The Shift Episode 48: The Mythology of Scientism with Alex Tsakiris
Welcome to the 48th episode of The Shift where Doug McKenty speaks with author and host of the Skeptiko podcast Alex Tsakiris. This discussion focuses on the concept of scientism as a type of mythology that forms a belief system loosely based on the process of science, but going well beyond the actual ability of science to determine truth. This belief system includes a form of materialistic determinism disproved by actual science, and affords believers a zealot like attachment to "scientific truths" proven by "experts" that act more like a priest class than scientists dedicated to a process which in reality requires open-mindedness and flexibility in the face of new information. Listen in as we build on the works of Joseph Atwill, author of Caesar's Messiah, to discuss scientism as a control mechanism used by elites to separate followers from their true spiritual potential.
It may be useful to listen to these interviews Alex and I have done with Joe Atwill in the past in order to understand the context of some of this conversation.
A discussion with Winnimun Wintu spiritual leader Calleen Sisk about the many difficulties in performing a peaceful Balas Chonas (coming of age ceremony) at Mt. Shasta National Park.

Enjoy this conversation with education avtivist and host of the social impact podcast Lynn Straw-Davenport. Lynn got her start going to local school board meetings questioning the effacacy of focusing educational priorities on standardized testing. Little did she know the fight was just getting started. In the age of Covid and the addition of social emotional learning to the educational milieu, Lynn now finds herself in the midst of a battle to save the integrity of the family unit itself. She is now combating forces of social engineering threatening to nudge children into a technochratic future through a control apperatus designed to influence all of us from cradle to grave.

Another great episode of The Shift with Marayam Henien, producer/director of the documentary film "The Vanishing of the Bees" and functional medical consultant at https://www.honeycolony.com/. While many of us may have heard about Colony Collapse Disorder, the mainstream media did not do justice to the impacts of systemic pesticides on bee populations all over the world. These pesticides still negatively impact the environment to this day. Maryam and I discuss the slow poisoning of the bees and how it correlates to the human population as we all experience the same symptoms over time in terms of toxic overload and body burden. Let's hope humanity can use honey bee colonies as a canary in the coal mine and clean up our act before we experience our own form of colony collapse. Please enjoy this interview and find out more about Maryam at her website or on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/honeycolony/ and Twitter https://twitter.com/MaryamHenein

Host Doug McKenty interviews Jared Beck Esq., author of What Happened to Bernie Sanders, the tell all book detailing the depths to which the Democratic Party stooped to fix the primary election in favor of Hillary Clinton and against Senator Bernie Sanders. The book presents evidence showing how the DNC worked behind the scenes to influence media, spread disinformation, and stack the deck while accepting money from, and ceding control to, the Hillary for President campaign. It also discusses the lawsuit Jared and others brought against the DNC alleging fraud against the many Sanders supporters who were promised impartiality during the election process. The evidence includes emails leaked from Democratic Party headquarters exposing the level of corruption as well as the mysterious deaths of two potential witnesses for the case. This conversation goes beyond exposing corruption at the DNC but also reveals the dark underbelly of an American political system that can no longer be described as a Democracy, but as the Oligarchy it has become.

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.
