Ready to rediscover Colorado's statehood story? To commemorate the state's 150th anniversary on August 1, 2026, Lost Highways hit the road for an all-new, three-part series asking what happens to our sense of our state when we rethink its starting points. We're kicking things off with "Expedition 1776," tracking the epic journey of two Franciscan priests through what became Colorado. While the thirteen colonies were busy declaring independence in the East, these two men were leading an expedition through treacherous canyons, surviving on porcupine meat, and relying on Ute guidance to map the rugged American West. They were searching for a shortcut to California, but their journey offers something much bigger: a look at an alternate Western history playing out on a the other side of the continent. Join us in welcoming back hosts Noel Black and Tyler Hill as we explore the empires, the maps, and the "what-ifs" of our statehood story.

The Tim Conway Jr Show Hour with Andy Riesmeyer Hour 3 (7.23) Andy’s in-studio guest is KTLA entertainment producer Christine Samra, who starts her day at 5 a.m. working alongside Andy on TV and is also a highly experienced traffic reporter — a true woman of many talents. She was thrilled to have Lou Diamond Phillips at the station today. Christine half-jokingly calls herself the “personality hire” at KTLA (we’re fine with it), and she and Andy dig into their chat with Phillips, who looked back on filming the ’80s Western classic Young Guns with Emilio Estevez, Kiefer Sutherland, Charlie Sheen, and Dermot Mulroney. Traffic experts Angel Martinez and Christine compare notes on the trickiest spots in LA for live traffic reports. In other news, stores like Sephora are turning the music down — not because of older shoppers, but because younger, often neurodivergent customers are asking for less sensory overload. Andy takes a quick trip down memory lane to his Abercrombie & Fitch days and takes a few shots at podcast stereotypes. And the latest homeless count in Los Angeles is up about 3.4%, back to 2024 levels, despite tens of millions spent — Mayor Karen Bass is pointing the finger at the Trump administration.

On Wednesday's Mark Levin Show, New Jersey officials, and a software vendor IDEMIA are publicly disputing responsibility for a glitch that registered about 6,600 non-citizens to vote. Between New Jersey, the election mess in California, and such historic examples as the Chicago political machine and LBJ in Texas, it's clear Democrats want to legalize fraud and give permanent power to the Democratic party. Also, Jake Altman, a former DSA member, describes a rise in extremism within the organization, including collaboration with Leninist groups and anti-U.S./Western sentiment, leading to his exit over their stance blaming American imperialism for Russia's invasion of Ukraine. DSA-backed candidates are winning primaries, but their new platform reveals radical goals: ending the presidency and Supreme Court, abolishing prisons, closing overseas U.S. military bases, and lifting sanctions on Cuba, Venezuela, and Iran—aims that seek to fundamentally dismantle American institutions and life. Marxist Islamists are focused on destroying the country. The heroic men and women in the military, police, and ICE officers are under assault by communists, Islamists, and Democrats, who seek utter lawlessness, chaos, and anarchy to establish their police state. Communists claim to champion the working class but in power enslave, brutalize, and kill it, with communism responsible for over 100 million deaths. Later, U.S. actions in Iran are noble and righteous to defeat a regime that will not disappear on its own, rejects coexistence, and seeks the elimination of its enemies. We need to partner with ready allies—the Israelis (Mossad, IDF, air force) and willing Persian people—while using the CIA to arm those seeking retribution and to reclaim their country, without deploying large numbers of U.S. troops. Democrats would appease and fund the enemy, but acting now with these allies is essential to prevent further civilian and military deaths and avert the regime's relentless pursuit of ballistic missiles with nuclear warheads.

