Speaker BMany today know her as the host of the Courtney Turner Podcast, where she boldly seeks truth, diving into a myriad of deep topics surrounding issues of health, fitness, medicine, philosophy, psychology, politics, geopolitics, and social sociocultural zeitgeist.
Speaker BCourtney Turner, welcome to the Will Spencer Podcast.
Speaker AThanks so much for having me.
Speaker BI've been very much looking forward to this conversation because you have a mastery of occult theosophical topics and understanding how they feed into our world today that I don't think I've ever seen anyone express such a deep and comprehensive understanding of all the many, they'll call it tentacles that stretch into culture and politics.
Speaker BAnd so I've been really looking forward to having this conversation.
Speaker AWell, thank you so much.
Speaker AI don't know that I'm the expert, but I've definitely spent some time digging into this stuff.
Speaker BYeah, well, you did the reading and going back to the primary sources, because you can talk about Blavatsky and Theosophy.
Speaker BI saw that you talked about Heidegger as well.
Speaker BAnd you can talk about these things from the position of, well, I've read books about them.
Speaker BOr you can actually go read their books and see what they had to say in their own words.
Speaker BAnd as I'm sure you know, that's an incredibly revealing process.
Speaker AYes, yes, definitely.
Speaker AReading the primary sources reveals way more.
Speaker BYes.
Speaker AI often feel like it's really helpful if you read the primary sources.
Speaker AYou read it from people who are on the inside, who are.
Speaker AThey're not coming from a critical bias.
Speaker AI mean, everybody has a bias.
Speaker AYou know, you can only see through your eyes.
Speaker ARight.
Speaker ASo they're always gonna come from bias.
Speaker ABut I feel like when you read secondary sources, particularly ones that are critical, it's already slanted and selected, so you don't have as much to parse through and make your own, you know, assessments.
Speaker ASo I actually like reading from those who are promoting it, the insiders.
Speaker AI feel like they reveal way more, and then it's up to me.
Speaker AI can use my discernment.
Speaker AWhat do I agree with?
Speaker AWhat do I disagree with?
Speaker AHow do I feel about it?
Speaker ABut it's not already curated for me.
Speaker BSo, yeah, it's not going to confirm your existing biases.
Speaker BOne of the books I've been talking about recently is Black sun by Nicholas Goodrich Clark.
Speaker BAnd so he talks about how all these influences feed into, like, Neo Nazism, but he's only going to pick out the bits that support his thesis, naturally.
Speaker BAs opposed to who was Helena Blavatsky and what was she really about, et cetera.
Speaker AYes, exactly.
Speaker BSo what originally sparked your interest?
Speaker BWell, maybe we can talk a little bit first about your origin story.
Speaker BHow did you get into talking about this stuff?
Speaker BIt's sort of a.
Speaker BI mean, pun intended, esoteric world to find your way into.
Speaker AYeah, pun intended for sure.
Speaker AIt was like the least likely place for me to end up.
Speaker AAlthough, knowing my history, it kind of all did come together.
Speaker AI mean, if I, you know, hindsight's 20 20, but if you were to ask me even five years ago, you know, did I think I'd be doing what I do now, I probably would have said no.
Speaker AAnd I would have thought it was crazy.
Speaker AI mean, I had no idea.
Speaker AI had never listened to podcasts.
Speaker AI didn't know what they were in 2020.
Speaker ALike, here, here's kind of a funny story.
Speaker ALike someone hearing my birth story had recommended that I should be on Rogan.
Speaker AAnd I said, why?
Speaker AWhat's a Rogan?
Speaker AWhy do I need to be on it?
Speaker BWhat's a Rogan?
Speaker AYeah, I mean, that's how clueless I was.
Speaker BAmazing.
Speaker AI'm like, what's a Rogan?
Speaker AWhy do I need to be on it?
Speaker AAnd they were explaining, oh, he's like one of the top podcasts.
Speaker AI'm like, what's a podcast?
Speaker AYou know, so I don't have that impression anymore.
Speaker AI'm very aware of who Rogan is.
Speaker AYeah, I did my homework and, you know, ended up deciding I wanted to start a podcast.
Speaker ABut what happened was 2020, that was my kind of awakening, quote, unquote.
Speaker AThat term seems to be in great debate currently, so.
Speaker ABut that was.
Speaker AI was very much asleep.
Speaker AI always make the joke that it took me forever to find the train station.
Speaker AI found the high speed rail.
Speaker AAnd I've been scrambling to catch up since then.
Speaker ABut I mean, I was very, very much in the dark.
Speaker AI was in the entertainment industry.
Speaker AI was in a sea of leftist in New York City and then in California.
Speaker AAnd I was never politically.
Speaker AAt least I didn't identify or align with the left.
Speaker ABut I usually tried to keep my views pretty quiet when I had Moved to la.
Speaker AA few years into my being there, somebody had invited me into a, quote, unquote, very secret underground group, a fellowship that was so secret, it was on the front page of the New York Times.
Speaker AYeah.
Speaker AOtherwise known as the foa, the Friends of abe.
Speaker AAnd this was like a fellowship for, they say, conservative, but it was really anybody who is not on the left, who was in the entertainment industry because so many people were experiencing, you know, cancel culture to the extent where they were getting blacklisted, they couldn't get work if they were to say anything that, you know, didn't fully align with the mainstream narrative at the time.
Speaker ASo they created a fellowship.
Speaker AIt was Gary Sinise who had started it and I had joined that.
Speaker ASo, you know, then I got a little bit more outspoken.
Speaker AI ended up writing for something called Politic, um, and doing some interviews.
Speaker AAnd, you know, I got a little bit more outspoken at the time.
Speaker ABut I was really, for so long, just stayed out of it because, you know, of the potential ramifications of speaking up.
Speaker ASo it was just not something that I was ever expecting I would end up in.
Speaker ABut then in 2020, I was working for two gyms.
Speaker AI was a CrossFit coach and a personal trainer.
Speaker AAnd I was also an aerial acrobatic performer.
Speaker ABut I would speak, so I would share my birth story and use the performance as an example, a testament to what was possible when nobody thought it was.
Speaker ASo, I mean, it was fun to do, which I enjoyed it.
Speaker ASo, you know, there was that too.
Speaker ABut it was really talking about movement from the philosophical perspective, movement as a metaphor for life, and using physical training as a teacher to help you overcome adversities in other areas of life.
Speaker ASo that's what I was doing.
Speaker AOf course, 2020 came around.
Speaker AI got fired from both gyms.
Speaker AI can't prove it, but I'm 99.999, you know, repeating forever, sure that it was over politics.
Speaker AAnd then, of course, all the events that I was doing, all the performing, those all got canceled for a little while.
Speaker AI started doing some on Zoom, but it's, you know, showing videos of Ariel is not quite the same.
Speaker ASo.
Speaker AYeah.
Speaker AAnd even speaking on Zoom, it's just not quite the same.
Speaker ASo I ended up not being able to continue much of that.
Speaker AAnd, yeah, so I found myself incredibly isolated.
Speaker AEverybody was wearing a mask.
Speaker AI was in Santa Monica, California, where, you know, it was pretty tyrannical.
Speaker AAnd so I was.
Speaker AI found myself just incredibly isolated and really depressed.
Speaker ALike, extremely depressed.
Speaker AI didn't realize how much I still depended on nonverbal communication for clarity of speech until all the coping mechanisms I had spent my life develop, you know, with that strip from me.
Speaker ASo I was born hearing impaired.
Speaker AI'm blind in one eye.
Speaker AI had heart surgery as a year old, a whole bunch of complications from birth.
Speaker AAnd I got hearing aids when I was about six years old.
Speaker ABut I had learned how to speak by reading lips.
Speaker ASo I still depend a lot on the non verbal, which is why even people who want it to be anonymous will come on my show and I'll tell them I won't take anonymous people anymore, by the way, because all of them rescind it always.
Speaker AThey always retract it.
Speaker AAnd I'm like, like this is too much time, too much energy.
Speaker AI'm not doing it.
Speaker ASo.
Speaker ABut I have done it a couple of times and I've told them you still have to have it on video because I need to be able to see your lips.
Speaker AOtherwise, you know, unless it's in person.
Speaker ASo, yeah, so I, I found myself just in a position where I was really, really depressed.
Speaker AAnd you know, some people had suggested I start a podcast.
Speaker AAnd as I had said, I had no idea what those were.
Speaker AI was completely clueless.
Speaker ABut I started listening to podcasts when, you know, when someone mentioned that and that became kind of a.
Speaker AIt was like my friends, you know, I guess the way people used to feel about watching tv, you know, they're in your living room.
Speaker AAnd they kept me company for my long hikes where I would drive an hour and a half away to go for a hike.
Speaker ASo I didn't have to worry about being arrested on a mountain by myself for having a naked face or being, you know, out on the beach and baring my naked face.
Speaker AThat was a.
Speaker ASuch a potential threat to people.
Speaker ABut listening to these podcasts was, you know, way to pass the time and not to feel so alone.
Speaker AAnd then it dawned on me that, you know, if I started one, then at least I could have naked face conversations.
Speaker AAnd I didn't, you know, I had no idea where it would go or if I would even continue, but even remotely through a digital interface, I felt that it would do so much for, sorry, my morale and for my, you know, just, yeah, my emotional well being.
Speaker AAnd so I decided that I would start it and I made a commitment for six months and I told all the guests that I may never air it, you know, that I really just wanted to start six months, see how this goes.
Speaker AAnd you know, I wanted to be able to have conversations with People meaningful discussions and see their faces.
Speaker AWell, did so.
Speaker AAnd so, yeah, I did.
Speaker AAnd people seemed to enjoy it.
Speaker AAnd so that was in 2020.
Speaker AI really didn't start.
Speaker AI think I aired my first episod, like, January of 2021.
Speaker AAnd, yeah, I had started it very much in the political sphere, also in the medical freedom, obviously, I was really pushing back against things that they were advocating that I was not in favor of.
Speaker AI had the final straw before I left was a woman chasing me down the street wearing a mask, and she had a knife in her hand, and she was screaming at me, telling me that I was a murderer because I had a naked face.
Speaker ASo there were many experiences, but that was kind of one of the final straws where I was like, I think it's time for me to go.
Speaker AAnd I really did start thinking, if we could just get the right people in office, then we could turn this whole thing around.
Speaker AAnd I kept saying that the Republican Party is behaving as a controlled opposition for the left.
Speaker AAnd about a few months in, I was like, no, they were created to be controlled opposition position for the laugh.
Speaker AAnd I think I really got, you know, I started to go much deeper.
Speaker AIt was.
Speaker AI want to say it might have been December of 2020, but I'd have to go back and look exactly when.
Speaker ABut a friend of mine at midnight, and I don't know why midnight was like, during that time period when I'm ready to, you know, call it a night, or I shouldn't have been up anyway.
Speaker ABut everybody has emergencies, and you have to check this out.
Speaker AAnd a friend of mine sent me this video from Dr.
Speaker AJohn Coleman and said, have you ever seen this?
Speaker AAnd it was his committee of 300 video, which actually is still on YouTube, surprisingly enough.
Speaker AAnd I said, no, I've never heard of him.
Speaker AAnd he said, okay, you have to watch this, and then call me back, it's midnight.
Speaker AOf course I have to watch it right now.
Speaker ABut it was 2020, and a lot of people had nothing to do.
Speaker ASo I guess that's what we did.
Speaker AAnd so I.
Speaker AAnd then I was riveted, and I started looking online for all of his books, and I found one that was retailing on Amazon for almost $4,000.
Speaker ANow you can get it for $25 plus, you know, shipping and tax and whatever, but it's 25, much more affordable.
Speaker AI don't know if they've edited or whatnot, but at the time, I was not paying, you know, $4,000.
Speaker AI didn't have that kind of disposable income for a book.
Speaker AYeah, exactly.
Speaker ASo I did not purchase the book.
Speaker AI did go and get an online PDF, but I read it three times in a week because it was very captivating and it was such a.
Speaker AIt was the Tavistock book, the Institute of Human Relations.
Speaker AAnd I read it three times in a week because for me, it kind of converged.
Speaker AAll the fields I had been immersed in, you know, the entertainment industry with the culture, philosophy, psychology, you know, and 20, around 2010, 2011 is when, you know, a lot of people in that group foa have been buzzing about the Frankfurt School and how infiltrated the entertainment industry, you know, so I had done quite a bit of research and I was a philosophy major also, so I was very familiar with those philosophers and psychologists, but, you know, had a very different perspective on them in, you know, the 2010s timeframe.
Speaker AAnd so I had already done a dive in that, and the Tavistock kind of intersected the two.
Speaker AAnd I think once you start diving into that stuff, you can't really ignore, you know, the occult groupings that are kind of the hidden hands behind things.
Speaker ASo.
Speaker AYeah, sorry, it was a long winded.
Speaker BNo, no, no.
Speaker BIt's funny, your.
Speaker BYour answer.
Speaker BI.
Speaker BI sort of feel like I've been transported back to where I was at in 2020.
Speaker BYou know, I'd spent a long time in the new age and I was aware of a lot of the names that I'm sure we'll get into.
Speaker BBut remembering the medical freedom, remember the, the masking, remembering all, like, all the videos going around at the time, because we're all locked inside, having to watch YouTube and listen to podcasts.
Speaker BAnd it's funny that you mentioned the John Coleman book, the committee of 300, because another one of my guests, Mike Williams, who does a lot of work with the Beatles, he referenced that book as well as very formative for him.
Speaker BI wasn't aware that it was $4,000 at one point on Amazon, but.
Speaker BBut that was also a very formative book for him, Tavistock.
Speaker BAnd of course, man, I haven't heard about the Frankfurt School.
Speaker BThat was the whole big thing for a couple years there.
Speaker BI mean, obviously they're still very influential, but.
Speaker BYeah, please, go ahead.
Speaker AOh, yeah, no, it was so before I actually had my own podcast.
Speaker AIt's what everybody brought me on to talk about was the Frankfurt School, because most of the people I was surrounded by were leftists.
Speaker AAnd they kept telling me, this is a crazy conspiracy theorist.
Speaker AAnd I was like, I don't know.
Speaker AWhy people are calling this a conspiracy theorist.
Speaker AConspiracy theory.
Speaker AIt's literally like mainline history.
Speaker AYeah.
Speaker AAnd this part of anybody who's taken a philosophy class knows about these philosophers.
Speaker ALike, this is.
Speaker AOr anybody who studied psychology one on one, knows these psychologists.
Speaker ASo I don't really understand.
Speaker AAnd then somebody sent me a Wikipedia excerpt, and it literally right under Frankfurt School says conspiracy theory.
Speaker AAnd I was like, this is crazy.
Speaker AI mean, this is just like.
Speaker ALike mainline, you know, academic material.
Speaker AThis is not.
Speaker AThis is history.
Speaker ASo.
Speaker ABut a lot of the people who I knew at the time who were doing podcasts were mostly on the left, and they would bring me on to, you know, kind of argue with me about the Frankfurt School.
Speaker BWhat did they.
Speaker AAre.
Speaker BWhat did they argue?
Speaker BDid they say the Frankfurt School didn't exist or that these guys didn't say what their writings say?
Speaker BThat they said, like, what was their.
Speaker BWhat was their position?
Speaker AWell, they argued, you know, the Wikipedia point, that at that talking point, that it was a conspiracy theory, so it wasn't real, and that these are just misinterpreted philosophers and that they weren't really trying to subvert anything.
Speaker AAnd I'm like, you.
Speaker AAll you have to do is read.
Speaker AMarcus did, like, literally, he says liberating tolerance would mean accept everything from the left and reject everything from the right.
Speaker AThat is a quote.
Speaker AIt's a direct quote.
Speaker AIt's not, you know, this isn't like interpretive, kind of, you know, manipulative language games.
Speaker AThis is just direct quote from him.
Speaker ASo, yeah, I'm like, I don't know.
Speaker AYou may support what they're doing.
Speaker AThat's fine.
