There are MANY things science can't explain, but yet they pretend to understand- (with theories and computer models.)Yet we can explain (and USE!) some elements covered on this episode such as:-stereoscopic vision-predictive capabilities-applied filtering mechanics (reticular activating system)-intentional focus (without intention we choose base survival needs)We can explain these things loosely I must add. But... this is some seriously awesome info. Consciousness coming from the brain or somewhere else is the overall biggest question. Is it actually a receiver? Like an antenna grabbing a signal, much the same as cell phones. Only one number reaches YOU.

What started as a typical summer day soon spiraled into something much darker after a group of students held a seance to contact a recently deceased classmate. The aftermath? Unexplainable occurrences, eerie whispers in the dead of night, and mysterious red eyes captured in a photograph. As the school year progressed, the paranormal activity escalated, with missing items, unsettling sounds, and a haunting presence that seemed to follow the listener everywhere. Was it all just coincidence, or was something truly supernatural at play? If you have a real ghost story or supernatural event to report, please write into our show or call 1-855-853-4802!

1. What are some recent major cryptocurrency hacks, and how were they carried out?High-profile crypto breaches include Bybit (~$1.5B), Ronin Network ($625M), and Poly Network ($611M). Attackers exploited vulnerabilities via social engineering (notably in the Bybit case), smart contract flaws, phishing, and targeted blockchain bridges. State-backed groups are increasingly active in this space.2. How is malware evolving to bypass traditional antivirus tools, and what languages are favored by attackers?Cybercriminals are turning to languages like Rust and Go to create or recompile malware, exploiting blind spots in antivirus tools that rely on static signature detection. These languages also offer cross-platform capabilities and security features that can be weaponized.3. What happened to computer scientist Xiaofeng Wang, and why is it significant?The FBI raided Wang's home—he's a well-known Indiana University expert in cryptography and privacy. Since the raid, he's gone missing, with his online presence scrubbed. The secrecy surrounding his disappearance, combined with his sensitive field of work and Chinese background, raises serious questions.4. Why is AI firm Anthropic sweeping its offices for hidden devices?To combat rising concerns about espionage and IP theft, Anthropic is conducting physical security sweeps. This move reflects heightened tensions in the competitive AI landscape and the growing risk of surveillance and corporate spying in the industry.5. What API security change is Cloudflare making, and why does it matter?Cloudflare is enforcing HTTPS-only access for its API domain by shutting down HTTP ports entirely. This ensures encrypted communication, protecting API tokens and user data, and sets a strong precedent for better internet-wide encryption standards.6. How did Madison Square Garden use surveillance tech to ban a fan, and what does it imply?MSG banned a fan for life after facial recognition identified him as the creator of a CEO-critical T-shirt. This incident underscores the growing use of surveillance in private venues and its implications for free expression and long-term personal tracking.7. What data exposure was found in several dating apps?Researchers found ~1.5M unprotected, sensitive photos—some explicit—exposed by five dating apps from M.A.D Mobile. Images included private messages and content believed to be deleted. This highlights the dangers of poor data hygiene and storage practices.8. What security failure occurred at the UK's GCHQ involving an intern?A GCHQ intern copied top-secret data from a secure system to his personal phone, then transferred it to a home hard drive. This breach reveals critical weaknesses in internal controls, particularly around device security and data exfiltration prevent
EP 236 For the Biggest Crypto Hacks it turns out “HODL” doesn't protect you from miscreants with social engineering degrees.Hackers are now coding in Rust and Go, because multilingual malware is harder to catch.An esteemed University Computer Scientist simply disappears. (See if you can pick up on the clues.)Anthropic expands into AI workplace cleaning, but before you get too excited, they're only sweeping offices for now.Cloudflare slams the door making one well known transfer protocol vanish.Then, design one anti-CEO shirt and "boom" a lifetime ban from Madison Square Garden.Millions of spicy selfies spilled online, and now your privates may be public.And we finish with the burning question of who blew up national security... the intern or GCHQ?Let's go find some explanations.Find the full transcript to this podcast here.

Misery truly does love company, but in this case, it's a dark, sinister force that seems to cling to a young boy and his troubled household. Raised in an abusive environment, the boy grows up surrounded by pain, anger, and fear—but as he gets older, he begins to notice something far more terrifying than just family dysfunction. Unexplainable things start happening around the house—objects moving on their own, strange whispers in the dark, and a palpable sense of something dark and malicious watching over him. Could these paranormal forces be the true source of the abuse, feeding off the family's misery? And as this young man becomes more aware of the darkness, could something even darker be coming for his soul?

Shortly after Donald J. Trump was sworn in as the 47th American president, he issued 37 executive orders and, subsequently, the Trump administration has – through formal processes and also through extra-governmental extraordinary practices – triggered what many are calling a governmental and/or constitutional crisis. Dr. Christina Pagel has published two important Substack articles in which she groups the activities of the Trump administration into authoritarian and proto-authoritarian actions – and maps the opposition. Her unbelievable Venn diagram reveals which actions are being met with organized resistance – and which are being left unchallenged. She is a data hound – and her data not only clarifies what is happening in the United States but provides tools for those who wish to effectively oppose it in the U.S. and abroad. Dr. Christina Pagel is Professor of Operational Research in Health Care, University College London. Operational Research is a pragmatic branch of mathematics to help people solve real-life problems. She is a member of Independent SAGE providing accessible updates on the national and international Covid-19 situation since May 2020. She has published in public-facing venues such as The Conversation and her free Substack, Diving into Data & Decision making. You can follow her on social media. Mentioned in the podcast: Christina's 2/13/25 Substack, "So this is how liberty dies… " Making sense of Trump's first three weeks (categorizing 76 Trump administration actions and demonstrating how they align with authoritarianism). Christina's 2/17/25 Substack, How to fight back: charting opposition to the actions of the Trump administration (showing how Blue states, labor organizations, and civil rights groups are doing the most – and what can be learned from them).

Hey, it's Amy Newmark with your Chicken Soup for the Soul, and today I'm going to share a couple of stories with you from our newest book, Chicken Soup for the Soul: All You Need Is Love.