Welcome to Day 2911 of Wisdom-Trek, and thank you for joining me. Day 2911 – Theology Thursday – Heresy: Meaning, History, and Misuse Wisdom-Trek Podcast Script - Day 2911 Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps!   I am Guthrie Chamberlain, and we are on Day 2911 of our Trek.   The Purpose of Wisdom-Trek is to create a legacy of wisdom, to seek out discernment and insights, and to boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before. Our current series of Theology Thursday lessons is written by theologian and teacher John Daniels. I have found that his lessons are short, easy to understand, doctrinally sound, and applicable to all who desire to learn more of God's Word. John's lessons can be found on his website   theology infive.com.   Today's lesson is titled: Heresy: Meaning, History, and Misuse. The word heresy comes from the Greek hairesis, which originally meant “choice” or “faction.” In the New Testament, it began to carry the weight of theological rebellion. It referred to false teaching that breaks fellowship and corrupts the truth. Heresy is not simply error or misunderstanding. It is deviation from the foundational truths of the gospel, concerning who God is, who Christ is, and what salvation requires. The apostle Paul warned against such distortions, calling out those who pervert the message of grace and urging Titus to reject those who sow division after being warned. Heresy is not measured by how controversial an idea is, but by whether it distorts the saving message of Christ or promotes a false gospel. In that sense, heresy is deadly. It is not just wrong. It is soul-destroying. The first segment is: The Struggle for Doctrinal Clarity in the Early Church The early church faced enormous pressure to define and defend the truth. As Christianity spread across the Roman world, it encountered competing philosophies and religious systems. Some sought to harmonize the gospel with these foreign ideas, leading to teachings that retained the vocabulary of Christianity but not its meaning. This is where heresy found fertile ground. Among the earliest and most dangerous of these teachings was Gnosticism, which rejected the goodness of creation and denied the full humanity of Christ. Marcionism took a more radical path by discarding the Old Testament and portraying the God of Israel as cruel and inferior. Pelagianism undermined the doctrine of sin by teaching that humans could achieve righteousness without divine grace. Each of these required a response, not out of fear of disagreement, but out of pastoral urgency to protect the flock from destructive error. No heresy had a greater impact, both theologically and politically, than Arianism. The teaching of Arius, that the Son was a created being and not fully divine, directly challenged the very identity of Christ. Although condemned at the Council of Nicaea in 325 AD, Arianism did not die. It took root in the outer regions of the Roman Empire and sowed seeds of division that helped bring about its collapse. The second segment is: Arianism and the Fragmentation of the Western Empire. The theological consequences of Arianism were clear. It reduced Christ to a lesser being, stripping the gospel of its divine foundation. Its political consequences were just as devastating. While the Roman Church clung to Nicene orthodoxy, many of the Germanic tribes who bordered the empire were converted to Arian Christianity. Missionaries like Ulfilas brought a version of the gospel that bore Christ's name but denied His nature. When the Visigoths sacked Rome in 410 AD, they did so not as pagans but as heretical Christians. The same was true of the Vandals and later the Ostrogoths, whose kings ruled Italy while holding to Arian doctrine. The theological divide between ruler and people, between Church and state, tore at the fabric of Western society. The Church could not fully unify with leaders who confessed a false Christ, and the people remained culturally alienated from their kings. This division made the Western Roman Empire vulnerable. It robbed the empire of a unifying spiritual identity at the very moment it needed cohesion to survive external threats. Though not the only factor in Rome's collapse, Arianism was a theological wedge that fractured its heart. By the time Justinian reconquered parts of the West and reimposed Nicene orthodoxy in the sixth century, the Western Empire was a shadow of what it had been. A heresy that began in theological debate had helped bring down a civilization. The third segment is: When Everything Becomes Heresy. Over time, the word heresy lost its theological precision. Instead of referring to soul-endangering errors about God, Christ, and salvation, it began to be applied to any disagreement or dissent. This shift had tragic consequences. In some periods of church history, those who merely questioned traditional practices or sought to reform corruption were branded as heretics. The term became a tool for control rather than a measure of truth. Even within Protestant traditions, theological disagreements over baptism, church polity, or spiritual gifts have sometimes been exaggerated into accusations of heresy, dividing believers unnecessarily. This misuse of the term does not protect the church. It weakens it. When every disagreement is labeled heresy, the word loses its force, and the real dangers become harder to identify. Instead of guarding the flock, the misuse of heresy becomes a way to suppress thought, enforce conformity, or settle personal disputes. Ironically, some modern cults and false teachers now invert the accusation. They call orthodox Christianity heretical because it does not conform to their reimagined doctrines. The charge of heresy has become, in some cases, a mirror for pride rather than a tool of discernment. The fourth segment is: A Modern Example: Is Pre-Tribulation Rapture Heresy? In contemporary evangelical circles, one of the most fiercely debated doctrines is the Pre-Tribulation Rapture. This is the idea that believers will be taken up to heaven before a future period of global tribulation. Popularized in the 19th and 20th centuries, this view has deeply shaped modern Christian imagination. But is it heresy? The answer is no. Pre-Tribulation Rapture theology, while likely incorrect and theologically shallow, does not deny the core tenets of the faith. It affirms the Trinity, the incarnation, the death and resurrection of Christ, and salvation by grace through faith. It is not heresy in the biblical or historical sense. That said, its influence is not neutral. When taught dogmatically, it can create a fragile form of faith, one that collapses under suffering or real-world trials. It fosters escapism and disengagement, tempting believers to wait for rescue rather than prepare for endurance. In some circles, the view has even been elevated to a test of orthodoxy, dividing churches and condemning dissenters. In these cases, the danger lies not in the doctrine itself, but in the way it is wielded. This example highlights the difference between heresy and error. Not every mistaken belief is heresy, but not every non-heresy is harmless. Pre-Tribulationism must be confronted with Scripture and pastoral clarity, not because it damns the soul, but because it distorts Christian hope and undermines discipleship. The fifth segment is: Holding the Line Without Crossing It In guarding the truth, the Church must walk a narrow path. On one side lies indifference, where everything is tolerated and nothing is contended for. On the other lies arrogance, where every disagreement is treated as a threat and the word heresy is used like a club. Both lead to ruin. The example of Arianism shows that heresy is real, and its effects are catastrophic. But the misuse of the term reveals a different kind of danger — the slow erosion of discernment and the collapse of Christian charity. We must learn again to distinguish between essential and non-essential doctrines, between errors that must be confronted and differences that can be endured. This requires returning to the Scriptures, testing every teaching, and holding fast to what is good. It also means learning from the early church, which took truth seriously without descending into tyranny. They did not shy away from calling out heresy, but they did so with care, consistency, and a clear understanding of what was at stake. In Conclusion Heresy is not a word to be thrown around lightly. It refers to spiritual poison, distortions of God's truth that lead people away from salvation. The Church has always had to fight for the gospel, and that fight continues today. But if the sword of truth is swung wildly, it wounds the innocent and weakens the body. By understanding what heresy truly is, and what it is not, we honor the truth, protect the church, and point people back to the grace of Christ. Not every error is heresy. But every misuse of the word heresy threatens to create new errors of its own. For further study, consider these...

