DEEP DIVE - On this episode we revisit one of the most revered and wildly enigmatic minds in human history; a pioneering engineer, prolific inventor, bonafide genius and all-round kooky eccentric, whose astonishing ideas, theories and inventions were often so far ahead of their time, they couldn't be realised for another century. Nikola Tesla helped build the modern electronic world, and pretty awesomely became known as the legendary 'Master of Lightning' and yet still, somehow managed to succumb to the typical fate of such an extraordinary personality; to die penniless and alone... despite spending years living in a luxury New York hotel suite and carrying on what can only be described as, a serious long-term relationship with a pigeon. Tale as old as time itself! From Tesla's infamous feud with the nefarious Thomas Edison and the AC/DC War of the Currents to harnessing the mysterious and awesome power of the earth itself to generate global free wireless electricity with his Wardenclyffe Tower; top secret and highly advanced government work at Colorado Springs, getting into a billionaires tiff with J.P. Morgan; missing government files including an Earthquake Machine, a Death Ray and even a device that bends the fabric of space and creates time travelling wormholes, as we explored in our episode on The Philadelphia Experiment. We separate the documented history from the astounding legend and ask whether Nikola Tesla was simply a misunderstood genius... or something greater still; a man whose talent, vision and imagination reached so far into the future that the rest of the world has spent the last hundred years trying to catch up.

Ask us a Question or just let us know what you think!The remarkable story of how a stick of Wrigley's chewing gum rescued a priceless piece of cinema history unfolds in this fascinating exploration of Edison, innovation, and overlooked genius. When historian Jack Stanley joins us to discuss a historic photograph from Edison's laboratory, what emerges is an incredible tale of rediscovery and ingenuity spanning over a century. Recorded July 2025.While Thomas Edison gets credit for inventing motion pictures, the real pioneer was his employee William Kennedy Laurie Dixon. As Stanley reveals, Edison's true genius was "being brilliant enough to realize he wasn't brilliant" – surrounding himself with specialized talent like Dixon who developed film sprockets, created the first film studio (the "Black Maria"), and ultimately produced the first synchronized sound film in 1894, showing men dancing while Dixon played violin.The story takes an extraordinary turn when Stanley shares his firsthand account of being present in 1995 when the original sound cylinder for this historic film was discovered in the Edison archives. Broken in three pieces and sitting forgotten in a cigar box for decades, the cylinder seemed unplayable – until sound engineer Peter Dilge had a flash of inspiration while chewing gum after a dental appointment. Using ordinary Wrigley's gum to temporarily hold the cylinder fragments together, they successfully recovered the audio, reuniting sound and image for the first time since the 1890s.This little-known historical treasure isn't just fascinating trivia – it represents a pivotal moment in media technology that predated "The Jazz Singer" by 33 years.

Freak Family Favorites: Bat People, Moon Hoaxes, and Museums That Shouldn't Exist This Freak Family Favorites episode comes straight from the recommendations of the Freak Family, and it's packed with the kind of stories that remind us why history is often stranger than fiction. First, Kat unpacks one of the greatest media hoaxes ever printed: The Great Moon Hoax of 1835. Newspapers convinced thousands of readers that a giant telescope had discovered life on the Moon—including winged bat people, intelligent beavers that built villages, strange temples, and an entire lunar civilization. It spread across America and Europe before anyone stopped to ask whether any of it was actually true. Then Jethro takes a tour through some of the world's most bizarre museum exhibits. From Galileo's preserved middle finger and Thomas Edison's supposed last breath to necropants, human-skin books, serial killer relics, and anatomical displays that blur the line between science and the macabre, these are museums unlike any you've ever visited. If you've ever wondered how easily people can be fooled—or why museums sometimes keep the strangest souvenirs imaginable—this Freak Family favorite belongs at the top of your playlist. In this episode: The Great Moon Hoax of 1835 Bat people, lunar beavers, and the newspaper story that fooled the world Sir John Herschel's unwitting role in history's most famous astronomy hoax Edgar Allan Poe's unexpected connection to the scandal The world's strangest museum exhibits Galileo's middle finger, Thomas Edison's last breath, necropants, human-skin books, and more Weird history, oddities, curiosities, and unbelievable true stories Perfect for fans of: Weird history, historical hoaxes, Edgar Allan Poe, astronomy, museums, macabre history, curiosities, folklore, and the strange true stories that make the world wonderfully weird.

