A Chemical Mind

Video edition is now available! Hi, I'm Nicholas, the author of A Chemical Mind on Substack. This is the first of what I hope will be an ongoing series of special podcast interviews with great scientists and science communicators. To start us off, I had the absolute privilege to interview the great and prolific Dr Paul Offit (Substack: Beyond the Noise ). He's a professor of vaccinology and pediat...

Welcome to Part 3 of Deliver Us from Evil. This series is now expanding beyond José Delgado’s story, as we dive into the history of conspiratorial thinking during times of health crisis. You don’t need to read the first two parts this time; although relevant, they are not prerequisites. My goal in this series is not merely exploring the history for its own sake; I also hope to arm you with the cog...

Welcome to Part 2 of Deliver us from Evil, the story of the Character Assassination of José Delgado and the origins of the Mind Control Chip conspiracy theory. If you haven’t already, I recommend reading/listening to Part 1, which can be found here: If you’re all caught up, then let’s dive in, shall we? It’s about to get weird.

Not this t...

Note from the Author : I'd like to personally thank Prof Bill Kovarik , who is also a subscriber, for his work on this subject. He and a small band of like-minded individuals have produced the vast majority of authoritative scientific accounts, data, and research on Leaded Petrol exposure, and have been on a lonely mission to inform the world of the damage that has been done to so many by the gree...

Warning: this episode contains references to drug use. Last year, I posted up a response to a redditor who messaged me asking if there’s a way to reduce his chances of developing Parkinsons. The question sent me on a research trip of epic proportions, and sadly, I didn't end up finding anything out there that might help. However, I was hopeful, because it was not inevitable that they would develop...