Speaker AYou can argue that you think that their stance is justifiable, but that's.
Speaker AThey were just arguing with me that, you know, I was crazy and making things up and.
Speaker AOkay, well, I had one.
Speaker AOne guy who brought me on a couple of times, and he.
Speaker AI mean, he would always tell me because I would get into debates with him all the time.
Speaker AAnd I remember one time I went to his house, and I actually brought a stack of books, and I said, okay, if you want to discuss this, you know, like, let's talk about it.
Speaker AAnd I brought a stack of books to his house, and he said, oh, corny, I can't read primary sources from philosophers.
Speaker AAnd I said, so you've been.
Speaker AYou've spent, like, the past year arguing with me about these thinkers that you've never read?
Speaker AAnd he said, well, I read the, you know, secondary or tertiary sources.
Speaker AAnd I'm like, so you don't know what They've actually said.
Speaker AAnd he said, well, I can't understand the primary source.
Speaker AI'm like, you don't know what they said.
Speaker AHow can you be arguing with me?
Speaker AI mean, it's fine.
Speaker AI'm not telling you.
Speaker AYou have to read them.
Speaker ABut don't argue with me about something you've never read.
Speaker BThat sounds like a personal problem, that you can't read these sources, and yet you're going to argue with me who actually has.
Speaker BMaybe I should.
Speaker BMaybe I shouldn't talk to you anymore.
Speaker BWe might not be on the same intellectual level.
Speaker AIt was interesting.
Speaker BYes, I can imagine.
Speaker BSo you were in Santa Monica at the time, I believe you said.
Speaker BAnd so I imagine that that was all these big shifts, you know, your egg being removed from a CrossFit gym.
Speaker BThat's a little weird, because I always thought that CrossFit guys were a little bit more on the conservative side.
Speaker AYou would think so.
Speaker AAnd actually, one of the gyms I worked at, the owner, one of it was two owners, and one of them was actually a good friend of mine.
Speaker AThat's how I.
Speaker AI ended up falling into the position.
Speaker AIt was like I took the.
Speaker AJust for myself.
Speaker ABut I lived very close to the gym, and I was friends with the owner.
Speaker AAnd one day I showed up for class, and they were talking about how the coach just didn't show up that morning, and that's why the owner was teaching.
Speaker AAnd I said, you know, I live.
Speaker AYou know where I live.
Speaker ABecause he would always come to use my building's pool, so he knew where I lived.
Speaker AAnd he was like.
Speaker AAnd I said to him, you know, I have my certification.
Speaker AIf you're ever in a position where that happens, I mean, I can't promise, but if I'm available, I'm happy to coach.
Speaker AWell, it was happening for, like, consecutively, for a month.
Speaker AAnd they just kept asking me, can you come?
Speaker ACan you come?
Speaker AAnd, yeah.
Speaker AFinally, he's like, I think we should just hire you.
Speaker ACause, yeah, clearly there were problems there.
Speaker ABut that was how I ended up doing it.
Speaker AI mean, I had gotten the certification already, but he was a friend of mine.
Speaker AWe always.
Speaker AHe knew where I stood.
Speaker ALike, we were not exactly aligned, but they were both Navy SEALs.
Speaker AAnd I had made a comment about how I literally just repeated the Franklin Lyon that if you're willing to trade, you know, your security for a little bit of.
Speaker ASorry, a little bit of freedom for security, then you deserve neither.
Speaker AI'm paraphrasing it, but, you know, the gist of it.
Speaker AAnd he.
Speaker AThey had Such a hard time.
Speaker AThey said, you don't understand the younger generation and what they've been through.
Speaker AAnd I mean, they just railed against me for a good half hour, telling me that I was an idiot.
Speaker AAnd I was shocked.
Speaker ALike, wow.
Speaker AI mean, these are Navy seals.
Speaker AI didn't think that was a controversial kind of statement, but yeah.
Speaker AAnd then the other one, it was over some of the, you know, requirements at the time.
Speaker AAnd because I'm hearing impaired, I was like, I can't do this.
Speaker AI just.
Speaker AYeah.
Speaker ASo.
Speaker BThat'S.
Speaker BI mean, I think one of the.
Speaker ASuper woke, though, like, the other.
Speaker AThere were two that.
Speaker AThe.
Speaker AThe one I worked there, the one that was closer to me that I ended up working in two.
Speaker ABut the other gym was super woke.
Speaker ALike, overtly woke.
Speaker AThe one that, you know, was my friends.
Speaker AThey were definitely, clearly, they had more woke kind of sensibilities.
Speaker AThey were definitely not politically aligned, but they were.
Speaker AIt wasn't super overt until then.
Speaker BGot it.
Speaker BSo they didn't.
Speaker BThey didn't make it super obvious that, you know, they were on the left.
Speaker BIt wasn't like they had rainbow pride flags hanging up.
Speaker AYou only discovered the other one that I got fired from did.
Speaker AAnd I had.
Speaker ASo the.
Speaker AOne of my co workers at the gym with the two Navy SEALs had brought me into that other gym and she had reached out to me and said she was so disappointed in me because I didn't put a black square for Blackout Tuesday.
Speaker BOh, my goodness.
Speaker AAnd I.
Speaker AYeah.
Speaker AAnd, you know, I tried just to be polite.
Speaker AI always knew she was like a radical feminist.
Speaker AShe was a hardcore leftist.
Speaker AAnd, you know, I knew we were not super aligned, but very sweet girl.
Speaker AAnd, like, we were definitely friendly.
Speaker ASo I didn't see any reason to be confrontational with her.
Speaker AI just said, you know, I think we can do a lot more for a cause in person than, you know, virtue signaling with a.
Speaker AA square on my Instagram.
Speaker AAnd she started.
Speaker AShe just kept pushing back, telling me that I had a responsibility.
Speaker AAnd she said, you know, we can't just be white feminists.
Speaker AAnd that was when I was like, wow.
Speaker AAnd I kind of was just baffled.
Speaker AI said, I've never claimed to be a feminist, so I'm a little confused.
Speaker BIt's funny when you get.
Speaker AGo ahead.
Speaker AWhat?
Speaker BWell, it's funny when you get roped into a we that you didn't quite realize that you were a part of.
Speaker AYes.
Speaker AYes.
Speaker ASo, yeah, that got me a earful, or rather a eyeful of text that I really had no interest in.
Speaker AEngaging with.
Speaker AAnd I really just tried to be very polite and dismissive, but, you know, they were continuously coming after me on all the platforms and, you know, you know how the swarm tactics go.
Speaker ASo I'm very familiar with them now.
Speaker ABut that was my foray into social media swarm, you know, gang stalking.
Speaker BDon't I know about the social media swarms?
Speaker BYou know, it seemed.
Speaker BAnd that's one of the oddest things about our age today is it feels very much like if you cross a certain line, you know, you'll get it from both the left and the right these days, especially the right these days.
Speaker BBut, you know, I was in the manosphere a couple years ago, 2020 to 2022, roughly.
Speaker BAnd I observed even back then that, like, okay, so I expected to make the left mad with talking about feminism and stuff like that, but I was completely unprepared for just how bad a right wing swarm would be.
Speaker BWhen you make the bros mad, the bros are so much, so much worse.
Speaker BAnd that's just an odd facet of our age where it's like, okay, so maybe we don't have to worry about censorship as much as we used to.
Speaker BLike, I know that, you know, I posted.
Speaker BOh my goodness.
Speaker BI posted a clip of myself on a podcast that I was on, and we'll call it 2021, right?
Speaker BSomething like that.
Speaker BI posted a clip from someone else's podcast and I posted it last year, 2024, probably even after the election, something like that.
Speaker BAnd I was talking about the jab and all the different stuff.
Speaker BAnd even three years later, I got a hard warning over medical misinformation from three years prior of stuff that's all been validated now.
Speaker BAnd so that was one form of censorship where the dialogue is controlled by, by institutional forces, but now we're seeing it enforced by bot armies or, I don't know, ideologues.
Speaker BI don't really know what.
Speaker BBut it's a sad.
Speaker AIt's a sad facet of algorithmic feedback loops is essentially what's going on.
Speaker AYeah.
Speaker BSay more about that.
Speaker AWell, there's a lot to say about that, but that's where we're at.
Speaker ASo this.
Speaker AFirstly, I'll just a little.
Speaker AI think you may have seen this, but funny story about like, like pissing off both the left and the right of the dialectic.
Speaker AI posted a video on Instagram because I.
Speaker AI'm so censored on Facebook and Instagram, I've kind of just stopped posting anything significant.
Speaker AIt's mostly just like my fitness material.
Speaker AI had started.
Speaker AI started my Instagram as a, like, training diary for when I tried out for American Ninja Warrior.
Speaker ASo I've just kind of left it as more of a fitness blog kind of thing.
Speaker ABut I posted a video.
Speaker AIt wasn't even, like, on my main page.
Speaker AIt was in my story of me deadlifting.
Speaker AAnd Guy reached out to me to tell me that I was a feminist, because I was.
Speaker ABecause I liked working out.
Speaker AThis is like the most asinine thing I've heard of, like, in a very long time.
Speaker AIt was so funny that I posted it.
Speaker AI was like, this is just hilarious, you know, And I was like, yeah, this is.
Speaker AI was like.
Speaker AI remember a few years ago when they were saying that exercise is like extreme right wingism.
Speaker ALike, it's amazing.
Speaker AI've managed to piss off both sides of the dialectic by lifting a barbell.
Speaker AThat's it.
Speaker AYou know, great.
Speaker AGood job, Gu.
Speaker BWell done.
Speaker ABut the worst of the swarms I've experienced is actually talking about the biodigital convergence stuff.
Speaker AAnd they are vicious.
Speaker AVicious.
Speaker AAnd the only thing I can conclude is that they must be some sort of an operation.
Speaker AThen there must be, like, bots involved.
Speaker ABut I think that it is designed to discredit and gatekeep the information because they came after me really hard when I shared a white paper.
Speaker AAnd I was like, that's like, it's a white paper.
Speaker AAnd if you cared about the information getting out, wouldn't you be happy I shared, you know, a white paper?
Speaker ASo it was very, very strange.
Speaker ABut it went on for a long time.
Speaker ALike, I actually had to block most of those people, which is unfortunate because some of the information is that they put out is great, you know, but the.
Speaker AI don't need that kind of abuse in my life.
Speaker ASo my emotional sanity was way more important.
Speaker ASo I ended up blocking most of them.
Speaker ABut yeah, so cybernetic, algorithmic, cybernetic feedback loop.
Speaker ASo cybernetics is, you know, a field of Norbert Wiener back in the.
Speaker AI think it was in the 50s.
Speaker AAnd.
Speaker AAnd it is this, you know, kind of study of.
Speaker AEssentially it's built on the.
Speaker AAn extension of Tavistock sociotechnical systems.
Speaker AThis was like Eric Trist and Emory who were working on, you know, how people interact with technology and environments.
Speaker AThis is really the very like broad brush strokes kind of flipness, you know, colloquial layman kind of terms.
Speaker ABut that's essentially what it was.
Speaker AAnd cybernetics is studying feedback loops.
Speaker AAnd so now that we.
Speaker AThat the sociotechnical systems have advanced so much.
Speaker AWe're in an era where we really are already, you know, people talk about the transhumanism, right, but we're already cybernetically engaged and our, even our neurology has been altered by the screens.
Speaker ASo the way we engage with information, the way that we process information, information has all been altered by our screen time.
Speaker ABut Cybernex is this feedback loop, the study of feedback loops.
Speaker ASo now we have these algorithms who data mine from people and then they take that information.
Speaker AAnd it's all done mostly under the guise of marketing.
Speaker ALike right, we just want to target you with ads that you want to see so that, you know, when you talk about hip pain, we're going to find like the thing that's going to cure it and we'll feed it right to you.
Speaker AJust silly example.
Speaker ABut you know, that's how they, that's how they sell it to us.
Speaker AThat, that's what that's about.
Speaker AAnd in part it is because obviously, you know, so marketing is all about profiteering.
Speaker AAnd so, you know, that is part of it.
Speaker ABut part of it is also so they can data mine you and figure out what information to feed you.
Speaker ABut what happens is that becomes a cyclical feedback loop where you are now becoming siloed and programmed.
Speaker ASo this is why, you know, we'll take Twitter as just an example, but it's just one social media example.
Speaker AAnd the, a really good document to look on.
Speaker AThis is the cogn warfare document.
Speaker AThis was done by NATO intelligence, this was back in 2020.
Speaker AAnd they talk about how they're going to use these cybernetic feedback loops and particularly weaponized emotions.
Speaker AAnd anger was a really big one.
Speaker ASo a lot of it is about targeting people to get a reaction.
Speaker AAnd so it's heightened response because people who are either afraid or angry are much more susceptible to suggestion.
Speaker AAnd so this way now you've got these algorith that are like I was going to say when, if you open up Twitter, for example, when I open my Twitter feed, although I, you know, I have my, I have it set to all and I, I don't even have any kind of specifications like that I select but based on my history, I'm fed a whole bunch of, you know, things whether I follow these people or not.
Speaker ANow somebody else may open their Twitter feed and see something totally different.
Speaker AThis is because the algorithms have been not only feeding you but, but they've been data mining you and it's become cybernetic.
Speaker ASo it's a feedback loop.
Speaker AThey mine from you and then they feed you information, which programs you, right?
Speaker ASo now people, if I open my feed and all I see is, you know, racial violence, like people, you know, calling for racial violence, then I think, oh my goodness, this is what's going on everywhere.
Speaker AYou know, that's my impression, because it's all I see when I go to my feed, you know, and that's.
Speaker ASo it gives people an impression of what's going on.
Speaker AAnd what happens is.
Speaker AAlthough that.
Speaker AThat becomes very heightened in the online sphere because of course, people are willing to say much more than they would if they were looking someone directly in the eye.
Speaker ARight.
Speaker AKeyboard warriors are much more bold than, say, you know, people when they have to face the humanity of another person on the other side and they have to stare them in the eye.
Speaker AIt's a very different experience.
Speaker ABut what happens is that actually get extrapolated into the real world because people's perception has been manipulated and twisted.
Speaker BI'm marveling at the speed.
Speaker BI think you started out by saying you were trying to catch up to a high speed train.
Speaker BSo I'm kind of marveling at the speed that you went from not knowing what a podcast was to five years in the future talking about cybernetic feedback loops and data mining.
Speaker BI mean, that must be.
Speaker BThat must be a big transition for you within yourself and your understanding of yourself.
Speaker BPerhaps I can mention you're also married.
Speaker BMaybe that's been a big part of.
Speaker BYou don't have to talk about this, but your relationship as well.
Speaker BOf course, you're welcome to if you'd like.
Speaker BBut I'm just reflecting on how many of us have changed in the past five years into probably what are relatively unrecognizable versions of ourselves compared to where we were.
Speaker BSo I'm anxious to dive into more of those topics.
Speaker BBut maybe you can talk a little bit about that personal shift, because I haven't heard anyone talk about it quite in the same way.
Speaker ASure.
Speaker AWell, though, for me, like I said, I was pretty asleep and really just.
Speaker AI mean, when I say asleep, I mean I was really asleep.
Speaker ABut I think people have planted seeds along the way.
Speaker AAnd I think this is really important for people to understand because I know sometimes you get very frustrated when you have all this information.
Speaker AAnd I've been told by people, you're speaking over their head, nobody knows what you're talking about.
Speaker AAnd I'm like, that's okay, just plant the seeds.
Speaker AAnd that's why I always bring receipts.
Speaker ASo I know sometimes my material can get kind of Boring, because I will literally read the quotes and I've had people say.
Speaker AI'm like.
Speaker AThey're like, you're literally just reading it?
Speaker AYeah, because from the horse's mouth.
Speaker ASo this is not me making it up.
Speaker AYou can't.
Speaker AAnd I'm showing it on the screen and I do that intentionally so that you can then make your own decision.
Speaker ABut now you know where to go read the rest of it.