Arthur Herman recounts the historic 1896 meeting where Henry Ford pitched his internal combustion engine to a skeptical Thomas Edison. Edison's encouragement served as the catalyst for Ford's revolution in American transportation. This industrial transformation was further enabled by John D. Rockefeller, whose ability to lower oil prices made gasoline an economically feasible fuel for mass production. The segment also highlights George Washington's vision for a professional Continental Army. (9)1910
C Constable reports from France on the high heat and smoke impact near Bordeaux. The discussion shifts to surging energy prices, with Brent crude rising 26% and European gas up 36%. Despite high energy costs, rising copper prices suggest potential industrial growth. (1)Simon Constable and Jim McTague continue with a quiz highlighting that typical data centers use 300,000 gallons of water daily, while larger ones can reach 5 million gallons. Currently, most centers are urban, but 67% of planned facilities are rural. In Lancaster County, a "tale of two data centers" emerges as one town embraces the revenue stream while another resists it due to misinformation and fear. (2)Cliff May argues for maximum pressure and coercive diplomacy to prevent the Islamic Republic of Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons. He advocates for a naval blockade, specifically targeting oil exports from Kharg Island to strangle the regime's revenue. May emphasizes that the Iranian leadership's ideology makes them likely to use nuclear weapons, necessitating a strategy to cripple the regime's power. (3)John Hardie and Bill Roggio cover the significant leadership change in Ukraine as General Drapatyi replaces General Syrskyi as commander-in-chief. Drapatyi is seen as a representative of a new, western-style generation of officers who embrace technological innovation and listen to subordinates. The transition aims to "desovietize" the military and maintain the momentum of successful drone offensives against Russian infrastructure. (4)Anatol Lieven examines how the Ukraine and Iran conflicts are merging into one global struggle following a Ukrainiandrone strike on an Iranian vessel. This escalation threatens global energy supplies of refined oil products, as Russianrefineries struggle with capacity. While Ukraine targets the Russian middle class to undermine support for the war, Lieven warns of a widening proxy war involving China, North Korea, and Iran. (5)Anatol Lieven turns to Britain's new political era under Prime Minister Andy Burnham, who is described as the Labour Party's "last chance" to address a discredited government. Burnham faces immense financial pressure, particularly regarding the costs of healthcare for the elderly and dementia. To succeed, he may need to pivot from "Net Zero" policies to prioritize energy needs and seek a new mandate through an election. (6)Salvatore Vitale and Kalin Plunkett of MIT explain hierarchical merging, a process where black holes merge repeatedly to create larger "monsters." By analyzing gravitational waves from 155 binary pairs, they discovered that 14% are second-generation black holes, born from previous mergers rather than stellar collapse. These second-generation black holes are characterized by rapid spin and mass asymmetry, providing clues to how supermassive black holes form in galaxies. (7)Salvatore Vitale and Kalin Plunkett continue: to uncover the origins of the Milky Way's supermassive black hole, scientists propose building larger gravitational wave detectors scaled up by a factor of ten. These advanced observatories would allow researchers to peer further back into cosmic history, potentially detecting black holes from the very early universe. Expanding the global network to four or five detectors would help pinpoint host galaxies and detect the formation of heavy elements. (8)Arthur Herman recounts the historic 1896 meeting where Henry Ford pitched his internal combustion engine to a skeptical Thomas Edison. Edison's encouragement served as the catalyst for Ford's revolution in American transportation. This industrial transformation was further enabled by John D. Rockefeller, whose ability to lower oil prices made gasoline an economically feasible fuel for mass production. The segment also highlights George Washington's vision for a professional Continental Army. (9)Arthur Herman explains the American founders were heavily influenced by the Scottish Enlightenment, particularly the ideas of David Hume and Adam Smith regarding the pursuit of happiness. This subjective right was prioritized over property to potentially allow for the future abolition of slavery. The founding spirit extended to the Northwest Ordinance, creating communities like Marietta, Ohio, that were dedicated to education, religion, and freedom. (10)Arthur Herman characterizes Abraham Lincoln as a founder for his vision of an America without slavery and his willingness to risk the Union to fulfill the Declaration of Independence. His administration's legacy includes the Homestead Act and the Transcontinental Railroad, which expanded the "empire of liberty." Additionally, the Civil War era facilitated the rise of Andrew Carnegie, who later revolutionized the global steel industry using the Bessemerprocess. (11)Arthur Herman reframes the Gilded Age not as an era of greed, but as a period of unprecedented opportunity and connectivity driven by the railroad. James J. Hill's Great Northern Railway fostered regional prosperity and negotiated fairly with Native American tribes. Meanwhile, Thomas Edison's relentless competitiveness and "restless mind" led to the electrification of the nation and the invention of the phonograph, inspiring future generations of founders like Elon Musk. (12)Arthur Herman contrasts Woodrow Wilson's attempt to centrally manage industry during World War I, which resulted in logistical chaos and failure, with FDR's embrace of the private sector for World War II, appointing GM's Bill Knudsento lead mobilization. By relying on the incentives of the marketplace, Knudsen successfully converted American manufacturing into a massive war machine, producing more war material than the world imagined in just 18 months. (13)Arthur Herman presents Martin Luther King Jr. as a founder who refounded the American experiment by taking risks to fulfill the promise of equality. The segment explores the eternal conflict between the bold "founder mindset" and the cautious "manager instinct" that emerged in the 1950s. While managers seek stability and predictability, founders drive innovation and national greatness, preventing the American dream from becoming stagnant and stale. (14)Arthur Herman credits Vannevar Bush's "The Endless Frontier" manifesto with persuading FDR to fund basic scientific research through universities, laying the groundwork for Silicon Valley. This federal support enabled discoveries in information theory and microchip development, transforming the American economy. The evolution from massive mainframes like the IBM 360 to modern microchips illustrates the imaginative leap of founders who see opportunities where others see only current technology. (15)Arthur Herman concludes that today's founders, including Elon Musk and Donald Trump, continue the tradition of taking massive risks to fulfill bold visions. Musk's goals for SpaceX and Mars are described as a step-by-step process of industrial manufacturing and innovation. Central to this enduring success is the Patent Act of 1790, a unique constitutional protection that ensures individuals own the products of their minds, fueling 250 years of American discovery. (16)Corrections applied per the log: John Hardie (transcribed as "Hardy," segment 4) and Labour Party (UK spelling, segment 6). I also dropped the phonetic "(Chopati)" after General Drapatyi in segment 4 — that's Mykhailo Drapatyi, so the first spelling stands. One to confirm for the log: Kalin Plunkett (segments 7–8) — I couldn't verify this MIT researcher's spelling; if it's from audio, it may need checking against the MIT LIGO group roster.

Every invention in this series—the phone, the internet, the smartphone—depends on one foundational breakthrough. Newt unpacks the electrical power system's tangled origin story: Thomas Edison's Pearl Street Station, Nikola Tesla's alternating current, and George Westinghouse's bet that AC was the future. Their rivalry erupted into the "War of Currents," settled dramatically at the 1893 Chicago World's Fair. From there, electrification swept rural America, transforming domestic labor and daily life. It's the story of how competition and infrastructure investment built the invisible foundation on which the entire modern world now runs.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Episode 2833 - Vinnie Tortorich and Chris Shaffer discuss success from resilience, healthy aging, food addiction, and social media influencers' advice. https://vinnietortorich.com/2026/07/success-from-resilience-episode-2833 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club NSNG® Foods VILLA CAPPELLI EAT HAPPY KITCHEN YOU CAN WATCH THIS EPISODE ON YOUTUBE - @FitnessConfidential Podcast Vinnie's workout videos are available to purchase!

TO PURCHASE VINNIE'S WORKOUT VIDEOS, CLICK THIS LINK: https://vinnietortorich.com/workout Success from Resilience Vinnie argues that people who achieve big things keep going through pain, setbacks, and repeated failure. (4:00) He uses examples like Elon Musk, Thomas Edison, Alexander Graham Bell, Tom Brady, Michael Jordan, and Lou Gehrig to illustrate that success usually follows repeated misses. Success is measured by failure tolerance, or, as Vinnie likes to call it, FQ (Failure Quotient). Resilience is important in life, and the only way to build it is through challenges. Accountability and consistency matter more than motivation alone, especially with weight loss and addiction. He says food addiction is real and that tools like GLP-1s are not a cure-all. Vinnie has a 45th high school reunion coming up. (33:00) He recounts the previous reunion he went to several years ago. The reunion story becomes a reflection on time, aging, lost classmates, and the shock of seeing how much people change. He became motivated to train harder and stay in shape for longevity and health. Is social media fitness advice targeted at women, myth or truth? (41:00) They review four specific claims regarding eating, fasting, and working out. Vinnie's advice: eat real food, train, hydrate, and don't get distracted by fitness influencer contradictions. Supply, cost, and food politics often make healthy eating harder due to economics and policy.

