Post No. 3,468 - Some (hopefully) interesting reading / viewing / listening - Saturday 6th June, 2026

I recently found the following interesting and/or useful, and am posting them here in case anyone else does as well. 

As an important first point: 

“Why Conspiracy Talk About Jews is Dangerous: A Direct Warning”   https://www.youtube.com/shorts/qeuuUpn5bdE   This is a warning video that some have used Jeffrey E’s last name for antisemitism, and therefore, as I mentioned here, I have changed the name reference I will use from here on, and I may change past references - although I cannot change public article titles etc   

• “What a Psychopath Really Is (Most People Get It Wrong)”   https://youtu.be/DIb1HwVQoxU   “Could your boss, your neighbor, or even your surgeon be a psychopath? The truth is, real psychopaths aren't always the serial killers we see in movies - they are often hiding in plain sight.   The word “psychopathy” is thrown around a lot, but most people confuse it with sociopathy or narcissism. In this deep dive into human psychology, we break down the true meaning of psychopathy from a scientific perspective. We reveal the hidden signs of a psychopath, explore the mind of the “functional psychopath”, and explain why certain high-stress professions—like C-suite executives and surgeons - attract individuals with these dark personality traits.   🔍 In this educational psychology video, we explore:   – What a psychopath actually is (and the hidden signs you shouldn’t ignore)   – Psychopath vs. Sociopath: The critical differences explained   – The Hare PCL-R Test: The gold standard checklist used by forensic psychiatrists   – The “Functional Psychopath”: Why CEOs and surgeons rank highest on the psychopathy scale (based on Kevin Dutton’s research)   – Inside the psychopathic brain: Genetics, neuroscience, and whether they can be held morally responsible.”   The fundamental problem with amathiacs who think psychopathic traits have ANY place in management, is that they’re wrong! Servant leadership and stewardship of company resources is what is best   

• “Medical Trauma Is Real (And It’s More Common Than You Think)”   https://youtu.be/9Uijou2QXB8   “Medical PTSD is something thousands of chronically ill and disabled people experience but it’s rarely talked about. In this video, I explore what medical trauma is, why repeated healthcare experiences can lead to PTSD, and why the media rarely acknowledges it.   We’ll discuss chronic illness experiences, trauma-informed care, and how healthcare systems can do better.   TIMESTAMPS   00:00 Introduction   05:02 What Is Medical PTSD?   11:14 Why Chronic Illness Makes Medical Trauma More Likely   20:28 The Hidden Trauma of Medical Systems    25:46 How Media Gets Medical Trauma Wrong   30:59 The Chronic Illness Community & Trauma Literacy   38:44 What Trauma-Informed Healthcare Looks Like”   

• “More on Why You Chose to Incarnate During an Apocalypse”   https://youtu.be/TETm6J8InuA   

• “Evidence That Fog Is Alive and Not just Some Weather Phenomenon”   https://youtu.be/OBzb-fHukgM   Chapter titles include:   “Fog ecosystem and unexpected findings;   What is life doing inside?   What’s inside then? What are they doing here?   Implications and suggestions   Conclusions from the study and implications for alien life   What this means for life on Earth”    

 

• “Talking about trauma doesn’t always help. Brain scans show one reason why”   https://theconversation.com/talking-about-trauma-doesnt-always-help-brain-scans-show-one-reason-why-278794   “We found the reason some people don’t respond to treatment may lie in the way PTSD has restructured their brains.”   While this research is probably valid, they could also try looking at neurodivergence, as many neurodivergent people find CBT etc doesn't work (it is worse than useless for me) - i.e., did those for who the cognitive therapy already have a brain that was wired differently?   

