True Reality & Our Resonating Brain

The Winner Cast ·

2025/08/02

In this continuation of my series breaking down the false claims of AI consciousness, I take from Stephen E. Robbins breakdown of ecological psychologist, J.J. Gibson’s work around invariance laws and perception of the outside world. According to Robbins, this is a crucial starting point for understanding why ‘the hard problem of consciousness’ (that David Chalmers proposed in 1995) can never be addressed by AI engineers or the current leading cognitive scientists. My aim here is to ground this

The Challenge To AI

The Winner Cast ·

2025/07/29

Here is an introduction to my new series here on the challenge to AI and the philosophical reasoning behind my claim that AI will never be sentient or ‘conscious’ and the massive implications this has for us as organic, perceptual co-creative beings in this dynamic, interconnected reality. This is a pretty massive undertaking but thanks to the brilliant minds of many before me, I am merely putting together many of the pieces from their work to deliver these Substack casts in a (hopefully)

The Deplorables Of Scientism

The Winner Cast ·

2025/07/22

In this latest Substack cast, I summarize a fantastic bit of investigative reporting by Jasun Horsley in relation to “Epstein, the Edge Foundation, MIT Media Lab, TED Talks & the Biology Wizards Rewriting Global Culture”. Crazy to think this article came out over 5 years ago and is now more relevant than ever. As the Trump regime aims to obfuscate details around the ‘Epstein list’, those who have been following this for years already know the damage has been done. I believe we are now witnessing

Take Off Your Glasses And See!

The Winner Cast ·

2025/07/14

This is a powerful talk today because it puts into practical application everything I’ve been talking about here on this Subcast series, The Winner Cast. Many of you probably suffer from myopia, or blurred vision. Conventional optometrists say that this is an irreversible condition that is only fixable through corrective lenses. But, as we have recently witnessed with blindfolded children reading as well as ‘miraculous’ instantaneous healing of oral cavities with our remineralizing tooth serum,

Qortal: Pioneering A New Internet

The Winner Cast ·

2025/07/10

Hey fellow freedom lovers! I’m happy to say that Qortal has come a long way the last year or so and I'm getting really excited about its potential to become the voluntaryist new internet we all truly need. I'm loving the new Qortal Hub interface and Qortal Go mobile extension so much that I created this walkthru/review video of it last night.If you have been a little hesitant in the past to try Qortal or simply frustrated when attempting to use it before, I think it is now finally time to give it a

Deep Into The Wilderness We Went!

The Winner Cast ·

2025/07/08

Yesterday we got back to ‘civilization’ after 3 days trekking deep into the Siskiyou Wilderness behind the Alfa Vedic farm. Talk about remote! Not a human was seen after we passed the initial campground as we traversed trails rarely stomped on by human feet. Here on this Subcast I give a brief overview of our experience along with my philosophical reflections on what this sort of wild nature has to offer us in the modern age.

Exploring The Depths Of The Nuclear Weapons Hoax

The Winner Cast ·

2025/07/04

Happy Independence Day to all my folks here in the states! Today I celebrate free thinking as I dive into my promised Subcast on the fake nuke topic. Here I take from the book, Death Object by Akio Nakatani as well as bits from The Falsification of Science by John Hamer & friend and neighbor, Shannon Rowan. As many of you witness the blowing up of fireworks tonight, just know that the very action creating those explosions is still the only action we know of to cause explosive bombs :) You can

Iran's Noble Heritage Of Freedom That Inspired...

The Winner Cast ·

2025/06/28

Yesterday on Alfacast we had an excellent talk on the current Israel/Iran situation from a more religious & alchemical perspective. You can see the show here. In that, I had hoped to go deeper into the occulted Persian esoteric tradition and how it has influenced the West in degrees far beyond what we’ve been told in an attempt to layout a solution for the current Middle East problem. We didn’t have the time to get as deep as I would have liked so I decided to do a Substack cast on the topic here

Conveersation #4: Dawn Lester

The Winner Cast ·

2025/06/24

On this episode of Conveersations, my friend Dawn Lester and I explore a ton of topics ranging from the importance of the written novel to the broad implications of our investigations into consciousness. Dawn is doing great work in this arena and is just a beautiful soul through and through. It was a great pleasure to have this free-flowing discussion with her!Towards the end we discuss her upcoming event in the UK called Illuminate & Elevate. I highly recommend making it out to this if you can!

Staying In Your Own Power

2025/06/19

When we choose to live in peace in our own life, peace will spread to the world. Part of that includes not consenting to violence through implied contract a la ‘voting’ for the next despot to wage war by the mark of your pen.

Conveersation #3: Steven Young

The Winner Cast ·

2025/06/04

On this latest episode of my Conveersation series, I chat with fellow DJ and alchemist, Steven Young on our mutual experience coming up as DJs, the festival evolution, the ‘fall’ of aesthetics in modern society and the use of AI as a tool for human creation. Also, to fix the record, I had a major brain fart mis-titling the classic work by Francis Bacon, “The New Atlantis”. It’s not the New Republic duh! I read that about 20 years ago and my memory failed me there for a second. Enjoy the

No, We Do Not Come From Apes! Part 2

The Winner Cast ·

2025/05/30

Here I continue to explore the many issues of the Darwinistic paradigm as we tackle modern Neo-Darwinism, genetics & the morphological determinism that runs it all. I take a recent Substack article from famed biologist, Rupert Sheldrake as means to fully explore this topic and break it down as best I can from the perspective of ‘complete skeptic’. What I appreciate most about Sheldrake is his willingness to go deep into new scientific and philosophic territory when it is often deemed ‘heretical’

No, We Do Not Come From Apes!

The Winner Cast ·

2025/05/29

One of the core foundations of modern scientism is the Theory of Evolution. It serves to frame the human condition as one of cold, machine-like existence with little to no creative intelligence behind it. It also serves to subvert the beauty of the sublime and deny the transcendent agency of the divine. In my latest rambling, I bring in a little bit of Hermetics, some alchemy and a dash of H.W. Percival to shed some light on the true reality of our human condition and why it is vitally important

Conversations of the Eternal #2: Gandhi & Malcolm X

2025/05/24

On this episode, I continue my Conversations of the Eternal series with 2 of the most famous revolutionaries of the 20th century. They discuss their philosophies around justice, race and the ideal society. To think that these two men are actually hanging out in another realm as we speak having this very conversation makes my soul smile and my mind buzz with the possibilities. Hopefully this gives us a little glimpse into what that conversation might actually be.The Winner Cast is a

The Alchemistic Letter

The Winner Cast ·

2025/05/23

Over 300 years ago this letter was allegedly sent out to certain acolytes interested in the alchemical arts. It essentially requested that the reader become a whistleblower of sorts to expose the secrets of the mystery schools that had been active in occulting and keeping hidden the sacred knowledge of the Hermetic Arts from ‘the swine’ of the world. The letter posits that we have now come into the age where this sacred knowledge can be known to all and in doing this revolutionary act of deceit

Confluence '25 Recap!

Wow wow wow. What an event Confluence was. I really have no words to express the emotions and feelings I have after participating in that magical gathering! Massive props to Alec, Mollie, Mike, Lindsay and the entire team for a job well done. The community though is what really makes this event so special. I am proud to call Confluence a sister/brother event to Music & Sky. They absolutely knocked it out of the park with this one! Here are some pics from the event (videos coming as well!)The
