Lost Continent (MM #4615)
"I've always been fascinated with continents. In particular, how the world started out as one continent, Pangaea, and over the course of hundreds of millions of years split into the now, depending how you look at it, six or seven. It's all based on tectonic plates. But for a long time, scientists have been puzzled how Australia and Southeast Asia really fit together. Because when you start looking at the areas around Indonesia and the Philippines, it didn't make sense to where there was a fit. Well, it's taken them 155 million years to figure out there's a missing continent that they've now named Argo Land. And it's the continent that kind of gets shoved underneath Indonesia and underneath the Philippines, and it's kind of like buried and missing when all the plates started clashing together. This stuff is way above my knowledge of science, but it's fascinating to read and to try to understand just how this world has evolved over 300 million years. I can't even fathom it. But it's interesting to think another continent that's there, but isn't.

"My favorite population over the age of 60, that's pivoted at least twice in their career. You get to learn so much from them and you say, what made you decide to leave that industry job or to leave that factory job? A lot of times there's like a life inflection point, but sometimes they just made a conscious decision to it's time. It's not that something forced them, it's that they decided. And I wanna be the deciding factor in my life of what's to come and when to pivot. So I try and search out what are the characteristics that make that. You're the most decorated racquetball player in U.S. history. World's strongest man. From childhood passion to professional athlete. Eight time Ironman champion. So what was it like making your debut in the NHL? What is your biggest piece of advice for the next generation of athletes? From underdogs to national champions. This is the Athletes Podcast, where high performance individuals share their triumphs, defeats, and life lessons to educate, entertain, and inspire the next generation of athletes. Here we go. Yo, let's kickstart this conversation. Megan Young, thank you for coming on the Athletes Podcast. Cheers. Overdue, first of many conversations I'm sure. I first of all wanna ask how was your time down under? Oh yeah, I'd never been to Australia before and got asked to go down there to speak at the ASCA, which if you're a strength coach in America, there's like two organizations here in Australia. They have that one organization that a lot of their coaches go through accreditation process for. So I was very fortunate to get asked. Having never been to Australia, it's a great way to go when you're not flipping as much of the bill, so cheers. Amazing people, amazing conference. There's like what you think you know about a group and then, and you gotta remember, 96 Olympics were in Atlanta. Leading up to 2000, Australia invested so much money getting ready for Sydney to try and win as many gold medals as possible. So they had the Australian Sport Institute and that's where a lot of what we call now sports science, yes, it was already happening in labs elsewhere, but actual practical applied or performance science, sports science was happening. And so when people talk about it from a performance, it's like an Australian sports scientist, it's like, well, that could have been happening a lot further back than maybe what we know in America. So in elite sport very early on, so talk after 2000, there was an influx of these high level Australian sports scientists because there was so much investment into what they were doing leading up to the Olympics. So going there and seeing like, okay, what is this? And obviously that's 23 years ago. So now there's a much more level playing ground as far as knowledge transfer and the way we learn is so different now. But I was also on Gold Coast and it was summer there. So Seattle is kind of going into the gray days. So to get away for my birthday that happened to fall in that same week was awesome to spend time walking on the beach every day. Yeah, happy belated by the way, you crushed out like what? 2030 straight 5K rucks with go ruck. I was watching falling along. We were in Australia doing rucks while you were doing those here in Seattle, slightly warmer weather.

Like how dare you. This is the Blue Collar Bitcoin podcast a show where Average Joe firefighters explore the most important monetary technology of the 21st century. We talk Bitcoin, we talk finance, and we talk shit. Welcome to this week's semi the honor of speaking to Saifedean Amous.

Saif is the celebrated author of the Bitcoin Standard, everyone's go -to book for orange -pilling the uninitiated. Saif recently dropped his most recent book Principles of Economics. If you want to have a holistic understanding of the tenets of Austrian economics this is the book for you. We highly recommend it. In this chat we cover some ground, we slander dead economists and scientists, we steelman fiat money, we ruminate about what science actually is, we toss pejoratives at shitcoin bag holders, and we watch a full -blown takedown of modern art. We give Saif the opportunity to defend his stainless steel pans. Saif does not pull any punches in this episode whatsoever. Fast and Loose is our preferred modus operandi and Saif sent the this one.

Press Secretary Corrine Jean -Pierre told reporters Friday a ceasefire would only benefit Hamas at this time. The Biden administration, however, has pushed for temporary humanitarian pauses in the fighting to allow aid into Gaza and the release of the hostages. Gaza health officials say a large number of people were killed after Israel conducted an airstrike on an ambulance convoy. Brian Shook has more. The Israeli military confirmed they struck the ambulances on Friday, claiming they killed a number of Hamas terrorist operatives. The International Committee of the Red Cross says the convoy was planned with the Gaza Health Ministry and was being used to transport wounded people to more advanced medical facilities in Egypt. The leader of the World Health Organization said he was utterly shocked at the news and reiterated his call for a ceasefire. I'm Brian Shook.

Simply Bitcoin

"You It's all going to zero against Bitcoin. It's going up forever Against Bitcoin you're against freedom Yo, good morning everybody Welcome to simply Bitcoin is Friday, November 3rd in the year 2023 So you can tell from the title crazy crazy stuff happening everywhere today on the Twitter verse of course We will be covering Sam Beckman freed found guilty on all seven counts and of course you guys should know if you're if you're Usually talk about all corners again. It is still the very beginning of the YouTube show So we will use the nomenclature all corners for the time being because it waters down our message We don't ever really want to talk about all coins because we believe it is Bitcoin not all coins there is Bitcoin and then there's everything else and The point of this show is to try to separate Bitcoin from everything else But for better or worse guys, the average person has had SPF on their radar I even was telling rustin yesterday one of my friends. I haven't talked to him in a while. He Was asking me what I'm doing lately. I told him simply Bitcoin and His follow -up question was what is your thoughts on this SPF guy and I'm like, oh my goodness. Here we go My parents have been talking about him. Yeah, all the public media has been talking about him and Finally I guess justice may have caught up with him welcome to law SPF and You know, you can't just commit fraud out there in the name of all coins and and doing good by the people You know, it is what it is There are laws in this country and it seems that SPF has been found guilty on all seven counts We will be talking about that. We got a bunch of clips We will be kind of trolling it out a little bit as well Rustin's gonna give you guys all of the signal on that one in the new segment and in the numbers We were talking about it yesterday. We are seeing At the current stage of the Bitcoin bull market, maybe the end of the crab market the very end tail end of a bear market We're gonna cover for you guys where we are in the cycle and we got a solid clip from Michael sailor at his microstrategy earnings call Basically saying what we've been saying all year long here that people are looking for alternatives. We are seeing public consciousness raised Public attention raised in regards to Bitcoin and what that means moving forward So we'll be talking about that in the numbers and the culture I mentioned yesterday I saw this thread and I really enjoyed it and it was on black rock and Bitcoin So I'm gonna cover that I know we all have the view of F black rock Don't really like black rock obviously for obvious reasons, but I think They may be incentivized to play along with the rules I'm even gonna bring up the white paper and the incentives portion of the white paper which maybe Satoshi was right all along and this is why we are doing what we're doing because if black rock can take down Bitcoin Then what are we really doing here? And then actually actually before I move on I'm not sure if you guys saw this morning, but shouts out to our brothers over at Bitcoin magazine apparently the Federal Reserve is suing them for Basically making a parody t -shirt of the Fed now system