I few weeks ago I shared a few clips from Michael Levin’s interview with Lex Fridman on bioelectricity and morphogenesis. The next day, Lorraine, who had previously contributed a two-part analysis of a book on Teilhard de Chardin and the Omega Point, reached out to say that she had a piece of writing that may […]

The day before yesterday I broke out the last hour of my livestream on persuasion techniques, which centered a critique of Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s candidacy. You can watch it here. The post got a lot of comments (for my channel at least). They weren’t inflammatory, and I thank you all for that! Keep it […]

This is the stream from last night. It’s the second installment in a series Lynn Davenport, based in Dallas, and I are working on to explain the true nature of open education resources with respect to extended reality and human capital finance. Click here for part one. Slidedeck here. This part covers slides #30 to […]

I ended up doing a livestream today as part of my personal sorting out of this Substack situation. A friend passed along some information about the structure behind managed behavior change – Elaboration Likelihood Model of Persuasion. I then found a paper from BehaviorWorks Australia that provided more detail, and it explained so much about […]

I’m thinking now that what happened to me over on Celia Farber’s “The Truth Barrier” Substack was a variant on pre-bunking. If you missed the kerfluffle here’s part one, part two, and part three. Jason talks about this cognitive domain management technique in a recent video. In fact, the more I think about it, I’m […]

Very sad state of affairs over on Substack. It’s hard for me to understand what the draw is for being part of a community like that. Choose where you spend your digital minutes wisely. An author who makes accusations and won’t engage in honest dialogue doesn’t seem like such a good bargain. Thank you Cliff. […]

How did I get so lucky as to be in Celia Farber’s spotlight two days running? Click here for the first round of play, click here for the second.   Today’s attempt was to frame me as a black-pilled cynic, or rather someone who had overdosed on red-pills, which is kind of the same thing […]

Today a friend alerted me that a clip, part of my Greater Reset III deconstruction, had been spotlighted on Celia Farber’s Substack. It’s rather strange, because she tries to make the conversation about the CIA and simulations. I HAVE been talking a lot about simulations lately, but not in this clip. This clip is about […]

Last night I streamed a pre-recorded conversation with Lynn Davenport, based in Dallas, about legislation that has been introduced to adopt and fund Open Education Resources in Texas. While the bill sponsor tried to frame the effort as a way to offer printable worksheets to save money, OER has much more complex history dating back […]

I stayed up late Monday night editing a video recording I’d done with Lynn Davenport on Open Education Resources earlier in the day. First thing Tuesday morning was a forum on education for candidates running to become Philadelphia’s 100th mayor. Even though I’d reserved a spot a few weeks earlier, I was sorely tempted to […]