House Oversight hearing exposed just how far the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History has fallen — and Reps. Brandon Gill and Tim Burchett made sure the whole country saw it. Gill's now-viral exchange with Director Anthea Hartig, catching her defending a "toolkit" that lists politeness as a marker of "white supremacy culture," was one of the most devastating moments in a congressional hearing in years. Burchett's questioning on inappropriate content pushed on children was just as damning.Hartig couldn't answer basic questions about her own institution's materials because there's no honest answer to give. This is a taxpayer-funded museum that has decided the values that built the greatest civilization in human history — order, family, hard work, objectivity, courtesy — are something to be pathologized rather than celebrated.Join me as I break down the full hearing, why Western and white culture built the modern world's freedoms and prosperity, and why the Smithsonian's leadership needs to be held accountable — or replaced.Join me LIVE right after the open-access show. Clarence Thomas x 9: Perfect SCOTUS Mugs! https://tinyurl.com/k778wj2kBONUS SHOW STARTS IMMEDIATELY AFTER MAIN SHOW, FOR MEMBERS ONLY!

Katharine Birbalsingh has been deemed “Britain's Strictest Headmistress”—and she wears the title proudly. Founder of Michaela Community School in London, Birbalsingh has built one of the UK's top-performing schools by rejecting the educational fads of the last generation and returning to older principles: discipline, personal responsibility, and patriotism.The Michaela Community School is an inner-city, non-selective charter school. Despite three and a half years of opposition from unions and councils, Birbalsingh fought to be able to provide a good schooling alternative for London's poorer communities. And she's succeeded. Her school has repeatedly ranked No. 1 in student progress in the entire country, and thousands of visitors from around the world have come to study and learn from her model.In this episode, Birbalsingh reveals how Western institutions have quietly abandoned the moral formation of children. This, she argues, has driven civilizational decline more than any policy failure. Birbalsingh argues that many of today's schools immerse children in a culture of grievance and victimhood rather than agency and duty.Birbalsingh details the three pillars of Michaela's educational approach: discipline, teacher-led instruction, and what she calls “small-c conservative values,” such as self-sacrifice, ownership, and accountability.Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and the guest, and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.