Speaker ASo I think it's really important for people to just plant the seeds because they don't have to get it then.
Speaker AAnd I know that's what happened for me.
Speaker ASo I had people who were, I guess what you call truthers.
Speaker AI kind of really hate that term lately, but.
Speaker ABecause it's been kind of co opted.
Speaker ABut I had people in my life, you know, who were in that sphere and they really tried to open my eyes and I was just not ready at all.
Speaker AAnd everybody's got their reasons.
Speaker AFor me, it was because my dad and I had kind of a.
Speaker AWe had a complicated relationship.
Speaker ABut most of what he was willing to talk to me about was intellectual.
Speaker ASo, you know, he would talk to me about politics, he would, you know, discuss, you know, books, ideas.
Speaker AAnd I didn't know it at the time, but he was really a neocon.
Speaker AAnd so if I brought up any of the just, you know, kind of narratives or questions that I had around this, you know, I guess what you'd call it, the truth or space.
Speaker AHe would tell me that that's crazy, it's conspiracy theory.
Speaker AYou can't listen to these crazy.
Speaker AAnd so I felt like I couldn't risk losing the relationship with my father to really investigate.
Speaker ASo I really just shut it off.
Speaker ABut I did have people along the way who kept planting the seeds.
Speaker AAnd then of course, 2020 came around.
Speaker AMy father had passed and my now husband was very patient with me.
Speaker AHe just kept kind of planting seeds and he's like, oh, okay.
Speaker AYou know, I was ready to receive some things, I wasn't ready to receive others.
Speaker ABut I think the big turning point for me was I knew when the supposed outbreak happened, I knew they were gonna start pushing jabs.
Speaker AI knew that intuitively that that's what that was all about.
Speaker AAnd I had such a bad feeling about it.
Speaker ASo I started doing a lot of research.
Speaker AAnd at the time I had been totally pro jabs, like regular jabs.
Speaker ASo the narrative, and this is a whole rabbit hole that we don't have to go down.
Speaker AI mean, I know it's quite controversial for people, but I've studied it quite the whole terrain theory versus germ theory.
Speaker AJust to give you the umbrella.
Speaker AYeah.
Speaker ASo the narrative that I was told was that I was born with congenital rubella.
Speaker ASo the story goes that my mom had germ measles during first trimester of pregnancy.
Speaker AAnd so they had done a test for the titer, but the doctor read the titer as being 112 and they said, no, he was dyslexic, and it was really 121.
Speaker AMy parents actually sued for my birthday.
Speaker AThe alternative would have been abortion.
Speaker AAnd so, you know, it was considered a wrongful birth.
Speaker AYou know, then they say wrong for life.
Speaker ABut, you know, that was kind of.
Speaker AThe argument was that they could have aborted me if the doctor hadn't been dyslexic.
Speaker ASo, yeah, I have lots of opinions about that as well.
Speaker BThere's a lot going on there.
Speaker AYeah.
Speaker ASo.
Speaker ABut I.
Speaker ASo I started doing a mage.
Speaker ABut of course, because I had been told my whole life that the whole reason I had all of these physical challenges was because my parents hadn't taken the.
Speaker AThe rubella immunization.
Speaker AAnd so, of course, I've now become very familiar with Dr.
Speaker ASteven Lanka and who won't even allow himself to be called a virologist.
Speaker AHe's denounced his entire field and all his degrees, and he actually brought it to the Supreme Court of Germany and nobody could disprove him.
Speaker AI think he.
Speaker AAnd he put up a lot of money for it.
Speaker AHe said, I'm willing to pay anybody who can disprove me.
Speaker AI think it was Brady.
Speaker AI might be mispronouncing, pronouncing it, but who.
Speaker AOn a technicality.
Speaker ABut yeah, he basically, it's the.
Speaker ANobody's been able to disprove him.
Speaker AAnd so all that just to say that I started really researching, and I don't necessarily believe that that story is 100% accurate, but that narrative is what needs to be promulgated in order to sell the, you know, the fear to sell the solution, which is the jabs.
Speaker AAnd so I ended up writing a bunch of articles.
Speaker AYou know, one of them, which I wrote, is a speculative piece on shedding.
Speaker AAnd I was really hoping to be proven completely wrong.
Speaker AI, you know, at the time I was doing a publication was called Truth Matters.
Speaker AIt was actually Alithia themada Truth Matters in Greek.
Speaker ABut so I.
Speaker ABut we.
Speaker AOne of my.
Speaker AOne of my business partners on that passed away actually because of jabs.
Speaker AInterestingly enough, she was in the military and she had never had.
Speaker AShe had never been to A doctor, like, in her life.
Speaker AVery, very healthy.
Speaker AShe was one of 11.
Speaker AAnd.
Speaker AYeah.
Speaker AHad never been to a doctor, and she had gotten away with two years.
Speaker AAnd then they found out, and when they found out, they insisted within two weeks that she get caught up.
Speaker AAnd within two weeks of that, she developed cancer.
Speaker AAnd the interesting thing is all the doctors she saw were very honest with her, that that's what triggered it.
Speaker AThey did tell.
Speaker AI mean, apparently she had a gene, she was predisposed to this type of cancer, but they told her without that, those injections, that she probably would never have the epigenetic expression.
Speaker AWhat?
Speaker BYeah, we're sorry.
Speaker BCatch it next time.
Speaker AOops.
Speaker BOh, my goodness.
Speaker AYeah, if there's a.
Speaker AYeah.
Speaker AReincarnation maybe, but I don't know about that.
Speaker BNo, I don't want that.
Speaker BBut, yeah, that's.
Speaker BThat's.
Speaker BOh, the medical field.
Speaker BThe medical field, yes.
Speaker AI wrote on Shedding, which I was really hoping would be disproven.
Speaker AAnd it was a speculative piece.
Speaker AI made it very clear it was speculative press, But I had 39 sources in it, so it was very well researched.
Speaker AAnd, yeah, so I now have it up on my.
Speaker AMy website.
Speaker ABut at the time, like, it had gotten circulated and a lot of doctors were passing it around, and it has very much been vindicated, unfortunately.
Speaker ASo.
Speaker BOh, my goodness.
Speaker BYou know, I guess I was very happy to leave a lot of these discussions in the rearview mirror.
Speaker BI know there's a lot of conversation.
Speaker BI think it's a valid conversation about, like, hey, why has no one been held accountable for any of this?
Speaker BAre we just going to forget that there was a whole two years that the whole world was shut down and we were forced to let go of our lives and everything?
Speaker BAnd I have.
Speaker BI mean, I collected folders full of information during that whole time, undermining the narrative.
Speaker BAnd I could still present some of the stuff.
Speaker BAnd it just seems like there's a collective desire to kind of move on.
Speaker BLike, hey, you know, that was a big.
Speaker BA big L for civilization, but we'll be okay.
Speaker BBut then as we talk about these things, Things, it's like, I don't know where the reckoning is going to come from because it's so serious.
Speaker BThe things that were done to all of us that I understand that we're anxious to forget it.
Speaker BI surely am.
Speaker BAnd where does accountability start to come in for these disasters?
Speaker AYeah, I don't know that there will be.
Speaker AI know a lot of people really want to see retribution and justice and understand that, but I think that Even if we do, it's going to be kind of like Nuremberg.
Speaker AAnd Nuremberg, to me was not a success.
Speaker AWas basically the COVID for Operation Paperclip, where we just settled in all of these scientists, right.
Speaker AAnd now we just put them under the American intelligence programs.
Speaker AAnd I think it just.
Speaker AI don't really think it ever ended, but, you know, that's.
Speaker AObviously, I can't prove that, but.
Speaker ASo there's a lot of evidence to indicate that I'm right, though.
Speaker AAnd I think Annie Jacobson's done some really good work in that arena.
Speaker BBut when you say you don't think it ever ended, what do you mean?
Speaker BDo you mean specifically like Nazi National Socialist research or is that what you.
Speaker BI've encountered some of the research that.
Speaker AThey were doing, a lot of the bioweapons research they were doing.
Speaker AI think in many ways NASA was a cover for it.
Speaker AI think the American Cancer association was also a really big kind of like, you know, funnel for the money, but a cover front.
Speaker AYeah, there's so much money that gets funneled into it, and, you know, people can argue about what they actually accomplish, but, I mean, the American Cancer association just go to their own website and of their own admission, they will say that we, you know, we've received these exorbitant funds.
Speaker AI haven't seen it recently, but I remember the last time I was looking into it, I mean, it was like hundreds and hundreds of millions, like billions of dollars, you know, and they.
Speaker AThey were saying how, you know what, we.
Speaker AWe haven't really been able to make a dent, but, you know, if you give us more money, we'll solve the problem.
Speaker AAnd I'm sorry, I don't have the exact stats, so don't quote me on how much, but it's an exorbitant amount of money.
Speaker AUm, and yeah, they.
Speaker AOf their own ambition, though.
Speaker AThey're like, we.
Speaker AWe have not been able to even make a dent in this problem.
Speaker ABut, yeah, don't worry, keep sending us more money.
Speaker ASo what exactly are you doing?
Speaker AAnd I think there's a lot of evidence to indicate that they're not trying to solve the problem because there's so many doctors who have, you know, come up with all sorts of great, wonderful things.
Speaker AAnd I don't know how much I can say here, so I'll just say great, wonderful things.
Speaker AAnd, you know, they've been horrifically punished as a result.
Speaker BSo.
Speaker BYes.
Speaker BSo a good friend of mine, Tim.
Speaker BShout out Tim, He.
Speaker BHe is.
Speaker BHe's big into medical freedom, holistic health.
Speaker BHe's been a friend for about a decade or more actually at this point.
Speaker BAnd I remember back when Covid started to happen back, we're talking like February, March of 2020.
Speaker BI remember like, you know, we're, we're both looking at this.
Speaker BHe, he lives in Australia, so it's, you know, more or less straight up tyranny there.
Speaker BBut we were both looking at that and being like, oh yeah, we know exactly where this is going.
Speaker BYou know, you could see right away like this is.
Speaker BBut we even, we didn't know at the time where the jabs were going to be, you know, what was going to be introduced to us at the time.
Speaker BAnd it's just to see how far it's all evolved.
Speaker BAnd again, no accountability and how these are not problems that anyone is actually, genuinely trying to solve.
Speaker BThe system is merely, it's merely trying to propagate itself at our expense.
Speaker BAnd the injustice is staggering when you see it that.
Speaker AYeah.
Speaker AAnd I mean, I think the whole medical freedom movement unfortunately was really in many ways an OP just to move the overtone window.
Speaker BReally.
Speaker AYeah, I do, absolutely.
Speaker ASo most people traditionally, historically just look at it from this perspective.
Speaker AMost people, historically speaking who were opposed to, you know, who supported My Body, My Choice, not, not in the pro abortion sense, but you know, they, they were typically actually on multiple left.
Speaker AIt was a lot of like the crunchy moms and you know.
Speaker AYeah, they were just typically on the left and they were into more holistic kind of medicine.
Speaker AAnd what happened in 2020 with the medical freedom movement came in and suddenly they put a right wing banner on them.
Speaker AThey kind of like put a little bow around them and said, you're now whatever, conservative, Republican, libertarian, they.
Speaker ABut they put them in the right wing camp.
Speaker AAnd a lot of those people were actually very confused.
Speaker AThey're like, I've always been on the left, I've always voted Democrat, I'm a hardcore leftist, whatever, you know, whatever they said.
Speaker AAnd they were very confused by it.
Speaker ABut a lot of them said, okay, I guess I'm a right winger now and I think it was a way to shift the Overton window.
Speaker AAnd this again is speculation.
Speaker ASo nobody hold me to this.
Speaker AWhen I have a theory, I'll let you know it's a theory.
Speaker ABut my theory is that actually I think that the Knights of Malta were behind it because let's go.
Speaker AThe Knights of Malta actually started as the Knights of Hospitalier.
Speaker AAnd even today they're exoteric veneer is that they are a medical charity organization.
Speaker AAnd so I think, but they often operate through the, you know, quote unquote, right wing wing political because they are tied to like militaristic order.
Speaker ASo typically the different various occult.
Speaker AI, at least I look at it from, you know, kind of the left tends to be more divine, feminine and they operate through, you know, they're very emotionally charged.
Speaker AIt's more about worshiping like Mother Earth, Gaia religion.
Speaker AAnd then the right wing tends to be, you know, that was a whole, there was that whole authoritarian test, right?
Speaker AAnd so it tends to be more paternal, patriarchal, more authoritarian, disciplinarian and militaristic.
Speaker AAnd so they tend to operate that way.
Speaker AThat's a part of their, how they infiltrate from what I've seen.
Speaker AAnd so, and the nice Malta, you know, that we would follow.
Speaker ASo I, that, that is my theory.
Speaker AAgain, I haven't found the, I don't think I'm ever going to find the smoking gun to prove that, but it would make sense.
Speaker AAnd I think they're constantly, always shifting the Overton window.
Speaker AWhat do we see today?
Speaker AToday we see people who, a year ago on the right wing who would have never bought an electric vehicle because they didn't buy into the climate narrative.
Speaker AAnd what are we seeing now that Elon works for the Trump administration.
Speaker AThe people are rushing out to buy Tesl cheering these electric vehicles.
Speaker ALike, what happened to you?
Speaker ASo here we go again.
Speaker AThe Overton Window shifts.
Speaker BIt's so wild, especially because Elon was the hero for buying electric, for propagating electric vehicles.
Speaker BAnd now the left is like going back and buying gas, guzzling SUVs as a rebellion against Elon.
Speaker BIt's like, okay, fine, let's just look at this for a second.
Speaker BOkay, you don't like Elon, but didn't you just spend the, the past 30 years saying how much gas and climate change and all that?
Speaker BAnd so you're going to abandon all of your principles that you've been pushing from An Inconvenient Truth onward, basically.
Speaker BAnd, and, and do this out of hatred for Elon Musk.
Speaker BLike, of course.
Speaker BDo you, do you have any core at all?
Speaker BIs there anyone home in.
Speaker BIt's, it's, it's baffling to me.
Speaker AIt's all identity politics.
Speaker AIt's all cult of personality.
Speaker AI, I just tweeted this actually, but right before we got on, I said I just wish spend like a fraction of the time they do, you know, worshiping or vilifying cult of personality, engaging in actual ideas.
Speaker AIf they just spent like a fraction of the time Engaging in the ideas themselves.
Speaker ALike, I don't care about the people most of the time.
Speaker AWe don't know the people most of the time.
Speaker APeople are, you know, worshiping or vilifying people they've never met based on some online Persona.
Speaker AIt's a Persona, right?
Speaker AThat's the reason it's Persona, not their personality, not their character's Persona.
Speaker ASo this is a facade that you were seeing that has been marketed to you strategically, by the way.
Speaker AAnd you know, I think people are just so deracinated from themselves sense of self that they, you know, they start to.
Speaker AThey want to feel a sense of belonging and they just, they anchor to things and so they're really easily swayed and, you know, pushed into these various cults and.
Speaker AYeah, very frustrating to watch.
Speaker BI'm so glad that you see that because coming from the manosphere, that's exactly what I saw saw was small little mini cults of personality.
Speaker BYou know, we and our little cult of personality in this particular topic around masculinity, we have the secret knowledge and follow me for more secret knowledge.
Speaker BAnd only I will tell you what to do.
Speaker BAnd don't listen to that other guy who's saying the exact same thing in a different way.
Speaker BAnd men paying to get closer to the guru and like an understanding that the masses who were involved in the this, they weren't engaging with ideas.
Speaker BThey couldn't pop out of the little circle.
Speaker BIt would be team versus team of man versus man.
Speaker BAnd I was like, what are we doing?
Speaker BAnd then I see it now on such a larger level, especially from people who self identify as intellectuals or I'm informed and I'm going to rally behind my guy and you rally behind.
Speaker BStop it.
Speaker BQuit it.
Speaker AI think so few people actually read anything today, I think, and we live in a soundbite culture.