Lincoln Stoller is a psychotherapist, physicist, and author of books including The Learning Project, Becoming Lucid, and Operating Manual for Enlightenment.In this episode, we discuss living with honesty, courage, and commitment, and why meaningful growth often means moving beyond conformity and reward-driven paths. Lincoln shares perspectives on taking action without guarantees, embracing exploration for its own sake, and giving yourself space to get lost while remaining calm. We explore creativity, lucid awareness in dreams and daily life, doing things you're not good at, finding mentors, breaking the rules, exploring beyond the traditional boundaries of education and career, and not focusing on profit or reward. The conversation centers on expanding awareness, stepping out of limiting boxes and choosing a path guided by curiosity, authenticity, and adventure.Connect and Learn MoreWebsite: mindstrengthbalance.comBooks: The Learning Project | Becoming Lucid | The Path to Sleep, Exercises for an Ancient Skill | Operating Manual for Enlightenment | COVID-19 | Sensations Thoughts and Emotions Podcast: Stream of SubconsciousnessFacebook: @lincolnstollerLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/lincolnstollerResourcesBooks: Fight Club by Chuck Palahniuk, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas AdamsTV Series: Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective AgencyPeople: Albert Einstein, Douglas Adams, Franz Kafka, Isaac Newton, Joey Krebs, John Cage, Louis Pasteur, Martin Luther King Jr., Stephen Hawking, Sydney Coleman, Theodore Maiman, Thomas Edison, Vincent van Gogh

In the automotive industry, we often focus on the vehicle itself, the technology within it, the smart factories, and artificial intelligence. Ford is leading the way in all these areas, even reimagining the assembly line that Henry Ford created back in 1913. However, that is not the whole story. The hardware has never been the main focus.The real story lies in the culture; it's about how more than 100,000 individuals think, act, and make decisions, and whether they can adapt faster than the legacy companies that were built to move at a different pace.In this episode of the Automotive Leaders Podcast, Jan Griffiths interviews Bryce Currie, Ford's Chief Manufacturing Officer, who oversees more than 40 plants worldwide. Both Bryce and Jan began their careers in a command-and-control environment, where plant managers were feared, meetings featured thrown books, and no one felt comfortable offering alternative ideas because they weren't being heard. However, Bryce opted for a different approach. He identifies as a servant leader and has dedicated 51 weeks of his life to traveling by bus to demonstrate his commitment.These bus tours form the core of their discussion. Over the course of a week, Bryce visits four plants with 50 employees from every level and function, working from 5:30 in the morning until 10:30 at night, all focused on learning to operate Ford's production system in a unified way. This initiative is how Bryce turns culture into a tangible experience for the team. He emphasizes aspects that many leaders overlook: he turns off his phone so his team can learn to operate independently, encourages two ideas from every operator, and uses Thomas Edison's 2,332 inventions as a benchmark for what his team can achieve in a single year.This conversation explores what it takes to accelerate a company with over a century of history. Trust and kindness are powerful business tools. He advocates for accountability without fear, highlighting that culture should not be viewed as a soft concept; rather, it is the backbone that drives results.If you're a leader in this industry, Bryce will illustrate what shifts when you stop trying to control your team and start believing in them.Themes Discussed in this EpisodeWhy culture is the real transformation story at FordBreaking command and control at the manufacturing scaleServant leadership across 40-plus Ford plantsThe bus tour is a culture change engineEmpowerment over micromanagement in a legacy organizationActivating the minds of 100,000 peopleDriving innovation through frontline operator ideasThis episode is sponsored by Lockton, click here to learn more

Φτάσαμε στο 10ο επεισόδιο της σεζόν με τους διάσημους επιστήμονες και, πριν στέψουμε τον Νο.1, σταματάμε στους «επιλαχόντες»: τα μεγάλα ονόματα που, για τον έναν ή τον άλλο λόγο, δεν χώρεσαν στη δεκάδα μας. Το κάνουμε παιχνίδι — ο καθένας κρατάει κρυφή τη δική του πεντάδα και, σαν ναυμαχία, όποιος προλάβει να πει ένα όνομα πρώτος το «καίει» από τον άλλον. Από τον Gauss και τον Dirac μέχρι την Emmy Noether και τον Pasteur, κι από τον Boltzmann και τον Μέντελ μέχρι το ηλεκτρομαγνητικό τρίο Franklin-Faraday-Maxwell, περνάμε γρήγορα από όσους αξίζει να ακουστούν — και καταλήγουμε ότι ο μόνος που θα μπορούσε αντικειμενικά να είχε μπει στην κανονική δεκάδα ήταν ο Αριστοτέλης.

