    Human Predators in Power: How They Hide in Plain Sight | Karen Mitchell

    On this episode we discuss Dr. Karen Mitchell’s book Human Predators and her research on harmful people across settings such as business, law, medicine, media, religion, and politics. She argues that predators outside prison are common, often act covertly through emotional and social abuse, and share similar traits and tactics regardless of labels like narcissist or psychopath.  We also discuss her view that the DSM can blur distinctions between predators and traumatized victims, especially in categories like borderline personality disorder and antisocial personality disorder. Karen describes how predators target vulnerable “prey,” use gaslighting and coercion, and can cause severe psychological harm, while also pointing to behavioral red flags and the need for better awareness and screening in leadership roles.  Karen's recommended shows:  Wild republic (German miniseries) Fifteen-Love (British miniseries) Unknown Number: The High School Catfish Wild, Wild Country Escaping Utopia Fake (Australian miniseries) The Tinder Swindler Dr Death The Family Karen's book is now available here: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1923630423/  Website: https://www.kalmor.com.au/ Twitter: https://x.com/karenmitchell__ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drkarenmitchell_/ MindMatters on odysee: https://odysee.com/@MindMatters:4

    Nigel Kerner’s CHILLING Warning: AI Is Making Us Less Human, with Danielle Silverman

    In this episode of Mind Matters, Harrison engages with Danielle Silverman, a collaborator of the late Nigel Kerner, author of Gray Aliens and Artificial Intelligence. They discuss Kerner’s philosophical and metaphysical perspectives on UFOs, suggesting gray aliens are synthetic, non-sentient beings seeking to harvest human souls—a unique connection to a perfect, eternal state. Kerner’s work, rooted in decades of inquiry sparked by his son’s question about UFOs, posits that humanity is at risk of losing its capacity for meaning by merging with AI and technology, aligning with an alien agenda. Silverman emphasizes the importance of resisting this trajectory through human connection and awareness to preserve our sovereignty and spiritual essence.

    Artificial Stone: Has Marcell Foti Cracked the Megalithic Code?

    In this episode of Mind Matters, Marcell Foti shares his groundbreaking Natron Theory, challenging conventional explanations for the construction of ancient megalithic structures. Foti, an IT professional turned independent researcher, proposes that ancient civilizations used a chemical process involving natron—a carbonate mineral used in ancient Egypt for mummification and as a detergent—to etch and dissolve granite into a moldable "waterglass" slurry, which could then be cast into precise stone shapes. Demonstrating with small-scale experiments, he explains how this method accounts for the seamless, complex features of structures like those in Peru and Egypt, offering a compelling alternative to traditional theories of chiseling. Follow Marcel’s ongoing experiments and insights on Twitter and check out his book, The Natron Theory, for a deeper dive into this revolutionary idea.

    Three-Body Problem: Soft Disclosure? John Carter talks ETs and UFOs

    Today MindMatters welcomes back John Carter to talk Cixin Liu's Three-Body Problem, science fiction in general, and to compare NHI theories. Do UAP represent extraterrestrials putting on a show to appear more advanced than actually are? Or super-advanced ultraterrestrials who may have their own weaknesses? What is the possible connection between tech and psi? And would humanity actually unite in the case of an ET threat, as Ronald Reagan so endearingly believed?

    Cutchinology: A Decade of the Paranormal with Joshua Cutchin

    Joshua Cutchin is one of the most interesting thinkers on the paranormal alive. He is the author of 8 classic books on the subject, including highly focused investigations into the role of food in paranormal encounters, paranormal odors, and child abduction in folklore and contemporary culture. He has also produced wide-ranging analyses on Bigfoot, widening the conceptual aperture to include paranormal features ignored by many until now, and the relation of death to all things paranormal. His latest book deals with the overlap between fiction and the paranormal, and the flimsy boundary between fiction and reality. Joshua is also an accomplished musician and a cool dad.

    Predators in High Places with Dr. Karen Mitchell

    Today on MindMatters, Dr. Karen Mitchell, founder and CEO of the Kalmor Institute, shares insights from her pioneering PhD research on the "persistent predatory personality." Unlike previous studies that relied primarily on incarcerated populations or graduate students, Dr. Mitchell's work draws from the extensive experiences of practitioners who have dedicated their careers to working with individuals exhibiting dark triad traits and psychopathic tendencies. Her research includes data from professionals with an average of 22 years' experience in fields such as child sex abuse, domestic violence, cults, terrorism, toxic leadership, including an FBI agent with the highest number of serial killer cases. By canvassing these unique perspectives, her work offers a fresh approach to understanding and identifying the persistent predatory personality, highlighting the limitations of existing models like the Psychopathy Checklist developed by Robert Hare.

    The Varieties of Inner Experience with Russ Hurlburt

    Inner speaking, inner seeing, feelings, sensory awareness, unsymbolized thinking. Do we all have the same inner experiences? And how aware are we of what we actually experience from moment to moment? In this episode of Mind Matters, we interview Dr. Russell T. Hurlburt, a pioneering psychologist from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. Dr. Hurlburt discusses his groundbreaking work investigating "pristine inner experience" - the unfiltered, moment-to-moment contents of our consciousness. He introduces his innovative method, Descriptive Experience Sampling, which aims to capture and analyze inner experiences with the aid of specialized beeper and an in-depth interview process. This episode provides a unique perspective on the study of human consciousness and the complexities of inner experience. Dr. Hurlburt's insights shed light on the importance of understanding our internal mental processes and how they relate to our self-representations. Whether you're a psychology enthusiast, a student of cognitive science, or simply curious about the workings of the human mind, this interview provides valuable insights into cutting-edge research on consciousness and experience.  Russ's DES interview videos and transcripts: https://hurlburt.faculty.unlv.edu/lena/do_I_have_internal_monologue_sampling.htmlRuss's book: https://www.amazon.com/Investigating-Pristine-Inner-Experience-Moments/dp/1107009944Our previous discussion on Russ's work: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DP4XFq2fPM8