Speaker AAnd so.
Speaker ABut here's the thing.
Speaker AReading is part of how people create inner monologues.
Speaker AI've recently learned that apparently a large percentage of population actually doesn't have an inner monologue, which is terrifying, like literally, because, I mean, that's how you, you can program somebody so easily if they don't have an internal monologue.
Speaker ABut I think that part of, you know, identity is your thought process processes.
Speaker AAnd it's so intrinsic to being human that people do crave it, even though that so few do it these days.
Speaker AAnd reading is part of how you develop that internal monologue and how you develop that thought process, that process of thinking that is just, you know, it's like essential to being human.
Speaker AI think and consciousness and developing your consciousness.
Speaker ASo I think that what's happened is because people don't spend time doing that, but yet they crave it.
Speaker AThey get a little taste of it from these pop intellectuals and then they think they've done the thinking themselves.
Speaker ASo what happens is it becomes voyeurism, voyeuristic intellectualism.
Speaker ASo it's almost like you watch, like when you watch a movie or play or listen to, you know, a piece of any kind of art form really.
Speaker AI mean, it had the power to, you know, effectuate change on a cellular level.
Speaker AAnd.
Speaker ABut it.
Speaker AWhat it also does.
Speaker AAnd part of the reason it's so powerful, and this is part of why it's powerful for propaganda, is because when you watch it, people will allow themselves to have an emotional experience that they might not be able to access otherwise.
Speaker ASo like a very.
Speaker AWe'll just take the kind of stereotype, like the manosphere, you know, a very macho kind of guy who never allow himself to cry in public, maybe never allows himself to cry at all, even in front of his family or, you know, but go see some sort of a, you know, really tear jerker movie and then like starts bawling.
Speaker AAnd that's so cathartic, right?
Speaker ABecause even the really macho guy has emotions and sometimes just needs that release.
Speaker AAnd so, you know, that's the power of, you know, an art form.
Speaker ABut now we're seeing this through intellectual lecturer lectures, even the podcast sphere.
Speaker AAnd people think they've actually done the thinking themselves, but they've heard somebody often just bloviate for a very long time and they think that they've engaged in this really deep intellectual thought processes, but they haven't worked anything out for themselves.
Speaker AThemselves.
Speaker AIt's been voyeuristic.
Speaker AAnd I think that's a huge part of the problem.
Speaker AAnd so now people end up responding and reacting to that because it was so emotional for them that they align and they identify with that experience, but without having developed their own inner monologue about the ideas themselves.
Speaker BVery well said.
Speaker BVery well said.
Speaker BAnd as a podcast host myself, I hope that I encourage my listeners.
Speaker BListeners to go read books for yourselves.
Speaker BThink about these issues for yourselves, and please don't let me do the thinking for you.
Speaker BBut it's really important.
Speaker BAnd I will often get into arguments with people over audiobooks and people get super worked up over this.
Speaker BWhen I say that audiobooks are not the same as reading, what do you mean I have to do this when I do this?
Speaker BNo, sit down, pick up a real book for exactly.
Speaker BThe reason that you describe is that to sit down and read a physical print book, not a cube.
Speaker BI don't necessarily have a problem with Kindles, but I think there's something very different about a physical print book.
Speaker BSit down, especially because it's not doing backlight in your eyes, but sit down and reading that, and that helps you develop the inner monologue, think about things at your own pace.
Speaker BYou're not just passively allowing words to wash over you.
Speaker BAnd people get really upset when I say that.
Speaker BBut the way that you learn to think for yourself is you have to chew on very substantial material inside your own head and that forces you to think as opposed to letting the narrator do the thing.
Speaker BThinking for you.
Speaker AExactly.
Speaker AI mean, it's a muscle like anything else.
Speaker AI mean, you have to use it or you lose it.
Speaker AAnd, you know, I think there's a time and a place for an audiobook.
Speaker AWe live in a very busy world and, you know, I think it's better than nothing if you're able to do, if you do long drives or you're a manual laborer.
Speaker AI mean, I know a lot of like truck drivers are some of the most like, awake and knowledgeable people because they listen to books and podcasts all day, of course.
Speaker ASo, you know, they definitely have the time and a place.
Speaker ABut there is something very different about actively engaging, engaging with the visual written material.
Speaker AAnd I mean, it goes even further if you take notes or you highlight or you, you know, even I put sticky marks, you know, but now you're engaging with the material, it's no longer just being fed to you.
Speaker AAnd I think that's the problem.
Speaker AWe, we live in a world where so few people are able to formulate their own ideas and opinions because they've been spoon fed.
Speaker AAnd oftentimes when things are spoon fed, sometimes it's not even intentional.
Speaker ARight.
Speaker AIt's just you're, you're going to be, you're taking in the inherent bias that might not even be intentionally, you know, malignant.
Speaker ABut of course it's also a very, very great tool for propaganda.
Speaker BSo, yeah, I mean, you have to.
Speaker BToday we all have to protect our cognitive abilities.
Speaker BWe can, it's very easy to get in the hypno trance of a TV show or a movie or a podcast or, or social media.
Speaker BRight.
Speaker BI think there's so much in our environment that wants to literally entrance us.
Speaker BIt's like put us in a trance, lull us into passivity and video games.
Speaker BI don't think that that's inherently bad in and of itself.
Speaker BI think escapism, entertainment, all of these things are fine.
Speaker BBut when it becomes your default way of life, and then when you throw in artificial intelligence or large language models to do a lot of the thinking for us, or I'm not going to read this book, I'm just going to have AI give me a digestive, that muscle starts to get very weak.
Speaker BAnd it's so ironic that we're talking in an age where you have, like, RFK Jr.
Speaker BAnd, you know, in the Department of Health and Human Services, I think, you know, being so fit and working out and it's like at the same time where people are focusing on the gym, they're not working out in the mental gym as hard as they used to.
Speaker BI don't know what to make about that.
Speaker ABut yeah, no, absolutely.
Speaker AAnd the AI is a huge, huge problem.
Speaker ASo I think it can be a tool.
Speaker AThe tool inherently is not evil.
Speaker BAbsolutely.
Speaker ABut my biggest concern is with children who are growing up with this.
Speaker ASo like you were saying, outsourcing your cognitive faculties to the AI, now you're trusting the AI to do it for you.
Speaker AI think, you know, it's like the old adage, you have to know the rules before you can break them.
Speaker ASo if you have already developed your cognition and you use it as a tool, I think it can actually be a very helpful tool.
Speaker BYes, agreed.
Speaker AYou know, and I think it is inevitable.
Speaker AUnfortunately, this.
Speaker AThis is the age we're in.
Speaker AThey're going to advance this AI.
Speaker AIt is already doubling, like, per month, every three months.
Speaker AIt's doubling in its capacity and speed, and it's kind of insane.
Speaker AIt's a little mind blowing and I mean, kind of exciting and kind of terrifying, all those things roughed into one.
Speaker ABut my concern is how much of it is being utilized in the schools.
Speaker AAnd the children don't have fully developed frontal lobes.
Speaker AThey're, you know, they're first learning how to develop their own critical thinking skills, and they're already outsourcing all of that.
Speaker ASo it's like being given a calculator before you've learned how to do basic arithmetic.
Speaker AMost of us have.
Speaker AHave very significantly deteriorated our math skills thanks to the calculator.
Speaker AI'm speaking for myself there, you know.
Speaker AYeah.
Speaker ASo I've outsourced a lot of that and, you know, I'm very aware of it.
Speaker ABut, you know, we make choices, and as an adult, I think that's fine to do, but I learned how to do, and I was actually very good at math.
Speaker AWhen I was little, you know, but so at least I had the, I had that foundational development.
Speaker AAnd I think that's so important for us to recognize, I think for parents to understand that.
Speaker AAnd, and you know, it's not for me to tell people what to do, it's just to have that awareness when you're thinking about what's best for your children.
Speaker AAnd you know, my personal opinion, I think giving them the technology and those tools before they develop their own is potentially very pernicious.
Speaker BOh yeah, I have a Christian audience and homeschoolers are a big part of that.
Speaker BAnd I think homeschooling is probably one of the most important things that awaken aware parents of any faith background really can do is I think because that gives them the opportunity to say, hey child, I'm not going to dumb this down for you.
Speaker BI'm going to give you this problem and you're going to have to work your way through it without the use of AIDS that other kids will have.
Speaker BAnd yes, of course it's difficult, but you run that forward a number of years and you have kids who can think, not just think for themselves, but they can think, period.
Speaker BThey can reason, they can do math, they can digest complex ideas, ideas in books and I don't know actually what that does to humanity.
Speaker BThis is a question that I had heard someone articulate a couple years ago, maybe that when you have this big split coming where you have families that are going towards a more natural, holistic health, homeschooling, filtered water, you name it, right?
Speaker BAnd they're raising their kids with this, no jabs, et cetera, they're raising their kids with this.
Speaker BAnd then you have the, the call them the normie population who are, you know, consuming factory made food and public school and screens, especially screens for young kids.
Speaker BAnd the cognitive impact of that on a young child who gets addicted to a screen at three or five years old, I don't think we can measure the devastation from that child's potential.
Speaker BBut when you have those two paths and there's really kind of only two of them, or they're certainly divergent, emerging, how do you avoid creating a two tier society where you just have one generation of kids that are just so much more capable than their cohort.
Speaker BAnd Covid began that where you had many kids who was, what was it?
Speaker BLanguage was so drastically impacted by kids that were, that went to online learning.
Speaker BI don't know what we do about that, but that's alone.
Speaker BYeah, yeah, exactly, exactly.
Speaker AYeah.
Speaker AWell, I think that there's a lot to unpack in that.
Speaker ABecause what's going on with the.
Speaker AI don't know how familiar you are with the work I've done on the school choice issue.
Speaker AI think I've done not.
Speaker AOkay.
Speaker AI've done over 30 shows on it, maybe more.
Speaker AI've lost count at this point.
Speaker AI've battled in my own state.
Speaker AThere are two topics that happen to be my governor's pet projects and apparently those are the two.
Speaker AI've been a thorn in his side, so I don't think I'm their favorite person.
Speaker ABut his two pet projects are this school choice initiative, which is a very long agenda and then the conservation easements.
Speaker ASo the conservation easements were a part of this bigger agenda, which was the natural asset companies.
Speaker AI did like a, you know, I called it an emergency broadcast.
Speaker AI actually had a whole show show prepared for my radio show.
Speaker AAnd then I was like, I like dropped all of it.
Speaker AI said I have to do this.
Speaker AThis is like, you know, if I'm going to do a radio show, it has to be something, you know, this is too important to let go.
Speaker ASo the natural asset companies, they did get rescinded.
Speaker AThey withdrew the proposal, but they've just renamed it.
Speaker AIt's now being called the Sustained Act.
Speaker AThey're not going to let that agenda go because they think they're going to make upwards of $5 quadrillion on this.
Speaker AI'm sorry, sorry.
Speaker B$5 quadrillion dollars.
Speaker AI know it's a number you can't fathom.
Speaker ANobody can.
Speaker ASo that, yeah, you might as well just say infinite.
Speaker AIt's just infinity amount of dollars.
Speaker AYeah, they want to quantify like the air we breathe, the water we drink, everything.
Speaker AYeah.
Speaker ASo this is all gonna be done through, you know, carbon sequestration and you know, the carbon taxing and the, you know, offsets.
Speaker ACarbon offsets.
Speaker AThis is all under the, you know, the climate lie, which they've admitted it.
Speaker AI have it in my.
Speaker AThe preview of my book.
Speaker AThe Hegel's Dialectic Agnostic, Jacob's Ladder and a Machinery of Control.
Speaker AThe preview is up on my substack and yeah, I'm gonna be pausing from some recording.
Speaker AI'll still be uploading episodes next month but I'm gonna try and get this book finished so I can put out the pre order and publish it.
Speaker ABut I have several more chapters outlined that.
Speaker AI'll finish it up.
Speaker ABut right now I have a preview up on my slipstack and in there I have the quote from the Club of Ro, their Global Revolution document, which was 1992, saying that their Limits to Growth document, which was 20 years earlier, you'll probably even find it for you.
Speaker ABut in 20 years earlier, they said that they needed to find a common enemy for man to rally behind.
Speaker AAnd so they decided it was like, you know, the fact that we pollute all the air and the water and, you know, we are the problem, essentially.
Speaker AThat's why we're the carbon they want to reduce.
Speaker AAnd they.
Speaker ASo they essentially said that the, you know, the enemy, if they found a common enemy, they could get everybody on board with this narrative.
Speaker AAnd what did they decide the common enemy is?
Speaker AThey say, like, the enemy of humanity is man himself.
Speaker AThis is why we're the carbon they want to reduce.
Speaker ASo they've admitted that this is a complete lie, and it's a farce.
Speaker ABut it is a great narrative.
Speaker AIt's very compelling for especially people who are very susceptible to, you know, more emotional kind of manipulation and want to be perceived as compassionate.
Speaker AThis is what I call the compassion trap.
Speaker AThis is where, you know, they weaponize compassion, which I think is one of the.
Speaker AThey're exploiting what I think are one of the best attributes of human nature and weaponizing against humans themselves.
Speaker ABut this is also, you know, this is also part of how identity politics works, right?
Speaker ABecause you think about compassion typically as being a more feminine trait.
Speaker ANot to say that men aren't compassionate, you know, they definitely are, obviously, but, you know, you think of it as being a more feminine trait.
Speaker AWhy?
Speaker AThis is biological because women need to be attuned to their offspring.
Speaker AThey have to have compassion, you know, for their offspring.
Speaker ACompassion is derived.
Speaker AAnd I talk about this in, in the book as well, the origins of the word empathy and how empathy is the first stage of compassion, right?
Speaker AThis idea of being able to, you know, feel somebody else's feelings without having the direct experience.
Speaker ASo it's not sympathy, it's being able to relate to it.
Speaker ABut compassion takes it a step further and now says that you want to alleviate that person's suffering.
Speaker AAnd so, of course, that's what you'd want to do for your offspring.
Speaker ABut what happens now if you are a threat to that woman's offspring, they're not compassionate to you.
Speaker AThey become vicious mama bears.
Speaker AAnd that is what we see with all of these group identity politics, right?
Speaker AYou have these, you know, gnostic elect leaders who are, you know, defending their group, and then the groups start fighting against each other.
Speaker AAnd this is much more effective because much easier to get groups to fight against each other than to get individuals.
Speaker AAgain, you know, when you're looking at somebody in the eye and you see their human humanity, it's much harder not to say that people don't fight.
Speaker AYou know, one on one they do, but it's much easier to get groups to, you know, create warring factions.
Speaker ASo.
Speaker ABut yeah, so they're using this narrative of the climate agenda to rally people behind this huge.
Speaker AWhat they think is going to be a huge money making.
Speaker AYeah.
Speaker ATo commodify the air we breathe.
Speaker ASo it was the SEC who partnered with the ieg, which is the Intrinsic Exchange group, to put a proposal up on New York Stock Exchange to create a new classification of companies called natural Asset companies.
Speaker AAnd part of that would have been part of the vehicle to be able to usurp the land.
Speaker AIt's part of a 30 by 30 agenda, which Biden renamed the America the Beautiful because, you know, that sounds much nicer.
Speaker AAnd so.
Speaker ABut through the conservation easements they have something called ecosystem management services which you would be able to, they would actually outsource the control over the land that you actually own.
Speaker AAnd so all this to say, in my state, that was a big initiative, the conservation easement.
Speaker AAnd my governor was very much on board with these and still pushing them today.
Speaker AI had one of the legislators brought me in to do a presentation to the legislators and he blames me for being kicked out.
Speaker AHe said that it was very effective, they were pushing back.
Speaker AAnd I told him that that was not my goal and I felt terr about it.
Speaker AAnd I thought he was kind of kidding at first, but I was one of, I was his second guest on his podcast.
Speaker AHe actually brought it up twice in the podcast saying that I was the reason that he was voted out.
Speaker ASo it's that one.
