**INTERVIEW: DR. JOSEPH SANSONE
LEGAL BATTLES AND LEARNED HELPLESSNESS
MAY, 26TH, 2024 AARON SMITH SEASON 1 EPISODE 71**
SHOW NOTES: (AI generated)
Can the fight for constitutional rights and public health intersect in a battle against mRNA injections? That's the question Dr. Joseph Sansone, a psychotherapist turned legal activist, answers as he recounts his journey from a resolution to ban mRNA injections with the Republican Party in Florida to facing censorship and his own health battles. In this Episode, we tackle the complexities of resisting perceived medical tyranny, the pivotal role of grassroots political engagement, and how to turn away from mainstream narratives to uncover deeper truths.
As society grapples with apathy and the ominous shadow of learned helplessness, our discussion ventures into the realms of judicial review, strategic legal maneuvering, and the indispensable power of individual action. We dissect the psychological underpinnings of resistance, the impact of diffusion of responsibility on societal engagement, and the imperative of a proactive, rather than reactive, approach to confronting critical issues that threaten our fundamental rights and human dignity.
Wrapping up our thought-provoking session, we probe the delicate interplay between faith, health, and morality in the face of global crises. Dr. Sansone imparts his wisdom on navigating life's challenges with resilience, advocating for faith as a beacon of hope and the significance of acting on one's convictions. It's an episode that not only shines a light on pressing controversies but also empowers you with the belief that every individual is capable of making a tangible, real-world impact.

**INTERVIEW JAMES ROGUSKI: SILENCE IS CONSENT
MAY, 12TH, 2024 AARON SMITH SEASON 1 EPISODE 70**
SHOW NOTES: (AI generated)
When Mother's Day rolled around, we couldn't think of a better way to celebrate than by inviting James Roguski back to The subtlecain Podcast. His passion for natural health advocacy and personal health sovereignty align perfectly with the nurturing spirit of the day, offering a wealth of knowledge to empower our listeners in making informed healthcare decisions.
Throughout the episode, we peel back the deceptive layers of health regulations, exposing how easily we can be lulled into complacency by comforting yet misleading terms like "One Health." With James's expertise, we confront the historical narrative that has led to a healthcare system prioritizing profit over patient care. We share stories that highlight the stark contrast between personalized healthcare and a one-size-fits-all approach, urging a return to treating individuals, not just symptoms.
We wrap up with an urgent call to action, encouraging our community to embrace their voices in advocating for transparency and ethics in medical treatments. As we navigate the complexities of global health agreements and potential misinformation, we emphasize the significance of community involvement and informed consent. Join us to explore how each of us can take steps towards not only protecting our health rights but also holding our government officials accountable for the decisions that impact our well-being.

**INTERVIEW DOC MALIK: DON'T GIVE IN TO THE FEAR
MAY, 5TH, 2024 AARON SMITH SEASON 1 EPISODE 69**
SHOW NOTES: (AI generated)
As I, Aaron Smith, join forces with Dr. Ahmed Malik—a former surgeon who swapped his scalpel for the mic—we strip away the veneer of healthcare conformity to share his raw, transformative journey. Together, we navigate the choppy seas of speaking out against medical norms, daring to pull back the curtain on the industry. The costs and triumphs of such audacity are laid bare in our candid, sometimes explicit conversation, which might not be suitable for our younger listeners but is true to the spirit of challenging the status quo.
This episode isn't just about the personal—it's a reflection on the societal threads unraveling as civil debates decay into acrid disputes. I share my own dust-ups with contentious figures, including Chris Elston, to showcase the emotional landmines that litter the landscape of modern dialogue. From digital echo chambers to the courage it takes to stand steadfast in one's convictions, we dissect the importance of embracing authenticity and engaging in discussions that respect our differences. Because maintaining the ability to respectfully disagree could be the cornerstone of our society's future.
Our health—often relegated to a footnote in traditional education systems—takes center stage as we champion the power of sleep and the potential of fasting. We raise concerns about the gaps in our institutions where well-being should be paramount and consider the ancestral wisdom that might just hold the keys to a healthier life. From fasting's role in tackling insulin resistance to the nurturing embrace of sleep, we encourage a reconnection with knowledge often overlooked yet crucial for optimal health. Dr. Malik and I don't just share insights; we impart experiences, hoping to empower you on a path less traveled, but perhaps more fulfilling.

