Off The Lead

Data, when organised (put in formation) becomes information, and with information comes the possibility of narrative extraction. But when you have a pre existing narrative (or Ideology), how do you reverse engineer it to reveal the information that led to its inception? And from information, how do you reverse engineer it, to see the data which gave rise to it in the first place?!That's what this episode is all about. That and vaccines. And timelines. If you have anything to share on any of this I am all ears and you'll get me on 0896047888.As always I can be supported via patreon (link in bio) or by Revolut using the username @offthelead.

This episode was inspired by a question I was asked by a friend, "How does biological determinism align with the "domestication of humans"?".When asked, I knew I had an answer but didn't know what it was. This episode is my attempt to answer that question.One of many things that came out of the wash on this one was that moment to moment mindfulness is the antidote to biological determinism, and also, that it's essentially the key to freeing yourself from being further domesticated by the ruling class.It's time to fight back bitches!

Religions have had rules for you to follow ever since there has been religions. On one hand, this is just how a small group of people have effectively controlled the majority, and on the other, it's a great way to save you from having a crisis of conscious every time your faced with a hard problem. However, when it comes to vaccines, especially new and somewhat compulsory ones, there is no rule (in my religion at least) that tells you what you should or shouldn't do.This episode is an exploration of the above. I feel I 'should' get vaccinated, but only because of peer pressure and this alone makes me less inclined to get vaccinated.I suppose what it boils down to is that we need to be able to outsource our opinion, and to do so we need as eclectic a list of influencers as possible.

This episode investigates the difference between 'Implicit' and 'Explicit'. It warrants further investigation though as I may have stumbled upon another fundamental difference between mind and soul.Synonyms for mind and soul;Thoughts and feelingsEgo and spiritMore generally they are represented by;Science and religionFact and fictionWritten and performed music See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Yin and Yang, order and chaos, good and bad, night and day, oh my!Today I try develop my idea of, "philosophical bedrock" and move away from a rock in the ocean to a path through a jungle - as you do.I also try and incorporate the idea of timelines and narratives.

The type of business you should start (or whether you should start one in the first place) is dictated to a large degree by the type of person you are.Ideally you would have a good grasp of who and what you are before you even start. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

I was looking for images to accompany this episode and the things I searched were as follows; Maturation, personal development, proof of concept, metamorphosis, becoming yourself, ripening, becoming an adult, shaking the shackles, growth etc etc.All of these are vaguely associated with what I'm talking about in this episode. More specifically, this episode is about expanding on the idea that I'm currently in a transitional period. But even more specifically, that I've shown beyond any reasonable doubt that I have 'proof of concept' regarding both my business and my podcast. And that it's high time to up my game. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

I've been struggling with the question of 'what am I doing with the podcast?'. And I've finally figured it out - I don't know. And this is both the worst and best thing about doing it.Don't get hung up on why you're doing something that you want to do. 'Wanting to' is arguably the best reason in the first place. Whether or not you know why. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

I've uploaded over 150 episodes so far this year and it's high time I took some time off to ask myself a few questions.Why am I doing this?How much longer do I intend on doing this?Does the benefit justify the cost? ie is it worth it?How can it be improved?What are my likes and dislikes about it?Could my time be better spent?Etc etc. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

I love recording a podcast when I've something to say. It's great, it's cathartic to get all this shit out of my head. But.When I don't have anything to say per se, I force myself to speak extemporaneously and not knowing what your going to say, (although quite stressful) can be incredibly rewarding.This episode is the personification of that exact phenomenon. I started talking about picking and choosing worldviews and ended up talking about intellectually bitch slapping someone up side the face in an octagon. Big shout out to all of these who have thrown me a few pound via the username @offthelead on Revolut. Much appreciated!

We have murder, manslaughter, first and second degree murder, and we have these distinctions for a reason - not all murders are equal.We have assault and GBH (grevious bodily harm), but what about racism?

I make the case that our influencers are like our interests, at least in so far as we don't pick them as much as they pick us.Am I a big sexist? That's for others to decide as I'm genuinely not sure. If I am it's something that I would like to adress because it's by no means a label that I'd be happy to wear.If you're enjoying these episodes you might consider supporting me.

Today I try and explore what I'm doing with the whole Off The Lead 'thing'.What it means to me, what I think it means to people who listen and what it could be beneficial for.