Speaker AAnd then the school choice issue.
Speaker AAnd the school choice issue is of course, this is a long running agenda.
Speaker AThis goes all the way back several, several decades.
Speaker AI, I would actually argue it's about, you know, it's over a century old with the St.
Speaker ALouis Hegelians and the, you know, Prussian model of education that was exported to the United States after the Battle of Jena in 18o.
Speaker AYou know, they lost the battle and they decided they lost the battles because the soldiers rebelled, because they were critical thinkers.
Speaker AAnd so they had to create a system that bred for compliance and obedience and, you know, bred out all the critical thinkers.
Speaker AAnd so that is what they have been working very diligently to deliberately dumb down America.
Speaker ABut Charlotte Iserbeat was a whistleblower under the Reagan Administration on the best project.
Speaker AAnd the best project was tied to exactly what we were talking about earlier with the.
Speaker AAll the.
Speaker AThe tech ed.
Speaker ARight.
Speaker AAnd so she was kind of blowing the whistle on all of that.
Speaker AHer father and her grandfather were both members of Skull and Bones.
Speaker AI think she was.
Speaker AShe got away with a little bit more in terms of her whistleblowing than she might have otherwise, but she also had all the receipts.
Speaker AAnd she was very instrumental in helping Anthony Sutton with his research on how the order controls education.
Speaker AShe gave him like the actual black book kind of, you know, logs.
Speaker AAnd so this is agenda has been in the works for so long and through her books and I recommend people getting the unabridged.
Speaker AIt's very long, very thick, huge book.
Speaker AThe Deliberate Dumbing down of America.
Speaker AAlong with John Taylor Gatto, who was very vocal against compulsory education.
Speaker AI think he's absolutely right.
Speaker AThere's nothing in the Constitution that stipulates compulsory education.
Speaker AOur founding fathers did not have formal education.
Speaker AMost of them, and I would argue most of them, were far more erudite than people we see in higher education today.
Speaker ASo that's my own opinion.
Speaker AAnd yeah, I don't think it was very favorable when I said that, but I think it's kind of true.
Speaker ABut yeah, in her book she goes through how they were going to push this school choice narrative through the political right and that that's where they would get it done.
Speaker AAnd I think that's what we're obviously seeing that today.
Speaker AI mean, Trump has now, you know, national.
Speaker AHe said he's advocating for it nationally, which is blatantly unconstitutional.
Speaker BThe school choice program sounds like a euphemism for not having a maybe.
Speaker BFor not having a choice.
Speaker BSo maybe you can unpack the school choice program.
Speaker BFor those who haven't heard of it.
Speaker AVery clever marketing.
Speaker AI always say we should all have their marketing team because we would be so successful.
Speaker AWe'd have these great brands.
Speaker AI want the marketing team for the UN personally.
Speaker ABut yeah, I don't know what you have to sign to get that.
Speaker ASo maybe I don't want it, but I'm just saying they're pretty good at it.
Speaker BExpensive.
Speaker AIt's pretty expensive.
Speaker ABut yeah, choice.
Speaker AWho can argue against choice?
Speaker AIt sounds wonderful.
Speaker ABut it's government choice.
Speaker AAnd now I fell for it.
Speaker AWhen I was in sixth grade, I actually created a board, just start school choice.
Speaker ABecause I was a.
Speaker AI went to a very small.
Speaker AI grew up in a very small town that didn't have its own high school.
Speaker AAnd so the town next to Me had a high school, but it was not, you know, the school was not a quality school in any regard.
Speaker ALike it wasn't safe, it wasn't good education.
Speaker AAnd I had friends who went to these other schools that were actually in closer proxim geographically.
Speaker AAnd so I didn't understand.
Speaker AYou know, I was 12 years old, I kept saying to my parents, why can't I just go to one of those schools?
Speaker AThat doesn't make sense.
Speaker AAnd so I started a board to, you know, advocate for school choice.
Speaker AAnd six years later they implemented it.
Speaker AI of course, knew nothing about the long range agenda at the time.
Speaker AAnd I thought this was just, you know, why can't my parents decide where I go to school?
Speaker AIf it's the same distance, they should have some sort of a voucher.
Speaker AThey're paying taxes.
Speaker AThis makes sense.
Speaker ABut I had no idea that this is really an agenda to create, put every school under government control, that is to make all schools government run.
Speaker AThis is a execution of really Alice Bailey's plan that she lays out in her book Education in the New Age.
Speaker AThis was the inspiration for Robert Mueller, who was for 40 years worked for the UN.
Speaker AHe was Secretary General of the UN and he wrote his 2000 ideas.
Speaker AI think it became 4000 ideas.
Speaker AHe fancied himself quite the visionary.
Speaker AI guess so, yes, he studied under Youth Thant, who was a direct disciple of Teilhard de Chardin.
Speaker AAnd he very much, you know, wanted to execute those visions of helping to create this noosphere.
Speaker AThe education system that he designed was called the World Core Curriculum.
Speaker AAnd this was directly predicated on the works of Alice Bailey, you know, who was a disciple of Madame Blavatsky, who was one of the original members of the Theosophical Society.
Speaker AAnd she was the founder of Lucius Trust, which of course, arcane school.
Speaker AThe Goodwill servers.
Speaker AYeah, and triangles.
Speaker AAnd this is.
Speaker ALucius Trust is a direct consultancy of the UN to this day.
Speaker AIt was originally called Lucifer Publishing.
Speaker AAlso Madam Blavatsky had a magazine called Lucifer Magazine as well.
Speaker ASo it gives you a little indication of where their views were.
Speaker ABut yeah, she had laid out in her education New Age, what the plans for education would be to create planetics, which is what Robert Mueller outlines in his 2000 ideas.
Speaker AHe keeps talking.
Speaker AI think it ended up being 4,000, but I don't remember.
Speaker AIt was a lot of ideas and it's pretty long, but I think it started as 2000.
Speaker AAnd he says the word Planet X over and over again.
Speaker AAnd this is predicated on Alice Bailey's Vision.
Speaker ASo he creates the world Core curriculum, which is designed to create global citizens.
Speaker AAnd then of course from there, the United States developed what is called Common Core and Charlotte Isabit calls it Communist core.
Speaker AI think it's much more aptly put.
Speaker ABut yeah, this is the vision to execute that in the United States.
Speaker AAnd what we're seeing now with, of course, Cassel Sel under the Fetzer Institute, all the social emotional learning stuff and all the tech ed stuff, this is, is all just carrying out literally Bailey's plan to create a one world religion and a one world governance.
Speaker BI literally just heard about social emotional learning and the roots of that, like two weeks ago and someone sent me a substack article because I spent 20 years in the New Age.
Speaker BSo they're talking about John Cabot Zinn and Thich Nhat Hanh and all this.
Speaker BI'm like, this is the foundations of social.
Speaker BIt's explicit.
Speaker BThese are the foundations of social emotional learning.
Speaker BLike Buddhism, you know, Eastern mysticism is in their own writings, the foundation of this thing.
Speaker BI was like, wait, what?
Speaker ASo if I were, you know, an Eastern mysticist, I'd be very upset with the New Agers and Theosophists.
Speaker ANo, I would.
Speaker ABecause they butchered it.
Speaker AThey cherry pick.
Speaker ASo it's a synchronous religion.
Speaker ARight.
Speaker AAlthough they say it's not a religion.
Speaker AThey say it's a perennial philosophy.
Speaker AYou know, Aldous Huxley has a book on the perennial philosophy.
Speaker AThis is, that's what, you know, Madame Blavatsky herself says.
Speaker ABut what they do is they take elements that are, that advance their agenda and their vision and they create a Theosophical soup.
Speaker AAnd really it's a re.
Speaker AYou know, it's a revised, revamped kind of rebranding of Neoplatonism, I think is really a good way to look at it.
Speaker ABut they incorporate a lot of aspects of Buddhism, Buddhism and Hinduism.
Speaker ABut it's not, you know, it doesn't maintain the integrity of either one of those.
Speaker AAnd that's not for me to tell people, oh, they should be a Buddhist or a Hindu.
Speaker AIt's just if I were like a Hindu or a Buddhist, I'd actually be very offended because they've appropriated like that's actually what they've done.
Speaker BYes.
Speaker ASyncretic.
Speaker AIt's not authentic, correct?
Speaker BYeah, no.
Speaker BThe New Age harvests.
Speaker BI have a big two hour presentation, two and a half hour presentation I did about this start of 2023 that I should probably.
Speaker BWe do more with.
Speaker BBut they harvest teachings out of various world traditions and syncretize them into this big antichrist religion.
Speaker BI mean that's really what it is because it expels biblical Christianity.
Speaker BIt has to.
Speaker BYou can't digest it.
Speaker BAnd so but what it does is.
Speaker BAnd then it hyper commercializes it.
Speaker BAnd so this began in the 1960s, the 1970s with the hippie generation, and then the 80s and the 90s.
Speaker BIt became what we now recognize as the New age.
Speaker BPaired with personal development and massive expenditures of money to create inner peace and financial fulfillment, etc.
Speaker BYou know, it's just essentially a prosperity gospel, using your mind as the, as a tool for manifesting it.
Speaker BAnd it's very seductive and it seems like it's globalist in nature and oh, but look, we've got some Buddhism stuff and we've got some Native American stuff and aren't we so progressive?
Speaker BAnd it's like you just end up getting lost in a swamp.
Speaker BAnd that would be be bad enough except for the influences that you just talked about of where this has fed into politics, economics, culture, education, geopolitics.
Speaker BAnd I don't think people recognize the gravity of just how significant the New age, and it's not even a great term, but how significant this theosophical influence has been on world and American culture today.
Speaker AYeah, absolutely.
Speaker AAnd I said, I mean the new age is kind of the rebranding.
Speaker AAnd a lot of that came out of this, as you said, it was like the 70s, 80s and a lot of that came from Stanford Research Institute.
Speaker AThey did the Changing Images of Man document.
Speaker ASo this was like, oh no, I haven't heard of this, like Lewis Harmon.
Speaker AAnd who else was involved?
Speaker AYou know, based on Joseph Campbell.
Speaker AAnd so they.
Speaker AAnd he was.
Speaker AHarman was the president of the Noetics, the ions.
Speaker ARight.
Speaker AInstitute for Noetic Sciences for two decades.
Speaker AAnd so Willis Harmon and Wo Mark, who did a lot of work on like remote viewing.
Speaker AAnd so, you know, then of course CIA did their project Stargate, but they did this Changing Images man document and it was a very long.
Speaker AI actually had the print out of it because to buy the book.
Speaker AThis is another one of those really expensive books.
Speaker ASo I don't have that kind of budget if anybody wants to support, you know, by all means.
Speaker ABut yeah, so it was very expensive, but that you can get the PDF online.
Speaker AAnd this is where they were doing these studies about change, changing the image of man.
Speaker ASo man's perception of man's self, so essentially changing consciousness of man.
Speaker AAnd they popularized those ideas in a book called the Aquarian conspiracy.
Speaker AWillis Harmon's secretary was Marilyn Ferguson and he used her name as a pseudonym for this book to popularize the ideas.
Speaker AAnd so that was.
Speaker ABut then really what we have now is the New Thought movement.
Speaker AAnd the new movement is just another iteration of the new age, but with a stronger focus on mentalism, which is the first principle of hermeticism.
Speaker ASo I mean, all of this really does go back to the ancient mystery schools.
Speaker AAnd now we've got.
Speaker AAnd I just did a video on this and I really wish more people would kind of pay attention to it.
Speaker AI know this is one of the problems, like I've always been kind of Cassandra, so, you know, nobody really likes Cassandra and nobody really pays attention to Cassandra.
Speaker ABut I did a video and I was so exhausted.
Speaker ASo I know it was not my most eloquent work and I will definitely do a write up on it, but I have not had time yet.
Speaker ABut on the Hegelian dial dialectic between Game B and the Dark Enlightenment, because this is really what I perceive as how, especially in the west, they're trying to foment the technological immunization of the eschaton so we can invite towards the Singularity.
Speaker AAnd both movements are really predicated on various elements of these ancient mysteries.
Speaker ASo they just have different flavors.
Speaker ASo you know, whether it's chocolate or vanilla, they're still both ice cream and they're both still part of the dialectical churn that is spiraling us towards the Singularity.
Speaker AThe Omega point is singularity and creating the noosphere.
Speaker AThey're doing it.
Speaker AThey have different visions of how to get there.
Speaker ABut ultimately that's what both of them are doing.
Speaker AAnd they are both very much so of course, the Game Be movement, a lot of them are more theosophical in their rhetoric.
Speaker AYou know, there was a split between that movement where.
Speaker AAnd Jim Rutt talks about this often where you know, some of the them were a little to woo woo was his words.
Speaker AAnd then others were more kind of hard scientists.
Speaker AThey were systems theorists, they were complexity theorists.
Speaker AYou know, he was at the Santa Fe Institute, chairman for over 10 years.
Speaker AAnd so, you know, he said he.
Speaker AThat's what he says.
Speaker ABut they did come back together and regroup.
Speaker AAnd so they speak in more theosophical language, at least, you know, appealing to, I call it really like they're the leftist of this technological imitation of the eschaton.
Speaker AAnd then we've got the Dark Enlightenment who are operating through.
Speaker AThrough the right as a vehicle.
Speaker AAnd of course, you know, we see this this is like the Elon Musk and the Peter Thiel and that crew.
Speaker ABut ultimately, they're using principles of this ancient mystery religion and the Cosmoerotic Humanists, who.
Speaker AA lot of them are tied in with this Game B stuff there.
Speaker AAnd you can find Cosmoerotic Humanism.
Speaker AIt's a First values, first Principles on Evolving perennialism and the 42 propositions on cosmoerotic Humanism.
Speaker AAnd you can find this@theofficeofthefuture.com because, you know, the best way to predict the future is to plan it.
Speaker AAnd so, of course, they are futurists.
Speaker AAnd this is David Temple.
Speaker AAnd I've now learned that it was a homage to him.
Speaker ABut the three of them, they used him as a pen name.
Speaker ABut the three of them comprise of David Temple.
Speaker AHe wasn't actually involved.
Speaker AIt's Mark Gaffney, Zach Stein, who was just inducted to Club of Rome last year, and who.
Speaker AKenneth Wilbur, of course, the integralist, you know, who based his whole theory of altitudes on, you know, Claire Graves spiral dynamics and the chakra system.
Speaker AAnd I did a whole thread on that.
Speaker ABut they're.
Speaker ABut they talk about this also, right?
Speaker AThey're.
Speaker AThey're, you know, they're constantly talking about, like, even Mark.
Speaker AMark Gaffney is doing his.
Speaker ALiterally reviving the Mystery School.
Speaker AHe has a whole, you know, Eros Mystery School, he calls it.
Speaker AHe says that Eros is not about sex.
Speaker AIt's a radical love affair with the universe.
Speaker ABut, you know, of course, we had.
Speaker AWhat do we have?
Speaker AEros and Eros and Thanatos.
Speaker AThis was Freud.
Speaker AAnd then we have Eros and Civilization.
Speaker AThis is Herbert Marcuse.
Speaker AYep.
Speaker AAnd now we've got, you know, Eros Mystery Schools.
Speaker AAnd he talks to RB Marcus, who's helping him promote this, and he says.
Speaker AYep.
Speaker AAnd he says, yeah, we have to revive the mysteries and we have to, you know, reinvigorate these ancient mystery.
Speaker ASo, yes, Eros Mystery School.
Speaker ASo they say it all goes back.
Speaker AAnd so it really is.
Speaker AI mean, people say it's a spiritual battle.
Speaker AI don't think they've realized there's really.
Speaker ARegardless of someone's worldview, there is actually an intellectual battle that's operating through, you know, it's epistemological, that is operating through the spiritual battle.
Speaker AAnd ultimately there I.
Speaker AThe reason I call it a technological immunization of the eschaton is because where I see it going is that there are the people who acknowledge that regardless of your belief system, you know, they acknowledge that there is a divine Benevolent creator that we are not that and that he has endowed us with this beautiful gift of free will.