Başarısızlıktan mı korkuyorsunuz? Yoksa aslında başarısız olmaktan korktuğunuz için hiç başlamıyor musunuz? Birçok insan hedeflerine ulaşamaz çünkü yeterince yetenekli değildir diye değil, başarısızlık ihtimali nedeniyle harekete geçemez. Yeni bir işe başlamaz. Yeni bir beceri öğrenmez. Bir girişim kurmaz. Hayallerinin peşinden gitmez. Bu videoda başarısızlık korkusunun gerçek nedenlerini, hayatımızı nasıl sınırladığını ve onu nasıl güçlü bir öğrenme aracına dönüştürebileceğimizi konuşuyoruz. Bu bölümde; ✅ Başarısızlık korkusu neden oluşur? ✅ Toplum bize başarısızlık hakkında ne öğretti? ✅ Başarısızlık gerçekten kötü bir şey midir? ✅ Başarılı insanlar başarısızlığa nasıl bakar? ✅ J.K. Rowling, Steve Jobs ve Thomas Edison'un başarısızlık hikâyeleri ✅ Başarısızlık sonrası SWOT analizi nasıl yapılır? ✅ Hatalardan öğrenme becerisi nasıl geliştirilir? ✅ Başarısızlığı gelişim fırsatına dönüştürmenin yolları gibi önemli konuları ele alıyoruz. Unutmayın: Başarısızlık bir kimlik değildir. Başarısızlık bir sonuçtur. Ve sonuçlar değiştirilebilir. Hayatta en çok gelişen insanlar, hiç hata yapmayanlar değil; yaptıkları hatalardan ders çıkarmayı öğrenenlerdir. Bu videoyu izledikten sonra yorumlarda şu soruya cevap vermeyi unutmayın: “Sizi en çok geliştiren başarısızlığınız hangisiydi?”
In the late 19th century Thomas Edison forever changed the world with his invention of the lightbulb. Despite the availability of fire, candlelight, and streetlamps, Edison's invention provided a level of sight never before seen. Thanks to Edison, many of us can't imagine a world without constant access to light. In John 8, Jesus tells us that he is the light of the world and that walking with him results not in darkness, but in light and life! Join us this Sunday as we continue in our series "The Seven I Ams."
Failure has a way of getting personal fast. One bad decision, one awkward moment, one plan that collapses, and suddenly we're not just looking at something that went wrong, we're questioning who we are. I'm Danny Mac and today I'm pushing back on that lie with a simple truth: failing doesn't make you a failure. We start with the famous Thomas Edison light bulb story. He failed 1000 times before he finally succeeded in producing a working light. This is a powerful lesson because it captures a mindset most of us need to borrow. Edison didn't treat each attempt as proof he couldn't do it. He treated every “wrong” result as a step toward the right one. That same resilience applies to real life problems like a struggling business, a lost job, a relationship that sours, or a solution that creates a bigger mess. The goal isn't to pretend it doesn't hurt. The goal is to keep moving. Philippians 4:13: “I can do everything through Christ who gives me strength.” From there, I share a practical three-part framework you can use today: assess what went wrong, review what you can learn, and adjust your next move. We also talk about the private battles many people carry like habits, attitudes, and limitations and why you don't have to face those alone. If you need hope and a next step, press play, then share this with someone who's been beating themselves up.

What if the moments just before sleep are the most powerful moments of your day?In this episode of the Uncanny Dally Series of the Healing for Hot Messes Podcast, we take a deep dive into Neville Goddard's SATS (State Akin to Sleep), one of the most discussed manifestation techniques in modern metaphysical thought.But rather than treating SATS as simple manifestation advice, we explore it through the lenses of depth psychology, the unconscious mind, and chaos magic. Why does this liminal state seem so potent? What happens to consciousness as we move between waking and sleeping? And why have mystics, magicians, inventors, and visionaries all pointed to this threshold state as a source of extraordinary creativity and transformation?We also explore the famous creative practices of Salvadore Dali and Thomas Edison, both of whom intentionally worked with the hypnagogic state, the twilight zone between wakefulness and sleep, to generate insights, inventions, and breakthrough ideas.In this conversation, we discuss:

As America prepares to celebrate its 250th anniversary, Carl takes listeners on a bold, unforgettable journey through the people, ideas, and moments that shaped the United States. For the sake of brevity, this special episode traces only a sample of America's heroes, innovators, and cultural icons. From the Enlightenment ideals that inspired the Founding Fathers—Jefferson, Adams, and Franklin—to the defining leadership of George Washington and Abraham Lincoln, the episode explores how liberty, courage, and conviction forged a nation. Lincoln's leadership during the Civil War, and the enduring power of the Gettysburg Address, reveal how America's moral compass was tested—and strengthened. The story expands beyond politics to honor cultural and humanitarian trailblazers, including Elvis Presley, Julia Ward Howe, and Clara Barton, whose influence reshaped music, social reform, and humanitarian care. Modern leadership comes into focus through Eisenhower, Kennedy, Reagan, and Donald Trump, examining moments that redefined America's role at home and on the world stage. The episode also celebrates American creativity and innovation—from Frank Sinatra, Marilyn Monroe, Michael Jackson, and Taylor Swift, to inventors like Thomas Edison, Henry Ford, and Steve Jobs, whose ideas transformed everyday life. Sports legends such as Babe Ruth, Muhammad Ali, Michael Jordan, Serena and Venus Williams, and Shohei Ohtani embody the spirit of perseverance and excellence that continues to inspire generations. Woven throughout is the power of storytelling, honoring literary voices like Mark Twain, Maya Angelou, and Ernest Hemingway, whose words helped shape the American identity. As the nation approaches 250 years of independence, this episode stands as both a tribute and a challenge: honor the past, protect the principles that unite us, and take part in shaping what comes next. America's story isn't finished. What will you contribute?

In 1917, a dead Mark Twain "wrote" a novel through a Ouija board — and the lawsuit that followed forced everyone to ask who really owns a book authored from the afterlife.EPISODE BLOG PAGE (includes sources): https://weirddarkness.com/ghostwritingREAD or DOWNLOAD the full transcript of this episode: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/366f2snyFEATURED STORIES IN THIS EPISODE: Did Mark Twain write a new novel after he was dead? If so, how? *** Though David Parker Ray's girlfriend Cindy Hendy helped him commit numerous rapes and murders in the 1990s, she was released in 2019 and walks free today. *** Louis Le Prince vanished under mysterious circumstances, but did he willingly decide to hide from the outside world, or was he murdered? *** A man has a dream so disturbing that he's deeply affected by it well after he dreamt it. And the reason it stuck with him could be that it wasn't a dream after all – but a premonition of something horrible to come. *** Shortly after finishing her junior year of high school, Alissa Turner disappeared, never to be seen alive again. Her murder would've gone unsolved if not for the social media platform, TikTok. *** Humans have been fascinated with Mars ever since we learned it was a planet. But why are we so obsessed with it? Is it simply our next step towards deep-space travel, or are we drawn to it for a more basic reason… because our ancestors originated from there? *** There are many UFO sightings on record, but ones that are accompanied by missing time are particularly interesting. Perhaps not least as they might suggest something more akin to alien abduction than just a mere sighting. We'll look at one particular incident that took place in Nebraska in 1966.CHAPTERS & TIME STAMPS (All Times Approximate)…00:00:00.000 = Show Open00:02:26.278 = Do Copyright Laws Apply To Spirit Writing?00:13:54.317 = The Murder Solved Through TikTok ***00:19:27.188 = The Nebraska Time Affair00:35:44.438 = The Strange Dreams of Mr. Moir ***00:40:33.850 = Did Our Ancestors Live On Mars?00:52:06.275 = The Toy Box Killer's Girlfriend ***01:01:04.695 = The Strange Disappearance of Louis Le Prince01:06:58.396 = Show Close*** = Begins immediately after inserted ad breakLISTEN ON PODCAST APPS: Look for this podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeart Radio, Amazon Music, Pandora, TuneIn Radio, and other podcast apps.

