In this thought-provoking conversation, we’re joined by a guest who's no stranger to the shadowy overlaps of fringe beliefs, government psyops, and the supernatural. We crack open the “Cass Sunstein Effect” and explore how psychological manipulation, social media echo chambers, and even the church contribute to a distorted search for truth. From demons to disinformation, from Crowley to cryptids, nothing’s off the table in this deep-dive into discernment, deception, and discernment again. It’s a masterclass in keeping your eyes open—spiritually and intellectually.\nFree the Rabbits- https://podcasts.apple.com/ag/podcast/free-the-rabbits/id1752866529\n Free The Rabbits https://youtu.be/IPalYBUgo3M?si=SSanqtKR6AU-zevJ\nPDF available to our sponsors only-- copyright issue\nTimeline:\n00:09 Controlling the narrative\n00:54 Guest intro: Joel Thomas of Free the Rabbits\n03:19 Breaking down the deception in fringe spaces\n05:39 Growing up with fringe interests\n07:55 Creating a balanced, biblical lens\n10:00 Real disinformation and the Cass Sunstein paper\n12:10 The \"everything is fake\" trap\n14:25 We weren’t made for heaven—our purpose on Earth\n16:49 The problem with “waking people up”\n19:05 What the Sunstein document got right\n21:28 The rise of conspiracy culture since 2009\n23:46 Critical thinking vs. jumping to conclusions\n26:11 Disinformation and the “truth-er” crowd\n28:31 The Sunstein paper and its ripple effects\n30:51 Nudge theory and behavior manipulation\n33:04 Noise-canceling deception\n35:29 The real aim: dismantle trust\n37:50 Disinformation leads to self-censorship\n40:02 Discernment and spiritual grounding\n42:21 The root issue: discontentment and money\n44:40 End times hype and the business behind fear\n46:58 Supernatural encounters and spiritual warfare\n49:22 Film projects, portals, and the Meadow Project\n51:41 Alistair Crowley, British intel, and cryptids\n54:00 Final reflections and farewells","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/SEi08kDnmS3ucXi-RfuKquACTpfh-Kjws-EHkJR3Eps/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9mYjhk/MGY5YjJhYTVlZGM1/ZDZhOWQ0MzNiMjIx/NWE4Yi5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