Speaker AAnd free will is not an end.
Speaker AFree will is a vehicle, it's a conduit.
Speaker AIt allows us the potential for virtue and morality that we have to exercise it.
Speaker AAnd then there are the people who want to, you know, they want to obtain radical freedom.
Speaker AAnd radical freedom is an end.
Speaker AAnd this is, you know, very much revealed in, I think in like Crowley and Thelema do without wilt or Nietzschean will to power.
Speaker AThis is where we see these types of ideas manifest this kind of radical free will.
Speaker ABut it's very confusing to people because people hear freedom and they think that you're talking about free will, but they're not the same, at least from what I can discern.
Speaker AAnd so you've got this kind of battle and then you've got the people who, you know, are.
Speaker AThey operate their lives, they live in the hopes that they will exercise their free will and that they will, that their morale, they will attain some sort of virtue morality that will give them, grant them entrance to heaven, right?
Speaker AWhat, you know, whatever their beliefs are, but that they will, that heaven is not here on earth.
Speaker AAt least we can all, you know, at least they agree on that much.
Speaker AAnd then there are people who want to bring heaven, heaven on earth.
Speaker AAnd they can't do that in any means except for synthetic.
Speaker AAnd this is why we are now seeing these transhuman agendas, the biodigital convergence, the technocracy that they're trying to foment and ultimately achieve a singularity which then you will have this freedom, the liberation.
Speaker ABut it is a liberation of the collective.
Speaker AIt is not individual freedom.
Speaker AIt is a collective ends where they become co creators, essentially become God.
Speaker BI hope everyone can hear what I'm talking about when I say that you've mastered this material.
Speaker BBecause from my perspective, you just navigated through three or four completely disparate fields rather seamlessly to show the ways that they tie together.
Speaker BSo we went from social, emotional, learning to cosmohumanism to cosmoerotic humanism, which I heard about from Aubrey Marcus and which infuriates me.
Speaker BAnd then you navigate from there into transhumanism.
Speaker BAnd the thing is, I think anyone standing in a particular position would look at these as being separate movements, would say like, oh my gosh, I look over here and I see the transhumanists and I look over here and I see the new age romance hippies or whatever.
Speaker BAnd I look over here and I See psychedelics and I look that way and I see, you know, school choice.
Speaker BRight.
Speaker BOr whatever, Medical freedom.
Speaker BAnd the perspective is like, oh, these must all be separate or not.
Speaker BMedical freedom, freedom.
Speaker BWhat is opposed to medical freedom?
Speaker BMedical tyranny.
Speaker BI suppose these would all be separate, but ultimately they're all faces of the same thing and they're all linked and they have philosophical and in a sense, theological and spiritual foundations that they share.
Speaker BAnd it's different fronts in a war against humanity to put them into a position of enslavement to a two tier.
Speaker BUltimately it's kind of communist in a way, but even that doesn't quite capture it.
Speaker BIt's a two tier, occultic, esoteric, communist society.
Speaker BRight.
Speaker BAnd you say that to people or I say that to people and they're like, whatever.
Speaker BBut then it's like, hey, if you look at each individual, one of these strands and you just start pulling, you'll see that they all tie together.
Speaker AThey all tie together.
Speaker AYeah.
Speaker AI don't know.
Speaker AThat's a.
Speaker AI'm like, I'm a pattern recognizer.
Speaker ASo it's very hard for me not to see dots connect.
Speaker BSure.
Speaker AI often have to work really hard, hard to check myself like, okay, that might not be connected to that.
Speaker AAnd this is why I do read the primary sources, because I know that I tend to see connection.
Speaker AThat's just how my brain works.
Speaker ABut unfortunately, it doesn't matter which end I come in through.
Speaker AI'm like, wait, it is connected.
Speaker AAnd oftentimes even the people start to be connected.
Speaker AThat's what I find.
Speaker AIt's like I start diving into whether it be the education field, whether it's the medical stuff, whether it's the field of psychology.
Speaker AYou know, it's got esoteric roots.
Speaker ALiterally, it is born out of esotericism.
Speaker AYou've got, you know, the whole trajectory of especially continental philosophy, but really all of a Western philosophy.
Speaker AI mean there, there are some exceptions, but yeah, and then the technology, the whole industry, all of these things are interwoven.
Speaker AThat doesn't mean that there are never battles within.
Speaker AI want to be very clear about that.
Speaker AI absolutely believe there is free will, there's free agency.
Speaker AHumans can absolute, absolutely be disruptors.
Speaker AThat is what, that's the reason I do what I do is I hope to inform, inspire and empower people to exercise their free will so they can have the information.
Speaker AAnd then, you know, you never know who's going to be a disruptor and derail the plan.
Speaker AIn fact, the UN is a great example of that.
Speaker ABecause they talk about, you know, they did their summon to the future last year, and they kept saying how far behind their 2075 agenda that they are.
Speaker AAnd they kept.
Speaker AYeah, right.
Speaker AThey kept pointing to the United States as the big thorn in their side.
Speaker AWhy they're saying so far behind?
Speaker AI'm like, yes, let's keep going.
Speaker BYeah.
Speaker BI mean, in a sense, I have a book about this that's sitting on my shelf that I've been meaning to read.
Speaker BI think it's called In Pursuit of the Metaverse.
Speaker BAnd I can't remember the name of the author, but Carl Tygrib and I talked about it.
Speaker BI believe, you know Carl, at least, you know, of his.
Speaker BYeah, he's a great man.
Speaker BAnd so we talked about reading that together, but ultimately, all these different threads together.
Speaker BOther point to the attempt to create a new Tower of Babel.
Speaker BI mean, that's really what it is, like, a totalizing view of how to control all of humanity.
Speaker BGo ahead.
Speaker AYeah, sorry, I didn't mean to cut you off.
Speaker AI don't like to have this conversation because most people don't have the historical and the full context to really engage with it.
Speaker AI almost will never even use the term Zionism, because most people don't know that the origins was literally intended to create a dialect tactic.
Speaker ABut when people talk about, you know, the.
Speaker AThey.
Speaker AThey call it the Greater Israel, Israel plan, I'm like, I actually think it's the Greater Babylonian agenda, which has nothing to do with Jews.
Speaker ALike, nothing.
Speaker AIf anything, they want to eradicate Jews.
Speaker AAnd this was actually.
Speaker AI just posted a big thread on this with all the receipts from Alice Bailey herself, who talks about, in order to create the One World Religion, one of their big problems is the Jews, they have have to get rid of traditional Judaism.
Speaker AShe uses the term Orthodox, but you have to understand that, you know, in Greek, orthodox means correct thinking.
Speaker ASo she's really saying, like, the religious Jews, you have to get rid of them.
Speaker AThey welcome.
Speaker AMadame Blavatsky says the same thing.
Speaker AShe says that.
Speaker AShe says both Christianity and Judaism are diametrically opposed to Theosophy.
Speaker AAnd she says that, you know, really, any monotheistic religion.
Speaker ASo essentially Islam is as well, although they seem to be much more welcoming of that.
Speaker AYou know, the Islamic order is actually the largest voting bloc of the UN who is very much advancing this theosophical agenda.
Speaker ABut I think a lot of that has been subverted as well.
Speaker AThere's been institutional capture from every angle possible.
Speaker BI really appreciate you saying that because obviously it's A topic that's up on X literally today, particularly in Christian circles.
Speaker BBut I know it's larger than that.
Speaker BAnd Spencer Smith, I don't know if you've ever encountered read any of his work.
Speaker BHe did an excellent series of documentaries called Third Adam.
Speaker BJust really substantial work.
Speaker BHe's been on my podcast a couple times.
Speaker BVery, very charismatic and distinctive guy.
Speaker BAnd he pointed out on X, I guess it would have been a couple months ago, he said the end result of every conspiracy awakening is a hatred for Israel.
Speaker BAnd when he posted that, I remembered my time in the new age world and I got to thinking about the things that, that people were saying and I realized that he was right, that he was right.
Speaker BBut what I didn't realize and what you just pointed out is that this is actually in Alice Bailey's writings.
Speaker BAnd I was aware that Helena Blavatsky had called Christianity and this is her words quote, very pernicious to the aims of theosophy.
Speaker BShe said the chiefs of the order regard Christianity as a very pernicious threat, meaning essentially our chief ancestors enemy in Christianity.
Speaker BBut to hear that Alice Bailey also points out that Orthodox religious believing Jews need to be eradicated as well validates Spencer Smith's like one of the first missions.
Speaker AYeah, yeah.
Speaker BAnd so especially because the monotheic, the monotheistic religions, particularly embodied in sacred scripture, like this is the definitive text, it can't be modified with any outside peripheral, peripheral source like there.
Speaker BIt can't.
Speaker BThere's no special knowledge inherent in a priest class.
Speaker BThat's what you need to undermine scripture.
Speaker BBut if you say, sorry, it's just all just in the book and you just got to read the book, they hate that because then you don't have the Sarmoon brotherhood as GI Gurdjieff was pursuing, or the chiefs of the Order of the Theosophical Society or Jawal Kuhl, who I think was Alice Bailey's.
Speaker AThat was Alice Bailey's master.
Speaker BYeah, yeah, exactly.
Speaker AWrite 24 books.
Speaker AYeah.
Speaker AAnd Kut, whom he helped, Madame Blavatsky.
Speaker ABut yeah, the other that Alice Bailey talks about is particularly with Judaism is the separateness.
Speaker AAnd this is really the problem, I think with all the monotheistic religions.
Speaker AYeah.
Speaker ABecause this goes back to like the ancient Greeks, you know, they would call it the undifferentiated.
Speaker AAll Theosophists will say that we come from Source and that the mission of the human experience is to return back to Source.
Speaker ARight.
Speaker AThis is the divine spark.
Speaker AEverything is one.
Speaker AAnd this is what they're trying to create with the membrane of the Internet, right.
Speaker AI always show on my videos, Bruce Lipton, the evolutionary leader, he talks, have you seen this?
Speaker AWhere he of course uses the spiral because it's a spiral dynamics.
Speaker AAnd he just like alien dialectical spiral.
Speaker ABut he talks about how, you know, he started off as amoeba and amoeba's intelligence came from the membrane.
Speaker AThis is where they collect information and then we become multicellular organisms.
Speaker AAnd the reason they're more intelligent is because they have more membrane.
Speaker AAnd then humans, they're so complex, they have, you know, so much surface area of membrane.
Speaker AThat's, that's why we're so intelligent, is what he said.
Speaker AAnd so he said, but now we have the opportunity to co create or go extinct.
Speaker AAnd he said we could co create the superorganism of humanity.
Speaker AAnd he said, what does he say is going to be the membrane of the superorganism of humanity?
Speaker AThis is the Internet, of course, right?
Speaker ASo this is.
Speaker ABut when you talk about theosophy or it's really, you know, going back to what the ancient Greeks said with the undifferentiated all that the one is better than the many.
Speaker AAnd so their whole goal is to, you know, eviscerate any kind of boundaries or differentiation or distinction, blend everything.
Speaker AThis is why we have all the, the gender blending.
Speaker AAnd you know, nobody can have their own religion.
Speaker AIt's all part of one.
Speaker AIt's a brotherhood, universal brotherhood.
Speaker ARight.
Speaker AEverybody believes the same thing or it's some mishmash of a bunch of things pushed together.
Speaker ABut yeah, they don't want any distinctions because everything has to be part of the one.
Speaker AThis is how we achieve the noosphere and the collective intelligence, which is the game B term, you know, the singularity, essentially.
Speaker BYeah, I don't think people really understand just what a powerful religion, whatever you want to call it, philosophy, theological system, the all is one and all is God mindset is whether you're a pantheist, all is God or panentheist, that all is inside God.
Speaker BYou know, that single idea is what sets it up.
Speaker BAs Dr.
Speaker BPeter Jones says, oneism sets it up, sets itself up in opposition to twoism, which is the, which is the Judeo Christian tradition, literally the Judeo Christian tradition as embodied in the Bible.
Speaker BIn the beginning, God created right, like it is.
Speaker BIt is not of him.
Speaker BIt's.
Speaker BIt's a completely separate thing created out of nothing.
Speaker BAnd that eternal separateness drives the theosophist nuts.
Speaker BAnd when you have an objective, transcendent ascend its Standard that can't be harmonized or synthesized.
Speaker BThey have to spit it out.
Speaker BAnd so that's why all the efforts to undermine, like, literally, like the Judeo Christian values.
Speaker BAnd this is the best of the Jewish tradition as embodied in the Old Testament and as well as faithful biblical Christianity.
Speaker ARight.
Speaker BIt's not for nothing that the Chicago World Parliament of Religions, I believe it was in 1893, you know, where Swami Vivekananda made his big famous Hindu.
Speaker BHis big Hindu, Hindu debut.
Speaker BThe one religion that was not represented there was Bible believing Protestant Christianity.
Speaker ARight.
Speaker BAnd there's a reason for that because it can't be syncretized into the whole.
Speaker BThey're trying.
Speaker BThey're definitely trying from outside the faith and from inside it as well, but they are.
Speaker BBut that's the only place to stand.
Speaker AYeah.
Speaker AUnfortunately, they're having more success than perhaps would be nice to see.
Speaker ABut yeah, it's definitely a challenge.
Speaker AYeah.
Speaker AThe World Parliament of Religions, which was revived a century later in 1993, they now have, like, the Ayahuasca religion is present there.
Speaker BDon't get me started.
Speaker AYeah.
Speaker BOh, I don't.
Speaker BYou probably don't know this, but I've done ayahuasca 15 times before coming to Christianity.
Speaker BSo here on my left arm, this is an ayahuasca vine that I have tattooed on my left arm.
Speaker AOh, wow.
Speaker BI'm just waiting.
Speaker BI'm just waiting to go to war with these folks.
Speaker AI got so much pushback for talking about psychedelics.
Speaker BOh, yes.
Speaker AYeah.
Speaker ASo last year was last year or the year before, but suddenly there was like this push everywhere.
Speaker AYou were seeing, like, mushrooms on children's clothing.
Speaker AI'm sorry, like furniture.
Speaker AMushroom furniture.
Speaker ALike, this is not fashion.
Speaker AI don't know.
Speaker AThis is so obviously propaganda.
Speaker ASo I was trying to point this out to people.
Speaker ABut what you also saw simultaneous, simultaneously was they started talking about how all of these articles and studies have been done on SSRIs proving that they did not do what they had purported to do.
Speaker AIn fact, the results were very much the opposite, that they actually caused things like suicidal ideation and depression and anxiety and all the things that they were claiming to, you know, get rid of.
Speaker ASo they.
Speaker AI'm careful not to use the C word, but, you know, they were, you know, all the things they were claiming to do, they were actually doing the opposite.
Speaker AOkay.
Speaker ASo the.
Speaker AAll of these studies, the media was doing a huge blitz on this while simultaneously pushing, like, all this fashion with mushrooms and talking about microdosing psilocybin and, like, why Are they putting these studies out now?
Speaker ASo first of all, these studies about the SSRIs, we knew this back in the 90s.
Speaker ALike, they had already proven in the 90s that the SSRIs cause suicidal ideation, depression, anxiety, all the things that they're supposed to fix.
Speaker AThey cause.
Speaker AWe knew this back then, so.
Speaker ABut suddenly this is news, and that's very strange to me.
Speaker ABut now what do they have?
Speaker AThey have all this microdosing and this ketamine therapy that they're claiming is your new fix.
Speaker AAnd what do we also see?
Speaker ASimultaneously, we see people in the technocrat arena who are working on synthetic variations of these things.
Speaker ASo we've got Elon Musk with his ketamine.
Speaker AWe've got Peter Thiel in the.
Speaker AThe cannabis and the psilocybin.
Speaker AYou know, they're working on therapies, but they're synthetic.
Speaker AAnd so now Big Pharma is.