**INTERVIEW PATRICK WOOD: MAD WORLD
APRIL, 22ND, 2024 AARON SMITH SEASON 1 EPISODE 68**
SHOW NOTES: (AI generated)
Prepare to be captivated as Patrick Wood, renowned author and expert on the fusion of technocracy and transhumanism, joins us on The subtlecain Podcast. With a keen historical lens, Patrick unravels the complex tapestry of technocratic and transhumanist thought, tracing its evolution from the 1930s to its current manifestation. As we examine the legacy of Howard Scott and the ideological battles of the past century, our conversation reveals how these historical threads are woven into the fabric of today's societal challenges.
Venturing further into our discussion, Patrick and I dissect the seductive yet deceptive nature of technological advances and their intersection with the green movement. The pursuit of god-like status through transhumanism echoes the ancient narrative of Babel, but with Silicon Valley's twist. We lay bare the spiritual ramifications of such ambitions, contemplating the implications for individuals and society as a whole. This segment of our dialogue offers an eye-opening perspective on the very essence of human progress and the potential pitfalls of blind technological worship.
In a world increasingly enamored with the promises of artificial intelligence, Patrick and I explore how to anchor ourselves in reality. We consider the power of human connection, love, and service as antidotes to the isolating and disorienting effects of an AI-centric society. As our conversation concludes, we leave listeners with an empowering message: amidst the encroaching cold mechanics of a science-driven world, it is our innate capacity for compassion and connection that remains our strongest bastion of hope.

**FOR PRION OUT LOUD PART 1
APRIL, 7TH 2024 AARON SMITH SEASON 1 EPISODE 67**
SHOW NOTES: (AI generated)
Have you ever wondered just how deep the rabbit hole goes when it comes to the science and satire surrounding public health policies? I'm Aaron Smith, and this episode pulls back the curtain on the controversial topic of mRNA COVID vaccines, with a sprinkle of humor to start us off. We kick things off with a spoof recording that might make you chuckle, but then we get down to the nitty-gritty. Why have I chosen to steer clear of the jab? It's not a decision I've made lightly, and I'm here to share the peer-reviewed research that's had me thinking twice. Together with special contributor Brock Tanslacks, we're stirring up a crucial conversation about vigilance and personal choice in the face of experimental medical treatments.
Strap in for a chapter that shifts gears from playful banter to the pressing issue of potential health risks that accompany uncharted scientific territory. Adopting the mindset of 'guilty until proven innocent,' we examine the principle of doing no harm in the face of emergency medical interventions. And as we ponder the hypothesis correlating the spike protein in COVID vaccines with prion diseases, it's clear that this is no laughing matter. The stakes are high, and the need for greater scrutiny is evident. By the end of this episode, you'll have a whole new perspective on the delicate balance of information and the implications our health choices today could have for years to come.

**THEY BLINDED US WITH SCIENCE REVISITED
MARCH, 24TH 2024 AARON SMITH SEASON 1 EPISODE 66**
SHOW NOTES:Back in December of 2021, I released an Episode called, They Blinded us with Science. This little talk was about Scientism as a religion, rather than the scientific method being applied to the natural world in order to discover replicable and reliable inferences about the world we live in. I believe that it’s aged well and, since I have picked up many new listeners, I thought I’d bring it forward. I cleaned it up a little and tried to add a little flavor at the beginning and the end for you. So, please indulge me this short holiday. I hope you enjoy this flashback episode. In the very near future, I will be going over some medical information that I’ve come across and I think that this is an important precursor to that.

