I recently found the following interesting and/or useful, and am posting them here in case anyone else does as well.
- “How do you know what is true? And are you sure?” https://youtu.be/_WG_CaiA7bQ “Most of us think we know what is true. We hold opinions, beliefs and convictions that feel self-evident. But what if many of the things we call truth are actually stories that we tell ourselves? In this video, I explore the difference between truth, fact, belief and narrative. I argue that our identities are shaped by stories about nationality, faith, politics, family, culture and experience. Those stories help us make sense of the world, but they can also persuade us that our beliefs are facts when they are not. I explain why certainty can be dangerous, why context matters more than we often admit, and why understanding other people’s narratives is essential if we want to change minds, reduce conflict and create a more caring society. This is a video about humility, doubt, critical thinking and the importance of recognising uncertainty in a world where everyone claims to know the truth. Do facts exist? How much of what we believe is actually true? And how should we respond when other people see the world very differently from us? These are big questions. And how do we work out the answers?”
- “Our Paranormal Afterlife : Finding Proof of Life After Death: Awakening & Near Death Experience” https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/our-paranormal-afterlife-finding-proof-of-life-after-death/id1354455555?i=1000773705282 “This week I'm talking to Crystal Cassidy about her Near Death Experience and other spiritual experiences. Bio Crystal is a scientist-mystic exploring the frontier where consciousness meets technology. As founder and CEO of SoulPod, she is building a new framework for training consciousness like a technology—transforming daily ritual into a quantum mechanism for personal and collective evolution. Formally trained as a Reiki Master, Kundalini Yoga Teacher, Transformational Breathwork Practitioner, and Meditation Facilitator, Crystal bridges the precision of science with the intelligence of spirit. Before SoulPod, she spent nearly two decades in biotechnology and oncology research, helping bring the first blood-based diagnostic for solid-tumor cancers to market as Director of Clinical Operations. Her work translates mystical experience into measurable change—teaching people to regulate their nervous systems, re-encode their inner signal, and access the deeper operating system of reality itself. Through SoulPod, Crystal invites a new kind of spirituality: not escape from the world, but technology for awakening within it. From there, we can step into a new phase of possibility as a species. https://www.soulpodapp.com/”

On neurodivergence and associated matters:
- “It Was Never in Your Head: The 26 Genes That Explain Fibromyalgia” https://youtu.be/ltkYm9VFaIM “The script explains a large multi-ancestry preprint GWAS comparing over 54,000 people with fibromyalgia to more than 2.5 million controls, reporting 20 risk loci and 26 DNA regions associated with fibromyalgia. It frames this as validation against medical dismissal and supports the central sensitization model, describing hyperalgesia and allodynia as amplified central nervous system pain processing. Highlighted genes include HTT and brain-expressed, drugable GPR52; dopamine-related DRD2 and nearby NCAM1 linked to fatigue, brain fog, and overlap with ADHD; pain-stress regulators such as CELF4, NPY, and KYNU; developmental “wiring” genes like CAMKV, MDGA2, and DCC; and OLFM4, noted as also implicated in ME-CFS genetics. The study reports strong genetic correlations greater than 0.7 with IBS and PTSD, brain-specific enrichment -cortex-hippocampus-, minimal immune enrichment, and discusses future tools like polygenic risk scores and potential treatment targets.” Not yet peer reviewed, so some time before it becomes part of “official/accepted” medical knowledge

On society, governance, human rights, etc:
- “This is Your Brain on Sexism” https://open.substack.com/pub/joannfinkelstein/p/this-is-your-brain-on-sexism It changes - just as it does for racism and other forms of discrimination
- “I need to swallow my pride and apologize” https://youtu.be/jhINL1osOfA
Possible flaws
Where I can, I will try to highlight possible flaws / issues you should consider:
- there may be flawed logical arguments in the above: to find out more about such flaws and thinking generally, I recommend Brendan Myers’ free online course “Clear and Present Thinking”;
- I could be wrong - so keep your thinking caps on, and make up your own minds for yourself.

Remember: we generally need to be more human being rather than human doing, to mind our Mӕgan, and to acknowledge that all misgendering is an act of active transphobia/transmisia that puts trans+ lives at risk & accept that all insistence on the use of “trans” as a descriptor comes with commensurate use of “cis” as a descriptor to prevent “othering” (just as binary gendered [men’s and women’s] sporting teams are either both given the gender descriptor, or neither).
