalistic adherence to rules.Societal issues today reflect the same hypocrisy seen in the past, urging us to act justly.Women and men both play crucial roles in shaping societal values and behaviors.Spiritual adultery occurs when we prioritize worldly desires over our relationship with God.The pursuit of virtue should take precedence over material wealth and superficial beauty.God's mercy allows for transformation and healing from our sins.We must be vigilant in our actions and thoughts, as they reflect our true selves.Chapters00:00 Introduction to the Gospel of St. Matthew01:28 Understanding Hypocrisy in Faith03:57 The Call for Self-Examination10:30 The Importance of Inner Purity12:56 The Consequences of Spiritual Neglect18:10 The Role of Sin in Our Lives22:27 The Need for Repentance and Change25:25 The Impact of Lust and Temptation32:28 The Value of Virtue Over Wealth36:08 The Prophecy of Christ's Death

There is a growing segment of our American society, this so-called new woke aspect, which seeks to redefine the meaning/definition of a man, a real man, a Biblical man.The definition of a man, by both Biblical and Societal definitions, was clear, not subject to debate or change. That man, created by the Great G-d Jehovah, the Great I Am, was created in His image and was to be like Him, ordained by God to be the ruler of the planet and to be head of all things. That man was biologically determined, and both sex and gender unchangeable. But, a man today, accordingly to the radical woke element of our society, can both decide and determine his sex/gender, and should he choose a different gender identity, he can do so, no matter any Biblical or biological determination.And, that changing definition is today a work-in-progress. A man today can now be gay, that is homosexual, bi-sexual, transgender, queer (LGBTQ), or some different alternative with which the individual may identify.It is really a tragedy what is happening to God's first man, His creation. This new definition of man makes him not like HIM the Great Creator, but made in mans image and definition.But, let us review what the Bible says about a real man. He is called upon to be strong, not only in body, physically, but in mind, will, spirit, and soul. The real man is possessive of a God-made body, which is, as described by the Bible:THE TEMPLE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT.That physical body of a real man should be honored, respected, cared for, and kept in the best physical shape possible by that man, never forgetting that it is the housing of the spirit, The Holy Spirit of the Great Divine Triumvirate.That real man, like our Lord Jesus Christ, may enjoy the fruit of the grape, the wine which Jesus himself drank, if he so chooses, but should never, ever, be drunken. Drinking wine or alcohol to excess is the ruination of the temple of The Holy Spirit. No real man can function mentally or spiritually under the influence of drugs or alcohol. None.The real Biblical man respects his body and his sexuality, and will not be given to adultery, fornication, lascivious living, and always respects, protects, and honors marital intimacy. He is a man with strong fidelity and ultimate respect for:ONE WOMAN. ONE WIFE.The real man constantly strives to learn, educate himself, and in all things, asks for the wisdom for his life and decision making, which only God can give. The request for God given wisdom is constant, continuous, and totally sincere in all things, everything. God honors the sincere request of any real man for HIS wisdom.That real man is strong spiritually. Learn-ed in the Bible, and always learning. studying, sharing, witnessing, and teaching, always growing in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. That is the only way that man can be a real father and train up his children in the way they should go, the way of the Lord.That real Biblical man is a protector of the Christian faith, and to that extent, politically active. He renders unto Caesar the things which rightly belong to Caesar, but demands morality, truth, respect, and honesty in all things political. The real man is a watch dog, a watchman on the wall, making certain that Caesar functions in the way that Caesar should, so that the things of God Almighty are never interfered with.The real man discharges his duties as HEAD OF HOUSEHOLD. That ethical principle has become more unpopular today. Far too many men abandon their responsibilities and any substitute for a real father is never enough, inadequate, and most importantly, not Biblical.If the real man is privileged to have a real family, then that man, husband, father, friend, and teacher spends time, quality time, consistent regular and respectful time, with every member of that household lovingly together as one family unit but also, lovingly and respectfully individually with each member. Only by implementing both, together and individual, can the individuals of that family thrive and grow.The real man is truthful. That Biblical man does not lie. He is known for telling the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, transparency in all things. Any in the family, even the youngest, can sense hypocrisy, and can even more easily ascertain the lie of any kind. Nothing sabotages the credibility and integrity of a man/father than the lie, nothing.The Biblical man/father never fails to discipline when necessary. That discipline is not physical, but lovingly confrontational. That real man, and the real woman of the household, must be living examples of any rules and regulations which are established for the operation of the family and the household.The real man, and of course the real woman, must spend quiet time, time and prayer, meditation, and thoughtful evaluation and in the study of Scripture. And so much to every family member.The Bible, Old and New Testaments, has so much more to say about a man, a real man. It is difficult, if not impossible, to be a real man without that Biblical knowledge, definition, and encouragement of what a real man is. Today, the challenges of this world make it far too easy to compromise, surrender, and succumb to the definitions, pleasures, and lusts of the modern society. It is our prayer, our revival prayer, that the Biblical man, the man God and our Lord Jesus Christ intended, reemerge, become the shining light for society and for any family, and once again, both do and become the man/person which God intended. That man is always humble before the Lord, ready to admit wrong, apologize, to shed a tear, and to show love and respect to everyone. If a man, a Biblical man, lives and loves like the Bible intended, there is nothing in life any better, no greater force than that of a:REAL BIOLOGICAL AND BIBLICAL MAN.

There is a chilling pattern of how governments have systematically dehumanized, displaced, and exterminated entire groups of people throughout history using bureaucratic steps.Drawing from real atrocities such as the Holocaust, the Khmer Rouge regime, the Rwandan genocide, and the Armenian genocide, as well as injustices in U.S. history like the internment of Japanese Americans and the treatment of Native and African Americans, I trace a common structure of how oppression builds: with labels, propaganda, silence, and “legal” processes. Societal fear and political power can normalize cruelty. So here's your reminder of the responsibility to notice, speak out, and act before it's too late. Recognize familiar patterns and refuse to let history repeat itself.Get in touch on HorrorStory.com

Is The Diddy Verdict A Societal Rejection Of The 'MeToo' Era Description: The verdict in the Diddy trial did more than divide legal analysts—it reignited a cultural debate we thought had already been settled: Are we still in the #MeToo era, or are we witnessing its slow rejection in real time? In this provocative and timely episode, attorney Eric Faddis joins us to ask whether the jury's refusal to convict Diddy on sex trafficking and racketeering charges reflects something far larger than one trial. Was this a quiet rebuke of #MeToo itself? We dig into how jurors today process trauma testimony, particularly in high-profile cases involving powerful men. Did they not believe the victims—or did they simply believe the behavior, while wrong, wasn't “criminal enough”? And if so, what does that say about where the public conscience currently sits? Eric brings his dual perspective as both a former prosecutor and defense attorney to tackle key questions: Have jurors developed fatigue toward celebrity abuse cases? Was the bar set during #MeToo too high for a jury now looking for “perfect victims”? How does the absence of physical captivity or force change jurors' perception of abuse? We also explore whether prosecutors leaned too heavily on cultural cues—assuming jurors would “feel the moment” without hammering home the legal definitions needed for conviction. Eric explains the difference between moral outrage and legal proof, and how one doesn't always translate to the other in court. Ultimately, this episode asks whether this verdict was less about Diddy—and more about us. If we don't recognize psychological coercion and exploitation as crimes anymore, what kind of accountability is left? #MeTooVerdict #DiddyTrial #EricFaddis #CulturalBacklash #JusticeFatigue #CelebrityTrials #TrueCrimeCulture #PowerAndAccountability #SexTraffickingTrial #HiddenKillers    Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
