    Ancient Prophecies Predicted Hitler's Rise and Fall

    For centuries, prophets across different lands described the same coming disaster. A German leader would rise with a voice that could move nations. Ancient Jewish scribes embedded something strange in their text—Hebrew letters that pointed to a specific year: 1946. That October, ten Nazi war criminals stood before the gallows at Nuremberg. One of them whispered his final words: "Purimfest 1946." The Nazis believed they could manufacture their own destiny through prophecy and occult manipulation. They edited ancient texts, built an empire on mysticism, and murdered anyone who predicted the wrong future. But there was one prophecy they couldn't control. The pattern was already written, waiting two thousand years to return. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zjhMCFNl_YU

    661. Can A.I. Save Your Life?

    For 50 years, the healthcare industry has been trying (and failing) to harness the power of artificial intelligence. It may finally be ready for prime time. What will this mean for human doctors — and the rest of us? (Part four of “The Freakonomics Radio Guide to Getting Better.”)   SOURCES:Bob Wachter, professor, chair of the department of medicine at the University of California, San Francisco.Pierre Elias, cardiologist, assistant professor of biomedical informatics at Columbia University, medical director for artificial intelligence at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital.  RESOURCES:A Giant Leap: How AI Is Transforming Healthcare and What That Means for Our Future, by Bob Wachter (2026)."Epic Systems (MyChart)," by Acquired (2025)."Detecting structural heart disease from electrocardiograms using AI," by Pierre Elias and Timothy Poterucha (Nature, 2025)."What Are the Risks of Sharing Medical Records With ChatGPT?" by Maggie Astor (New York Times, 2025)."Will Generative Artificial Intelligence Deliver on Its Promise in Health Care?" by Bob Wachter and Erik Brynjolfsson (JAMA, 2023).The Digital Doctor: Hope, Hype, and Harm at the Dawn of Medicine’s Computer Age, by Bob Wachter (2015).  EXTRAS:"The Doctor Won’t See You Now," by Freakonomics Radio (2025)."How to Stop Worrying and Love the Robot Apocalypse (Update)," by Freakonomics Radio (2024).

    Psyops: From Dead Babies to UFOs - The Same Pattern Every Time

    A behavioral expert who trains Navy SEALs and CIA operatives created a 20-point test that detects psychological manipulation with mathematical precision. Chase Hughes recently appeared on Shawn Ryan's podcast to discuss this system, and the same patterns appear in government propaganda, corporate deception, and social media algorithms.From a teenage girl's testimony that sold the Gulf War to Big Tobacco's forty-year lie, the scoring system reveals when you're being controlled. The formula works on anything—news coverage, corporate messaging, even the controversies you're arguing about right now.But once you learn to spot manipulation everywhere, you face a different danger. Foreign adversaries benefit when Americans trust nothing and question everything so intensely they can't function.The tool shows you how information is delivered. Deciding what's true is still your job.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X46H1dEADJU