and They are saying that they are infringing on their copyright. Absolutely incredible We do not want to associate ourselves with Fed now system and the boys over at Bitcoin magazine, I guess are over the target This is more Credence to the idea of then they fight you stage Absolutely incredible stuff. We will get into that a little bit at towards the end of the news segment, but welcome to simply Bitcoin We are your number one source for the peaceful back Bitcoin revolution We cover breaking news culture and of course mimetic warfare We bring on big corners from all around the world and the biggest names to the everyday big corner We got them all and we will be your guide through Separation of money and state of course. I'm not alone. I got my boy rust in here And I already know that we're gonna get a little crazy. This is the Friday show things should get a little Light -hearted. I I saw a little bit of what rustin has in store for you guys and just gonna forewarn you We will be giving you the signal but we are gonna troll it out a little bit. I'm gonna be honest Well, we're gonna work. Oh, yeah Today we're gonna Oh, I'm stoked up. I'm so stoked out there. You have to happy to be here We get a lot of good news, apparently maybe the system kind of works but not really So we'll dive into that and see what was left out of the trial and the charges. It's very interesting How the media treated this guy leading up to it all throughout the whole thing. They love this guy. He came out of nowhere He looked like he lived under an overpass and and then he was there darling I we got a very good clip of what what's his name? Oh leery what stop listening to these people? They are absolute morons and I think we're coming to a conclusion. Maybe the CDC will pick this up but maybe there may be a connection between degenerative mental illness and Prolonged use of shit coins. So we're gonna dive into that and see if we can get to Bottom of it and also we are way over the target Bitcoin news in the Fed now, we got some good nuggets for that, too Love to see it guys as we always say, you know, the coin is peaceful revolution and memes are artillery ridicule is a powerful tool in our toolbox and hey guys, it is working and Actually before we go in there It just it's absolutely incredible that people at the Federal Reserve Are are digesting Bitcoin content like we're winning absolutely winning so hard. It's incredible But I want to know how many of them have one of those shirts Actually talking with my boy Joe did not many have those shirts at all so Streisand effect in real time. We'll see. We'll see. Anyways guys. We got a lot to talk about. Let's get into this The Bitcoin numbers is your Bitcoin in cold storage really secure is your seed phrase Really secure stamp seeds do -it -yourself kit has everything you need to hammer your seed words into commercial grade Titanium plates instead of just writing them on paper Don't store your generational wealth on paper papers prone to water damage fire damage You want to put your generational wealth on one of the strongest metals on planet earth? titanium your words are actually stamped into this metal plate with this hammer and these letter stamps and once your words are in They aren't going anywhere. No risk of the plate breaking apart and pieces falling everywhere Titanium stamp seeds will survive nearly triple the heat produced by a house fire They're also crush proof waterproof non -corrosive and time proof all things that paper is not allowing you to huddle your Bitcoin with peace of Mind for the long haul stamp your seed on stamp seed Alright guys stand the QR code. Make sure your seed phrase is backed up It's not on a piece of paper in your sock drawer Get yourself a stamp seed kit and also actually actually before I forget guys we are so close to hitting our 21k subscriber a Threshold on YouTube. We will be doing a giveaway. I'm guessing probably live on Monday and the mega prize is a stamp seed Full kit we might even throw in a shirt or a hoodie in there. I don't know where work We'll talk about it over the weekend. But one of you guys in the chat that's been hanging out with us all year I wrote my list down you will be getting a stamp seed kit but for everyone else make sure you scan the QR code and you secure your seed phrase in something that will last the test of time anyways, let's get into the numbers guys because Got a lot of talk about anyways My favorite number the block height tick tock next block The only date that matters is the block height and we are currently at eight hundred and fifteen thousand one hundred and thirty -eight The current Bitcoin price is thirty four thousand seven hundred and thirty and actually little side tangent Rustin we got rug pulled yesterday with our clickbait title. Apparently the Bitcoin price dumped on us when we were like Yeah, Bitcoin totally trolled us yesterday. That is a hundred percent pain max pain in regard to the price Anyways, the current Moscow time aka what your Fiat dollars worth aka how much Bitcoin you can buy for a single dollar It's currently at two thousand eight hundred and seventy nine cents per dollar or for you bit maxis out there 287 bits the total percentage of Bitcoin that will ever be issued I repeat ever be issued until the end of time is currently at ninety three point zero one percent the market cap of Bitcoin in fiat terms is at 678 point four billion the realized monetary inflation taking fiat currencies to school is at one point seven four percent and that Will get cut in half it'll go down It's gonna go down in April roughly April the Bitcoin verse gold market cap. Is that five point eleven percent? Barely at five percent of the gold market cap and that is ten trillion dollars guys And you guys are you guys are bearish out there couldn't be me can't relate Anyways, the total public lightning capacity is at five thousand three hundred and six point nine nine BTC The hash rate the last 90 days is at four hundred and fifteen point four exit hatches the pending fees Wow Okay, yesterday was at one point nine today is at three point nine Oh for Bitcoin currently sitting in the mempool that Clark Moody dashboard is reading and then of course blocks to having We're at twenty four thousand eight hundred and sixty two and as of today the having estimate is the mean number April 20th 2024 let's let's hope we mean that into reality anyways guys As we were telling you yesterday We've been covering it constantly on this show the theme of You know yesterday we talked about the flight to quality. We talked about the bond market. We talked about inflation numbers we've talked about corporate press covering Bitcoin in favorable light or rather even in unfavorable light, but it does seem like we are crossing the Rubicon into mainstream consciousness and moving forward if you are in Financial markets financial media you will have to talk about Bitcoin and I say it all the time, you know Look, we're just youtubers. We're just Bitcoiners. We're just everyday Bitcoiners that happen to make a show We just cover what's going on in the world. So We realize that maybe what we say about Bitcoin doesn't hit as hard as when a billionaire rocket scientist Talks about the same things we're talking about or rather maybe we need to wear suits So we seem like we're more authority figures or maybe one day we'll be on the television and then now that will give us some Sense of legitimacy. But anyways, this is another simply Bitcoin. I told you so moment and Sailor is just saying everything we've been saying forever on the show Anyways, you can see this tweet by a swan it goes Michael sailors bullish mainstream awareness seems to be reaching new heights of Bitcoin And this is from today's micro strategy earnings call. So we got a short clip We'll talk about it and then we will move on into the news, but check this out He's saying what we say all the time guys. Love to see it. We're winning constantly winning. So Tune in strap up. It's gonna be a great bull run mainstream awareness Seems to be reaching new heights for Bitcoin we have We have the likes of Larry Fink Referring to it as a flight quality we have Druckenmiller noting that it's a legitimate asset embraced by an entire generation and Lamenting that he doesn't own more of it or own it We have Muhammad al -aryan on television noting that Bitcoin is being viewed now as a safe haven asset We have a lot of coverage of Bitcoin in television On television networks news networks and also through mainstream media that should continue to grow as that coverage increases that combined with increasing availability of Wall Street analyst coverage and new voices emerging in the community like like fidelity with their analysis of Bitcoin all of those new voices and new interest is Driving of education a new generation of investors I think we can expect more of that during the coming 12 months and All of these things together just create a virtual cycle and as they drive Bitcoin awareness they should drive Bitcoin investment and that should drive more news and that should drive more awareness and that should catalyze more and more firms to take an interest in supporting Bitcoin or investing in Bitcoin and Absolutely love to hear it and and remember guys I'm I just thought of this as we were live because I've been using this chart a lot again I'm over here at nakamoto Institute org chefs at the pierre Richard.