INTERVIEW: TERRY WOLFE-WAR OF THE WORDS
JANUARY, 28TH 2024 AARON SMITH SEASON 1 EPISODE 62
SHOW NOTES:
Imagine a world orchestrated by the intellectual elites, a place where technocracy reigns supreme over passion and chaos. Isn't that just a utopian dream or perhaps a prelude to a dystopian nightmare? Terry Wolfe, a mind whose intellect dances on the pages of his acclaimed works, graces us once again to unwrap the intellectual tussle between H.G. Wells and George Orwell. Spiraling through Wells's vision of an orderly New World Order and contrasting it with Orwell's somber warnings in "1984," we carve a path through the dense forest of their ideologies, drawing lines that connect to the roots of today's global power plays.
As the world spins on the axis of progress, are we inching closer to the brink of a society that is too controlled, too designed? Terry and I navigate the intricacies of Orwell's fear of a technocracy that chokes the natural, untamed parts of humanity. We dissect the aspirations and anxieties that echo in the halls of modern thought, legacies left by Wells and his contemporaries. This isn't just a casual chat; it's a deep-sea exploration into the abyss of societal reform and the chilling ripples it sends across our collective consciousness.
We don't just stop at the cerebral, though. This episode sails into the speculative seas of Wells's allegories, discussing their startling relevance in an age grappling with global warming and UFOs. Could the rise in public interest in extraterrestrial life signal a cosmic shift in consciousness? We touch upon the spiritual and the speculative, questioning the existence of interdimensional beings and their possible impact on global transformation. Join us on this profound journey as we examine the threads that weave together politics, spirituality, and human belief, culminating in a conversation that's as much about personal awakening as it is about the societal metamorphosis we all find ourselves a part of.

MORE HUMANE THAN HUMAN
DECEMBER 17, 2023 AARON SMITH SEASON 1 EPISODE 59
SHOW NOTES:Have you ever thought about how our media consumption has become a barrier to our active participation in the community? Imagine a day, a week, or even a whole life without media – a provocative thought, right? It behooves us to consider our society's deep reliance on media and its effects. In today's episode, we ponder the possibilities of a world where our energies are invested in fostering positive changes in our communities, rather than being lost in the vortex of consumerism.
After a peek into our media-obsessed culture, we transition into a thoughtful discussion on the essence of charity. Challenging conventional wisdom, we ponder the notion of a society without poverty, inspired by CS Lewis's words. Despite this vision, the importance of continued generosity is stressed, emphasizing the need to give more than we can afford to spare. As we conclude this heartwarming conversation, we leave you with a profound reminder that each one of us is cherished, valuable, and loved. I wish you a Merry Christmas and a life filled with abundant blessings. Tune in for this captivating message as we challenge societal norms and promote a sense of community and generosity.

JUST CAN'T GET ENOUGH

SHOW NOTES:
Today, in Episode 48- Just Can't Get Enough, I cover the importance of performing a sort of triage in our lives. I suggest that information overload and the fear porn industry has compromised our ability to live in the moment. Do you have a hope that transcends the circumstances of your life? Christians celebrate the Resurrection today, the ultimate manifestation of hope. Wherever you are, whatever your situation, I want you to know that you are never really alone. Happy Easter!

MODERN GUILT WITH PETE GAHAGAN
MARCH 12, 2023 AARON SMITH SEASON 1 EPISODE 47
SHOW NOTES:Today’s topic of interest is the ethical framework known as Effective Altruism. The discussion we had is loosely based on an article by Maddie Bannon, Shakedowns and Shibboleths. Please take some time to read the article. The link is below. You may not care about the FTX scandal or SBF, but the ethical framework, and its historical context are something that all of us should give some attention to, based on the potential implications Effective Altruism may have on our lives.
This is Episode 47 of The subtlecain Podcast, Modern Guilt, featuring guest co-host, Pete G. I sincerely hope that you are not amused.

SHOW NOTES:
Today, in Episode 46, I will differentiate between equity and equality, and propose a connection between Social Darwinism and equity. I also propose an inherent element of racism that macro-evolution and equity suggest in practice.

SINS OF THE FATHER PART 3
NOVEMBER 06, 2022 AARON SMITH SEASON 1 EPISODE 39
SHOW NOTES:
Today, in Episode 39, we go through the last installment of this series, though it will not be the last time we address the topic of eugenics. I am typically quite capable of maintaining a certain dispassionate objectivity about a topic, but I suppose we all have our kryptonite. I ask you once again to consider the syllogism I proposed in Part 1 of this series. These are just a small collection of links for those interested in further research.

