The nuclear family is under attack maybe more than every before in history—Today we discuss why some are working to erode family values, and why we must defend it . . .In this episode we talk about:How to escape povertyRole and strength of the Nuclear FamilyWhy Black Lives Matter as a movement is dangerousWhy we must discern truth NOT just push for "change"Why Cults and socialism push to destroy traditional familyAnd most importantly why (if you care about your children and grandchildren) you must fight to preserve the values and morality with the family is build upon.What Marx and Engle REALLY believed (according to what they wrote) AND why it is so deadly. The fruit of Marxist ideals is death. We have witnessed the destruction of nations, murder of 100+ of millions of lives all in the name of progress unto and new man, new society, and equality.And we have seen the fruit of healthy families building generational wealth through family godly morals and values--ideas free for anyone to implement and better their life today and thereby help their communities rise out of poverty and pain.

During the Chinese Cultural Revolution Totalitarian control was carried forth by undermining traditional morality, the family unit and public displays of violence through struggle session to strike terror into the hearts of the people because if you could strike terror in the hearts of men and women—you could control society.If you remember a couple episode back E156 we discussed six traits of totalitarian cults we discussed why these orgs break up the family and why they use public punishment, shame, justified violence, to control the massive through eliminating a safe haven to turn (family) and through creating terror through public killings that are irrational.In 1840 China began to modernize from traditional Chinese. Over about a 80 year period of time there were multiple wars in China that led to China adopting a Communist State in 1921.Communism adopted ideas from Darwin and social Darwinism—and believed the violent struggle was the only way forward to progress as a species.In the 1920s in the USSR there were public show trial where people were falsely accused of baseless crimes and executed. Russia was looking for Comrades to take over the world. In China they had been suffering set backs, disappointment and lack of global recognition after WWI.They turned to Communism and Lenin Marxism: promised utopia but adopted ideas of no private land ownership, violent revolution, and destruction of traditional values.The CCP was enacted genocide against anyone within or outside of the party who displayed individuality or independent thought. You could not have your own opinion—just that of the party’s talking point.In 1952 2.4 Million killed "anti-revolutionaries"Some estimated 5 Million killed from the KTM partyAnd some 10 million killed in the Land Reforms.Communism used LIES to justify violence, altered and conceal historical truth, and closed loops of logic and manipulation of justice:Muder is not allowed—except if someone betrays the partyHonor your parents—except if they are "counter revolutionaries".China Communist documents out lines the abolition of the family rooted in region (Daoism, Buddhism). So they started to destroy temple, kick out the monks and make them join secular society, destroy statues, burn scripture.Additional Resources:CCP: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Communist_Party_of_ChinaKMT: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KuomintangStruggle Sessions: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Struggle_sessionGuangxi Massacre: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guangxi_MassacreChinese Cultural Revolution: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cultural_Revolution#Humanitarian_crisisVideo series on Communist China: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLED64004A96BE76FAUntil 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 ★

