Here is a fact I have observed in my life. The happiest and most successful people in life that I know have tended to be those that “broke the rules” and I have to say I am chief among them. Everything I did in my life involved breaking the rules. Some that were “real rules”, in other words there was some punishment if you got caught doing it. But most were what I call phantom rules. The original show was titled Episode-2872- The Big Lie – Just Follow the Rules and was first published on 8-16-21 and the original notes … Continue reading →

Talking to some of my fellow podcasters, content creators and influencers lately I have heard many of them say things like, “I don’t even bother red pilling people any more”. I often wonder if any of us have actually ever successfully “red pilled? anyone, ever? For people not familiar with the term it comes from the movie the Matrix and simply means to reach someone who has believed the lies of media and government in a way where they wake up, like Neo in the movie and see “the matrix” for what it is, a lie. I think if you’d … Continue reading →

The first time I used the phrase “from home to homestead” on the show was quite a while ago. How long ago you ask? That would have been Episode 20 recorded on July 22, 2008. This concept so resonated with people it became not just a common discussion topic, it actually inspired one couple (Johnny Max and his wife, AKA “The Queen”) to run an entire podcast for a number of years on the concept. I realized while we talk a ton about the concept of homesteading we have not looked at it from this angle in a while, so … Continue reading →

There is a math concept known as the “lowest common denominator” but this phrase is also used to describe people. It refers to, “the tendency to simplify or compromise complex ideas, art, or culture to appeal to the broadest possible audience, often at the expense of intellectual rigor or artistic merit”. The bullet points for today’s show were originally use in Episode 2548, published in June of 2019, about 6 months before the start of the CoVid Pandemic. The words proved more prophetic than I could have dreamed. So today we revisit this concept about over 5 years later. Join … Continue reading →

When I say “ditch fishing” am a using a common term amount anglers who fish very small bodies of water in urban, suburban and even somewhat rural environments. While some really could be called actual ditches, most are more accurately small creeks and road crossings are ideal places to gain access to them.

Today we look at this skill, how to find … Continue reading →

The movies, sci-fi books, etc. have all trained us via propaganda and clever narrative to fear AI in the Terminator or Matrix aspect of things. Sentient machines that wage war with humanity.

Along with the harsh reality that many of societies’ systems are ill prepared for the disruptions that are coming. And I even through in a bonus 11th threat that honestly should scare the hell out of us. All of these scenarios are dangerous and all far more likely … Continue reading →

What if I told you that children have an innate ability that is literally the key to getting what you want in life? But we see this skill as “rude” and hence society and schools beat it out of them.
