An Unexamined Subconscious.
Delving in a little deeper into the ideas, mores and norms that influence our subconscious and unknowingly drive our behaviour. Mores and norms control the majority of our actions from the way we dress, to the people you date, even to the amount of times we feel we should be having sex. This episode calls for the examination of what truly drives our lives. After all, an unexamined subconscious is a certain kind of slavery.

Earth 2020: Truly Bad Fiction.
As we watch more of Earth-Season 2020 unfold, I’m left asking: ‘who’s writing this sh*t?” Honestly.
The repeating plot line of yet another case of police brutality-less than a month after WORLDWIDE protests, a president so villainous as to almost be cartoonish, lacking zero character development or a character arc, and the continued politicizing of an actual pandemic.
2020 continues to play out like badly written fiction. It all seems too bad to be true and maybe perhaps it is.

Choose Your Delusion.
“...Either there are no illusions or everything is an illusion.”
On this episode we delve deeper into a theory of our world is a type of futuristic VR-YouTube meets ‘The Truman Show,’ where our lives are being streamed and subscribed to by advanced society.
Your persona/ego would be just a construct of the game, with the majority of us absolved in a type of extreme method acting.
