Today on Post-Orthodoxy, a conversation with another hard-working thinker we've been following on Twitter: The Ethical Skeptic, or "Tes". . "Who is The Ethical Skeptic? No one of consequence. I believe that a person should be engaged for the quality of their thinking, and for their positive impact upon the world that they find within their reach; not by their titles, curriculum vitae, publications, and awards. Nonetheless, for those who insist that such things embody a person’s worthiness, I work professionally in engineering and science on a daily basis. I hold graduate and undergraduate degrees in engineering, business, finance, and ethics from the number one and number four ranked universities in the US for their respective disciplines. My ethics thesis earned the only A+++ ever awarded by the Dean of my school." ...(more on https://theethicalskeptic.com/our-story/)... "It is not that smart people believe weird things, but rather what I observe among scientists of the highest caliber acumen: they are wise in their application of intellectual integrity. They describe first, and refuse to explain. Beware of the ‘explainers’. At some point inside a doctrinal array of conclusive arguments, the ethical mind must eventually broach dissent, and question the nature of linear thinking certainty inside asymmetric, partially understood systems. Mindlessly falling prey to a bandwagon effect does not qualify one as rational nor as a critical thinker. You cannot justify the corruption of mind with a series of memorized one-liners. As my favorite professor in Standard Model particle physics used to say, “It is not simply the correctness of your answer I want you to express, rather demonstrate the rigor and quality of your thinking.” The rigor and quality of our thinking has been sacrificed at the alter of authorized explanations masquerading as science.   "Never use skepticism as an excuse to dissuade anyone’s life from expressing its full extraordinary potential, especially your own."   Dark Sevier, Memetic Mediator, and Ainsley Sevier, Psychic Doula, work to reduce harm and build community thru challenging dogmatic thinking.

TODAY on Post-Orthodoxy: This is a conversation about cognitive sovereignty, and becoming free from emotional manipulation and binary nonsense. Who were the first colonizers? Don't tune in if you're offended by the thought you may have been brainwashed. Dark researched a breakdown of Zelensky - Are you ready to hear it? What can we know about Ukraine/Russia? What can we do with what we know? And introducing future guest, The Ethical Skeptic.

We met Mahina while on vacation on O'ahu, and she agreed to share some of her stories with us! Unfortunately our travel livestream audio kit needs updating, and we also had to work around the lawncare guys showing up unexpectedly. Can't wait for another chance to talk with Mahina about her work healing traumas through plant medicines. . "Mahina Alexander has been driven from a very young age to seek Truth. She is a healer in training as well as a mother, truth speaker, artist, writer and model for -mostly women owned and led- sustainable fashion & jewelry. From childhood trauma, to modeling, to addiction, to awakening and healing she is a student of life and the experiences it offers her for expansion and evolution each and everyday.   She has used platforms like tumblr and instagram to connect and express her contemplative ideas and insights about the nature of our reality, our humanity & our divinity and share her philosophical inspirations and passions.   She believes that trauma is merely a teacher which can initiate us into a greater understanding of our true identity that can offer us the humility and compassion to remember what we’re really doing here and explore right relationship with our planet and one another beyond our fears according to past programming.   She is passionate about doing the inner work to release the [trauma] imprint, embrace her unique soul blueprint and inspiring others to do the same.   She is cultivating a safe online community space for those on a journey of healing and authentic self expression. Through years of self inquiry working with plant medicines (psychedelics), meditation, journaling, deeply honest conversations, self study and self awareness to heal from the traumas of her childhood and adolescent years, she has had many realizations and initiations into deeper understandings of this human experience and has been gifted friendships with teachers young and old who have inspired her to do the work to make self love, integrity and compassion her most important values." . “An Outpost in the Borderlands,” Post-Orthodoxy explores the liminal spaces around changing our minds, and blazes trails into the wilds of what’s possible.

