Episode: The Delusion of Climate Change Denial Climate change is real. So is denial. What happens when we mix the worst of climate change with the worst of denial? President Trump and the head of the EPA.  Belief over science if how it is right now. And the narcissistic belief in belief is the huge challenge for the human brain. The biggest mistake we make is that we believe in our beliefs – not considering the possibility that we could be wrong. However, if we also believe in heaven, then...

In this episode of The Optimized Mind – I ask a simple question: if, you know, “everybody’s f****d up” – which is the trite wisdom of religion and spirituality – then maybe f****d up isn’t actually a thing. In this first episode of season two of The Optimized Mind, I get curious about this idea. I get tired of cartoon explanations and justifications for s****y behaviors. Honestly, I’m not interested in calling you on “your s**t.” I don’t think there is such a thing. The reference point of...

The Religious War Of Santa’s Underwear. The updating of existing models of reality with NEW models of reality- and updating these models when better ones come along – is essential for a functional society. However, this is NOT the world we are living in. People believe all kinds of things that are incorrect models – or as in the case of Santa’s underwear – are not even true at all. Yet, people are identified deeply with their beliefs – regardless of truth or factualness of those...

In this episode, I offer my listeners a frame in which to understand the seemingly endless flow of nonsense that is and will continue to be the Presidency of Donald Trump. If you don’t understand this simple concept, you will never be able to figure out what our president will do...

The World According To F**k   In my opinion – there’s a load of spiritual bait out there that captures our attention. It’s a waste of our time. Because, if you ask the incorrect question, it’s nearly impossible to arrive at the right answer. This is my short treatise on the world according to F**K.

Why Do People Have Affairs?                   In this episode, Lawrence Lanoff and Karina Velasco have some straight talk about the myth of cheating.

How Bin Laden Voted Trump From The Grave. Donald Trump Tapped into Our Deep Sense of Feeling Lost, Hopeless, Fearful & Uncertain So did Osama Bin Laden. In this edgy episode, I invite you to think differently about how we are where we are… and how something as simple as a tiny little conspiracy can be a slippery slope towards feeling completely helpless, angry, isolated and xenophobic. Though I refer to the “white guy” in this episode, it’s really more of a metaphor of entitled,...

The 4 Boxes for Women The 4 Boxes for Women is a concept that came to me as I’ve been digesting what it is like to be a female bodied human in 2016. It’s as complicated as ever. In some ways, we are more open as a society. Sex and sexual pressure is everywhere. But we don’t want our wives, sisters, girlfriends and daughters to fall prey to social-sexual pressure. “Our women” (whatever the specific group is) should be, and are, different. And all  our mythologies about women and our down...

The Authenticity Delusion The Authentic self is a modern day delusion, a twisted, shame and blame based reality for a supposedly conscious new world. The delusion of authenticity comes from philosophy. According to Rousseau, authenticity is derived from the natural self whereas inauthenticity is a result of external influences. The existential philosopher, Martin Heidegger 1889 to 1976 said that authenticity is choosing the nature of one’s own existence and identity. Basically, Heidegger’s...

Why I Reserve The Right To Be Passionately Angry Anger is a form of power and passion. For me, it is boundary. My unwillingness to tolerate intolerable behavior.  To stand up for ourselves. To say NO out loud. I personally use the energy of anger to create space. To ask a powerful question: What do I want, right now? In our freedom, we can allow ourselves to ask this question. It’s our birthright is to discover what we want and pursue that. You create in your life all the time, so defining...

The Symbolic Brain and Killing God In this episode , I’m going to tell you the story of how I killed god.

This material is so transformative, I decided to share it with my...

 Where do we draw the line between religious, spiritual belief systems – and our pleasure? Part of navigating adulthood is trying to figure out myths from reality – especially when it comes to sex. In this inbetween-a-sode we take a harsh look at the religious games people play – though the lens of a current cult – and show how we’ve been sold the same stories, over and over again for the last 5,000 years or so.  In order to embrace pleasure, you have to be willing to embrace reality –...

In this episode, we explore, together where these beliefs come from and challenge you to take a hard look at what you believe. From sex to relationships to...

This is a live meditation that I led in Calgary early this year. The meditation is intended to take you out of a state of self importance and narcissism – which is really a major cause or falling behind in our culture. Self centeredness is truly destructive to love, intimacy and sex. Sit back, relax and make your body super comfortable. Relax and let go.
