In this episode of the Freedom Pact podcast, Jamie Q. Roberts explore the origins and implications of the Intellectual Dark Web (IDW), discussing key figures like Douglas Murray and Steven Pinker, cultural critiques from Monty Python to Shakespeare, and the impact of modern media on free speech and academia. The conversation delves into the challenges faced by academics and the rise of 'canceled professors' as symbols of resistance against censorship. We also look at the events that caused the break up of the IDW, and what it would take for it to have a future, including potential reconciliations between the likes of Sam Harris and Bret Weinstein.Timestamps:IDW Origin Story, Douglas Murray & Steven Pinker 00:00Are Monty Python & Shakespear IDW? 05:50Rick & Morty 16:00Bret Weinstein's Evergreen & 'The Cancelled Professor' 20:50Sam Harris Vs Ben Affleck 31:00Jordan Peterson Vs Cathy Newman 34:00Grievance Studies 37:30Noam Chomsky 40:20Postmodernist Sleight Of Hand 42:50Stephen Fry & Political Correctness 47:20Are The IDW Right Wing? 51:30Sam Harris Vs Bret Weinstein 58:00Donald Trump & The IDW 1:02:00The Return & Future Of The IDW 1:20:00IDW Members List 1:23:30Jamie's Cancelled Book 1:31:30Links:⁠www.youtube.com/@FreedomPact (watch all of our content in video form)⁠https://freedompact.co.uk/newsletter​ www.Instagram.com/freedompactwww.twitter.com/freedompactpod Email: freedompact@gmail.com https://Tiktok.com/personaldevelopmentLinks:Jamie's book: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Intellectual-Dark-Web-History-Possible/dp/1634312708/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0Jamie on X: https://x.com/jamieqroberts

Avi Loeb is a Harvard University professor, bestselling author, and expert in astrophysics. He directs Harvard's Institute for Theory and Computation and the Galileo Project. Avi has published 9 books, including 'Extraterrestrial' and 'Interstellar', and over 1,000 scientific papers on topics such as black holes and extraterrestrial life. He directs Harvard's Institute for Theory and Computation and the Galileo Project.In this conversation, Avi Loeb discusses his groundbreaking research on interstellar meteors, particularly focusing on the materials retrieved from a meteor that collided with Earth in 2014. He emphasises the importance of analysing these materials to determine their origins, whether natural or technological. Loeb critiques the scientific community's reluctance to explore unconventional explanations for unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP) and highlights the challenges he faces in securing funding for his innovative research. He also addresses the role of science popularisers and the need for transparency in scientific inquiry, particularly regarding government-held information about potential extraterrestrial phenomena. We also discuss the implications of potential extraterrestrial intelligence, the relationship between science and religion, and the importance of searching for life beyond Earth. Avi reflects on testimonies regarding non-human intelligence, the societal impact of disclosure, and the need for a cosmic perspective in understanding our place in the universe.

During these projects, he claims to have encountered non-terrestrial life, a reality that, due to recent mainstream coverage, is meeting huge interest world-wide.In this episode of the Freedom Pact podcast, Tim Tactics discusses the existence of extraterrestrial life, government secrecy surrounding the topic, and the evolving public perception of UFOs. He emphasises the historical context of government interest in extraterrestrial phenomena, the impact of cosmic cycles on human consciousness, and the challenges of skepticism. He also explores the implications of disclosure on society and the intersection of science and spirituality, as well as how the Cold War era set the stage for increased interest in advanced physics and extraterrestrial phenomena, highlighting global collaborations and the role of various nations in preparing for disclosure. Tim also delves into religious perspectives on extraterrestrial life, the future of disclosure, and the significant shifts in consciousness and technology that are expected in the coming years. He shares personal experiences that shaped his understanding of these topics and emphasises the importance of individual perception in creating reality.Chapters00:00 Exploring Extraterrestrial Life03:01 Government Secrecy and Extraterrestrial Knowledge06:13 The Shift in Public Perception09:00 The Role of Cosmic Cycles11:54 Human Perception and Skepticism14:47 The Impact of Disclosure on Society18:07 The Intersection of Science and Spirituality41:44 The Cold War and Extraterrestrial Awareness44:03 Global Collaboration on Advanced Physics and ET Phenomena49:33 Religious Perspectives on Extraterrestrial Life51:10 The Future of Disclosure and Cosmic Shifts01:01:09 The Evolution of Consciousness and Technology01:03:02 Personal Experiences and Entry Points into the ET DiscussionConnect with us:https://freedompact.co.uk/newsletter​ www.Instagram.com/freedompactwww.twitter.com/freedompactpod Email: freedompact@gmail.com More From Tim: http://www.allshifthappilynow.com

David Holmes, a talented stuntman and double for Daniel Radcliffe in the Harry Potter film franchise, played a pivotal role in bringing J.K. Rowling's iconic story to life on the big screen. He executed some of the most memorable action sequences, including becoming the first person ever to play Quidditch in the Wizarding World. His life took a dramatic turn during a stunt rehearsal for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1, when an accident left him with a broken neck and left him paralysed from the chest down. From his beginnings as a junior gymnast to a Hollywood stuntman, David’s journey is a deeply honest story of resilience. Though he lost everything, he discovered new possibilities through love, friendship, and optimism. He later co-created a BAFTA-nominated documentary about his life, and authored the new book "The Boy Who Lived."Timestamps:Intro 0:00Why David Doesn't Feel Sorry For Himself 1:20Living In The Present 07:20Being A Daredevil 10:10Preparing For A Stuntman Career 18:50Why Risk Your Life? 25:20Working On Harry Potter 27:50Daniel Radcliffe 32:50Alan Rickman 36:20Goblet of Fire 38:30David's Best Stunt 40:50The Accident 45:20Finding Gratitude 47:50A New Life 50:20What Makes Life Worth Living? 54:50Connect With David 56:00For David's book, documentary, podcast & more, head to: linktr.ee/davidholmes83Connect with us:https://freedompact.co.uk/newsletter​ www.Instagram.com/freedompactwww.twitter.com/freedompactpod Email: freedompact@gmail.com https://Tiktok.com/personaldevelopment