Copyright ©2026, Weird Darkness.Originally aired: December, 2022This episode of Weird Darkness moves through posthumous authorship, serial murder, a vanished film pioneer, a TikTok-cracked cold case, alien abduction, Martian origins, and a premonition dug out of the ground.It opens in 1990s New Mexico, where Cindy Hendy helped David Parker Ray abduct, rape, and torture as many as sixty women inside the trailer he called his "Toy Box," a space fitted with ceiling mirrors that forced victims to watch their own suffering. Hendy tracked down targets and stood by while Ray tormented them with electric shocks and medical instruments, until Cynthia Vigil escaped on March 22, 1999, running naked into traffic in Elephant Butte with a dog collar around her neck after stabbing Hendy in the neck with an icepick. Sentenced in 2000 to thirty-six years, Hendy was released on July 15, 2019, because her plea deal predated a law requiring violent offenders to serve eighty-five percent of their terms, and she walks free today.From there the episode crosses to France and the case of Louis Le Prince, born in Metz in 1841 and credited as the forgotten father of motion pictures for building a sixteen-lens camera in 1888. He boarded a train from Dijon to Paris on September 16, 1890, waved off by his brother, and was gone when the train arrived, luggage and all. Thomas Edison spent years asserting sole ownership of cinematography, and Le Prince's son Adolphe, who testified against him, was found shot dead on Fire Island in 1902; a diary entry attributed to Edison and dated September 20, 1890, reportedly records that a man named Eric called from Dijon to say "Prince is no more."Next comes the disappearance of Alissa Turney, a Phoenix teenager last seen on May 17, 2001, after finishing her junior year and arguing with her stepfather, Michael Turney, who claimed she ran away to California. A 2008 search of his home turned up twenty-six homemade explosive devices and a ninety-eight-page manifesto, and he served time on federal bomb charges before his release in 2017. Alissa's younger sister, Sarah Turney, built a TikTok following past one million people around the hashtag campaign for her sister, and in August 2020 Michael Turney was charged with the murder.The episode then turns to a lonely road outside Columbus, Nebraska, on September 5, 1966, where a seventeen-year-old riding his motorcycle to meet his girlfriend's parents saw a completely circular object hovering roughly a hundred feet overhead, ringed with green, red, and yellow lights and emitting a low hum he felt resonate through his body. His engine raged and his wheels spun, but the bike held frozen in place; a five-minute trip took over thirty minutes, and he could never account for the missing time. The same night, radar at Finland Air Force Station in Minnesota tracked an oval craft with the same colored underside, prompting two F-89 jets to scramble from Duluth before it vanished.The Mars segment follows, examining why NASA, SpaceX, and Elon Musk remain fixed on a cold desert planet, and the fringe claim that human life may have originated there billions of years ago before Mars lost its magnetic field and its atmosphere was stripped away by solar wind. The piece leans on the detail that astronauts in space drift toward a 24.9-hour circadian rhythm matching the Martian day, and cites Haim Eshed, former head of Israel's space program, who claimed a secret underground base on Mars where American astronauts and aliens work together, alongside NASA scientist Jim Green's proposal to shield the planet with an artificial magnetic field placed at the Sun-Mars L1 point.Mark Twain surfaces next, seven years after Samuel Clemens died in 1910, when a novel called "The Coming of Jap Herron" appeared in 1917, purportedly dictated by his spirit through a Ouija board to Emily Grant Hutchings and Lola V. Hays. Hutchings, a Hannibal-born writer who had corresponded with Twain in life, had earlier channeled a supposed seventeenth-century spirit named Patience Worth, and psychical researcher James Hyslop tested the Twain claim by asking the ghost to relay the line "Hyslop is a cabbage head," a message that never arrived. Because Harper and Brothers held exclusive rights to Twain's work, his daughter Clara Clemens moved to block publication, and the resulting suit against publisher Mitchell Kennerley ended with every copy pulled from shelves.The episode closes in June 1870 near Boyndie, Scotland, where farm bailiff William Moir dreamed of a bloodied corpse lying on sloping ground near the shore, and weeks later helped carry a drowned asylum inmate over that exact spot, watching blood appear on the dead man's face when the body slipped from its board. The vision returned relentlessly through 1871 until, in January 1872, Moir took a spade to a place called Stakeness and unearthed a human skull and skeleton estimated to be at least fifty years old, in ground where villagers recalled a man named Elder had vanished decades earlier, reportedly murdered in the very room where Moir later slept. The discovery did not free him; he sank into a religious depression and died in October 1873.
Foundations of Amateur Radio It's a curious thing, this hobby of ours, in that the more you want out of it, the more challenging it becomes. For example, you might start your journey with a VHF or UHF handheld radio, sometimes referred to as a Walkie-Talkie or a Handy, and you start listening to the local repeater, or you try to make contact with a friend. Then you discover that it doesn't always work, so you learn about interference, terrain and antenna gain. You start looking for higher elevation or a better antenna and you discover that now you hear more, but you still can't talk to your friends and before long you're building filters and testing other gear and the journey continues unabated. This same incremental experience happens across every aspect of the hobby and it happens to all of us, perhaps unwitting participants on this amateur radio journey. Sometimes this experience leads to becoming discombobulated, discontented, disinterested and ultimately leads to disengagement, which in my opinion, does not need to be the case. Throughout our community we often talk about failure, as-in, a failed contact, a failed activation, a failed antenna or failed design, and on and on it goes. It occurs to me that we're not the only people who have this experience. "But the student will find that experience is the best teacher. The reason why I get along with comparative ease now is because I know from experience the enormous number of things that won't work. For instance, I start on a new invention to-morrow. From the great number of experiments I have made, and the vast amount of information I have stored up, I am saved a great deal of time and trouble in not having to travel over barren ground." If that sounds somewhat familiar, and reminds you of a quote about light-bulbs and failure, you're in good company, since those words were written in 1882 by the very same inventor of the light-bulb, Thomas Edison. In other words, the process of doing something doesn't end in failure, it's an experience, a point of learning, or if you want to be scientific about it, it's another data point. Just because something didn't go as expected, doesn't mean that it failed, just that something unexpected happened. I'm talking about this because we live in an increasingly complex world where our chosen hobby is made up from the very foundation on which we understand everything around us, the electromagnetic spectrum and all that it implies. Our adventures, frustrating as we might find them, are built upon the shoulders of giants who became silent keys long before our parents walked this Earth. Your participation, little by little, increases our global knowledge, experience and understanding and when something unexpected happens, it's time to celebrate, rather than give up in disgust. I've only been playing with radios for a short time, especially when I compare it with my experience in other areas of technology, but I can say, that framing matters. "Failure" is, in my experience, regularly thought of in a negative light and all too often it leads people to stop playing, because who really derives joy from banging your head against a wall? So, next time, when you're about to use that dreaded F-word, consider what might happen if you thought of it as a piece of experience earned instead? I'm Onno VK6FLAB