Long-time friend of the show and all around fascinating being. Our experience of Mark has been someone who's passionate about cooking, nurturing the environment and people, and tackling big projects boldly!   I asked Mark to introduce himself: "I have spent years in finance and banking and real estate development, and have an intricate knowledge of what these activities end up looking like in practice. At a certain point in my career it became obvious the corporate world wasn't right for me personally, and I preferred to live my life for a living. So I choose to spend the rest of my days building pretty spaces that everyone can use, and feeding them really good food if they want it or need it, while they are there."   “An Outpost in the Borderlands,” Post-Orthodoxy explores the liminal spaces around changing our minds, and blazes trails into the wilds of what’s possible.

"DJ eOmni, Evno, or 'that guy over there'... has spent the last 20 years observing the human condition from the fringes of the social narrative. Having obtained a PhD, thus making him un-employable by traditional standards, his main claim is that the best way to fight the suffering (dukkha), the malaise of modern life, is to create joy as much as possible - through art, music, and shared experience. Current exercises in fear, control, and separation of community seem directly focused on limiting that time of beneficial interaction. Evno has spent his life questioning everything, and encouraging others to do the same, while attempting to foster communications and community around authenticity- through teaching, radio, sacred circles, and mixed media events."   “An Outpost in the Borderlands,” Post-Orthodoxy explores the liminal spaces around changing our minds, and blazes trails into the wilds of what’s possible.

Join in our last scheduled conversation of 2021! It's time to review what we've learned, and make plans for the new year. We meander through various subjects over a few chill hours.

Don't worry, if you don't want to wonder whether the COVID treatments are causing heart problems, you don't have to! There are plenty of other explanations on the table: marijuana is causing heart problems, climate chaos is causing heart problems, childhood freedoms are causing heart problems, etc. No need to look at the monster in the corner of your eye if you don't want to.

It's a fact universally acknowledged that it is very difficult to stop gambling while you're down. Surely if you just played a little longer, you could recoup your losses. It is also very difficult to leave an unhealthy relationship, because then you'd have to face all the years you "wasted." We encounter this struggle with our belief systems and information as well. Post-Orthodoxy is about cognitive liberty and cognitive sovereignty. Are you able to change your mind when faced with new information?

THE PARTY TOLD YOU TO REJECT THE EVIDENCE OF YOUR EYES AND EARS. IT WAS THEIR FINAL, MOST ESSENTIAL COMMAND AND IF ALL OTHERS ACCEPTED THE LIE, WHICH THE PARTY IMPOSED, IF ALL RECORDS TOLD THE SAME TALE, THEN THE LIE PASSED IN TO HISTORY AND BECAME TRUTH. 1984 GEORGE ORWELL

Can you change your mind? Can you hold multiple truths in your head at once? Can you recover enough to not pay the trauma forward? Clearly we're not out to win friends and influence people, we're out for the truth. Would you rather know the truth than feel right?

How are your friends doing? What are you feeding your head? We're gonna be analyzing some dank memes and mainstream media hackery. . Vanity Fair, Newsweek, Bill Maher, Dr. Sanjay Gupta, and even the @CDC herself have finally started admitting all the lies and misinformation and corruption. Dr. Anthony Fauci got a National Geographic documentary, declared #SexiestManAlive by The Guardian, and now he's going to be thrown under the bus. We always have to have someone to blame . Millions of #HealthcareHeroes have been censored and cancelled, falling from #HeroToZero, because they didn't agree with the mainstream pandemic narrative. . Your friends and loved ones are about to be faced with the collapse of their religion. People who have blindly believed certain people in power, in an effort to feel safe and feel like they're doing something that matters for their community, are about to be beset on every side with the story collapsing. People are going to get angrier in an effort to defend the reality they have believed in and invested in and shut out loved ones over during the last 2 years. We can all read up on trauma, trauma support, and trauma awareness, and be prepared to be compassionate toward the very people who have used the mainstream pandemic to degrade, censor, cancel, and belittle their neighbors. People who have believed the mainstream pandemic narrative wholeheartedly are about to have to defend their beliefs even harder, or face the terrifying prospect of changing their minds. Dark and Ainsley have been through it, and we want to help. . Yes but how did we get here? If you're feeling crazy and isolated, you are, ironically, not alone.