• “The 10 Neurodivergent Superpowers You Have Right Now (And How to Use Them)”   https://youtu.be/4ldgpQ9v43E   This started with an excellent discussion to set the context, cautions, and limits   

• “Why people with ADHD can’t sleep (and what actually helps) | Hyperfocus”   https://youtu.be/-Lv7jmdqTUU   This was VERY good - although I find CBT doesn’t work for me, possibly because of the autism part of the AuDHD     

  

• “Scientists have scrapped the worst‑case climate scenario – because action is making a difference”   https://theconversation.com/scientists-have-scrapped-the-worst-case-climate-scenario-because-action-is-making-a-difference-283675   

• “Moving on: from normalised people to the politics of care”   https://www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2026/05/31/moving-on-from-normalised-people-to-the-politics-of-care/   The commentary about Adolphe Quetelet, who “noticed that many human characteristics clustered around an average. Height did. Weight did. Physical measurements of all sorts did. Given enough observations, patterns emerged that could be described statistically”, but “What had begun as a statistical description gradually acquired social significance” - and the Wikipedia article includes “His work on measuring human characteristic to determine the ideal l'homme moyen (“the average man”), played a key role in the origins of eugenics”, is important:   “The problem arose when averages ceased to be descriptive and became prescriptive.   An average tells us what is common. It does not tell us what is desirable. Yet the distinction between those two ideas became increasingly blurred”   The article continues on to show how this is related to the current generalised and problematic governance approaches (“what could be counted tended to become what mattered”), and how to change this.    

• The second day of this week has seen a second outstanding political analysis/explanation article:   “Getting Poorer in Silence”   by Kos  Samaras   https://redbridgeintel.substack.com/p/getting-poorer-in-silence   “For two decades the loudest voices in Australian politics have belonged to a certain group, not the people who simply earn a wage.   ...   There is also the plain matter of organisation. Property investors have peak bodies. Retirees have lobbies. Industries have associations with media budgets and a standing line to the press gallery. There is no peak body for the person on a salary. No one convenes a press conference on behalf of the registered nurse or the regional maintenance supervisor (except unions).   Thomas Piketty gave this arrangement a name. In his long history of political cleavages he describes the modern Western party system as a contest between two elites. On one side, the Merchant Right, the party of business, wealth and the high-income professional. On the other, what he calls the Brahmin Left, the party of the educated, the credentialed, the culturally confident. The right speaks for capital. The left speaks for the diploma. Between them, the person who holds neither significant capital nor a degree-based identity is left without a home.   The left looked away too”

  This earlier article from the same source addressed this from a more historical context, although I consider the 2019 election more of a warning sign than the 2022:   
  - “The Death of the Brahmin Left - The Vegemite version in Victoria”   https://redbridgeintel.substack.com/p/the-death-of-the-brahmin-left-the   “...   The question for progressive politics, in Britain, in the United States, in Australia, is not whether to acknowledge this rupture. That argument is over. The question is whether the parties that bear the left’s historic name, and the industries that serve them, can reconstruct a politics and a practice relevant to the twenty-first century, or whether they will continue refining the Brahmin project for an educated minority while the communities they once represented find their political expression elsewhere.”   

• “What Exactly Didn’t These Morons Know in November 2024? It Was an Open Book Test”   https://youtu.be/9fHdIzDChaw?si=rF50vbS8xrzzT20P   

• “Is Masculinity Just a Performance? | The Lie of Modern Masculinity”   https://youtu.be/jeuj1Dd3gM8   Hmm - masculinity is a performance to provide proof for the patriarchy ... but the role can be changed, and has through history, as it has no biological basis

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).