Speaker AOr at least the Technocrats, at least Silicon Valley.
Speaker ABut I'm pretty sure Big Pharma as well is involved in these new replacements for the SSRI therapies.
Speaker ABut, yeah, it just feels like we needed Orwell's 1984 in order to usher in Huxley's Brave New World.
Speaker BRight.
Speaker BRay Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451.
Speaker BI think that that's an unappreciated masterpiece that shows like the.
Speaker BThe big vid screens and the dumbing down and all of that, you know, and the burning of books like I think people, and very rightfully so.
Speaker BTalk about Brave New World and Soma and that sort of proto socialist wokeness.
Speaker BYes, yes.
Speaker BAnd.
Speaker BBut then you read.
Speaker BBut then read Fahrenheit 451, it's like, oh, that's coming too.
Speaker BAnd you're absolutely right about psychedelics.
Speaker BI push back so hard on those and what's coming.
Speaker BAnd first of all, RFK Jr.
Speaker BAt least before the election, seemed like he was prepared to be the tip of the spear for normalizing psychedelics into American culture.
Speaker BBecause when he listed his top 10 or so priorities, it didn't seem to be an ordered list.
Speaker BIt was just in paragraph form.
Speaker BBut the first thing that he listed was psychedelics.
Speaker BAnd the pitch will be SSRIs, big pharma drugs have made people miserable.
Speaker BAnd there's all these studies that show just one psychedelic trip does what years of therapy, you know, can't.
Speaker BAnd so that will first be pushed on the veteran community.
Speaker BLike, look at all these veterans that have been helped from their ptsd.
Speaker BThat means Everyone must do it all the time.
Speaker BAnd then when you have, you see the legalization particularly of like DMT and stuff like that, that in liberal states, it's crazy.
Speaker BAnd this is all coming.
Speaker BAnd I think it presents not only a medical challenge and a political challenge, but a theological challenge that I just don't know that people are prepared to answer.
Speaker BI don't know that they have an answer for like, well, what's the theological response to trauma?
Speaker BWell, it's not taking drugs.
Speaker AWell, and not only that, but if you look back at the ancient mystery religions, what all do in order.
Speaker ASo in order to create the transcendence experience, they either had some sort of a drug ritual that was usually psychedelic to create so that you could be one with the oneness.
Speaker ARight.
Speaker AOpen up all the boundaries and you know, do away dissolve all the boundaries or some sort of trauma induction.
Speaker AAnd oftentimes now I'm not denying that, you know, nobody has ever had a good experience or benefited.
Speaker AThere's always those exceptions.
Speaker ABut oftentimes they go hand in hand.
Speaker AA lot of people have bad trauma trips.
Speaker AA lot of people, you know, not only do they experience that dissolution of all boundaries, but they actually have major traumatic events or it brings up trauma for them.
Speaker ASo I think that these are.
Speaker ABut when the, in the ancient mystery religions, most of the initiations involve this.
Speaker ASo it's part of the trauma bonding experience and it's also part of trauma, trauma based mind control.
Speaker ASo.
Speaker BYes.
Speaker BYeah, I'm glad that you pointed that out and you, and it's very frank frequently that psychedelics are paired with orgiastic rights.
Speaker BThat's just a thing.
Speaker BYou know, sex, drugs and rock and roll like that wasn't invented in the 1960s.
Speaker BAnd all of this stuff is being hyper normalized.
Speaker BAnd so, you know, so right now you have this anti Zionism, anti Semitism that's having a brief resurgence and I don't know ultimately how far it will go, especially because no one in the Trump administration agrees with it.
Speaker BSo there's no dormant ways in for that.
Speaker BSo I think it'll eventually run headlong into a brick wall and then all the guys who are into that will fall off a cliff and that'll go.
Speaker AI don't know about that.
Speaker AI think that the fact that, Yeah, I, unfortunately, I hope you're right.
Speaker AI would like to nothing more than to be wrong on this, but I think it's going to create a dialectic.
Speaker BOh, please, go ahead.
Speaker AYeah, so I think you're going to have that resistance and people are going to argue that, you know, it's creating kind of a favored kind of class or.
Speaker AAnd, you know, they're gonna argue that it's creating more censorship.
Speaker AI'm already hearing these narratives, so they really.
Speaker AI think the fact that they're pushing back on it.
Speaker AThe Trump administration is actually creating this dialectical turn.
Speaker AI'm not.
Speaker AThis is not saying that I think we should support anti Semitism.
Speaker AI obviously don't think that, you know, that is not what I'm saying.
Speaker ABut I do see a potential dialectical clash and a fomenting of some of these tensions.
Speaker AI'm concerned about it.
Speaker AI really hope it doesn't continue to escalate.
Speaker AWe're seeing it online, but I've actually experienced quite a bit of it, like, in person.
Speaker ASo it's.
Speaker AYeah, so say more about that.
Speaker AWell, I mean, yeah, there's just.
Speaker AI don't really know how to.
Speaker AI know firsthand.
Speaker ALet me not make it quite so personal, but.
Speaker AAnd I won't use names or anything, but I know firsthand.
Speaker ASomebody I know's daughter was bullied so bad, they, like, beat her head, like, bashed her head, and she couldn't go back to school.
Speaker AAnd it was just because she was Jewish, like, nothing else, like, instigated at all.
Speaker AI have seen, you know, people pull out weapons, like, just because somebody was Jewish.
Speaker AYeah.
Speaker AIt's getting to the point where it's becoming.
Speaker ASo this is what I'm talking about, about these.
Speaker AUnfortunately, these algorithmic cybernetic feedback loops, we think that they're relegated to online.
Speaker ABut what happens is a lot of.
Speaker AOf people become one.
Speaker AYou become a bit desensitized to what it would be like to have confrontation in person.
Speaker AYou also have a false sense of reality because you've been so myopically seeped in a silo.
Speaker ASo you think that is the world and that is where everybody lives.
Speaker ABut you're not seeing other people's silo.
Speaker AYou're not seeing their algorithmic feed.
Speaker ASo you go out into the world and you engage, thinking that this is how everybody's conducting.
Speaker AAnd so you've got a lot of people, and a lot of people.
Speaker AYou know, the social skills have deteriorated a little bit.
Speaker ALet me say that kind of a euphemistically.
Speaker BSo that's very interesting because I think you're probably right.
Speaker BI mean, I definitely believe you.
Speaker BI don't mean to say that I don't.
Speaker BIn my circles, I'm seeing something else.
Speaker BI'm seeing, like, the fomenting of the racial Tensions, right?
Speaker BOh, my goodness.
Speaker BYeah.
Speaker BBut that's a validation of your point.
Speaker AIf people fight against each other, they're happy.
Speaker ASo I always say.
Speaker AThat's what I always say.
Speaker AI say that, you know, like in Christianity there's a trinity.
Speaker AI don't need to explain that to you or your audience, obviously, but I always say that the, you can call the devil the, you know, the opposition, whatever, whatever makes sense for you and your faith.
Speaker ABut I always say the devil has a trinity that he worships and it's the triple Ds, you know, the devil, the triple Ds.
Speaker AAnd it is that the first one is deception.
Speaker ARight.
Speaker ASo distort, manipulate, deceive.
Speaker ARight.
Speaker AHe's master, trickster, deceiver.
Speaker AAnd this is a way of convincing you of lies or, you know, misrepresenting things.
Speaker AAnd then the second one is divide and conquer or divide and rule.
Speaker AAnd so this is of course, the dialectical games.
Speaker AAnd so we see so much of this, all the division and the more they can get people divided.
Speaker AAnd I think this is a huge part of why all the, the transgender stuff, I never focus too much on it because it's really a pipeline to transhumanism.
Speaker ABut ultimately the, you know, war between the men and the women, it's the biggest faction that you can get to fight against each other.
Speaker AWhen they're supposed to be like simpatico.
Speaker AI mean, they were made for each other, but you can get them fighting each other.
Speaker AYou know, you've got the two biggest groups fighting each other.
Speaker ASo he's very happy with that.
Speaker AAnd then of course, the last one is destruction.
Speaker AAnd I say this is why they're a death cult, because they, they can only destroy, they can't create.
Speaker BYeah.
Speaker AAnd so, yeah, but I think the division is very key.
Speaker BYeah.
Speaker BThe scripture says the enemy comes to steal, kill and destroy, but Christ has come so that we might have life and have it abundantly.
Speaker BAnd so to your point, like the enemy can only destroy things, can't actually create.
Speaker BAnd to see Christianity is having a trendy moment.
Speaker BI think the long term effects of that, I think are really remain to be seen.
Speaker BI suppose I'm happier that people are exploring Christianity than not.
Speaker BCertainly it's been a huge blessing in my life.
Speaker BBut I think again, to speak to another set of silos, another set of dialectics, you have the authoritarians that are beginning to wrap themselves in Christian language for a political end and not actually becoming regenerated believers, not actually becoming sanctified.
Speaker BAnd that's the thing that's just ripping apart my spiritual circles right now is you have brothers, like men, who are both, we'll call them both professing Christians.
Speaker BBut one is going in a hyper political, authoritarian, fascist direction.
Speaker BAnd in many ways, neo Nazi.
Speaker BRight, going in that direction.
Speaker BAnd there's the other guys who are here like, hey, that don't go that way.
Speaker BIt's like, but we have to take America back from the evil.
Speaker BIt's like, not like that.
Speaker BAnd that's again, the dialectic that's being set up by these silos.
Speaker BDo you think?
Speaker BOkay, so when you say cybernetic, do you mean that there's.
Speaker BIs this algorithmic, cybernetic?
Speaker BIs there some sort of consciousness behind this or is just this.
Speaker BThey just plug in numbers into the machine and the machine is just generating its output?
Speaker AWell, yeah, I think it is a code.
Speaker ARight.
Speaker ASo I think that it's.
Speaker AWhen you say consciousness, I mean humans program code.
Speaker ARight?
Speaker ASo right now we don't have robots doing code just yet.
Speaker ABut even if robots do code, they're just an amplification of the original code.
Speaker ASo it still originates with the consciousness of that human who programmed it.
Speaker ASo all of their biases and their worldview, that's going to be somehow embedded in it, and it gets amplified as it progresses as the algorithm advances.
Speaker ASo it's never without some sort of bias.
Speaker ABut yeah, I think that that's.
Speaker ADo I think that there's sentience?
Speaker ANo, and I don't actually think that there will ever be.
Speaker AThat's my personal belief.
Speaker AI think there's a lot invested in convincing people that they're sentience.
Speaker AI've seen the messaging already, you know, them saying that it's already been achieved.
Speaker ABut I think that the effect of getting people to buy into that narrative could potentially be just as precarious as if they were to really create sentience.
Speaker AI think that it could actually have very similar, if not the same result.
Speaker ASo I'm concerned about that, but I don't think that it will actually achieve sentience.
Speaker AI think that that, you know, comes from a soul.
Speaker AI don't think that they could create machines with souls.
Speaker AWhat they could do, though, is with the synthetic biology, they are creating things that can mimic humans and be quite deceptive.
Speaker AUm, and that's.
Speaker AYeah, that has its own set of concerns.
Speaker BYeah, there was a whole, like, Peter Thiel, I don't remember the guy's name, but Peter Thiel was informed by a philosopher or thinker or technologist who believes.
Speaker AHe was very influenced by Curtis Yarvin.
Speaker AWho.
Speaker ABut he was also very influenced by Strauss.
Speaker ARight.
Speaker AHe did his whole Straussian moment, who was actually a lot of it was talking about Schmidt.
Speaker ABut yeah, he's in.
Speaker AThey also influenced.
Speaker AInfluenced by Heidegger.
Speaker ASo a lot of philosophers who have a very kind of a gnostic worldview.
Speaker AHeidegger was an existentialist.
Speaker AAnd I get a lot of pushback when I say it's gnostic.
Speaker AWhen I use the term, I'm not referring to the first century heretics of Christianity.
Speaker AI use the umbrella little Gnosticism to incorporate a lot of these, like the hermetic and alchemical types of worldviews.
Speaker ABut essentially they're buying into this narrative of being trapped here on earth by a ignorant demiurge who has withheld knowledge from us.
Speaker ARight.
Speaker ASo the Gnostic, the term comes from Gnosis.
Speaker AGnosis in Greek is knowledge.
Speaker ARight.
Speaker ASo it's the divine knowledge.
Speaker AAnd this is also.
Speaker ATheosophy has the same kind of.
Speaker AThey believe through theurgy, which is the divine work, that they can achieve the gnosis and then become God.
Speaker AThis is a common theme through all of these.
Speaker AAnd so that's.
Speaker AYeah, that seems to be.
Speaker ABut again, it's couched in a lot of Christianese is what I call it just like theosophy, when they talk about Christ consciousness, very deceptive.
Speaker AA lot of Christians think that they're speaking their language.
Speaker AThey say the Christ is returning, but they're very careful to say the Christ and it's not Jesus Christ.
Speaker AThey're very clear about that.
Speaker AThis is a world teacher.
Speaker AThis is Lord Maitreya, you know, who's no different than Krishna or Buddha.
Speaker AThis is a world teacher that they believe is going to return.
Speaker AYou could say, some would say it's the Antichrist, not, you know, they say the Christ.
Speaker AI think there's a lot of evidence to indicate that that's what they're talking about.
Speaker AThere's a prayer that they do.
Speaker AYou can find this on the Lucius Trust website.
Speaker AAnd at the end of it they talk about two seal the door where evil dwells.
Speaker AAnd I'm like, wait, wait, which side?
Speaker AWhere are we going here?
Speaker BRight.
Speaker AThey don't specify.
Speaker ASo, you know, they speak in esoteric language.
Speaker AThey're very clear about that.
Speaker AThat's what their arcane school is all about.
Speaker AYou know, Blavatsky and Bailey talk about how this is specifically material for those who are spiritually evolved and familiar with the esoteric.
Speaker AAnd I think that that's what a lot of philosophers did as well.
Speaker ASo my thesis for the book is Hegel's D dialectic agnostic.
Speaker AJacob's ladder is that he was speaking.
Speaker AHe talks about the rational absolute.
Speaker AAnd this sounds scientific, right?
Speaker AIt's rational logical.
Speaker ABut he makes it very clear that rational is synonymous with speculative.
Speaker AAnd of course, I'm interpreting in English.
Speaker AI don't read German, so those who speak German can correct me if you wish.
Speaker ABut he says that speculative is no different than mystical.
Speaker ASo I do believe that he's speaking Sapian language, which is signaling to those who are initiated to understand that this is a blueprint.
Speaker AThat's why I call it a machinery of control.
Speaker AAnd he just to use him as an example because he very much influenced, you know, Curtis Yarvin and the Dark Enlightenment and a lot of these thinkers that we're seeing through some of the quote unquote right wing technocratic army.
Speaker ABut he.
Speaker ASo Hegel talks about this.
Speaker ASorry, I totally lost my train of thought.
Speaker AWhere was I going?
Speaker BHe's talking about Curtis Yarvin and we started out talking about Peter Thiel and Dark Enlightenment and sort of some of, some of the.
Speaker BI was.
Speaker BYou're absolutely right that he's been influenced by all of those.
Speaker BAnd I was going to mention also that he.
Speaker BThere is a thinker who had influenced Peter Thiel that was talking about how through we can meme the Singularity into existence, that by gathering collection collective consciousness in a particular direction, like you get everyone anticipating the arrival of the Singularity that will summon the Singularity into existence.
Speaker BAnd that we're actually watching is something that is propagating like backwards in time.
Speaker BLike our conscious intention in this moment will alter the past to make the singularity possible in a supposed future.
Speaker AKurzweil.
Speaker AI mean, I don't.
Speaker BNo, it's someone else.
Speaker BBut it's in that same vein, this idea.
Speaker BGosh.
Speaker BAnd it's not Rene Girard either.
Speaker BIt was some other thinker that I'd never heard of before.
