Today we discuss “gender affirming surgeries”, AI and the future of cognition, and wild foxes. Kaiser Permanente is pausing surgery on trans-presenting children—we discuss sex and gender, meaning and identity, delusion and madness. Then: unlike the physical multiverse, mental multiverses are common, and becoming more so, as AI makes it ever more difficult to know what is true. We discuss grief, and how our worlds must fork when we think, but do not know, that someone has died. Similarly, when events are unclear—who was responsible for the death of President Kennedy in 1963? Are aliens visiting Earth—we must keep multiple mental universes alive in our heads at once. Correctives to this include meeting people in person, and embracing belief systems that have timeless value. Finally: more wild foxes, this time trying to eat a raccoon carcass. Included: discussion of the evolution of territoriality, parental care, and animal behavior more generally.

My Original Conspiracy "Theory"
The first podcast that I really fell in love with was Dan Carlin's Hardcore History, and also his political podcast Common Sense. That was when I realized that I actually do enjoy learning and enjoy reading.
Anyway, during a February 2014 Common Sense episode titled Poking the Bear, he accurately predicted that US meddling in overthrowing the Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych (through what is called a color revolution) would eventually provoke Russia into invading Ukraine. Many political commentators noticed this at the time as well, not just Dan.
(For reference: https://www.dancarlin.com/product/common-sense-270-poking-the-bear/)
Well, I had my first huge red-pill moment back then. In 2014, I remember Dan, and other political commentators, were gaining traction pointing out the folly of US foreign policy but then in October 2014 then gay marriage was legalized and never again did I see any mention of Ukraine.