Crypto Critics' Corner
A highlight from It's so over: Sam Bankman-Fried testifies (feat. Sam Kessler)
"Welcome back, everyone. I am Cas Pianci, and I'm joined as usual by my partner in crime, Mr. Bennett Tomlin. How are you today? I'm doing well. How are you, Cas? Fine. We're joined by a special guest who has been at the courthouse in some way, shape, or form the past week going and watching the Sam Bankman Freed trial, Sam Kessler from CoinDesk. How are you? Hello. Hello. Long time. First time. This is pretty cool. Thanks, Cas, and Bennett. We haven't recorded since any of the defense's witnesses have taken the stand, so I wanted to get us kicked off with those individuals, if we could, and what they were supposed to accomplish for the defense. We were talking about the, I guess it was the data scientist guy? Joseph Pimbley. So there was him and Crystal Roll, who's a Bohemian attorney who worked for, works for Sam. Yeah. Well, let's start with Pimbley, because it sounds boring in terms of what he was sent there to accomplish. Actually, can you explain what his goal was for the defense? Sounds boring, and it was boring remarkably compared to the rest of this trial, but essentially Pimbley is a data analyst who was hired on the behalf of Sam's team to come in and assemble some documents that show, I mean, it's hard to know exactly how they plan to use these document or these data, but essentially charts showing that Alameda liquidity and FTX liquidity was at a certain level over the course of 2021 through 2022, the fall of the exchange, that makes it look like there was more money on hand than what prosecutors would probably allege. Yeah, and we were all just kind of stunned at the prices this guy was able to get from essentially the Bankman -Fried family, I would assume that that's who's ultimately paying this man's bills. He did 73 hours of work or something and got paid $50 ,000, which is, I think all of us are kind of just wishing we had rates like that. Unfortunately, it sounds like he didn't help win any hearts or minds in terms of people there or the jury, I would presume. Yeah, I mean, it's hard to get into the mind of the jury, but I mean, the way that this went was essentially he presented these documents and then the prosecution came up and the main, I guess, thrust of the prosecution's questions or if you want to call it argument to the jury with their questions to Pimley was essentially, hey, where did these numbers come from? Oh, they came from Sam and his lawyers. So the database that you based all of your analysis on came directly from the client. Then there were several more questions after that and I think they actually belabored that too much and might have actually lost some sway with the jury as a result of that extensive questioning. I know the second one was you mentioned Christina Rolle. No, so it's funny. You said Christina Rolle. There is a Christina Rolle and there is no relation and there was a point made. Please. Yeah, go ahead. What was that point? Because that was what I was going to say too. What was the point that was made in court? So Christina Rolle is a very important Bahamian regulator kind of behind the country's embrace of crypto and Crystal Rolle is a unrelated, which she made very clear because Rolle in her telling is a very common name there, she is an unrelated lawyer who works for Sam and accompanied him when he talked to the Securities Commission of the Bahamas, if I'm getting the name of the agency correctly. Yeah. And just to add some color to what you just said is that from what I heard, Rolle is actually the most common Bahamian surname out there, like the first or second most common Bahamian surname and which like I'm, I don't know. That's just all of these weird little things that I'm fascinated by. There were three Rolle's in her testimony alone that she had to distinguish. So I heard that that also was a pretty unsuccessful defense tactic in so far as her role in all of this was only post -collapse, which kind of negates a bit of what she's saying and why it matters. Can you expand on that for me? I mean, with a lot of this stuff, they're asking a lot of questions that are they being lawyers from both sides that can seem disjointed and sometimes it's because they want to enter things into the record, sometimes it's because they want to tee up other questions that they're going to ask Sam during his testimony, which we'll talk about in a little bit. And I think that her main goal was to corroborate the timeline and substance of his meetings with Bahamian regulators. One kind of contentious thing is just that, you know, Sam essentially froze a bunch of money or took a bunch of frozen money and gave it to, you know, the Bahamas in a very, you know, bad summary of how that worked. But, you know, it can seem like a sort of cynical thing that he was willing to kind of kowtow to the Bahamians in order to, in the view of prosecutors, I'm sure get preferential treatment there. But I think part of her goal, Crystal Rolle's goal with her testimony was to kind of communicate, hey, if he didn't do these things that the Bahamas wanted him to do, he would have gone to prison or faced severe penalties. I mean, that gets us through the first the first expert witnesses. Do you have any more questions about them Bennett? No, my first questions start on Bankman -Fried. Then let's jump into the the weird circumstances of you called it a mock trial. I mean, I, I guess I don't really it's all on record still, but it is without a jury present and everyone seemed a little stunned by that. Essentially without going into the legal details, because, A, nobody wants to get super deep into that and B, I don't understand it as a journalist, not a lawyer.
Crypto Altruism Podcast
A highlight from Episode 126 - Cerebrum DAO - Decentralized funding of brain health research
"I view it as a way to create a global network of brain health enthusiasts and those affected by neurodegenerative diseases to kind of change the game. We need to do things differently than we have in the past. And I think tokens and crypto networks are just absolutely fascinating ways when properly designed to coordinate people, talent really, and capital globally to go after common missions. Welcome to the Crypto Altruism Podcast, the podcast dedicated to elevating the stories of those using Web3 for good. I'm your host Drew Simon from CryptoAltruism .org. Now, before we get started, a quick disclaimer. While we may discuss specific Web3 projects or cryptocurrencies on this podcast, please do not take any of this as investment advice and please make sure to do your own research on investment opportunities or any opportunity, including its legality. And now, let's get on to the show. Welcome and thanks so much for joining. Brain health and neurodegeneration are some of the most pressing medical challenges of our time. Neurodegenerative disease impacts millions every year and at this time lacks sufficient therapeutic treatments, especially for a problem of this magnitude. As a society, we need to rethink how we approach the most pressing scientific questions, including how we organize capital and talent to address them and fuel the next wave of scientific discovery. To dive into this, I'm excited to welcome Brian Magierski, founder of Cerebrum Tao, an open global community collectively sourcing, brainstorming, and funding solutions to advance brain health and prevent neurodegeneration. We discuss how Web3 tools can help advance vital brain health research, using Tao architecture to coordinate capital and the community, how the decentralized science movement can empower scientists and much more. So without further ado, please join me in welcoming Brian to the Crypto Altruism podcast. Brian, thank you so much for being here today on the Crypto Altruism podcast. It is a pleasure to have you. How are you doing today? I'm doing well, Drew. Thanks. Excited to be here. Yeah, a lot's going on with you right now, I understand. And with Cerebrum Tao, which I'm excited to talk about, you've been traveling a lot. I saw you're at D -Cyberlin. So I'm excited to dive in all that. But before we get there, I want to hear your story. Do you mind just giving a little bit of an introduction to yourself and what your aha moment was that got you excited about Crypto and Web3 in the beginning? Yeah, absolutely. So yeah, Brian Magierski. I've been a serial entrepreneur for over 20 years now, mostly out of Austin, Texas, and started three different companies, mostly in the enterprise software B2B space, Web1, Web2, and mobile apps, serving enterprises and helping them be more efficient. And now just really full on and been obsessed for the past three, four years, based out of Zurich, Switzerland, and focused on brain health, pretty broadly, and a number of reasons for that, which we can get into. I've been in and out of crypto. It's funny, I got into crypto back in 2014. A friend of mine, a fellow entrepreneur, was into Bitcoin at the time. And so we just started brainstorming that. So I played around with it in 2014, was intrigued, but couldn't figure out what to do with Bitcoin. So I took a pause, and I ended up coming back into it around 2017, when Ethereum was kind of gaining momentum, and you could program it. And I was like, Okay, this is more interesting. Now you can actually build something on this. And dug in, went through the ICO phase. And then I had a fork in the road that got me obsessed about focusing on brain health. And ever since then, I've been looking at how do I leverage crypto networks and crypto assets in a way that can solve the problems I'm trying to solve in the brain health field. Yeah, yeah, definitely. And we'll dive into that, for sure, in terms of the story behind your interest in brain health, and why the focus on this fascinating area. But before you do that, do you mind giving listeners just a high -level overview of the mission of CerebrumDAO? Yeah, absolutely. So CerebrumDAO is on a mission to accelerate solutions and cures to neurodegeneration and overall brain health, advancing brain health. I view it as a way to create a global network of brain health enthusiasts and those affected by neurodegenerative diseases to kind of change the game. And by changing the game, it's a recognition of the fact that neurodegeneration and dementia in particular is the only major disease category that has had no effective FDA -approved therapeutic until recently, and now has had no FDA -approved therapeutic until recently, and still has no effective FDA -approved therapeutic. And we have an epidemic. We have an epidemic that's growing. We're going to quadruple the number of people with Alzheimer's dementia by 2050. It's affecting tens of millions of people, and it's unfortunately a disease that affects an entire family and friend network when it happens. And we need to do things differently than we have in the past, and I think tokens and crypto networks are just absolutely fascinating ways when properly designed to coordinate people, talent really, and capital globally to go after common missions. And this is a global mission. It affects all of us, and I think that that's what we can do with this. So that is our mission. It's pretty ambitious, and it's pretty big, but it's necessary. Yeah, yeah, definitely. For sure. Well, thank you for sharing that. You shared some information on the challenges that exist around brain health and longevity and the broad impacts that it has on just so many people, right? It's such a wide -reaching challenge faced by many, and I want to know about your why now. Why the focus on this area? Obviously, there's the importance of it worldwide. It's a really big challenge that's affecting every nation, every family probably in one way or another, but why the focus on brain health and longevity? Why is this important to you? Yeah, it started about four years ago for me, and it's tied to my youngest daughter, and she's now 12, at the time eight, and she was born 12 years ago with Down syndrome. And what we recognized, my wife and I recognized when she was born, as we looked at Down syndrome and tried to prepare for what we need to do to support her in her life, one of the things that jumped out at me was people with Down syndrome are 100 % susceptible to early onset Alzheimer's disease. And so you have a situation with people with Down syndrome that they're living longer lives now, so many of the life expectancy kind of extends into late 50s into the 60s now for people with Down syndrome. But what we've discovered is that early onset Alzheimer's is what's killing them, and it's an incurable condition, and they're all going to get it. So in many ways, there are kind of canaries in the coal mine for this condition to be able to study it, because anybody with Down syndrome you're looking at is somewhere on the pathway to getting Alzheimer's dementia. And so that was frightening, given the history of Alzheimer's and giving the status of no therapeutics and no immediate one on the horizon.