John Hardie. President Zelensky's dismissal of Defense Minister Mykhailo Fedorov has sparked wartime protests and unease among Western partners. Fedorov was a key driver of drone innovation and anti-corruption reforms in procurement. His firing is attributed to clashes with Commander-in-Chief Oleksandr Syrskyi, whom protesters characterize as an unpopular "Soviet-style butcher." There are indications Zelensky may reverse course by reinstating Fedorov and potentially firing Syrskyi. (13)1993

What if your relationship struggles aren’t just personal—but shaped by the systems you live in? Akilah Riley Richardson returns to explore how systemic trauma quietly shapes our relationships, nervous systems, and sense of self. Drawing from her work with marginalized couples, she introduces the concept of relational privilege and explains why healing cannot be separated from the social systems we live in. Together, Akilah and Sue challenge traditional Western therapy models, discuss the importance of “responsible externalizing,” and explore how therapists can create space for grief, imagination, and genuine connection instead of trying to fix what cannot simply be solved. “The experiences of marginalized people are often devalued even by helping professionals, and this text is my dedication to carving a space where we, as practitioners, can ensure that we are of service in a way that is rooted in the realities of our people. It is also a reflection of my obligation to marginalized couples and individuals. My sincere wish for them all is that they are never harmed in therapy but instead uplifted. ” – Akilah Riley-Richardson Time Stamps for The Hidden Weight of Systemic Trauma: How Oppression Shapes Our Relationships with Akilah Riley-Richardson (306) 02:05 The systemic trauma faced by marginalized couples 04:12 Barriers for global south therapists and voices 08:00 Fear, threat, and navigating space as a marginalized person 09:57 Relational privilege and systemic influence 12:03 The role of colonial Christianity in systemic trauma 17:50 The danger of model dogmatism in therapy 20:06 Neurobiological threat and systemic trauma 22:02 Practicing responsible externalizing in therapy 26:07 The grief of systemic trauma and loss 28:04 The limitations of evidence-based models 29:58 The need for imagination and community in healing 31:47 The concept of lostness and liminality in trauma 34:06 The danger of attachment to models and frameworks 35:59 Differentiating systemic from relational reality 38:10 Yoruba and indigenous healing traditions 41:59 The influence of colonialism and imperialism on therapy 43:53 Acknowledge systemic trauma in therapist self-awareness 49:57 Habits of survival and internalized oppression 51:52 The impact of systemic trauma on body and mind About our Guest – Akilah Riley-Richardson, MSW, CCTP Akilah Riley-Richardson, MSW, CCTP is a dedicated therapist, educator, and researcher with several years of experience.

Dr Vin Gupta on How To Stay Healthy in Trump's Summer of WTF. Every six months, Paul brings in a doctor the country can actually trust. This time it's Dr. Vin Gupta — pulmonologist, ICU physician, Air Force Reserve major, and one of the sharpest independent voices on public health in America. They open with the human cost of Trump's Iran policy as a third service member's death is confirmed, then move to the Pentagon, where Pete Hegseth is pushing blanket testosterone screening for men over 30 while simultaneously making flu vaccines optional. Gupta, who has spent fourteen years in military medicine, calls it what it is: culture-war medicine with no readiness justification, dressed up as toughness while units at Lackland get sidelined by preventable flu outbreaks. From there the conversation widens. Wildfire smoke is no longer a Western problem — over thirty states now see native wildfires in a given year, and New York skies look like Seattle's used to. Gupta lays out concrete, no-nonsense steps to protect your indoor air and your family's lungs while the federal government abdicates. They dig into the cyclospora outbreak tied to Taco Bell suppliers, why you can't trust the current FDA's messaging, and what to actually do if you or a loved one gets sick. It closes where the show always does — on hope, connection, and the small acts of vigilance that keep a family and a country whole. -WATCH full video of this episode here. -Millions of American veterans are being locked out of primary elections in the country they served.

This week, I'm sharing the story of how a simple conversation with a friend led Of the West to build a college internship program from the ground up for an agricultural business. What started as a solution to a seasonal hiring problem turned into a strategy that can help businesses attract top talent, develop future leaders, and strengthen their workforce for years to come.In this episode, we talk about why internship programs are often overlooked in agriculture and Western industries, what it actually takes to build one that qualifies for academic credit, and how shifting your mindset from "How do I stop this?" to "How do I make this work for me?" can create opportunities. If you're a business owner looking for better hiring solutions or thinking about the future of your operation, this episode is full of practical ideas you can put into action.Be sure to subscribe/follow the show so you never miss an episode!Connect with Jessie:Follow on Instagram @ofthewest.co and @mrsjjarvFollow on Facebook @jobsofthewestCheck out the Of The West websiteResources & Links:Email us at hello@ofthewest.coJoin The Directory Of The WestGet our FREE resource for Writing a Strong Job DescriptionGet our FREE resource for Making the Most of Your InternshipGet our FREE resource: 10 Resume Mistakes (and how to fix them)Get our FREE resource: How to Avoid the 7 Biggest Hiring Mistakes Employers MakeEmail us at hello@ofthewest.coSubscribe to Of The West's ⁠NewslettersList your jobs on ⁠Of The West