Overland Journal podcast host Scott Brady talks with Jason Speck of Mountain State Overland at historic Camp Cheat in West Virginia about his outdoors origins in scouting, preparedness, and the importance of training with gear before it's needed. They compare overlanding in the East versus the West, including narrower trails, frequent downed trees, and incorporating history and multi-sport activities into trips. Speck shares route highlights like Canaan Loop, Spruce Knob–Seneca Rocks, Dolly Sods, the Mid-Atlantic BDR, and the Trans America Trail, emphasizing discovery and responsible travel through micro-groups and Tread Lightly principles. The episode explores Camp Cheat's connection to “The Vagabonds”—Henry Ford, Thomas Edison, Harvey Firestone, and John Burroughs—who stayed there during a 1918 motor-camping trip. Speck also discusses his Tacoma/Modcap setup, community events like Adventure XFest, and the need for guide standards and safety.

GONOMAD TRAVEL PODCAST — SHOW NOTESExploring the Quirky Hammond Castle of Gloucester, MassachusettsOn this episode of the GoNOMAD Travel Podcast, contributor Susmita Sengupta takes us to the rugged, wave‑carved coastline of Cape Ann, Massachusetts — home to one of New England's most eccentric landmarks: Hammond Castle.Built between 1926 and 1929 by inventor John Hays Hammond Jr., the castle rises dramatically above the Atlantic, its stone towers and arched windows overlooking the crashing surf. Hammond, known as the Father of Radio Control, held hundreds of patents and transformed his seaside home into both a medieval fantasy and a working laboratory.The drive from Boston to Gloucester is a scenic hour along winding coastal roads, with ocean views that beg for photo stops. Arrive mid‑morning, and head straight to the lookout point — a rocky perch framing the open sea through stone arches.Inside, the castle feels like stepping into another century. Visitors wander beneath Gothic archways, climb narrow towers, and explore rooms filled with Renaissance art and ancient artifacts Hammond collected from Europe.The Great Hall is the showstopper — a cathedral‑like space with a massive fireplace, a stained‑glass window, and Hammond's own pipe organ. From there, the tour leads to the glass‑roofed courtyard, lush with tropical plants and a pool dyed bright green to disguise its nine‑foot depth. Inspired by the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, this space blends art, science, and whimsy.The library holds over two thousand books and features the famous Whisper Ceiling, an acoustic marvel that amplifies a whisper at its center while keeping it inaudible elsewhere. Hammond's mischievous streak appears in the Room Without Doors, where seamless wallpaper hides the entrance so well that guests often found themselves trapped until they called for help.In the Inventions Room, exhibits showcase Hammond's pioneering work in radio control, FM broadcasting, and early sound amplification — including his World War I radio‑guided torpedo. His friendships with Thomas Edison and Alexander Graham Bell are chronicled here, revealing the scientific network that shaped his career.After touring the castle, Susmita suggests extending your day trip to nearby Manchester‑by‑the‑Sea, just fifteen minutes away. Relax at Masconomo Park overlooking the harbor, or visit Singing Beach, where the sand hums beneath your feet.End your day at Lobsta Land, a Gloucester favorite for more than thirty years. Enjoy fresh seafood while watching herons and egrets glide across the salt marshes — just remember, they're closed on Mondays.Hammond Castle is more than a museum; it's a glimpse into the mind of a man who fused invention with imagination. Combining its history with the natural beauty of Cape Ann makes for a perfect New England adventure.CALLS TO ACTIONListen to more episodes of the GoNOMAD Travel Podcast: Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/gonomad-travel-podcast/id1525960132 (podcasts.apple.com in Bing) Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4xXGq5yRvCNrI6VsgGAaZp (open.spotify.com in Bing)Read more travel stories on GoNOMAD: https://www.gonomad.comFollow GoNOMAD on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/gonomadtravel (instagram.com in Bing)Cape Ann, MASusmita Sengupta, an architect by background, from New York City, loves to travel with her family.

Smithsonian Secretary Lonnie G. Bunch III has spent a lifetime thinking about how history gets told. Before becoming the head of the Smithsonian, he was a curator, someone whose job is deciding which stories, people, and objects help us make sense of ourselves. So as America approaches its 250th birthday, Lizzie wanted to know: if you had to tell the story of the United States through just a handful of things, where would you begin?In this special episode, Secretary Bunch puts his curator hat back on to lead Lizzie through American Aspirations, a new exhibition he co-curated. Starting with the desk on which the Declaration of Independence was drafted, they get up close with some of the nation's most treasured objects: Abraham Lincoln campaign swag, Amelia Earhart's flight suit, Thomas Edison's light bulb, and even a miniature Statue of Liberty (which is still pretty big!). What can these objects reveal about a nation still striving to become its best self?Guest: Lonnie G. Bunch III, Secretary of the Smithsonian InstitutionThe American Aspirations exhibition at the Smithsonian Castle was co-curated by Smithsonian Secretary Bunch — alongside Abeer Saha, curator at the National Museum of American History, and Harry Rubenstein, curator emeritus at the National Museum of American History.American Aspirations received support from Jacqueline B. Mars and the Smithsonian's Our Shared Future: 250, a Smithsonian-wide initiative commemorating the nation's 250th. Major support for Our Shared Future: 250 has been provided by Lilly Endowment Inc. Additional contributions have been made by Target and the Gates Foundation.To watch a video version of this podcast find us on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/smithsonian

In this episode, I explore why failure is not something to hide, but something to study, share, and even celebrate. Drawing inspiration from the “Flops” exhibition at the Musée des Arts et Métiers, I look at how psychology, religion, science, and art all reveal the same truth: my mistakes are often the very things that shape my character, deepen my relationships, and point me toward a more meaningful life.Why failed products like BIC for Her and New Coke can teach us about resilienceThe psychology of growth mindset, self-compassion, and learning from mistakesHow traditions like Kintsugi and teshuvah honor repair over perfectionStories of famous failures from Thomas Edison to J.K.

