This Person Does Not Exist

This episode may be fake. Every news segment and tweet is probably the same The person in this story created his fantasy, or so it seems.

Season 4, episode 5

The line between fact and fantasy is becoming more opaque. Facts are seen as oppressive and hateful. For example, the words “pregnant women” are falling out of fashion and replaced by “pregnant people.”

Pregnant women are an undeniable biological fact. My wife was pregnant and my mom was pregnant with me. Only women can bear children, this should be a noncontroversial fact. It wasn’t too long ago when this statement was without question.

In recent times the science of female biology has been discarded to make room for people’s feelings. Science is under attack while certain pundits warn us to “trust the science”.

They even want us to trust “credible news sources.” Those sources paint a tailor made reality with the goal of adopting their worldview. Because of earthlings natural acceptance of authority figures such as the major news networks and social media, the spell is difficult to break.

What makes it more difficult is the rise of deep fake videos, images and voices. You can’t trust what your little eyes see. Technology is almost at the point that it’s nearly impossible to distinguish the real from the fake.

It’s vital to question the dominant opinion, it’s different than some jerk who questions everything just to be a contrarian. You should question out of sincerity and not grandstanding. Asking meaningful questions will further your knowledge and help everyone to think more effectively.

What if your dreams became a trilogy?

Season 4, Episode 3 (Earthling Spotlight Interview)

Aliya survived a horrific car crash. She was rescued and remade by an alien race, given supernatural abilities and recruited into the Protective Forces to fight against a threat to the galaxy. This plot sounds like the next Marvel movie and I’m sure if Marvel buys the rights they would make a killing.

My guest for the Earthling Spotlight is Danielle Novotny and the above synopsis is from her book Remade. Danielle is one of my favorite authors and it was an honour to have her on my show. Please check out the Remade series and follow her on Twitter.

I hit rock bottom, life was slapping me in the face. I called 1800 life coach and that’s when things turned around, but maybe not for the better. You decide.

Season 4, Episode 2

This story was inspired by my years spent in an unusual church. From the outside it looked like any other Protestant evangelistic church.

We sang worship songs, had Bible study groups and Christmas presentations. It was everything you think a typical church should be. Bonus points: it was also multicultural.

But beyond the warm smiles and ethnic meals there was a controlling element.You were forbidden to date or marry outside of the group and your “personal time” was scrutinized. Each member was assigned a personal “coach” to guide them spiritually.

It wasn’t just a good idea to listen to your coach, you had to listen to your coach. Accountability is good It keeps earthlings in line so we don’t do stupid things. This church took accountability to an unhealthy level.

If you have similar experiences I would like to hear from you. For me I’m still in recovery even though I left this group a few years ago.

Special thanks to Emily Inkpen who played the Life Coach executive, please follow the links and check out her books and audio presentations. Thanks again Emily.

The host of this podcast died in the Season 3 finale, his wife reflects on his history and the desperate attempt to bring him back to life.

Season 4, Episode 1

People throughout the centuries have tried to find the fountain of youth, the secret to longevity and the answer to immortality.

Longevity can be attained by avoiding certain foods, Illegal drugs, and risky professions such as Nascar racing. You can live in an iron bubble without stepping outside. But who wants to do that?

However, Immortality is impossible. We as earthlings have tried and failed miserably. But now there is hope. Thanks to Google, Amazon, Jericho Labs and other high tech cloud services your consciousness could live on forever. Sounds cool?

Some people are horrified with the possibility that their mind could be uploaded into a computer or Life Replica. They feel the dead should rest in peace and not linger on a digital cloud. Probably they’re right.

You’ve heard the term, “gone too soon.”

Wouldn’t it be incredible to preserve the consciousness of leading thinkers. Say for instance if Einstein, Beethoven, MLK, Apostle Paul lived on. We can continue to learn from these great earthlings as their theories, music, science and social causes develop. Not convinced? I’m not trying to persuade you. This is merely a thought experiment.

This episode was narrated by Tiffany C Lewis, she’s an author and business owner of Rebel Lit.

What happens when a man dressed in black interrupts my family dinner and destroys the season finale.

Season 3, Episode 12

Yes My fellow earthlings this is the season 3 finale. Little bit of a spoiler, it didn’t go as planned. I wanted to leave you with something thoughtful, inspiring and even spiritual. I owe it to you since you’ve been listening since day 1.

However, as they always say, plan for the unexpected. Unfortunately I didn’t do that.

In my defence I was struggling with how to conclude this season. Everything I wrote was crap. I started one story just to run into plot holes and roadblocks. Also my dear sweet family was coming over from Jamaica. Great!

Not because I don’t love my family but this gives me even less time to work on a finale.

That wasn’t the worst part. A man dressed in black sat nearby, no one invited him and no one could see him but me. The rest of the story you have to listen to and draw your own conclusions.

Thank you to the following earthlings who contributed to this season.