Speaker BBut the idea being that, yes, there are all these many thinkers she listed that definitely influenced Peter Thiel, but one of them also, that through our conscious intention in this moment, we can summon the Singularity into existence to deliver us from, you know, what this, this whatever is going on in the world that, that they want to control, let's say.
Speaker AOh, I, I feel like I'm going to have to find out who said.
Speaker BThis and I'm sending Courtney Turner down a rabbit hole.
Speaker AYeah, definitely.
Speaker AI'm like, who said that?
Speaker AYeah, I'm like trying to find it, but I don't know that I'm going to find it that quickly.
Speaker BRight.
Speaker BI wish I could remember his name.
Speaker AOh, no.
Speaker AStream of consciousness.
Speaker AThat's not right.
Speaker AOkay, well, I will look into that.
Speaker ABut yeah, so all of them were kind of influenced by the same line of thought.
Speaker AAnd.
Speaker AYeah, so Hegel himself talks about how it is, you know, mystical.
Speaker AAnd so I think he really was signaling to the initiated.
Speaker AOh, this is what I was going to say.
Speaker ASo he said that he rejected both Kant and Plato's notion of dialectic because it was too abstract, too intellectual.
Speaker AHe wanted a methodology for advancing the historicity of man.
Speaker ASo essentially he wanted, like, a tool, you know, and he pretty much says that and that that's pretty much what he codified, not say that he was the first.
Speaker AI mean, they.
Speaker AWe see this kind of unity of opposites through.
Speaker AAnd I lay that out in the book through lots of these ancient religions before him.
Speaker ABut I think they paid the way for, you know, what he really cemented.
Speaker AAnd I think that had become really a tool for social engineering and empire.
Speaker BWhat if it really were true that more than some sort of occult new age pagan awakening, which I think everyone can see very clearly, what's underlying our political moment is so much more, I guess, a cultic pantheist, you know, Antichrist in nature than people can recognize.
Speaker BLike here at the top of the iceberg, we're looking at all the.
Speaker BHere we are in Antarctica.
Speaker BWe just woke up in Antarctica, and we're seeing all these little.
Speaker BThe tips of the iceberg floating around like, oh, isn't this nice?
Speaker BLike.
Speaker BBut then underneath it, it's a giant world that is ultimately at the deepest levels, interconnected and I think, surfacing in a way that, like, I don't know, all my premillennial listeners are probably like.
Speaker BExactly.
Speaker BSo we see it all happening around us.
Speaker AYeah, I think we do see it happening all around us.
Speaker AI mean, it's definitely much more in your face than it ever was.
Speaker ARight.
Speaker AI mean, even when you look through.
Speaker ASince we brought up, like, Peter Thiel, and they're very much influenced by the accelerationists.
Speaker AAnd this was.
Speaker AThis was born out of, like, the Cybernetic Cult Research Unit and Cybernetic something.
Speaker AIt's ccru.
Speaker ABut Nick Land was one of the prominent thinkers on this.
Speaker AAnd I mean, his.
Speaker AThey're very, very esoteric.
Speaker AYou know, he was very influenced by people like Ebola.
Speaker AThis is like blatant esotericism.
Speaker AAnd it's very much in line with a lot of the same kind of, you know, Theosophical kind of premises that, you know, obviously they're talking about accelerating technology essentially towards the tech, the singularity.
Speaker ASo, you know, there's nuances, differences in their perspectives and their.
Speaker AHow they're going to foment things and what.
Speaker AWhat the.
Speaker AWhat the plan is, if you will.
Speaker ALet the plan of love and light work out, as they say.
Speaker ABut he.
Speaker AHe does talk about like he has this document.
Speaker AIt's so creepy.
Speaker AIt's hyper racism.
Speaker AAnd it's a.
Speaker AI don't like the.
Speaker BTitle of that already.
Speaker AI.
Speaker ARight.
Speaker AHyper racism.
Speaker AAnd so we have to go beyond racism.
Speaker ASo this is like the dialectical evolution of racism.
Speaker BSome people are.
Speaker BSome people are way ahead of him probably.
Speaker BBut.
Speaker AYeah, well, Elon Musk is doing his job because it's all of.
Speaker AIt's essentially positive eugenics using, you know, genetic selection.
Speaker ASo that's what it's all about, is using like.
Speaker AAnd that's what Elon's doing.
Speaker AHe's using CRISPR Cas9 and, you know, donations and petri dish.
Speaker AHe's taking the humanity out of the procreation process.
Speaker AAnd I think this is part of that whole thing with Sinclair.
Speaker AI think part of the whole thing was to desensitize people to.
Speaker AAnd dehumanize the procreation experience, to lay groundwork for acquiescence to the transhuman agenda.
Speaker AI mean, I don't know, but it seemed like propaganda to me.
Speaker BThat's very interesting.
Speaker BInteresting.
Speaker BOh, Ashley St.
Speaker BClair.
Speaker BOh, yeah.
Speaker BThat whole thing.
Speaker BYeah.
Speaker BWell, that's very interesting because I've done a lot of work thinking about the sexual revolution and its impact on civilization, which I don't know that we fully understand yet.
Speaker BBut one of the things that I hadn't considered, which I think might be a very good point, is by depersonalizing and desacralizing sexuality and making it cheap and commercial, commercial and ultimately easy to acquire and fundamentally meaningless.
Speaker BNot even for procreation and even to the point where like new generations are checking out of it.
Speaker BIt's interesting that that does pave the way for ectogenesis.
Speaker BHe's just raising children outside of the womb or germinating children outside the womb.
Speaker BMaybe germinating might not be the best word, but that's very interesting.
Speaker BI hadn't thought about that, but I can see if that wasn't the original conscious intention in the first half of the 20th century that it could be repurposed for that very easily.
Speaker AYeah, well, I actually do think that was largely.
Speaker AI think it was a depopulation agenda.
Speaker AIt was to dehumanize, destroy families, destroy relationships.
Speaker AI actually think there is a biological component as well.
Speaker AHumans are not meant to behave in that kind.
Speaker AIt's not the healthiest.
Speaker ASo there are intergenerational ramifications to that.
Speaker AAnd studies have been shown on, you know, those types of experiences that people have.
Speaker ASo I think it was multifaceted, but I think it was very destructive.
Speaker AI also think that it ruins the core fabric of relationships.
Speaker AYou know, this is, this generation now, it's very different because everything's online, that's got its own set of problems.
Speaker ABut I know, like, for my generation, you saw like the Sex and the City era.
Speaker AThat's what I called it.
Speaker AAnd you know, you had characters, like, they would take quizzes, you know, which character are you?
Speaker AAnd of course, Samantha was touted as like the, you know, ultimate feminist and the.
Speaker AYeah, and what was she doing?
Speaker AAnd that was being promoted as like, the way women should live and that we should embrace that.
Speaker ABut ultimately it prolongs marriage, it prolongs any kind of meaningful relationship.
Speaker AIt prolongs procreation, you know, and it also undervalues human life because now you're incentivized, if you happen to be inexperienced and you have a baby as a result.
Speaker AAnd, you know, now, well, maybe you're not ready or whatever.
Speaker AAnd so, you know, it's okay to do, discard.
Speaker AIt devalues human life.
Speaker AI mean, that's essentially what it does.
Speaker AAnd again, I'm not saying this from a place of judgment to judge anybody's experience or choices.
Speaker AThat's, you know, I'm just looking at it from a sociological phenomenon.
Speaker AWhat is the result?
Speaker AWhat does it do?
Speaker AAnd I can't really look at it in any way other than, you know, to look at the result and say that that was intentional.
Speaker AI.
Speaker AI just think, you know, this was a psychological operation designed to dehumanize and depopulate.
Speaker BYeah.
Speaker BAnd everyone's super invested in this way of being because it's quote unquote, pleasurable.
Speaker BRight.
Speaker BBut we can be often led astray by the pleasures that we pursue.
Speaker AIs it really pleasurable, though?
Speaker AI mean, I think that was also kind of a lie.
Speaker AI'm not saying that there's never any short term pleasure.
Speaker AThat's not what I'm saying.
Speaker ABut is it really pleasurable to have experiences that are devoid of real meaning, that don't have a deep attachment and significance?
Speaker AI don't think that that's truly pleasurable for humans.
Speaker AHumans want to have secure attachments and Build something and, you know, have foundations that, you know, blossom into something.
Speaker AThat's what humans want to do.
Speaker AI mean, we're only here for a short time, so to think that we just chase a hit of something now.
Speaker AI mean, we're biological creatures and of course you might have a short term pleasurable experience, but we really look back on it.
Speaker AIt.
Speaker AI don't think it's, It's.
Speaker AIt doesn't.
Speaker AIt's not fulfilling, I guess is a way to say it.
Speaker BYes, exactly.
Speaker BI think that's probably closer to what I meant.
Speaker BLike it's maybe play, maybe sensual.
Speaker BRight.
Speaker BThat we set up the difference between sensual versus fulfilling.
Speaker ARight.
Speaker ABut it's not fulfilling.
Speaker AYeah, I think.
Speaker BCorrect.
Speaker BYeah, yeah, it's the, It's.
Speaker BIt's.
Speaker BAs we pull on all these threads, we can see the kind of web that we were to many, to much extent, even those of us who are awake to it, we're all still kind of like stuck in it.
Speaker BLike, we're not lost in it.
Speaker BWe're not like Neo in the Matrix.
Speaker BI don't want to get all gnostic with it.
Speaker BRight.
Speaker BLike little G.
Speaker BBut, but there's a way in which that this is the, the, the fabric of reality that we find ourselves embedded in at this moment.
Speaker BAnd so as, as we just talk about all this, I guess my, my, my question is, as you research all of this and you do the primary, primary source reading and man, you've talked about stuff that even I haven't heard of, which is awesome.
Speaker BHow do you stay grounded in the midst of all this?
Speaker BAnd maybe we can close on this as people begin exploring many of these topics, whether through reading or videos or your podcast or some of mine, how do you stay grounded amidst all of this overwhelming information?
Speaker AOh, that's a big question, I guess.
Speaker AYeah, it's a big question.
Speaker AI think you just have to, I mean, you have to find your, like, your.
Speaker AWhy.
Speaker AWhy are you doing this?
Speaker AWhy are you doing whatever it is you do?
Speaker AWhat are the things you love, what's, you know, what matters to you, and then just find things that are outside of it altogether.
Speaker AYou know, find things that give you pleasure and fulfillment both, but, you know, that are meaningful, like, you know, your relationships and, you know, know, and also things that are like, relaxing and detached.
Speaker ASo, I mean, I, I personally really like my, my physical stuff outside.
Speaker AYou know, I'm a, I, I like to make sure I get to the gym.
Speaker AThat's really important to me.
Speaker AAnd you know, spend time with my, my family and yeah, I, I don't know, I, I think it's, I don't think it's easy.
Speaker AIt definitely can be dark.
Speaker AAnd I, I would actually say sometimes reading all this stuff is less dark than watching some of the madness online.
Speaker ASometimes that actually that's to of these culture personalities and I think sometimes I feel like I'm screaming into the abyss and that can be very frustrating and I wish people would engage more with ideas.
Speaker AYeah, so that's, but the ideas themselves, I mean we're always going to be on a journey because we are limited the gnostic to get that right.
Speaker AIn that regard we were limited.
Speaker AWe are not perfect.
Speaker ABut I don't believe we can be perfected.
Speaker AThat's where we differ.
Speaker AAnd I think that knowledge should be a tool.
Speaker AIt's not, you know, it's not to create self apotheosis and self divinization.
Speaker AYou know, it's not for that.
Speaker AIt's so that we can navigate.
Speaker AAnd for me it's really, that's why I say it's to inform, inspire and empower.
Speaker AIt's really about free will.
Speaker ASo I feel like the more information I have then I am better equipped to exercise my free will.
Speaker AAnd that's what I hope, hope to impart on onto others is to give them a sense so that they're, they're not caught in these webs, they're not caught in dialectical turns.
Speaker AThey're, you know, they can step outside the wizard circle.
Speaker AThey're, they're not like totally.
Speaker ANone of us are going to be impervious to programming or to you know, some extent of the brainwashing and you know, all of the various mind games and propaganda.
Speaker ABut I think, think that the more we can learn about these various things and the history then maybe we can fine tune our discernment and not fall for every one of them.
Speaker BYeah.
Speaker BTo not be taken capture by either our reason or our faith, but to maintain them both quite healthy so that we can, so that we can not fall into the many.
Speaker BI love that you turn heard the term, use the term wizard circle.
Speaker BI've been listening to some James Lindsay lectures where he talks about the same, the same thing.
Speaker BHow many wizards are trying to draw us into the circles and how many circles there are and we have to through our own discernment and our own information and our own, you know.
Speaker BRight.
Speaker BHearts.
Speaker BStay out of all of them.
Speaker AYeah, well they are, I mean they're you know, linguistic masters.
Speaker AThis is, they play mind games, they cast spells through language and so it is literally a wizard circle that they're putting around you.
Speaker AAnd so I actually mean it quite literally.
Speaker ASome of these people are considered magnus in their various respective fields.
Speaker ASo I think we should recognize them as humans and deal with the ideas themselves so that we're not as susceptible to the hypnosis.
Speaker BThat's a really good point, is listen to what they're saying and unwind the ideas that they're saying to you.
Speaker BAnd don't go after the man or the woman.
Speaker BThat's not going to stop anybody from doing that.
Speaker BBut ultimately, the way that you liberate yourself from the wizard circle is not by, you know, killing the wizard because you're still in the circle.
Speaker AYeah, exactly.
Speaker AThat's exactly right.
Speaker AYeah.
Speaker AIt's about, well, what did they convince you of?
Speaker AWhat spell did they cast?
Speaker AThat's what you should be dealing with.
Speaker AI mean, if you look at it from biblical perspective, right.
Speaker AIt's a battle of models of powers and principalities.
Speaker ARight.
Speaker ASo it's not the, you're not dealing with the person.
Speaker AThese are these powers and principalities.
Speaker AAnd I think that's the same thing.
Speaker AThese various ideas, these concepts, it's these worldviews.
Speaker AAnd I think the less we idolize or vilify people, I think that the better off we'll be in escaping some of these wizard circles.
Speaker BYes.
Speaker BWell, thank you so much for all the work that you do in providing just an incredible output of liberating information from a lot of these, again, wizard circles and ideas.
Speaker BI'm continually astounded at how much you are able to process and make available.
Speaker BAnd I think everyone listening can hear what I'm talking about a little bit.
Speaker AThank you, I appreciate that.
Speaker AYeah.
Speaker BSo where would you like to send people to find out out more about you and what you do?
Speaker AWell, courtneyturner.com and I do spell my name a little bit differently.
Speaker AIt's pronounced Courtney, but I spell it like Courtenay.
Speaker AAnd lots of people like to tease me and call me Courtney.
Speaker AAnd that's totally fine.
Speaker ABut that helps you spell it.
Speaker AIt's C O U R T E N A Y T U r n e r.com and that's where you can find all of my various podcast platforms, all my social media, I have a contact page and of course all the ways you can support my work.
Speaker AAnd I started a substack back, I guess about, I don't know, I want to say like six, seven months ago now maybe.
Speaker ABut I am putting all of my podcasts out there ad free and early access for my paid subscribers and it would be of great help to me.
Speaker AI know not everybody's in a position to do so but this takes up a tremendous exorbitant amount of time and resources.
Speaker AI mean just for the platforms it's actually quite expensive to do all this so any help is always greatly appreciated.
Speaker AAnd yeah, so you can get all of that on my soap stack and I have really been working to try and get articles out to you as well.
Speaker AAlthough it's, you know, really hard to get all of this done.
Speaker AThere needs to be more hours in the day so yeah but you have.
Speaker BTo synthesize and harmonize and express all the information simple enough for, for just someone who's involved with it casually to understand like I, I know how difficult that is.
Speaker BSo thank you.
Speaker AThank you.
Speaker AYeah, thank you so much.
Speaker AThis was a pleasure.
Speaker BThank you.
Speaker BIt was for me as well.
Speaker ASam.