• “Alien UFO Podcast: Aliens in Ancient Peru?”   https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/alien-ufo-podcast/id1602263087?i=1000766018313   “This week I’m talking to Steve Aspin and Andreas Lueck about their book “Investigating the Impossible: Biology Offers New Answers and Insights” Investigating the Impossible: biology offers new answers and Insights, co-written by author/investigator Steve Aspin and professional cellular biologist and geneticist Andreas Lück, PhD. The authors deploy the disciplines of cellular biology and genetics for a deep-dive investigation into mysterious cases where scientific data and recovered forensic artifacts exist for laboratory examination and analysis. Four separate, but related, subject areas are examined: 1 - The authenticity and provenance of the tridactyl Nazca mummies recovered in Peru in 2015, and the extensive testing carried out by C14 dating, CT and MRI scans, DNA & PCR sequencing and tissue sampling, detailing these scientific processes for the reader; 2 - The ‘alien’ hairs recovered from the Peter Khoury encounter in Sydney, Australia in July 1992, subsequently analyzed forensically by APEG and published by Bill Chalker in his 2005 book “Hair of the Alien”; 3 - The possibility of whether hybridisation between species originating from different biospheres as reported in thousands of alien abduction reports over 70 years might even be biologically possible; and - 4 - How to recognize and identify disinformation and misinformation about these subject areas in the unregulated morass of the online world. The book runs to 75,000 words in length and includes 80x images: photographs, diagrams, charts and illustrations of biological and genetic processes to assist the reader in better understanding the scientific content. Three Appendices, a brief Bibliography and detailed reference section of explanatory notes supplement the text. The authors have succeeded in making these often difficult scientific concepts, biological processes and descriptions of testing protocols into an engaging story. Furthermore, in attempting to explain these ‘impossible’ but provably real phenomena, some of their conclusions lead the reader beyond mainstream scientific consensus to explore realms entertained only by contemporary physics, mathematics and cosmology.”   

• “UAPCon 2 and What Drops Sunday”   https://mazetometanoia.substack.com/p/uapcon-2-and-what-drops-sunday   “On Carrying the Impossible and What I've Been Building Since January”   and   “I explored how contact experiences follow the structure of initiation rather than pathology, drawing on anthropological research, the Eleusinian Mysteries, and shamanic traditions as historical containers for threshold experiences. I also made the case that we have been collapsing two distinct questions: the ontological question of what happened and the empathy question of whether someone deserves to be believed, and that we can answer the second without settling the first.   ...   In August 2024, Luis Elizondo (the former head of the Pentagon’s UAP research program) published a book that became an instant #1 New York Times bestseller. On page 85, he documented something I haven’t been able to stop thinking about.   A senior official at the Office of the Director of National Intelligence had refused to continue investigating UAPs. His reason, delivered to Elizondo directly:   “There is no reason we should be looking into this. We already know what they are and where they come from. They are deceivers. Demons.”   This was not an outlier. Harry Reid confirmed the most significant internal opposition to UAP research came from officials with “religious views”.   ...   The people with the deepest access are abandoning the extraterrestrial framework. And when it fails, the only replacement available in the cultural inheritance is the medieval one.   This is exactly what my most-read essay was about.   “The Pentagon Calls Them Demons. The Ancient Greeks Called Them Daimons. Both Might Be Right” diagnosed the collapse: the medieval Church flattened a sophisticated Greek taxonomy of intermediary beings (each requiring discernment, and each with different functions and different character) into a single word requiring only rejection. The beings never changed. The name did. Ancient daimons became medieval demons”   This illustrates the evil influence of some religions very well, and, on that, the author is about to publish a series of articles on what to do about the problem, but the author (particularly in her presentation at the conference) also shows the vital importance of a supportive community etc - which is what industrial societies have lost.   

• Sigh. Sorry, Anton - what has been reported is in the exact gland that is most commonly associated with the metaphysical “Third Eye”, so, metaphysically speaking, there could indeed be a connection ... but this video is fascinating for the science on the development of eyes (especially how many times they have developed)   “We Actually Have a Third Eye (And It’s Not Metaphysical)”   https://youtu.be/6LP3n9V7H_8   

