The Shift with Doug McKenty

In this episode, host Doug McKenty takes a deep dive into the controversial Terrain Theory of disease with Dr. Andrew Kaufman. Though much of modern medicine is based on the notion that invading microorganisms are the root cause of disease, Dr. Kaufman questions the prevailing theory and posits environmental causes are the reason people get sick. If true, detoxification, and immune-boosting supplementation, should replace many prevalent treatment protocols which may reduce symptoms, but never achieves the homeostasis required to live a truly healthy life. He has recently produced two documentaries elucidating his position. In "Terrain: The Film" he painstakingly addresses the scientific foundations of germ theory, while "Hypocratic Hypocrisy" details a corrupt history of modern medicine allowing the propagation of treatments that may be profitable, but show little efficacy in actually curing disease.

This episode features a conversation with openly genderqueer activist and blogger Nicky Reid. Her particular blend of left-populism provides a unique perspective that crosses the left/right divide and seeks to unify all political groups under the rubric of decentralization of power. The discussion includes a nuanced critique of identity politics that respects its goal of creating a more tolerant society, while criticizing its use of moral authority and its lack of real authenticity. Nicky's work exposes the mechanization of a political empire that oppresses equally, no matter one's sexual identity or skin color, while at the same time advocating for a free and tolerant society that respects all lifestyle choices.

In this episode, host Doug McKenty discusses the controversial substance, graphene oxide, with returning guest Captain Wardrobe. This conversation utilizes Wardrobe's July 2021 article, “Graphene… and the Coming Robotnik Brain", to take a deep dive into a decades-long endeavor by military technologists to develop an electronic system on a nanoscale that can be used to both collect and transmit information to organisms jacked into the network. Now called the Internet of BioNano Things, this network utilizes graphene oxide as the principal conductor, which allows it to grow and function inside biological systems.

In this episode of The Shift, host Doug McKenty discusses the long history of cultural and social manipulations in favor of upper-class interests with author and activist Joe Atwill. Joe's first book, "Caesar's Messiah”, details the possibility that much of modern Christianity actually began as a form of Roman propaganda designed to neutralize Jewish messianic revolutionary movements. His later work describes how this penchant for social control has evolved into the modern-day through psychological operations influencing such major cultural events as the "archaic revival" of the 1960's. This conversation includes an overview of this long lineage of social control, applies it to current events, then posits critical thinking and Socratic dialogue as the path toward liberation.

This episode features a conversation with Jack Lloyd, the author of "A Definitive Guide to Libertarian Voluntaryism". Though the concept of a world without governments seems unattainable to most, and impractical to many, Jack describes a theory of society based on non-aggression that is not only possible, but may provide a vision of the future where humankind learns to live in accordance with the concept of empathic reciprocity. This system follows a two fold path based on consent ethics combined with a property rights theory that allows individuals to protect the fruits of their labor. Not only does this discussion outline the fundamental principles of the concept, but it also addresses many common criticisms.