SHOW NOTES:
Today, in Episode 37 we transition into negative eugenics and some of the major players in the movement in the United States at the turn of the 20th century. We examine not only the words of these individuals, but also their actions and their underlying ideology.

SINS OF THE FATHER PART 1
OCTOBER 02, 2022 AARON SMITH SEASON 1 EPISODE 36
SHOW NOTES:
Today, in Episode 36, we begin looking into the history of early eugenics and refresh our deductive reasoning. Herbert Spencer, Charles Darwin, Thomas Robert Malthus, and Francis J. Galton are introduced in Part 1. As we progress through the topic, we will examine the historical manifestations of eugenics and investigate whether there are modern day examples of this ideology in practice under a new set of circumstances and terminology. Here's a hint, there appears to be a whole lot of lipstick on this particular pig...

WHO ARE YOU?
SEPTEMBER 18, 2022 AARON SMITH SEASON 1 EPISODE 35
SHOW NOTES:
Today, in Episode 35, we take a closer look at the concept of identity and the mechanisms by which we define who we are. It is a constant tension that we battle with in all of our lives. How do we determine not only who we are, but who we ought to be. The essence of who we are is a reflection of who we believe we ought to be. The distance between those things can have a massive influence on our mental, physical, and spiritual health.

EYES WITHOUT A FACE
AUGUST 21, 2022 AARON SMITH SEASON 1 EPISODE 33
SHOW NOTES:
Today, in Episode 33, we discuss how social media impacts our self-perception and our perception of the world around us. We live in what I like to call a "Billboard Society". Social media profiles are sanitized versions of who we are that we present to the world with the hope that we will be accepted and liked. The positive and negative feedback we receive online can coerce us into conformity or silence. If our meaning is not built on something that transcends the trends, we will never know who we truly are apart from them.

AUGUST 07, 2022 AARON SMITH SEASON 1 EPISODE 32
SHOW NOTES:
Today, in Episode 32, we discuss the importance of being able to perceive our own capacity for evil and the difference between someone choosing to sacrifice for others and someone being coerced into sacrificing for the collective. The humility we gain through honest introspection helps us avoid the arrogance of self-righteousness.

SHOW NOTES:
Today, in Episode 31, we think through differences between dictatorships and totalitarian governments.

GOOD VIBRATIONS
JULY 03, 2022 AARON SMITH SEASON 1 EPISODE 30
SHOW NOTES:
Today, in Episode 30, we contemplate the balance of life. Has society surrendered their ability to self-regulate, empowering the technocrats in their ambitions? I propose something I call holistic homeostasis and ask what the significance of internal versus external controls is. We also spend a few minutes on the question of whether or not it is likely the actual words of the Declaration of Independence mean and how the current government might respond to a similar document today.

MACHINE HEAD
JUNE 19, 2022 AARON SMITH SEASON 1 EPISODE 29
SHOW NOTES:
Today we are once again joined by Pete G for a discussion about The World Economic Forum and some of its goals. We also venture into the ideology that drives it members, by there own admission. The belief that there are people qualified to guide and oversee the entire human race, the environment and the aspirations of the world's billions of personalities is not new. It's technocracy and it's anti-human.
ADDENDUM:I need to correct the record for a statement I made in this episode regarding global mortality. A lack of clean drinking water and associated diseases are a major cause of mortality in the world but they are not the leading causes. For more in depth information regarding global mortality I have included the following links. I always try to make sure I have my facts straight. When I am wrong I will always correct the record, when I am made aware of it. It's better to be accurate than to sound confident!

Today in Episode 26, we consider the importance of free-speech and the ability to engage in rational argumentation about the world around us.

SHOW NOTES:Today in Episode 25, I have a discussion with Pete Gahagan (AKA Pete G) about central bank digital currencies (CBDC). We discuss some of the history behind the initiative and potential implications for society. CBDCs are a manifestation of Howard Scott's dream of technocracy.

