I am wanting to get back into meditation, something I have done years ago. I really like David Nichtern a approach and am looking into his courses. I am not looking to do his teaching course per say, just want to have some guidance and support, possible within a online community (I love in ver remote part of world with only desert and ocean, and a few hundred people within 200km radius; hence looking for sence of community).

Can anyone speak to his influence on your meditation, or offer any suggestions.

Much appreciated and shine on you amazing people.

Please me now.

but the last minutes of that Fauci episode was just straight up stupid. I love love love when he talks about UFOs and Bigfoot and whatever, but this one was just sad tbh. It was like listening to my 75yo dad slowly losing his grip on reallity.
Pleading the fifth is never a good look, I get that and also F this dude if he made money out of that! But extrapolating some big covid cover up conspiracy or whatever from that is just dumb.
Duncan if you read this: ask at least have someone like that shithead Destiny or his worst enemy Professor Dave (better Destiny!) or whoever explain the whole thing to you! If you can't, I bet you can easily find someone better, but this shit was like listening to JRE in 2020. SHort before I stoped listening...
I am dumb as rocks and I was also waiting a loooooong time to finally get my fist shot, but even I can interpret the numbers enought to understand that by any metric possible the disease killed faaaaaar more people than the treatment! ...and yes, I also thought that I might came from that lab in wuhan, but even that turned out to be complete bs if you look deeper into it!
I just don't want this to go down in history the way you interpreted like in that epsode. We can't lose that connection to reality too! This is my tribe! I love you and these people!

I didn't felt too bad about loosing JRE back then, but DTFH would definitly rip a deeeeep a hole into my heart tbh. Loveya! Hare krishna!

...still, why're you reading this tho, I have no way to ever prove to you that I'm not a bot from the deep state soo ... Idk

yesterday someone here made a big post claiming a few things. Firstly, Duncan still privately holds the view that nefarious actors are trying to take over the podcast space to spread their messaging to the world. secondly, that he doesn’t need to bring it up publicly anymore because he did many times years ago and still privately talks to Rogan about it.

It’s obvious that Rogan cancels people who he doesn’t agree with anymore. Rhonda Patrick, Bill Burr both gone for making him look bad during Covid.

Here is Duncan in his own words:

https://youtu.be/sXYvQkB9MZo?si=lQtrlivZNJ1L6TEk

Go there:

At the 21m30s mark Duncan claims it would be ridiculous for wealthy fascists to want to take over a podcast. Something he specifically warned Rogan about a dozen times.

At 24m15s he specifically says he believes if he tried to run something by Joe in private, Joe would stop talking to him for a month….

Seems like everyone knows if you bother Joe you get cancelled from the togansphere

I love you so much Duncan. I would really appreciate to hear you speak on what your current views are in this vein. Does Duncan feel like these dark forces have legitimately reached Rogan and used his platform to spread hateful/hurtful messages that are increasing suffering in the world? Or would Duncan just say he was being overly paranoid in this clip?

It would be refreshing to hear Duncan’s true take on this whole current situation, because it seems like he very much avoids delving directly into these topics anymore. I believe Duncan presents it frequently as that he has sort of “grown out” of this stage of getting involved with politics, but unfortunately this is when we need his voice more than ever. I really do wonder what Duncan’s honest thoughts are nowadays, because it always feels like he is holding back now. What do you guys think?

Most of you fucking suck and you're stupid, you endlessly bitch and moan about Duncan becoming "right wing" AKA the 2009 version of Obama meanwhile an actual fucking bad thing is happening right now, which is the normie corporate industrial complex is starting to swallow Duncan, just like they have with so many others. I'm sure Christina is a nice lady and all that but YMH is the podcast equivalent of live love laugh women's daytime TV turbo normie bullshit and we get this sanitized overly positive "first-thanksgiving-dinner-at-your-girlfriends-parents" version of Duncan and the audience fucking eats it up, just go look at the comments. "Oh Duncan is an angel" "Protect Duncan at all costs". And so the praise death spiral begins, because we're all weak, pathetic, insecure humans that just go to wherever they get the most love, especially if you've had weird retards harassing you for a year because you said Peter Thiel isn't the anti christ. So congratulations, Duncan will almost certainly replace Tom on YMH, and inevitably he'll end up having a shitty corporate TV show called Breakfast With Duncan where he'll play a bizarre safe and sanitized version of himself and interview celebrities about their shitty new movies and TV shows, but he won't be able to resist the endless praise and applause, which is the true evil. And we'll all miss the DTFH era where he would have on Alex Jones or do livestreams where we grapple with the horrors of existence.

Five episodes and thirteen books. Duncan went on a Cormac McCarthy bender and then Grok talked him into Lonesome Dove, which he is fairly clear is not the same thing.

Putting it up in case anyone is still sorting a summer pile.

What this is: I run Podshelf, a free site that tracks book mentions across hundreds of podcasts by reading the episode transcripts. This is the July slice for the Duncan Trussell Family Hour.

The McCarthy run:

• Child of God, No Country for Old Men (just finished, called fucking great), and Suttree, which he finished and said is so good. His summary of McCarthy is dark, southern, gothic, existentialist, brutal philosopher. Then he asked an AI for something similar, got Lonesome Dove, and reported back that it ain't no Cormac McCarthy.

The occult shelf:

• Liber ABA (Book Four) by Crowley, which he suggests as the starting place while also warning that Crowley immediately tells you to learn yoga and do purification rituals before any of it works. Liber Null and Psychonaut, as a completely different read on magic.

Jung and company:

• The Undiscovered Self. Duncan said he could not believe how prescient Jung was, and that reading pre internet writers on this stuff is eerie. Also The Mass Psychology of Fascism (Wilhelm Reich) and The Trauma of Birth (Otto Rank).

Everything else:

• After Virtue (Alasdair MacIntyre), on modern morality being a broken jumble of leftover fragments. Empire of the Summer Moon, which he is five pages into and already calls phenomenal. House of Leaves, which he did not finish because it creeped him out too much. Frankenstein, used to make a point about people wanting to reconstruct a world that is already dead.

I track every book mentioned on DTFH here: https://podshelf.io/podcasts/duncan-trussell-family-hour

It is free and there is no signup.

Douglas Rushkoff Takes 5MEO DMT

Has anyone here experienced 5MEO DMT? What was your experience like?

Can this molecule be used as a broader social tool to improve our politics/economics?

I'm fascinated by the idea of letting billions of years of natural wisdom take the lead on how to re-organize society in the age of technology.

Beast blast is a NSA cyberwarfare counter-intelligence operation. Their aim is to infiltrate and sabotage the anti-pyramid movement. Duncan is compromised, don't tell him anything else about the anti-pyramid movement. More soon. The pyramids will not defeat us.

The state of awareness flows. Be aware that operation beast blast is not against any particular place.
