That's the disturbing conclusion I've reached after diving into the latest global research on well-being. While self-help gurus push manifestation techniques and corporate America hawks "wellness" products, the scientific evidence points in entirely different directions—ones that powerful interests have little incentive to promote. The truth about happine...

Send us a text Your phone buzzes. Another meeting reminder. A calendar notification. A timer for that thing you were cooking. If you're like most people, you experience dozens of these little time-related interruptions daily. We're practically swimming in them, these constant reminders that our modern lives are utterly, completely governed by precise measurements of time. But here's the kicker: this relationship with time isn't just some modern affliction. It's ancient. It's primal. And it re...

A Covid-19 Beginner's Guide for 2025

2025/04/30

Send us a text It's 2025, and we're still pretending COVID is just another flu. You've probably noticed it by now. Friends who can't shake that lingering cough. Coworkers who are out sick more often than they're in the office. The endless cycle of "brutal colds" that seem to hit everyone harder and last longer than they used to. What if I told you this isn't normal? What if I told you we're witnessing the slow-motion collapse of public health in real time? The official narrative says the pand...

Democracy's Silent Erosion: The Global Autocratic March

2025/04/29

Send us a text please see the substack for this episode Freedom doesn't disappear overnight. It erodes gradually, like a slow-moving mudslide that's barely perceptible until your foundation is already compromised. The findings from the V-Dem Institute's Democracy Report 2025 confirm what many of us have sensed intuitively: democracy worldwide isn't just under pressure—it's actively losing ground at an accelerating pace. The data paints a sobering picture that should concern everyone who value...

2025/04/28

Send us a text Evidence hidden in bones tells a bloody story of Roman Britain that changes everything we thought we knew. When we think of Roman gladiator combat, our minds normally drift to the Colosseum in Rome, or perhaps to the sun-baked arenas of North Africa and the Mediterranean. Few of us picture lions stalking the misty shores of Britain. But that's exactly what archaeologists have discovered: concrete evidence of lions in York. This isn't just any discovery. It's a paradigm shift in...

Send us a text see the episode substack for more detail We're witnessing the quiet emergence of a global threat that could redefine public health in the coming decades. While the world fixates on flashy disaster headlines and political theater, a more insidious danger is evolving in the shadows of our warming planet—pathogenic fungi that are adapting to higher temperatures, including our body temperature, with alarming speed.

Re-Enchantment: Solitude and the Cost of Constant Hurry

2025/04/26

Send us a text O'Connell describes how his initial boredom in the wilderness—that uncomfortable confrontation with unfilled time—eventually dissolved into what he calls a "meditative stupor." It's precisely this transition that our constant digital engagement prevents. We've developed a pathological aversion to boredom. The moment we feel that twinge of emptiness, we reach for our phones. We've forgotten that boredom is the doorway to creativity, self-knowledge, and deeper perception. When wa...

2025/04/25

Send us a text see the substack for this episode to go deeper We've spent decades listening to fossil fuel companies talk about "shared responsibility" for climate change. They've perfected the art of diffusing blame – pointing fingers at consumer choices, technological limitations, and "market forces" while raking in record profits. But what if we could scientifically trace specific economic damages back to specific corporate emissions? What if we could prove, with statistical significance, ...

Send us a text They told us it would be over in two weeks. They told us that once you recover, you're fine. They were wrong about all of it. Three years into this pandemic, we're finally getting clarity on what COVID actually does to our bodies long-term. The evidence is overwhelming, disturbing, and deliberately downplayed by those who want us to "move on" without addressing the slow-motion public health disaster unfolding around us. I've spent the last week poring over the Nature Reviews Im...

Except most of us never realize it. When you look at how different languages handle time, possibility, and events, you're not just studying grammar. You're examining the fundamental ways our brains process reality itself. The latest episode of Heliox dives deep into concepts like tense, aspect, and modality — terms that...

They roll out slick presentations full of gradient arrows pointing downward, glossy stock photos of solar panels, and earnest promises about their grandchildren's future. Yet the numbers tell a different story. Global emissions are still rising. The climate crisis accelerates And those same corporations trumpeting their sustain...

Send us a text They stand at the altar, promising “in sickness and in health.” It’s a cornerstone of the vows, a seemingly unbreakable pact forged in the heat of emotion and the hopeful glow of the future. But what happens when sickness truly arrives, uninvited and relentless? What becomes of that promise, especially when it’s the woman who falls ill?

Send us a text They told us it was mild in children. A sniffle, a cough, a few days at home, and then back to normal. We clung to that narrative, a flimsy shield against the raging storm of a novel virus. But the whispers started, then grew louder: stories of persistent fatigue, of brain fog, of anxieties that clawed their way into young minds. Now, the science is catching up to the lived reality, painting a stark picture of the long-term consequences of SARS-CoV-2 infection in our children a...

Send us a text We think we know the story of the witch. Images flicker in our minds – cackling women around cauldrons, the fiery pyres of Salem, perhaps a pointy hat or two for good measure. But like so much of what passes for common knowledge, the truth is far more unsettling, more persistent, and speaks volumes about the fault lines in our own supposedly enlightened world. The academic consensus, when it bothers to look beyond the sensationalized narratives, points to a grim reality: witch ...

Send us a text We’re so busy arguing about culture wars and who’s tweeting what that we’re missing the forest for the burning internet. While we’re distracted, a cold war is solidifying in Asia, and the script is being written by forces far bigger than any single election. It’s a story of fading empires, rising powers, and the stubborn human habit of repeating the same damn mistakes, just with fancier technology. Forget Europe’s “nuisance” Russia problem. According to the players in Trump’s i...