Food Addiction, the Problem and the Solution
The Neuroscience Behind Food Addiction With Dr. Susan Peirce Thompson
"Well, let's talk about the neuroscience of food addiction. We're going to talk about the DSM -5 and the food industry. You are a PhD, the neuroscience of food addiction. You say, our global diet has changed and elevating insulin levels far beyond where our bodies were intended to idle. And you talk about insulin. Now, we eat, you know, a half a box of cookies, blood sugar goes up, insulin kicks in, and you say insulin is blocking leptin, which is the, what, satiation hormone that's released. So, and this is the important thing here that I think is it's different than food addiction, if I understand the science here, and I'm not a scientist, is that you eat sugar, insulin levels come in, you know, so you're eating too much sugar, and then insulin blocks leptin. So, that is different than the dopamine response, which we'll talk about. That's different than addiction, right? Yes, it is. So, leptin resistance is essentially the crux of obesity and weight gain. It's when your brain has lost touch with the circuitry that would keep your weight in balance. The circuitry that keeps your weight in balance is leptin. What happens is fat cells get fatter and they release more leptin, and the leptin comes back and tells the brain, hey, no need to eat so much anymore because we've got extra fat on us. Now, it's time to use that fuel to go find a mate, you know, build a hut, kill a wildebeest so we'll have food, you know, next week. And if the brain can't see leptin, the fat cells get fatter, they release all this leptin, but the brain doesn't see it. Now, we've got a problem. We keep getting fatter. The brain thinks we're starving. It can't see any leptin. It thinks we're emaciated. That's leptin resistance. And it's not just elevated insulin that causes it. Since my first book was published, more research has been done on leptin resistance, and it turns out high triglycerides block leptin, and so does high inflammation in the hypothalamus. So it doesn't matter really because for our purposes, basically stopping eating sugar and flour and eating absently or the bright line way will solve all of that anyway. So it's the same solution. Yeah, it does. I was a diabetic before I came in here and I'm not now because of my diet. But the interesting part of this is you could have some fours, threes and fours on the susceptibility scale that are dealing with this, that their leptin is not kicking in, right? And they're not food addicts. Is that true? Well, some of the features of food addiction would be caused by leptin resistance. So eating more than you intended to eat, not feeling satisfied by a normal amount of food, those are all signs of leptin resistance. And so some of the aspects, feeling out of control over how much you eat once you start to eat, that's all leptin resistance. So some of that, I don't think someone with severe leptin resistance would be a four. Okay. Talk about dopamine in addicts and what happens in the brain with dopamine and the downregulation of dopamine. I thought that was interesting. Yeah, totally. So the addiction centers in the brain really are there as circuitry that makes sure that we get more of what's important to survive, what really matters to an organism, sex, food, those things, right? So that circuitry releases dopamine when we search and find, both the searching and the finding, release dopamine. It's not pleasure. Get that out of seeking, finding, wanting to do more of that. And when a big reward gets found, a big rush of dopamine gets released. And there are certain stimuli that release unnatural amounts of dopamine. You could not generate them in the wild. Sugar, like a donut is such a thing at any of the ultra processed foods, really. I mean, a Ritz cracker will do it. And also like pornography, right? A level of sexual stimulation that you just could not find in the wild. And so this flood of dopamine goes in and the circuitry up there, first of all, goes, whoa. And it then remembers like, what were the cues that predicted that reward? It starts to lay fiber tracks around those cues to notice them and it also starts to thin out the dopamine receptors so that it doesn't have to be so overridden by that flood next time. And so if you keep going, you now thin out the dopamine receptors to the point where at baseline, if you're not eating cookies and watching pornography, you now feel restless, irritable, and discontent. You feel itchy. You feel bleak. I see it in people's stare at me like I've just told them that I'm going to kill their dog or something. And I know that's dopamine downregulation, right? They're thinking, I can't live without sugar and flour. And the good news is, give it just even two weeks and you'll start to feel a lot better, even a week. The receptors heal pretty fast.
The Eric Metaxas Show
A highlight from Dinesh D'Souza
"Ladies and gentlemen, looking for something new and original, something unique and without equal. Look no further. Here comes the one and only Eric Metaxas. Folks, welcome to the program. If you have followed my career, and who hasn't, you know that I'm interested in the miraculous. I've written a book called miracles. We do miracle Mondays on this program, not every week, but anyone who has any curiosity about life, anyone who has any intellectual integrity, and that's not that many people, but anyone in that category is interested in whether this is all there is, or whether there is something beyond this world. And anytime I get to talk to somebody about that, I'm a happy guy, which is to say I'm a happy guy right now, because I have the producer of a film all about this. It's called after death. And his name is Jason Palmer. Jason, welcome. Thanks for having me, Eric. Look, this is a big deal. You've made a feature film about people who have experienced things they claim after death, and turns out, it's real, but we don't want to spoil it. Where do you come from in life that you decide to do a feature film interviewing people, some of whom actually I have interviewed a number of the folks you've interviewed, I've interviewed on this program over the years, but how did you get to a place where you wanted to make a film about this? Because in my mind, it's about time, I'm really happy that you did this. I'm grateful for you saying that, may I just say upfront that it's one thing to make a film, it is a more difficult thing to release and market and find an audience. And without shows like yours and voices like yours in the marketplace, it would be impossible. So we're incredibly grateful to be with you today. You know, the directors sent us a short film that they had produced. And for all young version filmmakers out there, if you're trying to get your thing made, send something that the producers can see. And they sent a short film that was so compelling. It was a short on one of the stories that made its way into the feature on Captain Dale Black, who crashed into a 70 foot tower at 135 miles per hour, and his two co -pilots died. And he had this crazy out of body experience. So I grew up with a faith that told me that there is an afterlife. But if someone would have said, hey, I just died, and I experienced it, I'd be like, Oh, okay, sure. So I would have been skeptical on the people's recounting of their experiences, even though my faith told me that, yeah, there is something. And this film, you know, we deep dive into 14 near death experience stories through the eyes of researchers and oncologists and cardiologists and scientists. And coming out of the film, I'm like, man, heaven is for real.