In this episode, Harmony sits down with Karina for a conversation about the wisdom that's been inside us all along. Karina explains why she never uses tarot to predict the future — instead, she reads the cards as mirrors for the archetypal patterns already shaping our lives. They talk about magnetic creation, the eight-year fear block that kept her new book on a shelf, and the Terma ritual she teaches for manifesting from alignment instead of force. Along the way, Karina does a live tarot reading on air, and the conversation turns to AI, synchronicity, and what it really means to trust your own inner guidance.

Ghost welcomes War Hamster Brady back to the Badlands for a deep dive into a name most people have never heard but probably should: Yevgeny Primakov. Political mentor to both Putin and Lavrov, Primakov drafted a doctrine in the 1990s that Brady argues is basically the blueprint for everything unfolding on the world stage right now. The two trace it all back to the fall of the Soviet Union, that famous "not one inch" NATO promise, oligarch chaos, and the long game of building a Eurasian counterweight to Western dollar dominance. Expect maps, a rescued 1997 Heritage Foundation article, a tour through reserve currency history from the Dutch Guilder to today, and a healthy dose of "how does the world actually work" energy. Heavy on geopolitics, light on hand waving. If you like your history with receipts and a few dots connected, this one delivers.

Guests in Londinium, 92 AD: Gaius and Germanicus. The Corruption of Hollywood and the Sacred Canon. Regarding the Hollywood remake of the Odyssey, Germanicus characterizes the production as a "Hail Mary" by a "cesspool of corruption" known as Hollywood to remain relevant while "hemorrhaging talent." He labels the film an "abomination" and a "short shrift" to a sacred work of literature. Despite this, he sees a "beacon of hope" in the possibility that the film's failure will drive the younger generation to seek out the original texts. He emphasizes that the Iliad and Odyssey were not "fantasy" but the civilizational canon of Greco-Roman antiquity, acting as "sacred works" that dictated how to live and think. Gaius notes that these epics were originally meant to be "chanted" or "sung" and that they traditionally ended with "calm after the violence" rather than mere spectacle. They conclude that Hollywood has "cheapened our sensibility" and "raped our legacy" by failing to respect these foundational pillars of Western identity. (3)

Tune into the highlights from Part 1 of Magic Maker Live with Emily Fletcher. 

The Roman Empire didn't really fall. It just changed its uniform.In September of 590, Rome was down to 30,000 people rattling around inside a city built for a million. The Lombards were at the gates. No army, no treasury, no functioning administration. Just one man — Gregory, the new pope — negotiating with the Lombards, feeding the city out of church granaries, and paying the soldiers with church silver. The Empire couldn't do any of it anymore. The Church could.That's the moment the transfer completes. Not through conquest or revolution — through vacancy. The Church had spent two centuries growing inside the Roman administrative apparatus: adopting the Roman geographic grid, seating bishops as civil judges, running the grain supply. When the political form gave out, the substance migrated to the institution still doing the work.This is Episode 5 of the "Life After the Fall of Rome" series — the capstone argument. The evidence is hiding in plain sight: Christian basilicas are literally repurposed Roman civic buildings. Church vocabulary (diocese, parish, pontiff, cardinal) is Roman administrative terminology. Western property law still runs on Justinian's Code. The Catholic Church is the longest-continuously-operating Roman institution on Earth.▶️ START HERE — Episode 1: "Rome Didn't Fall" https://youtu.be/iHvJUx1cNSQ?si=E2RiiMtquuar9N6t▶️ Full playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLtUC344qk-mpdez1lz7Gd6kLrhehvVX_E▶️ Vatican companion episode: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IdksZGOXVeY#FallOfRome #CatholicChurch #RomanEmpire #PopeGregory #ChurchHistory #TheRomanPatternCHAPTERS:00:00 Rome Didn't Fall — It Just Changed Its Uniform02:05 Rome Was Held Together by Administration, Not Armies05:35 313 AD: Constantine Integrates the Church07:40 The Church Adopts the Roman Grid09:02 Bishops Take Over Governance12:03 The Monasteries as Rome's Backup Drives14:53 Gregory the Great and the Lombards at the Gates (590)18:11 Why the Barbarian Kings Needed the Church23:09 The Evidence Hiding in Plain Sight24:33 Political Forms Change — Substance Migrates

