#113 Del Bigtree - Censorship & Medical Tyranny. An Inconvenient Study

Journalist Del Bigtree issued a challenge to the head of infectious disease at Henry Ford, one of the most prestigious medical institutions in the world: conduct the most thorough vaccinated vs. unvaccinated study that has ever been done. The expert took up the challenge and ran the study to prove Del wrong. That study never saw the light of day.  “Science demands questions and debate, not silence.” Executive Producer, Del Bigtree speaks about his new film “An Inconvenient Study”. Del discusses the controversies surrounding vaccines, including censorship, the lack of scientific evidence supporting vaccine safety, and the implications of a recent study comparing vaccinated and unvaccinated children. The discussion highlights the need for transparency and accountability in public health policies and the importance of critical thinking in the face of widespread misinformation and censorship.

#105 Mark Solms - Exploring the Depths of Consciousness

For Mark Solms, one of the boldest thinkers in contemporary neuroscience, discovering how consciousness comes about has been a lifetime’s quest. Scientists consider it the "hard problem" because it seems an impossible task to understand why we feel a subjective sense of self and how it arises in the brain. Venturing into the elementary physics of life, Solms has now arrived at an astonishing answer. In The Hidden Spring, he brings forward his discovery in accessible language and graspable analogies. Solms is a frank and fearless guide on an extraordinary voyage from the dawn of neuropsychology and psychoanalysis to the cutting edge of contemporary neuroscience, adhering to the medically provable. But he goes beyond other neuroscientists by paying close attention to the subjective experiences of hundreds of neurological patients, many of whom he treated, whose uncanny conversations expose much about the brain’s obscure reaches. Most importantly, you will be able to recognize the workings of your own mind for what they really are, including every stray thought, pulse of emotion, and shift of attention.His book “The Hidden Spring” will profoundly alter your understanding of your own subjective experience.
 
Professor Mark Solms discusses his lifelong journey into understanding consciousness, influenced by personal experiences and notable figures in psychology and neuroscience. He emphasizes the importance of feelings in consciousness, critiques the DSM and psychiatric practices, and explores the intersection of neuroscience with AI. Solms also shares insights on dreams, psychoanalysis, and the significance of subjective experience in understanding the mind.
