    S3:E13 - The Ethical Skeptic & The Awesome Insistence of Cataclysmic Mirage Theory (CMT)

    Today on Post-Orthodoxy, a conversation with another hard-working thinker we've been following on Twitter: The Ethical Skeptic, or "Tes". . "Who is The Ethical Skeptic? No one of consequence. I believe that a person should be engaged for the quality of their thinking, and for their positive impact upon the world that they find within their reach; not by their titles, curriculum vitae, publications, and awards. Nonetheless, for those who insist that such things embody a person’s worthiness, I work professionally in engineering and science on a daily basis. I hold graduate and undergraduate degrees in engineering, business, finance, and ethics from the number one and number four ranked universities in the US for their respective disciplines. My ethics thesis earned the only A+++ ever awarded by the Dean of my school." ...(more on https://theethicalskeptic.com/our-story/)... "It is not that smart people believe weird things, but rather what I observe among scientists of the highest caliber acumen: they are wise in their application of intellectual integrity. They describe first, and refuse to explain. Beware of the ‘explainers’. At some point inside a doctrinal array of conclusive arguments, the ethical mind must eventually broach dissent, and question the nature of linear thinking certainty inside asymmetric, partially understood systems. Mindlessly falling prey to a bandwagon effect does not qualify one as rational nor as a critical thinker. You cannot justify the corruption of mind with a series of memorized one-liners. As my favorite professor in Standard Model particle physics used to say, “It is not simply the correctness of your answer I want you to express, rather demonstrate the rigor and quality of your thinking.” The rigor and quality of our thinking has been sacrificed at the alter of authorized explanations masquerading as science.   "Never use skepticism as an excuse to dissuade anyone’s life from expressing its full extraordinary potential, especially your own."   Dark Sevier, Memetic Mediator, and Ainsley Sevier, Psychic Doula, work to reduce harm and build community thru challenging dogmatic thinking. A house divided cannot stand. Viewer discretion advised! We question everything, diagnose cultish behavior, and are building an Outpost in the Borderlands between belief systems, where we can empower each other toward cognitive sovereignty. Your sacred cows may get poked. What's outside your reality bubble?

    S3:E7 - Mahina Alexander, Ayahuasca & Past Lives

    We met Mahina while on vacation on O'ahu, and she agreed to share some of her stories with us! Unfortunately our travel livestream audio kit needs updating, and we also had to work around the lawncare guys showing up unexpectedly. Can't wait for another chance to talk with Mahina about her work healing traumas through plant medicines. . "Mahina Alexander has been driven from a very young age to seek Truth. She is a healer in training as well as a mother, truth speaker, artist, writer and model for -mostly women owned and led- sustainable fashion & jewelry. From childhood trauma, to modeling, to addiction, to awakening and healing she is a student of life and the experiences it offers her for expansion and evolution each and everyday.   She has used platforms like tumblr and instagram to connect and express her contemplative ideas and insights about the nature of our reality, our humanity & our divinity and share her philosophical inspirations and passions.   She believes that trauma is merely a teacher which can initiate us into a greater understanding of our true identity that can offer us the humility and compassion to remember what we’re really doing here and explore right relationship with our planet and one another beyond our fears according to past programming.   She is passionate about doing the inner work to release the [trauma] imprint, embrace her unique soul blueprint and inspiring others to do the same.   She is cultivating a safe online community space for those on a journey of healing and authentic self expression. Through years of self inquiry working with plant medicines (psychedelics), meditation, journaling, deeply honest conversations, self study and self awareness to heal from the traumas of her childhood and adolescent years, she has had many realizations and initiations into deeper understandings of this human experience and has been gifted friendships with teachers young and old who have inspired her to do the work to make self love, integrity and compassion her most important values." . “An Outpost in the Borderlands,” Post-Orthodoxy explores the liminal spaces around changing our minds, and blazes trails into the wilds of what’s possible. Dark and Ainsley Sevier bring their experience as escapees from religious cults to diagnose cultish behaviors in society at large, and to share experiences with other social extremophiles.