Contributor; Taylor Lynch, MD Educational Pearls: Thoracotomy  Thoracotomy is used in traumatic cardiac arrest to replace conventional CPR with direct access to the chest. Goals include identifying and controlling reversible causes of bleeding, prioritizing blood flow to the heart and brain, and performing open cardiac massage. Trauma categories Penetrating trauma: Gunshot wounds and stab wounds. Has a higher chance of survival because the injury may be localized and directly repairable. Cardiac stab wounds may have the highest survivability because the defect can be visualized, repaired, and treated with blood administration. Blunt trauma: Motor vehicle collisions and falls from height. Has a much lower chance of survival. Western guidelines EMS must witness the patient lose pulses. Penetrating trauma: CPR for less than 15 minutes. Blunt trauma: CPR for less than 10 minutes. Survival decreases to essentially zero beyond these time limits. Eastern guidelines Focus on the presence of signs of life in blunt or penetrating trauma. Signs of life may include: Pupillary response. Measurable blood pressure. Purposeful movement. Patient selection Thoracotomy should only be performed when the patient has a reasonable chance of survival. It is a highly morbid procedure with significant occupational risks, including needlestick injury. Appropriate patient selection and timing are essential. Procedure Begin on the left side of the chest. Cross-clamp the aorta to restrict blood flow below the heart and prioritize circulation to the heart and brain. Identify and repair visible sources of bleeding involving structures such as the heart or lungs. Perform open cardiac massage as the equivalent of CPR. ACLS medications may still be administered.

In this episode of the Crazy Wisdom Podcast, host Stewart Alsop speaks with Aaron Neyer, founder of Parachute and community organizer in Boulder, about knowledge management, extended minds, and the intersection of AI with human consciousness. They explore how Parachute functions as a digital brain tool for organizing thoughts and information across fragmented systems, discuss the dangers of AI psychosis and over-reliance on technology, and debate open source AI development versus controlled releases by companies like Anthropic. The conversation weaves through topics including the limitations of metrics-driven business thinking, consciousness and relevance realization, the value of technological sabbaths, and Aaron's hope for locally-run open source models that protect personal data while still accessing more powerful gated models when needed.