NOT EVERYBODY WANTS TO RULE THE WORLD
APRIL 10, 2022 AARON SMITH SEASON 1 EPISODE 24
SHOW NOTES:Today in Episode 24, we start diving into the history of technocracy and begin making connections to some of the current initiatives being put forward by high level officials and major influencers. The technocratic controls being implemented around the world are a real threat to human autonomy and if we educate ourselves about how this ideology has progressed over the years, we are more likely to understand the trajectory of our society. The past can be a powerful predictor of the future.

BULLS ON PARADE
MARCH 27, 2022 AARON SMITH SEASON 1 EPISODE 23
SHOW NOTES:Today, in Episode #23, we examine the balance between being informed and gratuitous consumption of negative, and often misleading, information. Does the perceived benefit of being informed, outweigh the harm from an imbalance of hope and tragedy? Are we being led around like cattle to be corralled, when we spend so much time and energy listening to voices we know are untruthful and manipulative? I ask these questions and more.

BRICKS IN THE WALL PART 2
MARCH 20, 2022 AARON SMITH SEASON 1 EPISODE 22
SHOW NOTES:Today, in Episode #22, we continue our conversation with Pete Gahagan, regarding the Western model of education. This portion of the interview is focused mainly on the underlying movements that have contributed to what we see, institutionally in our educational structures. We also find ways in which we can foster the use of healthy educational tools in the classroom and in our personal lives. Our observations come from the perspective of outsiders, a fact Pete and I readily acknowledge. If you are an educator and would like to share your personal experiences, please feel free to email me. I would love to broaden my understanding of this important topic.

BRICKS IN THE WALL PART 1
MARCH 13, 2022 AARON SMITH SEASON 1 EPISODE 21
SHOW NOTES:Today, in Episode #21, we feature the first of a two part interview with Pete Gahagan, AKA Pete G, who shares some of the observations he has made about the educational system in the U.S. Of course, these observations are not confined to the US; many of them are pertinent to any place in Western civilization, to some degree or another. First and foremost, I want to acknowledge that being a teacher is an extremely challenging career.

INSTEAD OF SHEEP
MARCH 06, 2022 AARON SMITH SEASON 1 EPISODE 20
SHOW NOTES:
The current events flooding the news waves have been making me think about how much I distrust the information that I receive from MSM. The real-world suffering of people being used to further the goals of elitist globalists, who are unlikely to feel any real consequences for their actions, can be disheartening. I hope that Episode #20, though somewhat shorter than the other shows, will be an uplifting respite from the madness.

UNDER MY THUMB
FEBRUARY 27, 2022 AARON SMITH SEASON 1 EPISODE 19
SHOW NOTES:
This week's Episode #19 takes another look at Biderman's Chart of Coercion, but from a different perspective. The abusive and authoritarian actions we have been subjected to over the last couple of years need to be acknowledged if we are going to be able to recognize them moving forward. The tactics are not new, nor are they relevant only to the current events. Coercion is anathema to consent. The more we understand the tactics of totalitarianism, the less likely they will be effective against us.

RUSTY CAGE
FEBRUARY 13, 2021 AARON SMITH SEASON 1 EPISODE 17
SHOW NOTES:
Domestic violence is not something we like to talk about or even think about, but it is the daily reality for many. What preconceptions do we have about what it looks like or about the people who experience it? In Episode #17, we do some soul-searching. I share some information that I sincerely hope helps you understand this difficult topic. If you are a victim of domestic violence or have been a witness to it, I hope you can be encouraged by this content.

FEBRUARY 06, 2021 AARON SMITH SEASON 1 EPISODE 16
SHOW NOTES:
Episode #16 is the first time I conduct an interview for an episode. Join me for an engaging conversation with Pete Gahagan— entrepreneur, philosopher, and farmer. We lightly touch on education, macroeconomics, and other topics. I think you'll enjoy Pete's perspective. Thank you for your continued support.

