Compulsory Courses for Any Curriculum; The Science Dilemma

Science is pervasive directly and indirectly in every phase of modern life. While the majority are not directly involved in science, they need to understand science and how it works.

Jay w/Hoax Busters: Darwinian Materialism as Metaphysical Presupposition

I called into the Hoax Buster’s Call to discuss the crucial subject of how presuppositions and paradigms function as templates to interpret “facts.”  There are no “brute facts” that come un-interpreted, outside of some contextual framework or worldview.  In this discussion we investigate how the human mind categorizes the “data” or experience and how our governing assumptions about life and the world determine what the “facts” are, which constitute evidence and/or which are rejected and reinterpreted based on our beliefs (even when we presu

Esoteric Hollywood: Laurel Canyon’s Weird Scenes – Review & Analysis (Half)

The first hour is free, while the full talk can be obtained by subscribing to JaysAnalysis for 4.95 a month or 60.00 a year at the pay pal links. In this first free hour I review and analyze Dave McGowan’s excellent book, Weird Scenes Inside the Canyon: Laurel Canyon, Covert Ops and the Dark Heart of the Hippie Dream, in an in-depth fashion. Comparable as a compliment to my own book, Esoteric Hollywood, this audio reviews Dave’s research, looks at his claims and adds my own information to some of his puzzle pieces.

ClandesTime 079 – Wild Things - Spy Culture

Wild Things is a 1998 erotic thriller which is usually seen as a tacky, trashy sex movie set in the glossy upper class world of Blue Bay, Florida. This week we take a closer look at this film, examining its complex plot as a clue to what lies beneath the bikini-clad surface. We examine various aspects of the film that are hallmarks of classical theatre, from the soundtrack as a Greek chorus to the theme of water as a form of catharsis that runs throughout the film.
