The Path of Socrates

In this episode, MichelAngelo and I talk about the many astrologers who use “daily constellations” to make predictions for the masses, and of how senseless we think this practice is. Can the daily planetary positions ever be used to predict occurrences in such a general manner, or is this an abuse of astrology?

In this episode, I deal with the omnipresence of “bad news”, that dominates practically all of our media. No matter what happens where, we are given  “news” – most of which is not very good – immediately. But is it natural for humans to have to deal with so much information, much of it disturbing, every single day? How should we cope with this reality? "The Path of Socrates", with David Earl...

In this episode, MichelAngelo and I talk about essays he wrote in which he gives astrological analyses of the charts of two famous people: jazz pianist Bill Evans, and actor/ director/ screenwriter/ producer Orson Welles.

So what are you waiting for? Come join me, and we’ll take a ride on the “truth train”!

Considering the fact that Joe Biden is just about the most unpopular president ever, and that the mid-term U.S: elections are coming up in November, it would make total sense for the Democrats to remove Biden and Harris, and replace them with two other Dems who seem more acceptable to voters. Yet they are not doing it. Why not? In this talk with MichelAngelo, we discuss this issue... "The Path of...

In this episode, dedicated to the subject of Astrology, Michelangelo and I discuss the planet Saturn, and how an “excess” of this energy can lead to a petrification of sorts in one’s life, which can play a role in the “all-too-soon” arrival of death. On the other hand, the gifts of Saturn are many, and should be willingly accepted and incorporated into one’s life. Most especially in our times, we...

In this episode, I deal with the tremendously important question of just how important your friends are to you – and how far we should go to help our friends when they most need it.

There seems to be evidence that it is possible for a human to have lived a past life as a… snake?!! Could this possibly be true? How could such a state of affairs affect the beliefs of the many people who, while they do believe that humans can reincarnate, would not at all like it if  the “path of reincarnation” were to take us through lives as animals – and pretty low animals at that! Michel...

I recently had a conversation with a friend of mine who did an interesting little test: he approached ten women on the street and made each an offer he was hoping they would not refuse. In general, the reactions he got from them were, if one looks at the situation objectively, quite disgusting. In the end, he just about managed to convince me: woman – generally speaking – are insolent!  (Yes,...

A sad phenomenon of our time is the loss of friendships – sometimes friendships that had lasted for many years – due to arguments concerning the present “health crisis” and the coercive “inoculation campaigns” foisted upon us by both the all-powerful Medical/ Pharmaceutical Industrial Complex as well as politicians the world over. How is a person to come to terms, mentally and emotionally, with th...

In this episode, Michelangelo and I discuss quotes by Naomi Wolf and Dr. Robert Malone, and talk about “evil” in the world. If I get somewhat vehement in my expression, please forgive me, but nothing angers me more than genocidal plans to wipe out millions of human beings. (Call it a “personal pet peeve”, if you will.) https://bit.ly/3MgUggJ Naomi Wolf quote https://bit.ly/3vyRI6W Dr. Robert Malon...

Today, my guest Ivan M. Paton shares his well-researched, and startling insights into the “health crisis” and the "inoculations". Brace yourself, for the truth is not for the faint-hearted… yet everyone should be aware of what is actually going on. "The Path of Socrates", with David Earl Bolton IVAN M.

The word “ideology” is used often these days, and many people are proud that they have adopted a particular ideology: left  wing, progressive, right-wing, religious, or whatever. I, on the other hand, have long been a sworn enemy of ideology of any kind. Why? Listen to this episode to hear a simple analysis of exactly what an “ideology” is, and how it almost always leads to intolerance, close...

A great number of people use the word “proof” in contexts where it is not at all appropriate. This often leads not only to error, but also to inflexibility of thought, and even fanaticism. This episode talks about this phenomenon, and gives suggestions on how we can refine our thinking by using these terms correctly, and above all, understanding what they actually imply. "The Path of Socrates", wi...

Of course, there are many types of beasts of burden: horses, llamas, oxen, etc. The subject of this discussion between MichelAngelo and myself is, quite specifically, the “mule”.  For you see, those “2000 Mules” have brought us startling revelations about what really happened in the U.S. in the  autumn of 2020...

This week, someone at the Supreme Court “leaked” information about the internal conversations of the justices and how they will probably rule on the issue of possibly overturning Roe vs. Wade. The fact that this leak seemed to indicate that that controversial 1973 decision may well soon be overturned unleashed a tsunami of hysteric rage on the political left. But what was behind this “leak”? Was i...

Why is it that we think about things in a certain way? In this episode, I use the example of rejoicing simply because “it’s Friday!” to explain how we regularly program our minds to form beliefs that may in fact have become completely irrelevant.

Elon Musk has bought Twitter, and censorship on that platform could well be a thing of the past: what a horrible turn of events for the totalitarians on the political left! But did the famous billionaire really just make that rather pricey purchase because he wanted to restore free speech there, or is this all a part of the bigger picture in this war for the minds of the masses? In this episode, M...

Traditionally, when someone becomes a physician, they take an oath, the so-called “Hippocratic Oath”, whose purpose it is to serve as a sound ethical guideline for the practice of medicine. In this episode, MichelAngelo and I discuss how doctors the world over have chosen to violate this once-sacred oath by committing acts that are most likely making poor old Hippocrates roll around in his grave.....

Clif High recently published an essay that is so good that I felt motivated to read it in this short episode. Theme of the essay: people who think, and those who don’t think. Brilliantly written (as is practically everything that Clif High writes), this essay really “hits the nail on the head”! See the line below to go to the page of the essay, and don’t hesitate to become a subscriber of Clif: he...

During the Hitler years, the majority of Germans supported the criminal regime, either through active participation, or else through passive acceptance. Yet even under the threat of execution, there were some brave individuals who refused to remain passive, and who took any measures they could to offer resistance to the Nazis. Sophie and Hans Scholl, brother and sister, were two such heroes. True,...

We sometimes hear people expressing a desire to “believe”. This strikes me as a bit foolish. Shouldn’t we rather desire to KNOW, if at all possible? In my view, belief should only begin where the possibility of knowing ends. This episode explains why...

One of the most popular techniques in predictive astrology is the “one degree per year” method, by which each factor in the natal chart is moved (“directed”) at the rate of one degree per year of life, that motion being on the ecliptic. But what is the astronomical basis for such a motion, considering the fact that only the Sun moves at that rate, and that only approximately? Should we rely on any...

Very often, teachers – unwittingly or not – make their students dependent upon them, instead of doing what any excellent teacher should in fact do: namely, to guide the pupil towards true independence in the area concerned. For it is only thus that the student may become truly creative in that field, and make more significant contributions to it throughout his or her life. "The Path of Socrates",...