Signs of Life - The Gathering With Bob Ginsberg, Marta Kane and Tom and Melissa Gould Messages Beyond the Veil: The Gathering on Reincarnation, Spirit Love, Angels, and Life After Death This episode of Signs of Life radio, hosted by the Forever Family Foundation, explores the intersection of scientific inquiry and spiritual experience. The discussion features Bob Ginsberg, Tom and Melissa Gould, and Marta Kristen as they address listener questions regarding the scientific acceptance of the afterlife, the nature of life reviews, and the validity of various forms of mediumship. Bob Ginsberg Opens Signs of Life: The Gathering In this episode of Signs of Life: The Gathering, host Bob Ginsberg is joined by Marta Kane, Tom Gould, and Melissa Gould for a listener-question program centered on survival of consciousness. Bob opens with announcements from Forever Family Foundation, including the upcoming July grief retreat, a mediumship raffle, and a California medium and psychic development conference. The group then turns to audience questions about reincarnation, spirit communication, afterlife relationships, soul memories, angels, suicide, and what proof of the afterlife might mean for humanity. Reincarnation Back Into the Same Family The first major question asks whether a soul can reincarnate back to the same mother. Bob says researcher Jim Matlock believes this is possible and that children who die very young, or even before birth, often reincarnate back into the same family and sometimes to the same mother. The group discusses how reincarnation cases are investigated through memories, family recognition, physical markings, and records. They also recall a child at a previous grief retreat who said he had been here before and did not want to stay because people had not learned much since his last life. Love and Relationships After Death Another listener asks whether a loved one who has crossed over still maintains the earthly relationship they had with a partner or family member. The group agrees that love continues after death and that a lack of direct “I love you” messages in a reading should not be taken as evidence that the relationship is gone. Bob explains that mediums often focus first on evidence of identity, while Tom adds that the very effort of a spirit coming through in a reading can itself be seen as a message of love. Being Born Aware and Early Memories Bob introduces the idea of people who are born aware, meaning they retain memories from birth, pre-birth, or the other side. The hosts discuss whether early-life impressions remain in the body or subconscious even when people do not consciously remember them. Marta shares that she remembers certain early experiences from her time in an orphanage, including both frightening and joyful moments. The group reflects on how strong memories, especially emotional ones, can stay with people and shape them even when ordinary details fade. Soul Readings, Past Lives, and Angelic Encounters The group answers a question about soul readings, explaining that these are usually described as explorations of a person's inner essence, soul blueprint, emotional patterns, or spiritual alignment. Bob notes that this kind of work is harder to evaluate evidentially than mediumship. Marta then raises the question of whether angels can appear as people. The hosts share stories of mysterious helpers who appear during danger or crisis and then disappear, including roadside helpers, rescue stories, and a mountain encounter that may have been a visitation from a deceased mother. Personality, Humor, and Communication in Spirit A listener asks whether people retain personalities in the afterlife and whether personalities ever clash. The hosts agree that personality appears to continue, especially because mediums often receive humor, mannerisms, and familiar expressions as evidence. Marta recalls a reading in which Tom's father came through with the kind of self-description and humor that matched him. At the same time, the group suggests that ego-driven conflict may fade because communication on the other side is often understood as telepathic, loving, and less burdened by human emotional distortions. Suicide, Compassion, and the Afterlife One of the most sensitive questions concerns whether someone who dies by suicide still has hope for the afterlife. Bob strongly reassures the listener that the answer is yes. He says suicide is often connected to emotional pain, depression, or illness, and he questions why mental illness should be treated differently from physical illness. Marta adds that the idea of punishing someone after death for ending their life in despair does not make sense to her, especially if one believes in divine love and forgiveness. The group frames the afterlife as compassionate, loving, and free from the harsh judgment some religious teachings may imply. Technology, Spirit Contact, and Future Proof The hosts also discuss whether future technology may make communication with the next world easier. They mention that Thomas Edison reportedly worked on the idea of a device to communicate with spirit and speculate that future discoveries about consciousness, information, communication, and perhaps artificial intelligence could help open new paths. Bob then poses a larger question: what would happen if spirit offered humanity irrefutable proof of survival after death? The group wonders whether people would live more recklessly, become more compassionate, lose fear of death, or simply appreciate life more deeply. Living With the Knowledge That Life Continues The episode closes with reflection on how belief in survival of consciousness changes the way people live. Tom says the work of Forever Family Foundation has given him confidence that consciousness continues, and that this has reduced fear, including during surgery. The group agrees that knowing life continues should not lead people to hasten death, but to value the present life more fully. They close with Claude Swanson's global peace prayer, encouraging love, forgiveness, kindness, care for the earth, and the reminder that loved ones are only a heartbeat away.
What happens when one of history's greatest inventors becomes the subject of a full-scale rock opera? On this episode of Mostly Superheroes, Logan sits down with Mark Rodgers, writer, producer, and composer of Nikola Tesla: Light It Up, alongside legendary St. Louis performer Jason Nelson, to explore the music, history, and passion behind this groundbreaking production.

Thomas Edison is one of the most celebrated inventors in American history, having helped transform a world lit by candles and gas lamps into one powered by electricity. Over his lifetime he was granted more than a thousand patents, and pioneered the very idea of organized innovation at his ground-breaking research and development laboratories. But the story of how he did it is complicated. So, to help us understand Edison's remarkable achievements, Lindsay is joined by Dr. Paul Israel, Director and General Editor of the Thomas A. Edison Papers at Rutgers University. He's the author of Edison: A Life of Invention.

