    #036- Barrier to Entry- Cosmic summit 2025 recap

    In June of 2025 I attended the Cosmic summit in Greensboro North Carolina. After a great weekend of presentations and conversations, I left with more questions then I came with. Throughout the weekend I gained a new context through which to ask questions. This context create the inspiration for todays episode. In order to have a solid view of the past a person must develop a lens to view evidence through. In this episode I talk about evidence that is overlooked or misinterpreted by mainstream Geology and Archeology. I ask the question "do we know what we are looking at. From Geological formations covered by the Great Randall Carlson, Ancient Precision stone vases presented but Matt Beall, Mysterious lost megalithic structures presented by Ben Van Kerkwyk, and even question what is in plain sight with Catherine Ulissey and Michael Collins of Wandering Wolf productions. I hope you enjoy this video. This is my first attempt at recording with this format and set up and I know I have a lot of kinks to work out as well as tighten up my thoughts. Thanks for the interest and my goal is that this and future videos inspire you to look into topics off the beaten path to see what others miss. Peace, Dexter

    #035- The Trent Peterson Interview

    I first met Trent in the summer of 2021 when we moved to Stephenville TX and we quickly became best friends. In 2024 Trent’s world was turned upside down when he experienced blood clots in his left arm and during his hospitalization suffered a stroke. In the subsequent year Trent had to relearn how to walk, eat and see again as well as learning to deal with other deficits. Through working with talented and passionate therapist and educating himself he gained a new insight into the health care system and developed a heart for the broken. He is now turning his trauma into something positive but starting The Broken Road podcast to interview survivors and shine a light that there is life after trauma. He also stated The Broken Road Project which seeks to help connect people with the resources they need to work towards their highest quality of life. Along with working on all his own projects Trent has also been co-hosting on The Panhandle Primate Podcast for the past several episode. Enjoy this episode and keep an eye out for the cool things Trent is doing!

    #034-A different Kind of Tech

    We live in a hyper specialized society where it is necessary to rely on others for their expertise. For example, everyone who drives a car has to pump gas but few people understand how a refinery works, what it takes to transport the fuel and how it has to be stored. For the most part expertise is apparent in the product produced, does the bridge stand? do the lights come on? But when it comes to social studies, such as religion and history, how is the product tested? In this episode I present several sites and corresponding artifacts that I believe force the standard narrative into question. From the colossal unfinished stones still in the quarry to precision cut boxes and caves there are clues that point to a radically misunderstood past technology cloaked by the passage of time. I believe the sites mentioned in this episode blow holes in the standard narrative of linear human progression and challenge the assertion that modern humanity is at the pinnacle of civilizational achievement.

    Context of a Reset

    This in the first episode in a series where I intend on laying out what my paradigm of the past is and my hope for the future. When talking of social change reference to the past is vital. It is natural to seek analogues from the past to observe what the "natural" arc of a civilization has been. It is from that perspective that first attracted me to Graham Hancock and his book "Fingerprints of the Gods". Through his book and Randall Carelson's repeated appearances on the JRE I became convinced that there was more to the story than the standard narrative was able to provide. This episode focuses on the massive climate shift Known as The Younger Dryas. The standard narrative for recession of the ice sheet is gradualism and blames the extinction of mega fauna, like the wooly mammoth, on over hunting by humans... with pointy sticks... I ascribe more to the alternative history of cataclysm that reset civilizations back to the Stone Age and in the fall out most mega fauna died off. The standard narrative has in it a belief that humanity, in a natural state, over consumers causing the eradication of animals and collapse of ecosystems, this is in contrast with the possible reality that humanity itself barely survived the cause of the extinction event and that the overconsumption of humanity today may be from a belief system and is not inherent to humans. This would cause a reframing of humanity from consumers to survivors. From destroyer to cultivators? It is here where I believe the reconstitution of the facts could help liberate the modern person towards the true purpose of Humanity on this earth, which I believe is to take a broken world and make it better. I hope you enjoy this series. Please leave a comment below if you noticed something I missed or have anything to add. If you plan on going to the Cosmic Summit 2025 let me know! I am really excited to see a lot of the people who have helped me gain a more robust view of the world around me. Peace, Dexter

    #032- Intro to Mesh Networks

    In this episode host, View this profile on Instagram Dexter Cearley (@panhandleprimate) • Instagram photos and videos ">Dexter and View this profile on Instagram Trent Peterson (@txtrip) • Instagram photos and videos ">Trent, introduce and discuss mesh networks, LORA devices, and some of the implications of “OFF” grid comms. Mesh networks are a system of series of nodes connected through radio waves to create a decentralized network, each node acts like a repeaters increasing possible range and reliability of transmissions. These devices vary from DIY to Military grade, coupled with software like Meshtastic and Meshcore create a communication network in case of disaster or for local messaging in areas with poor cell coverage. They can even be used with applications like ATAK. Per usual we chase some rabbits and at one point talk about drug overdose somehow… This is not my last episode on this topic and in the future I hope to be a little bit more versed since I am now playing with these devices daily. Links to the devices referenced in this episode:LiLy go T-Deck Heltc V3 I highly recommend getting these devices if you have kids. They are fun to build together and it gives the kids a way to have a device in their hands that is not connected to the internet. We as a society need to begin rethinking our interface with technology. Think of these devices as walky texts. If you do buy these devices or are interested in delving deeper into the rabbit hole I suggest the following YouTubers Mesh core and the Like with Andy kirby The Comms channel, great intro series Thank you for reading!

    #030- Hacking the Feed

    In this episode Dexter is joined by Shannon and sound guy Trent to discuss the pop culture phenomenon of the Max Headroom Incident from 1987 where the regular programming was interrupted by a pirate signal. This bizarre incident is still relevant today as we question our own reliance on our own “feeds”. Is the Medium the message? Is there anything that can shake our reliance on national narratives? Join along as we attempt to Hack the Feed.

    #027-Relaunching The Panhandle Primate Podcast

    This was the first “test recording” in the new Brain Matterz studio. It is also the re-launch of this podcast’s original name The Panhandle Primate podcast. These past years I feel like I have struggled to define the podcast and the overall content that we aimed to produce. After a little soul searching I decided to go back to the original concept of just sitting down to the mic with friends and guests to see where the conversation goes. I aim to continue the same format of The Cearley Cultivation but feel like Panhandle Primate is a little more catchy. This episode also introduces Trent Peterson, who will be the sound guy and a guest for the majority of the shows going forward. He will also be launching his own podcast in the coming weeks which will focus of life after injury. After experiencing blood clots and a stroke earlier this year Trent’s perspective and life were forever altered, as you will hear in this episode. Enjoy and brace for the Next era of Dexter playing with podcasts! Thanks to the individuals who have supported this podcast though the years, I can’t wait to see where this show goes in 2025!