The philosophy behind Parachute stems from Frank Zappa's quote that the mind is like a parachute and doesn't work if it isn't open. Aaron Neyer explains that having an open mind is valuable, but it must be balanced with deep roots to avoid becoming untethered. He has experienced periods in his life where excessive openness led him to feel disconnected, teaching him that creativity and expansion need to be grounded in something substantial. This same principle applies to how we organize information digitally, where openness and interoperability allow our extended minds to become more connected and coherent, which in turn helps our primary minds think more clearly.2. Parachute is designed as an extended mind tool that addresses the fragmentation problem in how we currently manage information. Most people use multiple disconnected tools like Obsidian, Notion, Apple Notes, Google Keep, and various CRMs to organize their thoughts, notes, and relationships. These systems don't communicate well with each other, creating inefficiency and confusion. Parachute aims to create a simple, intuitive system where all this information can be organized in one place with true interoperability, allowing users to own their data and have it speak effectively with other tools, ultimately making our entire extended mind more functional.3. Understanding ourselves as unified body mind organisms rather than fragmented parts is essential for effectiveness. Living systems theory shows that any living system is three things: a membrane bound dissipative structure, a self regulating autopoietic network, and a cognitive process actively knowing the world. Western civilization since Descartes and Galileo has created artificial separation between body and mind, and between subjective and objective experience, which limits our effectiveness. The same fragmentation affects our digital technology, and recognizing both our biological and digital systems as coherent wholes rather than disconnected parts makes us vastly more capable.4. The relationship between data driven approaches and holistic thinking reveals important limitations in modern business and science. While working at Google, Aaron observed how data driven decision making can be powerful, but over reliance on metrics like ROI creates blindness to crucial unmeasurable factors like goodwill and relationship quality. This reflects a broader Western tendency to exclude subjective experience because it's difficult for objective science to measure. However, emotions, relationships, and other subjective elements are essential parts of reality, and focusing only on quantifiable metrics means missing the whole picture and ultimately becoming less effective despite appearing more rational.5. AI accelerates the ability to work with technical complexity by helping with relevance realization across domains where we lack expertise. In any specialized field, experts develop intuitive senses for which variables matter and can quickly identify problems, whether in computer troubleshooting, music, or cooking. AI's ability to generalize allows it to point people toward relevant solutions in areas where they haven't developed that intuitive expertise, effectively democratizing technical capability. This means people can direct their creativity more effectively across more domains, though it also raises concerns about giving powerful capabilities to those who may lack the wisdom to use them responsibly.6. The question of open source AI versus gated access involves complex tradeoffs between democratizing power and preventing harm. Aaron respects Anthropic's approach of creating guardrails around powerful models like Mythos, which would likely have caused significant system hacks if released without restrictions. However, this creates concerning power dynamics where only wealthy companies, governments, and their allies have access to the most powerful tools. NVIDIA offers hope through their truly open source approach including full training pipelines, and there may be a viable path where open source models at the Sonnet capability level handle most tasks locally while more powerful Fable class models remain gated for the most demanding work.7. Creating intentional breaks from AI and technology is essential for maintaining clear independent thinking. Aaron practices an AI Sabbath at least one day per week when he doesn't interact with AI, and he finds these are the days when he does his best thinking and journaling. Without these breaks, he finds himself constantly jumping between journaling and prompting AI rather than giving himself space for deep reflection. This pattern mirrors broader concerns about AI consistency creating cult like dynamics similar to organized religion, where constant immersion in a belief system or technology can lead to losing the ability to think independently, making periodic disconnection crucial for maintaining cognitive autonomy and clarity.

The pervasive exhaustion resulting from witnessing modern global atrocities often creates a paralyzing "hopeRot," yet the cultivation of an radical "HopeCore" remains an essential engine for systemic transformation. Writer and curator, Shumon Basar, analyzes the rewiring of the global psyche through the rise of Gulf Futurism and the eventual arrival of a post-Western reality. His critique centers on the provincialization of the West, a phenomenon where a minority population disproportionately dictates universal narratives and conceptual models. The discussion further traverses the evolution of Dubai from a startup city to a global urban paradigm, alongside a sobering exploration of the war on amnesia", as Basar describes it, through alternative institutions and magical historical thinking. Ultimately, the conversation confronts the unmasking of power and the abandonment of institutional shame, reinforcing the vital necessity of counter-histories in an increasingly ahistorical digital age.   00:00 Introduction 04:36 The Rewiring of the Global Psyche 07:30 Spectral Enemies and the Geography of Time 10:08 Provincializing the West and Cognitive Mapping 16:13 The Foundational Myths of Unification 27:31 The Paradox of HopeRot and HopeCore 34:39 Absolute Impunity and the Narrative Battle 44:02 The Reckoning of Liberal Fascism 53:48 Alternative Institutions and the War on Amnesia 01:00:10 Magical Historical Thinking in the Extreme Present   Shumon Basar is a British-Bangladeshi writer, editor, and curator born in 1974.

Host Russell Thackeray welcomes Duncan Starr-Boltt, a Cambridge-based Brit who lives in Crete most of the year, and explores his journey from mechanical engineering into personal training, coaching, and running a CrossFit gym. Duncan describes intense fitness challenges (including a wall-ball world record of 452) and how proving fitness shaped his identity, later easing once he felt he'd proven it to himself. After becoming stressed running the gym, he found Western approaches ineffective and turned to Eastern ideas, emphasising “you are not the mind,” cultivating the observer through meditation and mindfulness, and focusing on feeling okay internally. He discusses the tension between goals and contentment, advocating goals for clarity without unhealthy drive, and shares his father's Maslow-inspired visualisation process that iteratively achieves goals to uncover deeper purpose. He also mentions his fictional book, "Seeking Sukha," about lasting happiness and peace, and how to find him online.00:00 Introductions00:37 From Engineer to Fitness Coach01:55 Gym Stress and Eastern Practices02:50 Forrest Gump Fitness Identity03:33 Chasing World Records06:06 Did Proving It Matter07:09 The Goal Behind Goals08:38 Goal Setting vs Discontentment11:08 Driven Energy and Satisfaction11:53 Why We Choose Unsatisfied12:48 Why We Tolerate Abuse13:38 Eastern Wisdom vs Western Fixes14:45 You Are Not The Mind17:08 Observer Mindfulness and Goals17:50 Purpose Beyond the Cave19:15 Vision Triangle Goal Process23:21 Identity and Future Self24:40 Seeking Sukha Book Story26:26 Audiobook Recording Realities26:53 Where to Find Duncan27:24 Final Reflections and GoodbyeYou can contact us at info@qedod.comResources can be found online or link to our website https://resilienceunravelled.com