Game of Crimes
A highlight from 121: Part 1: Mike Fredericks Hunts Cartel Bosses and Survives a Terrorist Attack
"Hey, hey, hey, you big players out there. It is us again, Morgan and Murph, coming back to you with episode 121. Can you believe that Murph? 121 episodes. It seems like just last week we were doing episode 120. You know, and the week before that, 119. I mean, how time flies, you know? Not sure how we're getting all these in to be quite honest with you with our travel schedules lately, but hey, we're getting them in. And we're doing some of these on Sunday, you know, at the last minute, but we're doing our best because we still have a case of the month for Patreon to record. But anyway, I digress. Thank you guys. Welcome to Game of Crimes. I'm Morgan Wright, literally here with my partner in crime, the Murpharoni, the Murph man, the Murph. Hey everybody, Steve Murphy here. How do we know? You know, after our interview, which is going to come out with Mike Fredericks, nobody remembers you in Miami. Well, these old farts. I mean, that's, but you know what? I mean, that's what it is. When you're the new guy, when you're the rookie, you know, you get to meet all these stars and these legends, and they've been in the job for quite some time. As you're going to hear about Mike, man, he's, he's got an exciting past, but, and then they move on with their careers. They're already moving up before, and as I'm just getting started, so you understand why, you know, oh yeah, I'm at that rookie. No, how did I really meet that guy? Well, you know, the good news is if they remembered your name, it's usually for the wrong reasons, not for the right reasons. You know what? That's what we say at DEA. We always remember people for the bad things they did, not the good things. Well, so no hard feelings here. Yeah. Well, speaking of the good things we did, we got some good things to do for you first, but before we can get there, let's get into some housekeeping. Apple Spotify, hit those five stars, folks. It helps us a lot. In fact, even on Spotify, you've got the ability to leave comments if you didn't know that on the episode. So let us know what you think of those, but the five stars really help us out. We really appreciate it. Also, head on over to our website, gamercrimespodcast .com. You will see the book for our latest guest that is going to be on there, and we'll talk about that during our interview. Also, our, all the other things that are there, the episode descriptions, pictures, some really neat stuff. In fact, you got to see the picture of Mike Fredericks that I used for this episode. Yes. I haven't seen it yet. It goes right in with what we're going to talk about. Hey, also follow us on that thing they call social media, Game of Crimes on Twitter, Game of Crimes podcast on Facebook and the Instagram, but where you got to be, Murph, where you got to be? You got to be on patreon .com slash gamercrimes. One of the reasons is we're getting ready to do our case of the month. We've got some interesting things. In fact, one of the cases you're going to talk about happened where my daughter lives. She lives in that county. Oh, geez. Yeah, so we're actually on the phone with her talking about that this morning, just making sure everything's okay. We've got 911, which emergency, we've got Murph's second attempt to come up with a decent movie to review for the narcometer. He gets one more shot, and then he's never allowed to touch the keyboard again for movies. We'll see how it goes. So, but guys, we got a ton of good stuff on there. Like I said, you know, our Q &A, You Can't Make This Shit Up. We got some stuff for You Can't Make This Shit Up this next time. Murph, I've been saving some stories. I've found some stuff. Anything from Florida? Oh, there's always something from Florida. Are you kidding me? Again, we like to be the leader, not the follower. Well, you are leading in this category. In fact, there's no such thing as Kansas Man or Texas Man, but there's Florida Man. Yeah, baby. That's it. That's us. So head on over to patreon .com slash gamercrimes. And also, before we get started, you got to head on over, join up with our favorite mafia queen, Sandy Salvato, the iron fist with the velvet glove, who rules all things that are called Game of Crimes fans. Just go to facebook .com, type in Game of Crimes fans, ask, answer a couple questions, and you get admitted into the inner sanctum, where all sorts of things go on that we can't disclose, because we're all under a non -disclosure agreement enforced by the queen herself. There's hundreds and hundreds of people in there. Come and join them. I mean, there's some funny stuff that goes on in there. And some some real serious stuff. I've referred several people for mental health counseling after some of the stuff they've posted. Yes, that was me who did that, folks. Was I on that list? Murphy, you're constantly on that list. I just don't take you off of it. I don't. I want that number one spot, though. Well, you can be a leader or follower, Murphy or leader. That's right. Hey, but before we get into talking about all the other stuff, you know, there's times of days, there's there's times of the season. And there's the time in our episode in our podcast when I have to ask you, do you know what time it is, Murph? Do you know what time it is? I'm going to ask you one more time. Guess what time it is? I think I know what time it is. It's time for Small Town Police Bladder. That's the theme from the Wild West, which will factor into one of our episodes. There you go. Coming up. All right. Murph, do you know where Miami Gardens is? Yes, I do. Don Shula has a restaurant there. Well, Don should never hire this next guy. You know, Murph, a lot of people go to great lengths to disguise themselves to commit crimes. We've talked about people who've dressed up as clowns, which is easy to spot. What do you look like? It's the only dude dressed like a frickin' clown, man. Just, you know, people have drawn permanent markers on their face. Well, have you ever heard of a guy that put a box on his head? No. Well, this this rocket scientist did, he broke in to a phone repair store in Miami Gardens at four in the morning. He was committing a burglary. Pro tip for you writers out there, my biggest pet peeve, do not call it a robber. You cannot rob a store. You can burgle a store. You rob people. So he broke into the iRepair tech shop located at 4500 NW 183rd in Miami Gardens. And he had a box on his head. Well, because he wanted to disguise his face. But you know, there's one problem with the box. Unless you cut holes in it to see. You can't see. So to see what he was doing, he took the box off of his head and just happened to be looking up at the camera. And then he put the box back on his head. Well, now the owner of the store rightly assumed that this guy was not the brightest bulb in the pack. And so he decided to go around the neighborhood and say, hey, here's this face. If you see him, let me know. And guess what? They found him drinking with his friends at the nearby liquor store. I guess he couldn't find the hat. No, anything but a box anyway. But he was charged with grand theft, burglary, criminal mischief, cocaine possession and resisting an officer without violence. According to the police, he stole 19 phones and $8 ,000 in cash, a total of $15 ,000. And where did he go? Blow it on. Blow it on. Coke. Booze. Booze and Coke. But no math. No math. Not yet. Not yet anyway. Not yet anyway. Don't do math. Murphy, you know, let's, you know, in our next story, this one comes to us out of Clay County, Missouri. Now, Clay County is over up by Kansas City, Missouri area. For you folks, pro tip, there are two Kansas cities, Kansas City, Kansas and Kansas City, Missouri. So don't assume. Always ask before you say, oh, Kansas City, Missouri? Okay, no. Could be Kansas. As if it's not confusing enough to start with. Yeah, but this one comes from Clay County, Missouri. Now, Murph, if you remember back in your days when you used to be a real cop, Krusty Krab, West Virginia, and you were driving down the road, you guys didn't have personalized tags at that time in West Virginia, did you? Not that I remember. But if you'd been driving down the road and you saw a personalized tag that said, We High.
The Charlie Kirk Show
A highlight from Three Lessons from the Book of Exodus: Charlie's Speech to Colorado Christian Academy
"I want to thank Charlie. He's an incredible guy. His spirit, his love of this country. He's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created. Turning Point USA. We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country. That's why we are here. Brought to you by the loan experts I trust, Andrew and Todd at Sierra Pacific Mortgage at andrewandtodd .com. Thank you, everybody. Thank you. Okay, please take a seat. I'm going to close this. Okay, so I want to get to question and answer because I think that's actually the most fun, and I have a feeling there's a lot of questions. There's a lot I could talk about. First, I just want to say there's something really exciting happening in the country where I'm getting invited to speak at schools like this all across the country that didn't exist a decade ago, where parents are starting to rise up and start new communities and start new schools. This is exactly what is necessary in the country right now. Because there if is a woke private school and a failed public school, just start a new school. And we are really good at starting new things. We're really bad at preserving our things from getting captured and infiltrated. That's a separate issue. They're experts at infiltration, experts at destabilization. But I just want to compliment and commend the whole team here. Think really big because the demand is greater than you could ever imagine. I Colorado. love I hate what these people have done to it. And you have to think multigenerationally. You really do. And that's why this effort is so incredibly important. And you have no idea the child that you might be helping educate at Colorado Christian, the impact that they might make. You have no idea if they might be a changemaker, an entrepreneur, a senator, a congressman, something beyond your wildest imagination. Or the most important thing, a loyal husband and wife and someone who loves the Lord, honestly, even beyond a massive changemaker. So I'm going to actually talk about my favorite book of the Bible. I don't think you'll really guess it. It's funny. I love the word and I love what it does to you through different walks of life. And because I'm a glutton for punishment, I've decided to go through the first five books of the Bible in original Hebrew and go verse by verse. If you want a really big challenge, do that. Just finished Leviticus. That's no fun at all. It's unbelievably awesome as a Christian to read Leviticus for many different reasons. And it's amazing. But my favorite book of the Bible is the book of Exodus. And it's not quoted enough or understood enough. And I really think that there's more parallels for what we're living through right now in the book of Exodus than almost any other part of the word. I And so was studying and studying Exodus and so much pops out. So I'm going to go three lessons that I think we as believers, we as patriots, can derive from the book of Exodus. And some you say, OK, I've heard that one before. But I guarantee you I'm going to isolate a verse that you've probably never heard any pastor ever isolate. It's just kind of what I call a flyover verse. You know what I'm talking about? Where you just kind of skim. You're like, OK, let's go. You know, it's like the verse before John 3 16, John 3 15 and John 3 17. Does anyone know