French Revolution began 150 years of chaos, war, bloodshed, revolution…. Each movement being eaten by the next…France in the 1789 had LOTS of problems: high tax on poor, Rich, oppression etc. CLEARLY in need of Revolution. America had just gone through their own revolution. But the ideal of these two revolutions were VERY different.In America, the Puritan and Protestants came over in search from religious freedom. They adopted ideas of Milton on freedom of speech and the dangers of censorship.They adopted believed in the premise that the INDIVIDUAL was the supreme expression of the state. And the state was in place to EMPOWER the individual.John Adams’ Declaration of the Rights of the Inhabitants of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, ratified in 1780, provides the basic framework for American governing philosophy: “All men are born free and equal, and have certain natural, essential, and unalienable rights; among which may be reckoned the right of enjoying and defending their lives and liberties; that of acquiring, possessing, and protecting property; in fine, that of seeking and obtaining their safety and happiness.”Note: This put the power and responsibility into the hands of the individual. Liberty in the hand of the individual… the seeking and obtaining safety and happiness was the individual’s responsibility.France’s 1789 Declaration of the Rights of Man is an ode to the collective. “The principle of all sovereignty resides essentially in the nation. No body nor individual may exercise any authority which does not proceed directly from the nation,” it states. “Law is the expression of the general will.”The guide of the French Revolution was not liberty—but “Equality”. Not individual freedom—but the government responsibility to level the playing field and give equity to all people.The America Revolution the PEOPLE gave power to the government, in the French the GOV/collective give power to the people.In the years following the American revolution we see peaceful governance.In the years following the French Revolution we see the Reign of Terror with mass execution “for the common good” . . . they hunted down nobles and business owners and beheaded them without trials.The premise was IF there was an inequality it was due to oppression—and oppression must be punished “To punish the oppressors of humanity is clemency; to forgive them is cruelty” RobespierreEQUALITY was more important that LIBERTY.Maximilien Robespierre was monumental in sparking the French revolution… and ironically he was also lead to the guillotine when the people decided he too had too much power and an oppressor.That is the issue here—one of many in the post modern marxist ideologies… those who lead the revolution often meet the same fate and the fury of the movement for equality continues to eat those who bring leadership.It is the ouroboros —the self eating snake. Self destructive never satisfying force of chaos and destruction.The French Revolution was lead by ANTI religious. It was largely sparked by an Anti-Clerical movement—AKA secularism.They created a new religion to replace the Roman Catholic Church (which was in desperate need for reform). But instead of reforming—the torn it down, killed 16000+ clergy and nobles, and set up the Cult of Reason. Doing away with God—Mandated religion.(Note the difference—freedom of religion vs MANDATE religion. Individual freedom and liberty vs subject to the state to press for equality.)So—is the fact that it was a revolution that makes this Totalitarian? By no means—America had a revolution around the same time but the ideas and results were very different.The French revolution was Totalitarian in idealogy because the idea was absolutely control over the individual for the sake of “equality” and with that came state mandated religion—a very different idea from the America Revolution—Freedom of religion.First came the “Cult of Reason” that supplanted the Catholic church (Supplanting one mandated religion with another)Here is where is gets really crazy and we see the extreme censorship and control of media and the totality of Totalitarian even in their erasure and rewriting of history.Post Modern Leftist revolutions seek to erase and rewrite history so the past can completely be forgotten so that there is NO OTHER option—no descending voice—no other way of thinking.The “Cult of Reason” Did away with the Gregorian calendar and set up a NEW calander to erase christianity, religion, and the past.(Tear everything down and start over mentality VS let us learn from the past and slowly improve upon the foundations)What did they do?First introduced in 1788 and adopted in Oct 1793 – did away with 7 day week, replaced with 10 days.Three “Dedaces” instead of week. With the name of the months being “snow” Rain, Vintange, fruits, heat, harvest, seedtime.Replace the names of the Greek Roman Gods with scientific names.Replaced all the Christian Holiday with holidays around the State and Political events (Putti

There are six traits of totalitarian cults: 1) Control of the environment2) A system of rewards and punishments3) Creating a sense of powerlessness4) Fear and dependency5) Reforming the follower’s behavior and attitudes6) Closed system of logic. These were described by Margaret Singer’s Cults in Our Midst (1996). In 1952, Asch wrote: ‘The greater man’s ignorance of the principles of his social surroundings, the more subject is he to their control; and the greater his knowledge of their operations and of their necessary consequences, the freer he can become with regard to them.’ Sources and additional resources: https://aeon.co/essays/how-cult-leaders-brainwash-followers-for-total-control https://www.fecris.org/uncategorized/david-brear-the-universal-identifying-characteristics-of-a-cult/ Until next time… Be a change maker, take responsibility, own the future.

In this episode, I break down some of my thoughts from a previous episode with Dr Egnor (E153).If you see a group movement or state that denies the individual's though, variety of opinion, agency and replaces it with group identity, social constructionism, and uses fear based terror based tactics such as cancel culture, intimidation, isolation, and the deconstructing of the family unit you are likely to be dealing with a group with Totalitarian tendencies (if not be a full blow totalitarian movement).Links referenced in the show:Solomon Asch: http://psycnet.apa.org/psycinfo/1952-00803-001Nicolae Ceausescu LAST SPEECH: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wWIbCtz_XwkThe Greengrocer: Power of the Powerless by Vaclav Havel: https://www.nonviolent-conflict.org/wp-content/uploads/1979/01/the-power-of-the-powerless.pdfUntil 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 ★

How can we take responsibility for the pain in our lives and not pass that pain on?Our words have the potential to release us from the perpetual pain of traumatic experiences.In the second part of my conversation with Dr. James Pennebaker, we discuss healthy ways individuals can process traumatic experiences and the power of expressive writing.Dr. Pennebaker is a social psychologist and currently holds the position of the Regents Centennial Professor of Liberal Arts at the University of Texas at Austin.His work highlights the effects of natural language on the mental and physical health of people.