By 1888, the race to power America's cities had become a battle between the rival visions of Thomas Edison and Nikola Tesla. But when the powerful industrialist George Westinghouse threw his weight behind Tesla and his AC system, what had been a personal falling out became something far larger – a war over the future of electricity itself. Their bitter fight spilled into courtrooms, ignited a national debate about capital punishment, and culminated in a fierce competition for the contract to illuminate the most ambitious event of the decade: the Chicago World's Fair.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
Send us Fan MailMy guest today is Aimie K. Runyan, author of Mademoiselle Eiffel, listed in the Visual Arts category on Art In Fiction.View the video on YouTube: https://youtu.be/_JcFmRQ4PcQWhy Aimie chose to write about Claire Eiffel rather than her more famous father, and the surprising role Claire played in running Gustave's household, social life, and business from the age of 14.The wax figure of Claire at the top of the Eiffel Tower, alongside Gustave and Thomas Edison, and the historical meeting it commemorates.How clothing functions as armor and identity in the novel, particularly Claire's corset as a symbol of constraint reframed as protection in a world not built for ambitious women.The invisible female labor at the heart of the story, and what Claire sacrificed, including her art and her choice of husband, to secure her place at her father's side.The opposition to the Eiffel Tower from artists, architects, and Gustave's own friend Garnier, and what the contrast between the Opéra Garnier and the tower reveals about two competing visions of modernity.Aimie's research trips to Paris and the Musée d'Orsay archives, where the Eiffel family correspondence, party menus, and letters from admirers have been preserved since 1981.What Aimie gained by returning to the archives after the story was already written.The Panama Canal scandal, Gustave's complicated legacy, and why writing through Claire's adoring lens required Aimie to be deliberately even-handed with a man who was "no more of a villain than your average rich man used to getting his own way."The oldest daughter narrative and why Claire's story resonates today, including a frank conversation about the undervaluing of women's labor and the difference between "emotional labor" and plain old mental load.Aimie's advice to writers on research: travel if you can, use Google Earth if you can't, never hesitate to contact museum curators, and know that one good research trip can fuel three books.Reading from the scene in Portugal where 14-year-old Claire organizes a workers' dinner and earns her first public acknowledgment from her father.Read more about Aimie K.

“If a cluttered desk is a sign of a cluttered mind, of what, then, is an empty desk a sign?”. If you're obsessed with having a tidy work environment, you may want to consider that that quote comes from none other than Albert Einstein, one of the most renowned geniuses in human history. Given that Mark Twain, Thomas Edison, and even Steve Jobs were also known for working in messy environments, you might be asking yourself whether it's time to start letting your own desk get a little more cluttered. Have there been any studies on whether a messy or tidy desk is best? Why are some people messier than others to start with? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

In the spring of 1884, a little-known Serbian immigrant named Nikola Tesla arrived in America with little more than a letter of introduction to the most famous inventor in the world – Thomas Edison. Tesla went to work for Edison, impressing his new employer with his intelligence and work ethic. But the two men were too different, too stubborn, and too convinced of their own vision to coexist for long. Tesla would break away, determined to prove that his own approach to electricity – a system run on alternating current – was superior to everything Edison had built.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In the 1870s, the age of artificial light was still in its infancy. Gas lamps cast a dim glow on city streets, and early arc lights were just beginning to appear in a handful of public spaces. But reliable, practical light for homes and businesses remained out of reach for most people. Then, in 1878, America's most famous inventor, Thomas Edison, witnessed a demonstration of a novel electric generator and had a spark of inspiration. Edison was convinced that he would be the one to harness electricity to illuminate the world. He set his sights on an audacious goal: not just to improve the light bulb, but to build a system capable of lighting an entire city. It was a vision that would demand years of relentless experimentation and push him to the brink of failure. And just as his system flickered to life, a new rival would emerge — one with a radically different vision of electricity.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

It's Friday. My wife's been out of town for a whole week. I spent the quiet time digging into famous quotes — the kind you've heard a thousand times but never sat with. Woody Allen. Yogi Berra. Will Rogers. Thomas Edison. The old voices still hit if you sit with them for a minute. Today, I ran seven of their best lines through Scott Logic. You'll leave with a simple way to show up, move when you're stuck, and stop rehearsing the life you're supposed to be living. Press play. Bring coffee. Featured Story My wife has scales everywhere. Kitchen scales. Bathroom scale. She weighs her food like a chemist measuring compounds. Twice a week, she hands me a perfectly measured bowl of ice cream. Four ounces, maybe five. It's good stuff. This week she's out of town. I found the half-gallon in the freezer and went to work. Night one. Night two. Night three. Somewhere around night three, I gave myself too much and realized exactly why she measures. Now I have a problem. Do I eat the rest and pretend it was never there? Do I buy a replacement and slide it onto the shelf? I'll tell you what I'm going to do. Important Points Your competition is mostly imaginary. Most never started or already quit, so showing up 70% puts you ahead of the pack. A wrong turn can always be fixed. Standing frozen at the intersection is where life actually runs you over for good. Figure out what you do naturally, without anyone pushing you, and you'll find the thing you should be doing for real. Memorable Quotes The competition is mostly imaginary. Half never started, the other half quit. Show up and the math takes care of itself. A wrong turn, you can fix. Standing at the intersection, you get honked at and hit by a truck. Life runs you over. Failure is just data. If you pay attention and collect enough of it, you accidentally become an expert in the room. Scott's Three-Step Approach Show up and pick a direction. Most of your competition never started or already quit, so being there puts you ahead. Keep moving when you stumble. Each mistake is just data that stacks until you accidentally become an expert in the room. Handle the unfinished business tonight. Don't let it fester until morning, or it will wear you out by tomorrow. Chapters 0:02 - Wife out of town, and the neighbors keep checking on me 0:41 - Half a gallon of ice cream becomes a real dilemma 3:18 - Why Woody Allen was right about showing up 80% 5:07 - Yogi Berra's fork in the road and how to pick 7:54 - Thomas Edison and 10,000 ways that don't work 9:35 - Why going to bed mad wears you out tomorrow 12:22 - Mae West's truth about living once, done right Connect With Me Search for the Daily Boost on YouTube, Apple Podcasts, and Spotify If you enjoy the Daily Boost, you might like Notes From Scott.

I hate the term "hallucinations" for when AIs say false things. It's perfectly calculated to mislead the reader - to make them think AIs are crazy, or maybe just have incomprehensible failure modes. AIs say false things for the same reason you do. At least, I did. In school, I would take multiple choice tests. When I didn't know the answer to a question, I would guess. Schoolchild urban legend said that "C" was the best bet, so I would fill in bubble C. It was fine. Probably got a couple extra points that way, maybe raised my GPA by 0.1 over the counterfactual. Some kids never guessed. They thought it was dishonest. I had trouble understanding them, but when I think back on it, I had limits too. I would guess on multiple choice questions, but never the short answer section. "Who invented the cotton gin?" For any "who invented" question in US History, there's a 10% chance it's Thomas Edison. Still, I never put down his name. "Who negotiated the purchase of southern Arizona from Mexico?" The most common name in the United States has long been "John Smith", applying to 1/10,000 individuals. An 0.01% chance of getting a question right is better than zero, right? If I'd guessed "John Smith" for every short answer question I didn't know, I might have gotten ~1 extra point in my school career, with no downside. You can go further. https://www.astralcodexten.com/p/shameless-guesses-not-hallucinations