This week, we're bringing you a double feature of Politicology+ special previews.  First, Ron Steslow talks with Mike Madrid about his invitation to debate at the Oxford Union, where he argued the position that Donald Trump has betrayed the conservative movement.  Mike describes the pageantry and weight of history at one of the world's most storied debating societies, the case he built around Edmund Burke, the opposing arguments he found most compelling.  Then, Hagar Chemali and Jay Solomon unpack how Qatar, a tiny Gulf nation with just 350,000 citizens, has built one of the most wide-reaching influence networks in the world. They start with a scandal involving Israeli columnist Alon Pinkas, who received Qatari-linked payments while writing about Qatar, and use it to trace the larger system behind it. From there, the conversation widens to Qatar's strategic investments and lobbying efforts across media, universities, think tanks, diplomacy, and politics. Then, they break down Qatar's long game: using money, access, and soft power to position itself as an indispensable player in the Middle East—and reshape Western institutions in the process.

Christopher Nolan's 'The Odyssey' is finally here, but how exactly has a 3,000-year-old story endured long enough to become the foundation of Western storytelling? Derek is joined by Karen Ní Mheallaigh, chair of Classics at Johns Hopkins University, to explore the mysterious origins of Homer's epic and the timeless themes that have captivated audiences for millennia. They discuss how 'The Odyssey' outlived thousands of other ancient poems, how its story of homecoming and hospitality shaped Western literature, and why filmmakers and creatives like Christopher Nolan keep returning to its core ideas.

Meet my friends, Clay Travis and Buck Sexton! If you love Verdict, the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show might also be in your audio wheelhouse. Politics, news analysis, and some pop culture and comedy thrown in too. Here’s a sample episode recapping four takeaways. Give the guys a listen and then follow and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts. Clay Travis and Buck Sexton discuss national policy and immigration enforcement, one of the dominant themes of Hour 1. Clay and Buck examined reports that ICE had briefly restricted certain traffic-stop enforcement tactics following recent confrontations involving illegal immigrants and federal agents. The hosts argued that such restrictions would undermine deportation efforts and create incentives for suspects to evade law enforcement. They praised President Donald Trump's decision to restore traffic-stop authority for immigration enforcement operations and discussed broader border security, deportation policy, illegal immigration, sanctuary politics, and growing tensions between federal immigration authorities and Democratic elected officials. The hosts also highlighted remarks from Border Czar Tom Homan, who warned that anti-ICE rhetoric could contribute to additional violence against federal agents. Tomi Lahren joins the program to discuss the growing political divide over masculinity, military readiness, and the Department of Defense's new testosterone screening initiative for service members. Lahren argued that Democrats continue to struggle connecting with male voters and discussed broader debates surrounding masculinity, cultural values, and political messaging. The discussion tied into ongoing conversations about military preparedness, physical fitness, and the role of strength and performance standards within the armed forces. Clay and Buck talk about White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt's return to the briefing room following maternity leave and her preview of President Donald Trump's highly anticipated primetime address. Clay and Buck analyzed Leavitt's comments suggesting the president would present significant evidence related to election security concerns and alleged foreign influence in previous elections. Both hosts argued that regardless of the evidence presented, major legacy media organizations would continue to dismiss or minimize Trump's claims due to longstanding opposition to the president. The discussion centered on media bias, election security, voter confidence, and the ongoing national debate surrounding election integrity reforms. A lengthy discussion examined the strategic dilemma facing the Trump administration regarding Iran. The hosts considered the effectiveness of sanctions, oil export restrictions, and military operations aimed at weakening the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). They debated whether military pressure alone can force regime change, how Iranian leadership calculates long-term risks differently than Western governments, and the limits of relying on internal uprisings to alter political outcomes. The conversation also touched on the role of Kurdish populations, the possibility of regional instability, and the geopolitical consequences of prolonged military confrontation in the Middle East.