Did you know your usage of pronouns and prepositions might reveal parts of your personality that you’re not even aware of? Language is powerful, even the words you don’t even think about, like pronouns.Our guest Dr. James Pennebaker is a social psychologist and currently holds the position of the Regents Centennial Professor of Liberal Arts at the University of Texas at Austin. He studies the ways emotional experiences, natural language, and physical and mental health all affect one another.We discuss the language used by the President and former Presidents, analyses of the language used during coronavirus as an indicator of mental well-being, and findings presented in his most recent book, The Secret Life of Pronouns: What Our Words Say About Us. https://amzn.to/3dARYraFind more conversations like this one at lucasskrobot.com or contact me through WhatsApp at +12029220220. Go out and own the future.Key takeaways:James Pennebaker’s work was born out of a need to base psychological on real-world behaviors.Some parts of speech are processed in the brain differently than others. Knowing this, one can understand people better through the language they use.When analyzing the language used by people during the coronavirus pandemic, Dr. Pennebaker found significant increases in anxious language and a decrease in language suggesting anger. This is beginning to reverse.What to listen for:01:44 How did you, as a social psychologist, decide to study people’s words?6:33 Dr. Pennebaker discusses his findings of his language analyzing software, Linguistic Inquiry & Word Count (LIWC), which countered stereotypical perceptions about gender and language patterns.10:19 How do we process various components of language differently in our brains?20:00 Deceit is very difficult to detect, even for computers. Dr. Pennebaker explains why.25:06 Pronoun usage provides insight into how a person, even the President of the United States, might be thinking. 31:58 Analysis of Trump and Obama’s tweets while in office35:20 Pronoun usage can indicate states of mental health.36:40 What are you seeing through language analyses happening during the COVID-19 pandemic?43:08 What will the future look like after COVID-19?

In part two of my discussion with Dr. Michael R. Egnor, we continue our discussion about neurophilosophy.In this episode, Dr. Egnor brings attention to the importance of embracing the free will of humanity.Dr. Egnor is an award-winning brain surgeon and a research professor of Neurosurgery and Pediatrics at the State University of New York.You can find additional articles written by Dr. Egnor at discovery.org. Key takeaways:Logical reasoning alongside empirical evidence of physics concludes humans have free will.Experiments in neuroscience also affirm the existence of a free will.Denying free will has societal consequences; for instance, totalitarian states are founded in the denial of free will.References:Articles by Dr. Michael Egnor What to listen for:1:30 Humans are the only thing in creation that bridges the material and immaterial.3:31 How do we know that we have a free will? Reasons of logic and physics point to free will.7:07 Physicists in the 1970s asked questions about free will and tested the idea through experiments which concluded that observation itself is a form of creation in the universe.11:34 Neuroscience asked similar questions. Wilder Penfield and Benjamin Libet pioneered the question of free will in the department of neuroscience.22:11 What are the consequences of believing things like determinism or materialism?32:55 Individuals who even think of free will are lethal to a totalitarian state. Personal agency is the antidote to totalitarianism.39:08 How should we analyze the governmental response to COVID-19 through a free-will affirming lens?44:36 Dr. Egnor’s final takeaway for the listeners.48:40 Concluding commentsQuotes:“Free will is essential to human dignity.” 21:45“The denial of free will is the cornerstone of totalitarian systems.” 31:00Thank you for being a dedicated listener.

Dr. Michael R. Egnor discusses the intersection of philosophy and neuroscience in today’s episode.He is a research professor of Neurosurgery and Pediatrics at the State University of New York.As an award-winning brain surgeon, Dr. Egnor brings a unique perspective to our discussion about the difference between the mind and the brain.You can find additional articles written by Dr. Egnor at discovery.org.Key takeaways:While operating on brains becomes easier with time, the interpersonal and emotional challenges of the job persist throughout the years.Modern materialism takes materialism to the extreme and suggests that we’re “just the machine.”The mind transcends the material.Aristotle suggested that one comes to know things by knowing both their form and matter.Humans are both body, soul, and spirit.What to listen for:01:45 Dr. Egnor describes what it is like to operate on a person’s brain. While he likens the operation to typing or playing the piano, he acknowledges the emotional and interpersonal challenges in his job.09:01 Dr. Egnor explains his dualistic understanding of the mind vs. the brain.16:29 The mind differs from the brain because it has the property of intentionality.22:08 Dr. Egnor provides a thought experiment to explain that minds must transcend materials—the zombie problem.24:02 How do human minds differ from other species?28:41 Dr. Egnor explains the Aristotelian-Thomistic understanding of the mind. Reference materials:Articles by Dr. Michael EgnorQuotes:“My wife jokes with me that meeting me is always the worst part of a person’s life.” 03:45“The mind is the antithesis of computation.” 16:29“We are a soul and body as one unit. The soul has powers of intellect and will. Though they are involved with the body, they do not come from the body.” 38:30 “Human beings have a spirit in the sense that there are powers of the human mind that do not come from matter.” 44:20 Thank you for being a dedicated listener.