those? Probably not. Well, maybe in this room. But very few people do, right? It's a flyover verse. So it's first important to remember Exodus in Greek means the way out. Ex hodos, right? And the actual labeling of the verse is Israelites oppressed or the captivity in Egypt. The whole Old Testament, the first five books of the Bible of the word of God is centered around Egypt. Egypt is actually the villain of the Torah. Egypt is tyranny. Egypt is authoritarianism. Egypt is paganism. Egypt is godlessness. Egypt is one size fits all rule. Said differently, Egypt is the Biden administration. And so now if I offended you, you're in the wrong dinner. I'm sorry. Like so and the whole Bible is written even in Genesis. It's written as a refutation of Egypt. And if you know anything, devout Jews will tell you that the Exodus is the most important thing. Creation and Exodus are the two most important parts of Jewish life, right? Whether it be the Passover Seder, whether it be the Shema, whatever it is, Egypt is the whole ballgame, right? And like remember how we were delivered from Egypt and I'll dive into that. So there's this amazing thing and you remember the end of Genesis, right? Joseph does this remarkable stuff. He doesn't do it. God doesn't through Joseph and he's just a messenger. And he basically saves Egypt from famine and from starvation and saves the whole civilization, right? And the first chapter of Exodus sets up the whole, it's what I call the turning point chapter and we're living through this right now in America. And this is why Christian education is so important and why supporting this academy is so important. And it's a verse that you would just kind of read over and like, okay, yeah, whatever. Then rose a king over Egypt who did not know Joseph. Okay, Charlie, what's the big deal? That's exactly what's happening on university campuses across the country. Then rose a generation that did not know George Washington. Then rose a generation who did not know Abraham Lincoln. You get tyranny when you forget the sacrifices that were made before you. You get tyranny when you don't know your history. Right there, the entire book of Exodus gets set up. So here's Joseph that through God saves them from famine, saves them from starvation. The Egyptians should have statues made to Joseph. They should have songs made to Joseph. But all it took was one king who didn't have the memory of what Joseph did before. And then what happens? That king rises and everything changes. He says, who are these Israelites? They multiply like insects. Let's get rid of these guys. If you fail to pass down your values from one generation to the other, you can quickly all of a sudden get authoritarianism, tyranny, murder, genocide very, very quickly. It can happen in one generation. And I don't think we as Christians isolate this teaching enough because we act as if it happens automatically sometimes. Like, oh, I can send my kid to government school and they'll still share my values. You know, we go to church once a quarter and, you know, we listen to Christian music, you know, every so often and, you know, like through osmosis. And even in the cocktail reception, people come up to me and they say, Charlie, how am I supposed to deal with kids that don't share my values? How did this happen? And my question is always the same. You know, what college did they go to? Always. And in this case, it was Northwestern in Michigan, right? So nice selections. But again, I'm not picking on you guys. It's a very sweet couple. But it was just stood out, right? And you're here tonight because you want your children to share your values, that you want your children to live in liberty. And so that verse right there should be our mission statement. We never want to have a king or a sovereign, the people, ever not know the sacrifices that were made before. When I visit college campuses, and I visit college campuses so you don't have to, I am told, Charlie, the founders were a bunch of racist old dead white guys. We're a colonistic, colonialistic, misogynistic, homophobic, terrible country. That's a generation that did not know Joseph. So then all of a sudden they have a willingness and openness for tyranny, for totalitarianism, authoritarianism, because that is actually how we are naturally programmed. I actually didn't plan to talk about this, but it's just a little bit of a side note. The human being wants to be taken care of far more than they want to be free. Freedom is a value. You naturally do not want to be free. And if you disagree, you are not paying attention during COVID. People that were otherwise some of the most rational people that I knew lost their bloody mind masks wearing in a car alone because they wanted to be told what to do. Freedom requires risk. You cannot be free without chance. You can't have both. If you want to have everything taken care of, go commit a federal crime, or just become a conservative, because inevitably you'll end up in federal prison, and then you'll go to jail. There's no freedom, but there is assuredness at prison. Three meals a day, bunk you don't have to pay for, you don't have to work for what you get. Prison is the opposite of freedom. And so here's the Israelites that are living in total totalitarianism because a king came who did not know what the previous generation did. The next verse, Exodus 1 17, one of my favorite verses in the whole Bible, and I screamed this at pastors, and I yelled it at pastors, and I was unsuccessful. And I'll tell you why. But the midwives to the Hebrews, as in the original Hebrew it says this, feared God. Now the verse before it, Exodus 1 16, the king who forgot Joseph was like, hey, murder all the firstborn, murder them all, kill the babies. Now we would know nothing about killing babies in our civilization. We're way more advanced than that, obviously. We would never do such a thing ever, obviously. Look how advanced we are. We have Twitter and air conditioning, right? So this is, I always laugh when people say the Bible is such a medieval text, we've advanced so far. Yeah, right. No, we just do the evil things quicker and better and quieter and more secretly. So of course, we're more advanced than that. But the king or the pharaoh says, kill the firstborn. And I love this. The midwives disobeyed Pharaoh because they feared God. And it goes on to say that the Hebrew is not a great translation. God dealt well with them or God found favor in them. God loves when you defy tyranny for liberty. That is the heart of God. God wants you to reject tyranny if it engages in somebody's life or interferes with their liberty. A regular woke skinny jean -wearing pastor will tell you, no, no, no, Romans 13, man, submit to the rulers and authority because God put them there for your good. And then I say, OK, rocket scientist, constitutional scholar, man, your TED Talk rock concert, a thing you call a church with organized parking and a coffee bar. Let ask me you, since you're super smart, who are the leaders in America exactly? In Romans 13, God put the leaders in authority because they're there for your good. Who are the leaders? And they say the mayors, the congressmen, the senators. No, no, the people are the authority. So when the people's rights are infringed, the mayors and the state senators and Governor Polis should be submitting to us. We don't submit to them. So I love this verse. And God dealt well with the midwives. Let me ask you, is the American church, are we as Christians fighting tyranny the way the midwives fought tyranny in Egypt? I don't think we're doing a good job. I don't. I think you guys are. I mean, there's an exception. But the large part of the American church, American Christianity is submit to the government authority, submit to the cultural tyranny, submit to the pressure of the day. Submit to what other people are saying. That is not what God wants. And by the way, it's not just in Exodus. In Daniel, Daniel disobeyed the king and still prayed his prayers, ended up in the lion's den, right? In Acts, it says we obey God, not man, time and time again. Psalm 97 10 is my favorite, one of my favorite verses of the Bible. I have a lot of favorite verses. If you love God, you must hate evil. I don't think that we as Christians are doing a good job fulfilling that verse. I hear all the time, but Charlie, we must be nice. And I say, great. Right by the other point. Where in the 66 books of the Bible does the word nice appear in Aramaic or Greek or Hebrew? Waiting. Ready, set, go. And they say, well, we have to be loving. I said, yeah, but what does loving mean? Tell me in the original Greek. You know, is it agape, storge, phileo? You know, they say, well, oh my goodness. We kind of had this discourse earlier. But we're not called to be nice. We're called to tell the truth. And honestly, we've done a pretty crummy job of telling the truth the last 30 years here in America. We have allowed the worst of all evil, institutionalize itself, go after our children. And I finally am starting to see a response. This school is evidence of a response to all this institutionalized evil. And the midwives feared God and God dealt well with them. If we want God to deal well with us, maybe we should start fighting for liberty against tyranny. So God delivers his chosen people out of Egypt. And every time you hear Egypt, just think tyranny. Every time, right? And so he delivers them out of Egypt, one of my favorite parts. They're in the desert, you know, God, 10 miracles, the sea is parted. And this is why I always laugh when atheists say, all I need to do is see a miracle and I'll believe in God. Like, no, you don't. Like next Tuesday, you'll forget about God, right? Because you have a heart problem. You are your own God, right? That's not true. The Hebrews saw God move in an amazing way. They get into the desert. Within days, they're complaining. That's all the Jews do the entire Old Testament. They complain and they complain and they complain. It's why God had to let them all die off and, you know, have Joshua generation going. He's like, these people are not ready for Israel. They complained way too much. We want melons, we want meat, we want all the cucumbers. Literally, translation. So they get into the desert and they say, we want to go back to Egypt, because at least we had meat. At least we had melons, at least we had leeks, at least we had cucumbers. They wanted slavery over freedom because they ate better. And God's like, what am I going to do with these people? And I honestly think that's, I agree with Dennis Prager on this. It's one of the reasons why God chose the Jews. If you could do it with this group of people, you could do it with any group of people, right? If you could get this group of misfits to be successful in finance and business and education, there's something to this book, right? There's something there that we can all learn from. Anyway, so God then, God is a God of order. We as Christians don't do a good enough job. It drives me nuts when Christians only say God is love. Yeah, but he's also other things, okay? He's like judging God. Oh, you can't say that. Well, it's true. Jesus will judge the sinners at the end of the age. One of the main reasons why the church has gone woke is you'll never hear the three -letter word that every person needs to hear, sin. How do you know what redemption is if you don't know what sin is? Unknown concept. We just tell people, oh, you're perfect the way you are. Actually, you're not. Like you're pretty crummy in Jesus, like really bad, like really bad. All of us do, all the time. And we're going to keep sinning and we keep on eating Jesus. And so God established order for us. Of course, the Decalogue being the Ten Commandments or