Yousef AlQanai, a Kuwaiti ultra marathon runner and writer and business owner shares about the sacrifice, character, and values as foundational aspect of greatness.More importantly, Yousef identifies that believe in God is foundational to having purpose. Without God there life is without purpose and meaning. This leads to making the world and morals in our own image--that is molding the world based on our own experience and morality to suit our own best interests. This inevitable leads to the the destruction of life and society and we saw clearly displayed in the 20th century with the horrors of Nazi Germany and Communist nations.

Two startling facts: What you believe about the world at 13, you will likely die believing—and what is shaping your view of the world isn’t what you think… What are the CORE influences that shape what you belief and how you move through the world? According the Barna Group (a research center in America) here is the list:MediaMediaMediaMediaMediaGov. Family(I exaggerate, watch the episode for the REAL list). This is measured by time spend and impact. Mileage may vary from culture to culture... but what isn’t changing between cultures—the amount of time you spend on screens. By the time a child is 14 they will have consumed on average 18,000 hours of media exposure – the equivalent of 6.2 years of 8-hour days of media saturation. Social media, YouTube, and TV is shaping culture MORE than religion or government or family. What about the rest of the world, maybe culture is different and family and religion or government is still impacting youth more. Maybe—I would argue probably more than in America or Europe but Asia is a few decades behind USA and USA a couple decades behind Europe as far as the decline of influence organized systems like religion or government has on a society. What we measure TODAY in culture is an indicator of what was happening 25-30 years ago in culture. Sure, there is still a huge influence in culture from religion and gov in the MENA. However, it has drastically changed in the last 20 years. AND, we have yet to see what culture will be like in 2050 once the 8-13 year olds are 38-43. We tackle the following questions:So what media is shaping culture--what does that mean?Okay sure values are changing, but isn't that a good thing? What is now acceptable in American Culture? What is the future impact of that cultural change?Where will Asia be in 2050? Robert Henderson from Episode #193 weighs in on this topic with a comment on the affect broken families have on culture.

Well—I’m doubtful anyone (who is of true positions of political power) truly cares about “democracy” for small nation of Myanmar with the 53 million. All it takes is glancing at a map to see the geographical significance. It is one of China path to the India Ocean and the AND is crucial for China-Myanmar Economic Corridor (CMEC) where there is two oil and gas pipelines which run parallel to that project China is working to secure global trade route—which secures global influence, power, and ultimately dominance. In the past 4 years an alliance has been forming the in Asia to stand against and resist China’s global dominance which has been called the QUAD. The Quad is an alliance between China and the US, India and Australia.In this episode we coverBasis 101 players in the coup and who do they “side with” (Hint not clear "good guy bad guy" here)Why does the global elite care about who is in power in Myanmar?Facebook, the demi-god of all truth and speech, has also stepped in to attempt to sway the outcome?

We have been discussing how in nearly EVERY system of belief and thought there is a belief In a battle in the Spiritual realm for the souls of mankind… We see pop culture from Stranger Things, Star Wars, Marvel, Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter . . . But how can you and I discern if the ideas we are embracing and letting in ideas that FEEL good but DO bad? That is snares and traps meant to entangle us, OR on the onset FEEL bad . . . but result in Good. Good for our selves and good for those around us?In this episode we lay a quick and fast framework that you can use to identify if a worldview, system of thought, or idea come for a good source, or evil source--positive results or negative results. It is simple--is playing out of the idea PRO human or ANTI human. Here is the catch--most ideas that position themselves as pro human are ANTI human. And most idea in modern culture that are perceived aa “anti human” are actually pro-human.We cover a few ANTI-human ideology that frame themselves as being pro human, such as:HumanismEnvironmentalism Eugenics,Woke-Anti-Racist ideologyAbortionAdditional Episode Links:Van Jones: White People have Virus -- https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8374027/CNNs-Van-Jones-says-white-liberals-worrisome-KKK.htmlMargret Sanger -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CrkrkSiFApA&t=620sAbortion and mental health: quantitative synthesis and analysis of research published 1995–2009 -- https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/the-british-journal-of-psychiatry/article/abortion-and-mental-health-quantitative-synthesis-and-analysis-of-research-published-19952009/E8D556AAE1C1D2F0F8B060B28BEE6C3D Until next time… Be a purpose seeker, truth lover, and own your future.To take more steps to live a focus life to achieve your dreams and fulfill your destiny–get my book Anchored the Discipline to Stop Drifting. https://amzn.to/2Vwb22nThank you for listening, and as always you can find me at:WhatsApp: +1-202-922-0220LucasSkrobot.comTiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@lucasskrobotLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lucasskrobotInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/lucasskrobot ★ Support this podcast ★