UNCOMFORTABLY NUMB
JANUARY 30, 2021 AARON SMITH SEASON 1 EPISODE 15
SHOW NOTES:
Information is in no short supply in the modern world. In Episode #15, we delve into some ancient information: Plato's Myth of Thamus and Theuth. We discuss the story in relation to our heavy reliance on search engines to find accurate information. We also touch on the potential consequences of focusing only on the world around us—the outside world—instead of looking within ourselves.

GIVE A LITTLE BIT
JANUARY 23, 2021 AARON SMITH SEASON 1 EPISODE 14
SHOW NOTES:
The moral framework in which we operate guides our decisions. Sometimes that framework can become imbalanced between the empirical and mythical. What is the basis for charity? In Episode #14, we begin a discussion about meaning and morality. We discover that the hard, unfeeling approach of the strictly objective does not account for the human tendency for charity.

FREE FALLIN'
JANUARY 16, 2021 AARON SMITH SEASON 1 EPISODE 13
SHOW NOTES:
In Episode #13, we pick up where we left off last week. I go over the third and fourth conditions forMass Formation, as described by Professor Mattias Desmet. And I offer an analysis of the events leading up to the pandemic that may have made us more vulnerable to being influenced and thus more desirous of joining the crowd.
Here's a link to the attempt by "fact checkers" to disprove the existence of Mass Formation by, you guessed it, an appeal to authority. No need for technocrats to construct actual arguments! https://twitter.com/i/events/1479934834164133893

ROAD TO KNOW WHERE
JANUARY 09, 2021 AARON SMITH SEASON 1 EPISODE 12
SHOW NOTES:
In Episode #12, we start exploring the conditions Professor Mattias Desmet has outlined as necessary for the onset of Mass Formation. As we dig deeper into the topic, I share some evaluations of the first two conditions, based on my own research. Professor Desmet has been making more appearances and his work is being brought to the forefront as we see the pandemic narrative starting to lose its grip. I also give a more in-depth explanation of the Smith-Mundt Modernization Act of 2012.

THE SHOW MUST GO ON
JANUARY 02, 2021 AARON SMITH SEASON 1 EPISODE 11
SHOW NOTES:
In Episode #11, I give a synopsis of the material covered thus far and address the need for reflection in our lives. The constant assault of stimuli that we are subjected to—and that we subject ourselves to—can compromise our ability to reason and rob us of important introspection.
Happy New Year! Who knows what's around the corner? Join me in skeptical optimism. But remember, whatever comes our way, none of us are ever alone. There is always help at hand.

THEY BLINDED US WITH SCIENCE
DECEMBER 26, 2021 AARON SMITH SEASON 1 EPISODE 10
SHOW NOTES:
In Episode #10, I discuss the definition and practical reality of scientism. Unlike the pragmatic, valuable, and necessary use of the scientific method to discover truths about our natural world, scientism is a belief that the natural sciences are the only way that we can know anything about life. It excludes all other forms of inquiry and has become a tool of technocrats who are trying to control the flow of information and pervert the search for truth.
I hope you all had a great holiday!

WHAT'S THE FREQUENCY PASCAL?
DECEMBER 19, 2021 AARON SMITH SEASON 1 EPISODE 9
SHOW NOTES:
It's almost Christmas, so I thought it appropriate to spend Episode #9 discussing the meaning of this holiday and the various systems we use to organize our lives. Less structured and more personal is the tack I took here.
Merry Christmas,everyone. I hope you all have loved ones to share it with. And if you don't celebrate Christmas, I hope you at least take some time to connect with others. There are no links to show notes today, just well wishes. Happy Holidays.

MARK IT A RONA SMOKY
DECEMBER 12, 2021 AARON SMITH SEASON 1 EPISODE 8
SHOW NOTES:
In Episode #8, we embark on a thought experiment related to the pandemic, discuss some CDC guidance on reporting deaths related to COVID, and talk about some of the less mentioned aspects of the situation we find ourselves in. I share my own experience with the disease and reflect on the way our perceptions have changed over the last two years. I know we are all becoming weary with the ongoing situation. The media have chosen to avoid some of this information in order to preserve a narrative of fear. It is incumbent on us to sift and winnow through the available information to separate perceived risk and actual risk.