the Ten Statements. And of course, it begins, I am the Lord your God who delivered you from Egypt. He reminds them before he gives him the Decalogue. Moses, the Decalogue. Just in case you forgot, I delivered you from tyranny. God's heart is not for people to live in tyranny. That's when it drives me nuts when people say, Charlie, you're too political as a Christian. Look, God calls us to fight authoritarianism all the time. So then, my favorite one of the commandments that comes tonight, that pertains to tonight, is the one that every one of you are vigilant and why you're here tonight. Honor your mother and father so that you may live long in the land of which God is giving you. And I'm going to spend the remainder of my remarks on this and then he'll do some questions. Everything that the culture is doing when it comes to anybody under 18 is about trying to is this commandment the most proven commandment to have a free society. If you were to say, Charlie, out of all the Ten Commandments, what is the one that if you stop doing, you get tyranny the fastest? You actually more so than murder, more so than stealing, more so than not even having any gods before God. If you do not honor your mother and father, and I'll tell you exactly what that means, you 100 % will lose a free society. You cannot have a group of young people that dishonor or curse, which is the opposite of honor, their parents, and also live in liberty. It has never happened in the history of the species. Now, I'm a student of history. I love history. If anyone can tell me an example of a superpower that went out of their way to teach their children to hate the country that they're in, I'm all ears. I think it's the first time it's ever happened in the history of the species, and I've asked many different historians. When a wealthy, powerful, benevolent superpower has decided to teach their young, we actually hate the place that is pretty awesome. It is civilizational suicide. There will be historians 50 to 100 years from now writing books and teaching college classes, trying to try to answer the America question. How could a country that did so much good in World War II be so wealthy, be the beacon of light and liberty, have so much opportunity for so many people, go out of its way? And my answer is very simple. When you are secular and you do not believe in God, you must fill it with fake religions. Don't believe me? Go drive in one of these neighborhoods like I just did. BLM, gay pride, those are the pagan religions of the day. You always have to fill it with some source of meaning, whether it be the false god of BLM or the false god of trans surgeries for kids, whatever it is. They have to feel an attachment to something, and it's out of guilt. If you don't know how to deal with your guilt, because everyone feels guilt at some point, you're going to do some pretty wacky stuff. And boy, are we living in a society that is just ridden with pity and guilt. Pity for ourselves and our own state of affairs, it's rather remarkable. But if you have a strong attachment to the generation that came before you, you can inoculate yourself against that virus. So let's go through it. It's the only one of the Ten Commandments that involves a direct promise and also your nation. So we talk about politics, we talk about our country, we should probably isolate the one of the Ten Commandments that deals with the country. So honor, what does that word mean in Hebrew? It means heavily or to treat with seriousness or intentionality. What does curse mean in Hebrew? Lightly, it's the same root. So if you were to treat your parents lightly, you were to curse them. Now what does that mean to honor your mother and father? It means that when you're at college, you enter college believing that your parents are more correct than your professors. That does not happen. Professors at almost every single university across the country go out of their way to invalidate everything a parent has taught them up until age 18. Your parents are outdated, they're probably racist, they're terrible. Oh by the way, thanks for paying to the tuition to bring you here, but we're going to turn you into little revolutionaries basically. Finally, honor your mother and father so that you may live long in the land of which you are in. Marxism depends on three things. The obliteration of religion, property, and family. Private property, they're doing a great job and they're going to continue to do it. Religion, church rates are going down dramatically and they've infiltrated the American church. But the family was always the one that was able to say no. And you are going to have to, someone's going to have to explain this to me, how so many suburban house moms here in Colorado want their kids to suffer. It is unbelievable to me. This is one of the most radical like trans sanctuaries in the entire country. It's not ISIL, I'm sure you all know families or kids where you have parents that are excited to go get their 15 -year -old's breasts removed. It's amazing to me. And so the family's totally getting obliterated and deteriorated. That's why this school matters so much though, and why what you're doing matters so much, is that a strong nuclear family is a bulwark to any form of tyranny or any sort of despotism that we live through. And is Marxism really the kind of diabolical, and I use that word intentionally, enemy to the American republic and the American project. As it aims to do these things, as it continues to try to put these ideas into the zeitgeist, we ask ourselves the question, how does one fight back against it? And that's why the rise of homeschool and this alternative schooling is so exciting. They want you to just release your kid to the public government school and never ask a question after that. If you actually read their literature, they don't believe that it's your child. It's the state's child. That's not an exaggeration. You might say, Charlie, how did Colorado get so wacky? You know Colorado is the second most educated state in the country? College -educated state? There is your answer. Is that if you are non -stop producing people with college diplomas that believe men can give birth and have degrees in North African lesbian poetry, don't be surprised when your politics go insane. I trust welders, plumbers and construction workers far more than any given professor at, no offense, CU Boulder. I'm sorry, I just have to say it. I'm sorry. And so we must build new things. And I mentioned this earlier, we do not do a good enough job of defending our institutions from infiltration because we let our guard down and they take advantage of our good intentions. How many times do you feel like, well, what's the big deal? I want to be accepting to all people. So here's the playbook. It's so simple. Get a seat at the table. Complain relentlessly till I'm able to debase the leader on fake accusations and then I control the institution. How many times have you seen that? FBI, military, university campuses, major corporations, and they're relentless. You know what they operate? They operate like a bacterial infection that will not go away, that will just gnaw and gnaw and grow and grow and multiply. And we're like, well, my goodness, the CRT, DEI people, they used to have two seats at the table. Now they have 10 seats at the table and I don't want to be called a racist because that's the worst thing that you could be called. And so let's just let them control everything. So how do you summarize CRT? Call everything racist until you control it. That's it. That's what CRT is. Queer theory, call everything transphobic until you control it. It's a means to power. It's not about liberation. It's not about teaching history. It's a means to institutional takeover. And so the alternative is once they take over everything, build new stuff. And that's what you're doing. And so my one piece of advice to you guys, build, be bold, but please be vigilant about them trying to capture your institution. Because they don't build new stuff. That's what's crazy. They don't ever build anything beautiful or bold. They just take over stuff that we have built with our value system. And then we're like, well, we used to have that great thing. We used to have that church and used to have that school and used to have that place and used to have that company. And so they're experts at takeover. And so building new things is quite honestly the only and the best option. So I'll say this in closing. I get asked all the time, Charlie, this is a Christian audience, Charlie, do you think that we're in the end times? And I'm not a pastor, I'm not a theologian. So I'm not equipped to answer that, but I can say this. I'm very concerned that people are being taken advantage of by some pastors out there where they say, Charlie, Jesus is coming next Thursday. I don't have to do anything. I don't have to fight. Look, people ask, are you pre -trib or are you post -trib? I'm pan -trib. It's all going to pan out in the end. So I'm on the welcoming committee, not the planning committee. Okay. So this whole thing is a bunch of, you know, it's somewhat of a distraction. And, but, you know, people say, Charlie, you know, we must look, yes, we must look at the signs at the time. It's important to know what it means in the days of Noah. All that stuff is great and really important. I understand that. However, here's where it drives me nuts and I see it happen. And I want to make sure this might, if this touches one of you tonight, I will have done my job. Okay. Because you might be listening to some of those overly emphasized end times pastors, and you might feel disempowered and you might feel like you don't have to do anything. If I could just reach one of you, I feel I've done my job, which is the right response is if you feel that the world is ending and Jesus is coming soon, is not run to the Hill with the kids, is to occupy till Jesus comes. Is to hold as much turf and must terrain for his imminent return. And that must be our attitude because I'm afraid it has become an excuse. And I mean that very carefully. I've seen it where people say, Charlie, I don't need to donate. I don't need to start schools. I got asked by a Christian the other day, why even have kids? Because Jesus is coming again so quickly. I was like, wow. Jesus said the time or the day and the hour is unknown. It could be five minutes. It could be 50 years or 500 years. I get in trouble for even saying that because people say, Charlie, it's no more than five years. I said, listen, we don't know. It's what you do that matters. The enemy would love nothing more than to have us remain complacent, remain neutral if we are off by 200 years. God wants us to fight for what is good and what is righteous, regardless of what the signs of the times are telling us around us. And the most important thing that we as Christians have done a bad job and we as Protestants have done a bad job of is this. And I have to brag on the Catholics for a second. They have done a much better job than we as Protestants have done, a much better job at building colleges. And they're all woke now, but at building. But that's what happens. We don't defend anything. We build these beautiful things and the bacteria takes over. And so then at K through 12 schools, and I'll prove it to you, how many Bible believing spirit -filled Christians are on the US Supreme Court? There are far more Catholics. It's because they are experts at multi -generational type building and passing down values. I think we can learn something from that. And I think that one of the reasons we haven't done that is that since 1950 there's been a strain of Christianity that has told us we're getting zapped up in the next five minutes.