Russia has been headlining the past week with massive unrest, riots, the arrest of thousands due to the arrest of Navalny. Everyone is picking sides . . . but the story is far more complex that it would seem. It isn't a clear "good vs evil" story. It is more of a, "what came first the chicken or the egg?"Tim Kirby, independent journalist, returns to the show and shares what is happening on the ground across Russia and complexities of the situation. We cover:- We are seeing across news media global the riots and protests happening across Russia because of Alexei Navalny imprisonment. Who is Alexei Navalny? - Reports are saying he was arrested upon arrival to Russia from Germany after recovering from POISONING by nerve agent? (Are these allegations true? Putin?) - What is the crime/reason Russia is claiming he was arrested for? - In response people have taken to the streets - Not merely police arresting people but there is civilian vs civilian violence? - Some people say this will lead to the end of Putin’s reign, other thinks that it will dissolve and fade—not changing the geopolitical lands scape—but, maybe not. - In the past year with COVID globally we have seen unprecedented rioting across the western world that traditionally is calm—what is happening in Russia also part of a greater global geopolitical shift?

Welcome to the 200th Episode of the show . . . AAAANd we are still talking about the SAME thing. How do we understand the world rightly so we can OWN OUR FUTURES.We began with show with a premise 2 ½ years and 200 episodes ago that we all are change makers and that if only we could have the boldness and courage to overcome our fears we could boldly go out into the world and make an impact for the better. To “Change the world” to shape and own the future that our grandchildren will grow up in.And—in many ways that is true—the micro transactions that we make everyday (from how we talk to people, to where we spend our time, to the jobs and products we make and material we consume) does make up the fabric of culture and society that will be transmitted to our children and the world around us to varying degrees. But—what happens when we find ourselves in position to actually change the world but we have never developed ourselves to understand the world. To understand how to view the world and the vast systems that have been build over thousands of years of history? If we are going to change the world for the better--we must have a healthy world view and frame work by which we can know the world.

The hypocrisy is suffocating from all political parties currently in America. There are very few uniting voices of reason. Most voice are seeking to divide and further their own political agenda. I'm sure many will find my opinion divisive as well--but if we can look across the aisle and see that both side are just as guilty, that both sides are just as human and broken and fallen... Then maybe there would be a possibility to mourn how we have fallen as a society and return to a sound moral fabric to restore dignity to the state of our nation.

Have we over estimated the deadliness of covid? So doctors seem to think so.Is the cure worse than the disease?The GREEN GROCER—the ultimate cure.A recent article and study by John Hopkin's University demonstrates that COVID 19 has not attributed at any excessive deaths in America. In fact the death rate has not changed year over year as a trend. Have we over reacted and is the "cure" for covid in fact worse the the affect of Covid it self?The response to COVID across the globe has been one of fear, control, and totalitarian power grabs—allowing strip club, bars, and alcohol stores to remain open but closing churches, synagogues and mosques and school.

Today we answer a question from the audience, Sophie Scholl and the Order of the White Rose, and how us normal people can respond in the face of insult and criticism.We discuss two heroes of World War II: Sophie Scholl and Maximilian Kolbe learning how to respond in line with your ideals in the face of wickedness, criticism and death.You will face opposition by living a disciplined life by walking the road less travelled. The Question is what will you do about it and how will you RESPOND to opposition and insults and criticism. Is there validity? Is it someone who loves and cares and is genuinely seeking to understand?Is it someone who is ridiculing you and looking to destroy the good you are doing? Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest you be like him yourself. Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he be wise in his own eyes. Are you being criticized for wrong doing? Or right doing? If people are attacking you and insulting you because you new life style is hurting others or turning you into a selfish jerk . . . well then maybe it is justified and you need to re-evaluate wether it is working. If you are being criticized because you are doing good, being kinder, more generous, living healthier, telling the truth, not participating in the toxic and or illegal behavior of your old friend group…. Then rejoice—because it means you are on the right track. (This is where you need to be brutally honest with yourself and open you ears to mentor around you who can speak into your life with brutal honesty)Return Evil with Good.Bless those who curse, be patient with those who take advantage, respond gently when evil things are said about us. When slandered, we answer with kind words.