• This is a good overview/introduction, but there is one crucial bit of additional information to add, which I will list at the end of this paragraph:   “Alien UFO Podcast: The Majestic 12 UFO Documents”   https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/alien-ufo-podcast/id1602263087?i=1000766779937   “Few stories in UFO history have had as much impact, or mystique, as the Majestic 12 Documents. Surfacing in the 1980s through anonymous delivery, these papers claimed to reveal the existence of a classified government group formed in 1947 under direct presidential order. Its name was simple, almost elegant: Majestic 12, or MJ-12. Its mission was anything but ordinary. According to the documents, twelve of the most powerful scientists, military commanders, and intelligence officials in the United States were appointed to quietly oversee the investigation and recovery of extraterrestrial technology following the now-legendary Roswell crash. The contents read like a cosmic briefing. Allegations of retrieved alien craft. Mentions of recovered biological entities. Reports of engineering attempts to understand technology far beyond the limits of mid-century science. Rather than dismiss these accounts, many researchers embraced them, noting the incredible consistency between the documents and known historical events. Names such as Vannevar Bush, Roscoe Hillenkoetter, and James Forrestal, the kind of men who truly would have been called upon for such a task—appeared across the pages, adding weight to what could easily have been dismissed as fantasy. What made the Majestic 12 Documents extraordinary wasn’t just their claims—it was how calmly they were presented. There was no sensationalism, no theatrical language. Each page read like official correspondence, the kind reserved for war briefings and nuclear protocols. If these papers were fabricated, they were crafted with a precision and institutional familiarity that bordered on uncanny. Yet many believe there is no fabrication at all. Instead, they view the documents as fragments of a slow, deliberate disclosure, one that trickles out just enough truth to prepare the public for what is already known behind closed doors. The question is no longer whether the government keeps secrets. The real question is: how much of our reality has already been quietly acknowledged in rooms we will never enter? As listeners step into this episode, they are invited not to doubt, but to imagine. What if Majestic 12 was real? What if the greatest discovery in human history was made not in the open, but in silence? And what if, decades ago, someone decided it was finally time for us to know?”   Two more overviews are   “FBI File: Majestic-12”   https://www.theblackvault.com/documentarchive/majestic-12/   and   “Majestic 12”   https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Majestic_12&oldid=1351563972   The additional piece of information is:   “After 80 Long Years, the Coverup is Collapsing at Last”   https://unknowncountry.com/whitleys-journal/after-80-long-years-the-coverup-is-collapsing-at-last/    

• “In Conversation with Lyla Tracy”   https://youtu.be/CNyGqaCh27o   from Breaking the Silence   “Lyla Tracy has been experiencing strange beings of light for years at her home in the deep forest for years and she has been documenting them on video and with witnesses that have stayed at her home. They have seen them too.   Spend an hour with us while we talk about non-human intelligence.”   This is one of the most fascinating conversations I have watched on this channel - a wide range of topics were covered. Well worth a view

• “How the Therapy System Is Letting Autistic Adults Down”   https://youtu.be/XROjgZ8FBaY   “A lot of autistic adults go to therapy. Some get real help. Others leave more frustrated and misunderstood. The problem is not whether therapy can work. The real question of how to fit therapy to each individual ...   In this episode of Clinical Breakdown, we look at what the research says about therapy for autistic adults.   We also look at why some approaches do help. Discuss structured interventions like CBT.  Research from autistic adults themselves shows that the most helpful therapy adaptations are often neurodiversity-affirming, practical, sensory-aware, and explicit about expectations, session structure, and communication.”   FWIW, I have found CBT useless - but know others do find it useful. My concern is the disparagement of emotions.

My article(s) on SubStack: 

• “Intergenerational transfers and updates of knowledge”   https://musingsofgnwmythr.substack.com/p/intergenerational-transfers-and-updates   “Strengths, weaknesses, and changes through time ... ”   In this, I reflect on themes from "Babylon Five," particularly Lorien’s remarks about allowing younger races to become independent, responsible adults. This resonates with my observations on how major technological and knowledge shifts require re-presenting past knowledge to remain relevant and comprehensible. These updates are not merely fashion-driven - although some such actions are due to ongoing generational challenges such as ego and greed. As an example of a significant change over time and perhaps generations, I note the shift in the UFO/UAP/ET field from a focus on physical evidence to the significance of consciousness, which has had contributions from both older and younger researchers. Additionally, older individuals need to recognise when to adapt their roles to remain impactful, which requires a change rather than exclusion from the dialogue, and younger individuals may need to recognise the value of the old.