COME ON BABY LIGHT MY TORCH
NOVEMBER 28, 2021 AARON SMITH SEASON 1 EPISODE 6
SHOW NOTES:
In Episode #6, we tackle the difference between persuasion and propaganda. To do that subject justice, we must take a look at Edward Bernays and explore some of his devious contributions to the propaganda that infects our world. Being able to recognize propaganda is a must if we are to break away from its subversive, often-undetected influence in our lives. I really think you'll find this episode helpful to your journey.

STICKS AND STONES
NOVEMBER 21, 2021 AARON SMITH SEASON 1 EPISODE 5
SHOW NOTES:
Episode #5 focuses on the importance of words. Language can be used to build up or to tear down, to free us or to enslave us. In this episode, I share some quotes whose powerful words caught my eye. You'll find these quotes and many more at https://www.azquotes.com, a website I read often and enjoy.

AVERSION TO COERCION
NOVEMBER 14, 2021 AARON SMITH SEASON 1 EPISODE 4
SHOW NOTES:
In Episode #4, we take a look at the COVID-19 vaccine mandates and how the Nuremburg Code may apply to them. We dig into a few scientific papers related to the topic and also consider the ethical implications of coercive techniques being employed by governments and corporations. We recognize that this is a difficult and nuanced subject that has divided many people. It is not possible to present an exhaustive analysis of the issue. My intentions are only to bring some things to light that have not been covered adequately, if at all, by mainstream media. Hopefully this episode will help give you some new perspectives to consider.
Thank you for your continued support! Please consider contributing via the links at the bottom of the show notes. Your contributions are a way to help produce this show, as I am not accepting any advertising money to mitigate the risk of having corporate interests influencing the content of The subtlecain Podcast!

STEP BACK TECHNOCRAT
NOVEMBER 09, 2021 AARON SMITH SEASON 1
SHOW NOTES:
This between-formal-episodes show came out of the blue and took me by surprise. There are moments when I feel prompted to speak then and there. I can't possibly wait until the promised date of my next scheduled podcast to say what's on my mind! I had one of those moments tonight. That's why you'll find this episode to be more of a running commentary on my recent observations than a look at a specific topic.

BLINDED BY THE LIGHT
NOVEMBER 04, 2021 AARON SMITH SEASON 1 EPISODE 3
SHOW NOTES:
In Episode #3, we finish up with Plato's "Allegory of the Cave" and discuss its implications. From it we learn that our ability to adapt to paradigm-shifting information does not come easy. Allowing ourselves to step away from the various shadow dramas we're drawn into is critical to saving our humanity and to staying on good terms with those with whom we disagree.
Because these first three episodes are a package, I released them in close proximity to each other. From here on out, though, I plan to release one episode a week. I will upload new episodes on Sundays, God willing and nursing school allowing!

DON'T GO BREAKING MY ILLUSION
NOVEMBER 04, 2021 AARON SMITH SEASON 1 EPISODE 2
SHOW NOTES:
In Episode #2, we look into the "Allegory of the Cave," found in Book VII of Plato's most famous work, The Republic. In this imaginary interview between his older brother, Glaucon, and his philosophy teacher, Socrates, Plato does an amazing job of depicting how difficult it is for us to shift paradigms and challenge narratives. Admittedly, reading ancient writing doesn't always give us the nail-biting thrill we get from watching today's fast-paced movies and videos, but it's well worth our time to sift through the wisdom handed down to us by the great thinkers of Greece (the third one being, of course, Aristotle).

SIFT AND WINNOW
NOVEMBER 03, 2021 AARON SMITH SEASON 1 EPISODE 1
SHOW NOTES:
In Episode #1, we walk through the basics of reasoning, of correlation versus causation, and of the importance of confronting our confirmation bias. In exploring these subjects, my goal is not to provide you with conclusions, but rather with questions and with resources that can answer those questions.
I've never been a dip-my-toes-in-the-pool-first kind of guy. So, this being my very first podcast, I was hesitant to launch it. But I remembered the immortal words of Pat Flynn, "You have to be a disaster before you can be a master."