This past week, on November 10th 2020, Norway introduced a new law that "outlawed hate speech against transgender and bisexual people" even if that speech occurred in the privacy of your own home with up to a year in prison (three years for public hate speech).Is that an overstep? Or should speech be controlled?It begs the question about what does it mean, and where does this path of action lead . . . most importantly “What exactly is hate speech” AND does it actually stop “Free Speech?” Or should we have "hate speech laws" that protect privileged people groups?

Truth--it is a trigger word these says in the polarized globalized liberal landscape. Most people live in such uncertainty that they will only claim that "truth is relative" and "there is no absolutely truth", which, ironically, is a self negating statement proving there is absolutely truth. But there are Truths that I AM very certain of. Admittedly, there are many gray areas of life--but there is TRUTH. And Truth that we can be certain of. How can I say that with such confidence? Because Truth has been revealed to us, AND Truth can be tested. In this episode I break down the FRUIT and EVIDENCE of truth, how you can TEST truth, and how you too can become not only certain about Truth but can live a life of total freedom--the real freedom you have been searching for.I'll give you a hint--TRUTH sets you free. Free from depression, anxiety, self hatred, envy, criticism, fear, lust, hate, anger, and doubt. Find truth and you'll find true freedom.

We finish up this three part answer from a question from the audience with discussing an important framework that enables us to understand and sort highly complex issues in culture and society. We've have been building up to this frame work for some time now, and I'm excited for the chance to articulate this concept explicitly, which has been appearing implicitly in the thought processes of rational of the episodes since episode 1 of the podcast. We discuss the seven different areas of culture (or spheres of society) ReligonFamilyEducationEconomics (science/tech)Art entertainmentMediaGovernmentAnd how when one sphere becomes corrupt, oversteps, or abdicates isn't responsibilities toxin codependent relationship in society form and disaster is just around the corner. I dive deeper specifically with how the education system grew out of alignment through wrongful influence of the business sphere (killing analytical creative thought processes that need to be taught in schools) and by government intervention through providing student loans (resulting in skyrocketing university cost).

In this episode we field a question from the audience from Episode 160 on Social Justice.With that question we cover:Are women systemically oppressed by the tyrannically patriarchy? Who REALLY makes more money--men or women?Three Levels of Abstraction: object, experience and concept.Importance on multi variable analysis.In order for us to answer the BIG questions about systemic racism, or sexism, or what the government to do about difference "social issues". We first must develop a health and correct world view on how the difference spheres of society (religion, government, family, education etc) should function and work together.We also must develop a level of analytical thinking that looks past the surface, uni-variable analysis of the issue as hand and understand why, with in free markets and free society, are certain decisions being made or why are certain groups seeming to get less or more of their "fair share of the pie".Sources and additional Reading:Study of Big Five Personality Traits differences: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3149680/Article by Dr Farrell: http://www.menstuff.org/columns/surprise/farrell.htmlDistribution on men and women in workplace: https://www.bostonglobe.com/metro/2017/03/06/chart-the-percentage-women-and-men-each-profession/GBX22YsWl0XaeHghwXfE4H/story.html Until next time… Be a change maker, pursue truth, and own the future.To take more steps to live a focus life to achieve your dreams and fulfill your destiny–get my book Anchored the Discipline to Stop Drifting.Thank you for listening, and as always you can find me at:WhatsApp: +1-202-922-0220LucasSkrobot.comTiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@lucasskrobotLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lucasskrobotInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/lucasskrobot ★ Support this podcast ★