All of a sudden the enemy is going to be on the run in a very, very big way. Okay, let's do some questions and I'll stay as long as you'll have me. So, okay. Okay, so I have one question and I'm going to turn it out to all you guys. So get your questions ready. The college thing is a big deal. I feel like we've been even asked, do you send your kids to college? My husband's out of the room so I can say this. They're not going to Boulder. For those of you who don't know where my husband went and where he's very involved with right now, but it's a tough call. What do you think the chances are if let's say our kids go through a school like this, make it, get into a college percentage wise, where are we at with dropping off the bandwagon? You'll lose one out of four. Across where that's what you see in universities. Even the strongest K through 12 that I've seen, homeschool, one out of four will be lost. If they have a public school, you'll lose closer to 50, 60 percent. Wow. Okay guys, we've got a lot of work to do. We're going to try to break that statistic. Or just not send them to college. Yeah. Okay. Well, yes. Well, right. Well, that'll be an open thing. Unless they go to Hillsdale or CCU, but yes. But those are the exceptions. Let me be very clear. Yes. That is not how most schools are. Okay. Yeah. Okay. Good. Very good. That was very enthusiastic.

So my project will include both going to the field and getting my hands dirty and also working on the computer. But unfortunately, I think the wet lab aspect of it actually laughs the brain for it. So for my master's project, I didn't do a lot of cooking, Maggie, but there was a bit of informatics aspect you need where to know we are trying to figure out what this new microscope is all about. Now we have to go to the computer to design new primers, and we have to sequence things and try and allay the sequences of sent back to us, what are they saying? Is this region conserved or not? Could this be important when it comes to assessing you? This is Microsoft and B or something else. So that was the only information. Yeah. So characterizing microscopy, seeing where it falls taxonomically. Yeah, that was. A bit underwhelming compared to now there really interesting things that were happening when I was falling down in rice ideas. Yeah. I love that you said that because I'm in the same situation where I'm doing a molecular informatics thing, but my research is mainly wet lab, the only stuff that I do is just as in very basic just prima design, trying to construct new primers and thinking, okay, so which one should I look for? Restriction answers and trying to find out, okay, what are my targets in your mostly cloning stuff and you're just trying to do a pre lab thing then designing that and knowing okay, so this is what I'm expecting is what I want then going to the lab and also the sequencing part. It was a lot. I had to. Fix for answering that for someone who might be worried there might be the same situation that like, okay, so what informatics is this anyway? Parents, at this point, what are they thinking? Because at this point, at least you are getting some stiffened, at least you are not fully depending on them, and you are far away from them. And you are very, we probably at home talking about whatever you're doing. So what are they thinking? At this point, at that point.

So far away from home. Who is that content way? And your parents know that your introverted and yeah, so my parents would always be worried about me and I feel like even in my 50s.

And yeah, so thank you for this opportunity. It was a pleasure to share my story and I really hope that, you know, people will somehow benefit from this conversation we had.
The Vulnerable Scientist
"scientist" Discussed on The Vulnerable Scientist
"And today I have a money side, right? I said it right. With that. Perfectly. I'm on his side today who will be our guest for this podcast. I don't have to agree to you because we have been talking before this podcast, right? Okay, so could you introduce yourself to someone who does not know you? Yes, so today I am founder of a company called success beyond the lab. I'm a career coach, trainer, and speaker, and if you ask me why I decided to start this company is because I was once a loss scientist myself and had no clue what to do with my career after my PhD. So after figuring out the hard way how to create a career that is actually fun and fulfilling, I decided I want to help lots of more scientists to do the same. So that's what I'm on. I'm on this mission to help scientists, not just launch a dream career, but to use the knowledge we have to make a difference in society because I believe we can do that as scientists. So there is more I can tell you, but that would be the main thing I want to share with people. Okay. What were you doing before doing the going into doing that? Be specific more about what you're doing before. Oh, my God. Sarah, I mean, how much time do we have? You have a lot of fun. We have a lot of time. So maybe I can just explain my journey into science. Okay. Because I am a career coach and career is basically like the topic I like to talk and teach about. So when I was in school, I love biology. I remember going to biology class and it was like watching a movie for me. I guess I was one of those nerds. I would be like, oh my God, this is so exciting. Tell me more. It's what he was literally like watching a movie going to biology class. And I just noticed, I would look forward to going to these lessons, like all the other lessons were okay. It was a good student in general, but biology, which just get me so excited. So I think that's how I decided them to study biomedicine because I wanted to pursue a career that helps people. As a kid, I always want, I want to help people. So I thought first to become a doctor, but then at the age of 15, I did an internship in the hospital, and I did not like seeing lots of sick people suffering. So I'm like, no, I don't think I want to be a doctor. But I still love science. I love biology. So I thought, okay, maybe if I become a scientist, I can create cures, you know? And help people who are sick in that way. So that's really what got me on the path of science. I studied biomedical science, then I decided to move to Germany, so I grew up in Sweden. And I moved to Germany to do a PhD there. At the age of 20 three, yeah, I started quite early with my PhD. And in the beginning, I was very enthusiastic. You know, I could not wait to start my PhD because I felt like finally I get to do real science because as a master's student, you would get these like short projects that are quite simple and straightforward, not like risky projects. And then all of a sudden, as a PhD, it had like three, four years to really experiment on something. But half a year into my PhD, that's when I got my first, you like to talk about Lowe's, right? So I had my first low half a year into the PhD. We're all the data that I had been working on, just went into the bin. It was really, really, just like, okay, you know, all this experiments you did, and I was working so hard. I was working nice. I was working weekends. I was working my butt off, and then my PI told me, sorry, it doesn't, it contradicts the hypothesis we had. And for me, I was like, so what? So what? I mean, it's still data, right? It's still data that it was negative data. It's not confirming the hypothesis. And that was kind of my first wake-up call. What science is like sometimes that if it's not confirming the story that we want to tell, we trash that data. And I got so frustrated and I was like, but somebody probably wants to know this information that this doesn't work, so they don't also waste half a year of their time doing it. Nobody's going to publish that. So I think that was the beginning of the downfall of my belief and my enthusiasm for science, to be honest. Yeah, because then it became like the PhD became more about creating positive data to sell a story. So we can publish versus actually looking for new knowledge. I don't know. I don't know why I'm so taken back with that. Yeah, can you resonate with that? Okay. So what did you do about it, sorry? I have to ask. I mean, I was young, you know? So I was like, I started this thing and I just have to finish it. I'm not going to give up. I'm also not a quitter. So I'm like, although I felt that it wasn't aligned with my beliefs and I felt like, okay, it doesn't seem that I really fit into this work culture and this is not what I thought science would be like. And already from the get go, I started getting these messages like, well, of course, you're going to become a group leader and you're going to become a professor and I'd never even thought of that. When I started my PhD, it was more about I love science. But I didn't have this sets vision that I want to become a professor, but then I started getting these messages, right? But of course, this is your path. And so I noticed I started getting almost like brainwashed that this is what you should become. This is what you should do to be a successful scientist. And I started struggling with that because they felt, but this is not me. So it felt like, you know, when people talk about impostor syndrome and that it's so common and I could emia. I think it's like people trying to force themselves to fit in into this box of what it's like to be a successful scientist. And then you feel you're not a successful scientist because you're not living up to these expectations and these standards. Like, oh yeah, I have a life. I actually don't want to work 24/7. Or I don't want to become a professor or publishing was not maybe my main priority. It was more about actually creating knowledge that is interesting. Anyway, I think a lot of things that academia are broken. And today as a career coach, I find it sad and frustrating that still the same issues. Our ongoing and a lot of young people are losing faith and quitting
