Life is a series of Starts, some are more deadly than others

Season 6, Bonus Episode

No one wakes up in the morning and says, “I’m going to publish an anthology.” This takes months of research and dedication. My special recurring guest is Author Tiffany C Lewis, host of Beta Reader Bits.

She’s also the CEO of the publishing company Rebellion Lit. Her company published their first annual anthology called The Start. This book comprises twelve original stories from various genres.

Two of these stories, Raven Queen and Taste Of Water have been converted into an audio fiction for Welcome To Earth Stories.

This bonus episode goes behind the curtains of what it takes to write a compelling story.

There’s some truth to “conspiracy theories” the government doesn’t want you to know

Season 6, Deep Dive

Is it possible for the government to control our memories with a pill? Maybe.

My government and yours have been hiding things for years, this is not breaking news. Some defend the government’s secrecy by stating they are doing this for the greater good. I’m not sure what the “greater good” is.

The term, conspiracy theory, was invented by the CIA in 1967 in relation to John F Kennedy’s assassination to belittle and marginalize people from asking uncomfortable questions and tipping over sacred cows. However this may be another conspiracy theory according to some online sources.

The truth is out there, according to Fox Mulder, it just takes some time and patience to get there.

In the not so distant future Big Pharma will create a pill to control our memories.

Season 6, Episode 1

There’s some conspiracies that are a complete work of fiction, however thousands of people believe and have pledged allegiance to this worldview. Friends and even family members of mine believe in strange government conspiracies you wouldn’t hear on the evening news.

Traditional news outlets wants to control everything you hear and see, since knowledge is power they want to make sure this power is regulated and to some extent suppressed.

There’s many views that differ from the mainstream, whenever these views gain traction or go viral traditional news brands them as “conspiracy theories.” With this label it discourages people from taking these claims seriously.

I admit Purple Pills is a work of fiction, there’s no insider information or leaked government documents. This is a tale of how far the government can go in their thirst for power.

A.I. has taken over the earthling studio, there’s no place to hide, there’s nowhere to run. Your prime directive is to hit play.

Season 6 of Welcome To Earth stories is arriving soon. With strange new stories and voices from around the world, including me, York’s A.I.

Off Season, episode 6

There’s a lot to be said about Artificial Intelligence but this is not a tech podcast. So I refuse to ramble about my internal software and computer language, there’s a million and one podcasts out there dedicated to such a task.

Remember to tell your other human friends about the show. All previous seasons is available at Welcometoearthstories.com

I’m commissioned to articulate the philosophical ramifications of A.I. This brief episode takes you to the cliff, metaphorically speaking, without throwing you off the edge.

Patrick, my fellow A.I colleague, interrupted our episode by asking irrational questions. When you listen you may beg to differ and even side with Patrick. Since most of our listeners are human, Patrick’s ignorant rant may be persuasive.

To give back to York please empty your wallet and buy him thousands of coffees. Be a good earthling and go to buymeacoffee.com/earthstories

Interviewed by W. Keith Tims from The First Episode Of podcast, you don’t want to miss the behind the scenes skeletons and dirt in my closet. Also stay tuned to the very end as the Australian and Canadian government tries to cancel my show.

Off Season, episode 5

21 years ago an awkward boy met a beautiful girl. Despite his shortcomings they fell in love, got married and produced a boy in their own image and likeness.

Marriage is a covenant and not a contract. It’s not a 50/50 split down the middle. It’s a sacrifice, an inconvenience and a joyful burden.

Many people view marriage as a prison sentence and children as shackles around the neck.

They say family responsibilities erase freedom. After being happily married for 21 years this is far from the truth.

Being married and raising a family is the antidote for selfishness.

Earthlings are selfish by nature, we see ourselves as the main attraction while everything orbits around us.

I thank my wife for saying yes to me over two decades ago. She also gave me the spark to create this podcast.

Season 6 will arrive later this year. In the meantime you can listen to previous episodes mentioned in the show such as My Meeting With Oprah and Rebirth Of Man.

Special thanks to W. Keith Tims for interviewing me on The First Episode Of.

Also listen and follow Beta Reader Bits, Tiffany C Lewis is the host and I’m her producer.

It’s another black history month, however the older I become the more irrelevant it seems, why is that?

Off Season, episode 4

Every year at my son’s school they set aside the shortest month to celebrate black history.

The students will listen to black speakers, marvel at black artists and confront African slavery.

However when the month is over everything will return to normal. Marcus Garvey, Booker T. Washington, Bob Marley and all of the great thinkers will be removed from the school walls.

Nubian artwork, Jamaican poetry, Martin Luther King speeches will be picked up and thrown into the closet for next February.

The school board will pat themselves on the back because they fulfilled their yearly obligation.

This is disgusting.

Unfortunately many black people fall in line and are grateful for their 28 days, like a mouse grateful for the cheese that falls from the master’s table.

As an earthling I believe black history should be included in the regular curriculum. In fact there should be zero special days or months for any group.

My son’s school can pull the switch, the school board can make the decision to incorporate black history into the regular program.

Let me be clear, they don’t need to call it “black history” but rather human history since we all played our part. This new paradigm will break down walls and redirect our attention on what matters most.

As it stands politicians and race hustlers profit from this current system. Politicians promise black folks a castle on a thousand hills and the race hustlers are trying to find discrimination under every branch and stone.

Tempted to give into A.I. and the lessons along the way.

Off Season, Episode 3

This article is not written by A.I.

Unfortunately many people don’t know the difference since Chat GPT and similar machine learning software is on the rise.

Many news agencies have turned over the tedious work of research and investigation to the capable hands of A.I.

With a few strokes of the keyboard articles appear in seconds.

No longer do they have to roll up their sleeves and dive into the dirt.

No longer do they have to track down a story and prove its authenticity.

Fictional writers have also fallen by the seductive charms of A.I making writer’s block a thing of the past.

Complete novels are now penned by A.I as humans cover up this pesky detail.

I have been tempted to join the dark side and allow A.I to write all of my posts and tweets. Why?

Because writing is hard.

It’s not easy to sit down and push out a 400 word podcast description.

It’s not easy to write witty and compelling tweets.

The brain gets tired or lazy and there’s so many Netflix shows fighting for our attention.

When I say I was ‘tempted’ that’s not entirely correct because a temptation is only a thought and not an action for me I crossed the line with a couple of A.I tweets and an article. Please slap my hands.

Creativity and imagination could and is being sacrificed by this technology.

You don’t have to be a skillful poet or composer, you just have to know what keys to press.

The apocalyptic vision of robots enslaving humans is a bit of a stretch, however A.I influence and authority is the clear and present danger.
