Recently, I've found Yahshua(Jesus Christ) and I'm going to be giving a Christian Theological perspective on the meaning of life. I'll be starting with Gods existence and working through the intricacies of the Big Bang. Stay tuned. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/anthonyboyd/message

News: Someone tried to track their kid with apples new AirTags. AirTags are used to track/locate lost or stolen items such as keys, wallets, etc. This person decided to see if they can use it as a long distance locator device. Luckily, this shouldn’t present any true privacy concerns because apple implemented a feature that cuts down on unwanted...

In this podcast, we go tinfoil hat. We take it to the science fiction level and explore the possibility(again) that we may be living in a simulation. This time we use the concept of procedural generation to give credence simulation theory. Notes* At first I use to laugh when people brought simulation theory up. I would scoff and say “you think we live in a computer?” Then I would humor them and ask “but what would be the point of this simulation?” I studied engineering. And along with...

Does social media atrophy our communication skills by way of the mechanisms implemented to keep us as passive consumers on the platform?(You can already tell the position I'm taking just by reading that question).

TLDR: People are angry with Kevin Samuels because he's speaking the truth of thousands of men and they're not use to that and they simply don't want to hear it—especially because it’s a Black man saying it. In this episode, I give my take as to why I think people are so angry with Kevin Samuels. I usually don't do these kinds of podcasts, but I think his show is important because of what he was able to accomplish: productive dialogue with women with regard to dating and marriage while...

We also wrestle with censorship again, a difficult topic to pin down when it comes to private companies. But this time we talk about censorship with regard to Section 230. Segments: ) ()...

For a long time I’ve pondered what social media actually is, whether it was simply a reflection of us or something more—an excavator of our most carnal and visceral inclinations. I’ve watched us become increasingly toxic via social media and the events of the past year or so seems to be evidence of this toxicity spilling onto the streets. In this podcast, I broach the subject of human nature as it relates to technology as well as the nuanced topic of censorship. Sources:...

The other day I came across a post from a young lady educating her timeline on botany. She showed us a plant with a withered leaf. This leafs dilapidated state is due to redistribution of nutrients to a new leaf that is in the early stages of growth. This made me think of paradigm shifts. Pulling nutrients from a full grown, worn out leaf, the plant prioritizes the younger leaf for new growth. In other words, one part of the plant has to die in order for another part for it to grow. In...

In this episode we explore Luke 11:33-36 & The Dhammapada to highlight the effect that focus has on our spiritual, mental, emotional and physical health. This podcast mainly deals with attention.