Disclaimer: We are two individuals processing, examining, and seeking to understand the complex aftermath of the brutal killing of George Floyd. We both are working through these ideas out loud with one another. This is what we need to do. Dialogue with one another even if your ideology sits outside of one political identity group. (Especially if your ideology sits outside main stream arguments).We are blessed to live in a country where we have freedom of speech, thought, and agency. Both of us in this episode confess that we might not agree or belief something we said in this conversation next week. And that is a good thing. We must set dogmatism to the side...and have open honest conversation with out leveling personal attacks or character assumptions, HOWEVER . . . we must love and seek out the truth.We all must have the freedom to disagree with ideas--and then present rational arguments for or against, not name calling. So, please--if you want to message me, or Steve, disagreeing about something, or asking clarification about something, please do. We are not experts. We are individuals seeking to understand all sides, love all people, and speak truth.And we are open changing our ideas, and seeing the world in a truer light.Love and Truth,Lucas SkrobotYou can find Steve here: http://www.instagram.com/SteveWeigel ★ Support this podcast ★

He also co-authors the high school and college science curriculum. He is also the author of the book titled Unbelievable: 7 Myths about the History of Science and Religion. Introduction One of the mysteries on earth that has remained unsolved is whether supernatural creatures appeared on this planet as a savior of humanity to stop nuclear warfare and bring peace among all religions, science, and others. Another fascinating fact is that humans cannot distinguish an actual supernatural being and alien natural being. In this podcast, Doctor Michael Keas helped shed more light on these topics.In this episode, we talked about: Are Extra-Terrestrial REAL?

But, the important quality to develop within ourselves is grit and determination to keep learning, and they to figure our the pain and problems of the world--and solve them. We also hit on principles to grow an economy, and how to help develop your employees.Stay tuned for part two (E142) where we continue the discussion about trillionaires, ego, and growing your network.Follow Masoud at:https://www.phaze.ro/https://www.linkedin.com/in/masoud-al-rawahi-15bb0714/ Thank you for being a dedicated listener.

I've been thinking a lot about "tolerance" lately--and what it truly means to be tolerance. Tolerance is the freedom to criticize all ideas, ideologies, religions, system etc, WHILE loving those who hold ideals and values that are different than ours. In Episode 135 Dahlia Rahaimy and I talk about power of disagreement and how you can maintain relationships and love for one another without compromising on your values. This conversation got me thinking about "tolerance" and how we need the capacity to think critically about the implications of ideas while engaging in vulnerable relationship with those we hold disagreements with. As I pondered tolerance I thought of my conversation with Brandon Polk back in E022 where he also gives a similar definition of tolerance, the importances to being free to dissect ideas, with the emphasis on not judging the individual (rather judging ideas) and engaging in relationship with people who are not like us. Listen to this important mash up that if applied will open many doors for you to understand the world more clearly while freeing to think for yourself without falling into tribalism or identity politics or ostracizing the "other".Follow Dahlia here:https://www.linkedin.com/in/sauditimes/And Branden Polk here:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/brandenpolkWebsite: https://www.arrowheadadvising.com/who-we-areAlso... if you are feeling STUCK and want to take steps forward in this season to live a focus life, achieve your dreams, and fulfill your destiny–get my book Anchored the Discipline to Stop Drifting.Until next time…Be a change maker, weave your destiny, own the future.Thank you for listening, and as always you can find me at:LucasSkrobot.comTiktokLinkedInInstagram ★ Support this podcast ★

Amateurs show up when they feel like it, Professionals show up when they don't . . . but it isn't enough to just "show up". Show up day in and day out and putting in the reps like a pro--doesn't make us grow. And it won't cause us to reach our goals. But, when we take time to reflect, and be intentional with our reps and with our training--that is what causes us to grow. Have you taken time to pause and reflect? Or are you just pumping out mindless reps?