Fear and Love are to core drivers to boundaries. Fear causing us to run from negative consequences and love driving us towards positive relationship and outcomes. One without the other produces toxic relationships. Love or fear directed in the wrong manner produces unhealthy patterns and cycles. Fear negative results drives us from wrong doing--but that must be coupled with love to do go towards others. Through understanding some basic frameworks by which we can judge our boundaries and relationship--we are able to the see more clearly how larger system of society ought to function in a health manner. We have to know WHO we are serving and WHO we are not.What is our responsibility and what is NOT.What can we expect from the other party—and what we CANNOT.If we can not frame our personal worlds correctly we fall into codependent relationships (where we need others to need us) in order to find value and security. This fosters FREEDOM. Freedom to know what we are pursing, purpose in pursing goals and serving others—WHILE having the independence to know are not responsible FOR other people—but we do and a responsibility TO other people.Stay tuned for the next episode where we talk about the frame work and spheres and domains of societies and how they all are designed to function interdependently . . . and what happens one they overstep their domains.Sources and additional Reading: https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/evolution-the-self/201412/codependent-or-simply-dependent-what-s-the-big-difference http://www.webster.edu/student-counseling/problems/codependent.htmlhttps://proactive12steps.com/codependency/ Until next time… Be a change maker, pursue truth, and own the future.To take more steps to live a focus life to achieve your dreams and fulfill your destiny–get my book Anchored the Discipline to Stop Drifting.Thank you for listening, and as always you can find me at:WhatsApp: +1-202-922-0220LucasSkrobot.comTiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@lucasskrobotLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lucasskrobotInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/lucasskrobot ★ Support this podcast ★

Rights, Entitlements . . . and boundaries? And how our conflation of these terms are creating a toxic environment. Rights and Entitlements, strangely enough we are going to tie this into our interpersonal lives with boundaries and how most of the things I read about “boundaries” are really entitlements masquerading as rights.What is the difference between Rights and EntitlementsMuch of the same thing is happening. I see across the society and culture this self-help inner peace nonsense that masquerading as “boundaries” and “rights” that are really entitlement that will end up bankrupting your relationships.We claim these “personal rights” as “healthy boundaries” which is really self preservation to keep us safe and protected—building walls to keep us comfortable. Why? because we have assumed “comfort” is a owned to us--but it isn't.No one can make you feel anything… Often when we are believe we are victims and not powerful people we focus on our entitlement that isolates us causing us to seeks our own selfish desires. Building walls and then we expect people to give us emotional equity love and support when we haven’t nourished those relationships.Sources and additional Reading:https://www.loveaddictionhelp.com/personal-bill-of-rightshttps://medium.com/@shin.eug/rights-vs-entitlements-14428368185b https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/blogs/Swaminomics/let-s-not-confuse-entitlements/https://fee.org/articles/rights-versus-entitlements/ https://www.newsmax.com/johncylc/natural-rights-us-constitution-entitlements/2017/08/04/id/805919/Until next time… Be a change maker, pursue truth, and own the future.To take more steps to live a focus life to achieve your dreams and fulfill your destiny–get my book Anchored the Discipline to Stop Drifting.Thank you for listening, and as always you can find me at:WhatsApp: +1-202-922-0220LucasSkrobot.comTiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@lucasskrobotLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lucasskrobotInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/lucasskrobot ★ Support this podcast ★

Words matter. The meaning of our words matter. And understanding their meaning is critical to understanding our world and acting within it. In this episode we discuss justice and how it contrasts with what has come to be referred to as "Social Justice".We define the meaning of Justice, Mercy, Grace, and Judgement and "Social Justice" as defined by those who stand and march for "Social Justice".Justice makes impartial judgements regardless of race, class, or gender. Social justice make partial judgements in favor of "disempowered minorities" based on race, class and gender.Justice give each man what he is due. Social Justice redistributes what each man earns until "financial equality" is achieved.Sources and additional Reading:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_justice https://forward.com/culture/408113/tzedek-what-does-justice-really-mean-anyway/ https://www.wordfoundations.com/2019/03/16/five-categories-of-contrast-social-vs-biblical-justice/https://www.un.org/esa/socdev/documents/ifsd/SocialJustice.pdf (Page 2)https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friedrich_Hayekhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antonio_GramsciUntil next time… Be a change maker, take responsibility, own the future.Thank you for listening, and as always you can find me at:WhatsApp: +1-202-922-0220LucasSkrobot.comTiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@lucasskrobotLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lucasskrobotInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/lucasskrobot ★ Support this podcast ★
