Conflicting theories about the origins of COVID-19 continue to make news, with U.S. politicians pushing for investigations into whether it originated from a lab in Wuhan, China. This week on Middle Theory, we lead off with our observance of Memorial Day and related news, which includes an analysis of a dispute that erupted between Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin and Texas Senator Ted Cruz. We also look at shootings that occurred over the holiday weekend, and how a seven-year-old boy managed to save his family by swimming for an hour. Then getting to the heart of the discussion, while U.S. politicians continue to press for investigations into the possible origin of COVID-19 at a virology lab in Wuhan, China, some scientists have raised objections to variations of the lab theory. We look at these theories and weigh the possibilities in terms of what scientists have had to say about the matter in recent days.

WHO ARE YOU? Who are you really? What does it take to really figure out who you are? Connecting with your soul, the true essence of you, requires willingly undergoing adversity. It takes pushing yourself to the point of wanting to quit, but burning the boats and finding a way to power through. Many people have experienced or will experience what it means to truly PUSH themselves while they're going after a massive goal that they have set out for themselves. But it’s not about hitting the goal. It’s about connecting with who you really are, becoming someone that is extraordinary, and making a habit of breaking past the physical and mental barriers that hold us back. Most people never actually go 100%. It’s impossible to go 100% all the time. Pushes are designed to be short bursts of going past what you thought was your version of going 100%. This week, Andrew and Luke discuss how you can use “push periods” to break through in any area of your life, and how you can start the journey of really figuring out who you are. Most of our society is considered “soft” because they’ve never willingly put themselves through the adversity that it takes to answer the question “who are you?” 00:19- Intro 08:00- What is a push? 13:00- Burn the boats mentality 16:00- Willingly enduring adversity 24:00- Why most people don’t really know who they are 28:00- Who are you? 32:00- Develop trust with yourself 39:00- How to set up your own push
