S6E21 - Spycraft, Superintelligence and Living Ideas (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This episode kicks off with a question about Hollywood and what goes into deciding who gets to become a celebrity with the power to influence the public. This unfolds into an eye-opening exploration of celebrities with known ties to the intelligence apparatus. A few curveballs later, and we learn that both Harriot Tubman and Harry Houdini were steeped in spycraft! From here we turn to the topic of AI, including Chris' re-telling of Daniel Kokotaijo's recent warnings on the Joe Rogan podcast, epi
S6E20 - The Cross and the Crescent Moon (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Opinion Scholarship on the birth of Islam! In this episode we examine the life of Muhammad and discuss the psychological significance of the tragedies that shaped his life...and, by extension, the religion of Islam. This is history, as told from the psychologist's couch, but not just that.

It describes how the Pharaoh's soul becomes divine through a kind of communion ritual, where the Eucharist is the gods of the Egyptian pantheon. It instructs the
S6E17 - Gandalf the Red Part 11 - A Holy Affliction (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In this episode Chris returns to Opinion Scholarship on Carl Jung's infamous Red Book. We cover 3 of Jung's visions, which pick up where we left off...when Jung discovered that he and God are not distinct beings, but One. Today's visions take us into Jung's depths, where he must confront Christianity, the shackles of his own ego and the very thing he most wants to avoid--his Shadow. What a frightening thing it must be, after discovering that you and God are One, to realize that your Shadow is al
