The Path of Socrates

When engaged in a discussion, debate, or even a “normal” conversation, do you ever get the feeling that the other person isn’t really hearing what you say? Here is a simple technique you can use to make sure they do listen to you – and that you will listen more carefully to them as well. After all, we can only really communicate if we actually know what is being said! "The Path of Socrates", with...

If a tree falls in the forest, and nobody is there, does it make a sound? And if aliens stop by the earth for a visit, and nobody notices them, are they really there? This episode deals with a very common phenomenon of our time: how a great number of people are so distracted by the millions of things presented to them on the Internet, that they don’t seem to take much notice at all when some truly...

Here is Part II of the little “game” I introduced in Episode 24: How can one country conquer another without initiating a “hot” war? In this part, I delve into it more extensively, and discuss what has been happening in the U.S. in the years up to the present.

In this podcast, we shall play a little game: let’s imagine we are leaders of a powerful country, and wish to conquer another, more powerful nation, without beginning a conventional war. How might we go about such an undertaking? This episode will help you to understand what is going on in this world of ours – and you may have a bit of fun along the way as well! (Part I of 2) "The Path of Socrates...

It has become fashionable these days – perhaps especially among “intellectuals” – to adopt an agnostic, or even an atheistic mindset where anything that so much as hints of religion is concerned. But is this “throwing out the baby along with the bathwater” attitude really the most reasonable position to take? Could it not be that there are elements of religion that are indeed true, and that are po...

Some unusual videos are going around the internet, which show people placing magnets to the site of Covid injections in their arms – and the magnets stick! Could this be true? And even if it is: what could it mean? Or perhaps the videos are fakes, designed to sway public opinion? Though this is hardly an earth-shaking topic, I thought it might be fun to delve into it and consider the possibilities...

Is it possible that Joe Biden is in fact not THE president – or even, that he is not president at all? Well, since just about anything is possible, of course it is. But the next question should be “how probable is it?”. This podcast, based on a few observations on my part, shows that such a situation could, in fact, be quite probable (though certainly not 100% certain!). Consider this podcast an a...

Amazingly, there are many people who actually think that the “Great Reset”, and even the “New World Order” are good ideas. Others don’t seem to care, one way or the other. Once you hear this podcast, I believe you will “wake up”, and begin to understand that both of these “ideals” could quickly lead to a horrific world dictatorship, the likes of which the world has never seen. "The Path of Socrate...

Did you ever think about how our views of the world are virtually completely formed by what we are shown and told by the media? Yet how can we know that we aren’t being manipulated? And even if there is no deliberate manipulation, could it be that we end up placing emphasis on things that really aren’t so important in the greater scheme of things? This podcast explores such issues, and more. "The...

NOTE: To understand this podcast, PLEASE CLICK HERE to download the following .jpg file (it’s a graph), (If link doesn't work, copy/paste this URL: http://www.dboltoncreations.com/Graph_Political.jpg  ) What?! Could it be that people on the left of the political spectrum tend more towards mental imbalance than those on the right?? Or maybe those on the right are simply less willing to admit t...

When speaking of subjects such as the “jab”, Covid-19, or other areas where your opinion might be that of the “opposition”, how often have you heard that you should be censored because “crying ‘fire!’ in a crowded theater may not be allowed!”? This seemingly sensible argument is, however, very often merely a cheap ploy to justify censorship, and to illicitly silence anyone whose views conflict wit...

PLEASE WATCH this video either before, or after listening to this podcast: “6 Things that show China's Organ Harvesting is real”: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NLFMid4qVVc   or: https://www.bitchute.com/video/Jk95bgqvozrZ/ This podcast was not easy for me to do, because of its depressing topic, yet it is perhaps my most important. EVERYONE should be informed of the crimes of the Chines...

What is it that possesses some people and causes them to hurl vile insults, showing their ugliest characteristics when interacting with others through the internet? Wouldn’t it be nice if everyone were to remember that the individual “on the other end” is also a human being, no matter what his/hers views, and therefore deserves to be shown at least a basic degree of respect? Disagreeing with other...

The world is a complex place, now more than ever; sadly, it is virtually impossible to research each and every subject enough to come to very solid conclusions (“No time to do my homework!). Unfortunately, there is another factor that is casting a shadow on many issues: the tendency of a majority of people to simply accept the narrative of “their” side of the political debate, without seeking out,...

One can only be amazed at some of the accusations being hurled at certain public figures these days. And it can get confusing: should we always adopt an attitude of disbelief? Or belief? Naturally, it is always better to examine those accusations, and the entire constellation of circumstances surrounding them, before even partially believing one side or the other. In any case, this subject can get...

Very often, I experience astrologers who try to justify their own opinions about someone being “good” or “bad” by referring to elements of that person’s birth chart. Yet the truth is, the ethical level of an individual cannot be seen in a natal chart, or in any other chart type for that matter. This podcast explains why that is, and may be considered a call to all astrologers to ponder this issue...

In all societies and governments, the technique of “demonization” is routine. That is, depicting your “enemy” as someone especially “evil” in order to win more and more people over to your side, so that you may gain – or hold on to – power. Yet the masses often seem blissfully unaware of how they are being manipulated, and all-too-often buy into the rhetoric of one side or the other, thus becoming...

Even if you’re not the richest, smartest, or most contented person around, you no doubt have much to be grateful for. But how often do you actually feel gratitude for what life – and others – have given to you throughout the years of your earthly existence? This episode is meant to help you gain a better perspective on the importance of feeling gratitude, for it can truly help you to become a bett...

When talking politics, people speak commonly of "left" or "right". But how many pause to actually think about the real differences between these two groups, and above all, about how the further you go to either the left, or the right, the closer you get to totalitarianism? This podcast shed light on this, and other aspects, of the left/right "polarity". "The Path of Socrates", with David Earl Bolt...

In this somewhat humorous podcast, I ponder aloud about the seemingly ever-present usage of vulgar and obscene language, and about the lamentable decline in respect towards others that such language often entails. (No “bad language” is used in the podcast, so there’s no problem if younger people listen!) "The Path of Socrates", with David Earl Bolton My Amazon author page: https://www.amazon.com/D...

We all know Dr. Fauci – but do we really know him? Should we continue to let this man have the tremendous power of influence that he has exercised for well over a year? Or could there be signs that just perhaps he isn’t the noble “do-gooder” we thought he was, who may not have only our best interests at heart? This podcast sheds a bit of light on Fauci’s past, giving details that you very likely w...

A problem many people have when trying to come to a conclusion in a complicated situation is that they don’t adequately establish, and then trust, their axioms. This podcast clarifies, and aims to help rectify, this difficulty, so that you may be able to get closer to the truth, whatever the predicament.

Many people make blanket statements such as Astrology "works", or "doesn't work", as if it had to be one or the other. The reality is somewhat more subtle. In this monologue, I deal with the nuances of this subject. A short talk meant not just for the thinking astrologer, but for everyone, including those who are just vaguely interested in astrology.

What do you think of when you hear the word “humanity”? Perhaps the total of all people who have ever lived? Or does the term represent something else in your mind: not a collective consisting of numerous individuals, but rather, an “idea” whose connection to physical reality is nothing more than soulless DNA? Today more than ever, defining and defending a truly humane concept of humanity is cruci...

Forget “climate change” for a moment, and consider that far greater danger to the future of humanity: the alarming increase in the number of people on Earth. If you, dear listener, and I were “rulers of the world”, how might we go about solving this problem, and in such a way that people not only wouldn’t notice what we were up to, but would actually unwittingly give us their overwhelming support?...
