The Reason For Now
Humans flatter themselves with their complicated theories about themselves . Maybe it's a symptom of our craving for significance within the expanding universe. In reality we are cavemen and forgetting this is what complicates matters. Understand this and you can derive and predict the reason for now and the future. Enjoy.

Episode 195: Corona gone since June. Why clever people do idiotic things. Lockdown and masks anyone? 28.11.2020 48:30
We review Ivor Cummins and Mike Yeadon's data presentations and interpretations which almost conclusively via observational data show that corona virus had its peak and was on the way out BEOFRE the first lockdown and is now part of the flora and fauna with almost certain herd immunity. Young people cannot be causing any kind of a peak now because young would always have been the ones least likely...
Episode 194: Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Lockdown Deux! A bad sequel for worse reasons. 21.11.2020 46:35
The statistics are clear. Excess deaths have remained unchanged since May/June this year. The PCR test applied on an industrial scale is unreliable with an unspecified high false positive rate so the more testing of even a healthy population the more false positives masquerading as cases will be found. The apparent rise in covid mortality has exactly mirrored the reduction in mortality from other...
Episode 193: Lockdown new normal or new nonsense 31.10.2020 47:16
Why is there so much disagreement amongst the medical community about Corona Virus? The reason is that there is no clear specific risk along the lines that is being presented to us which can bear logical scrutiny. The average age of a corona virus death is 82.4 years old which is higher than the average life span i.e. the average person cannot expect to experience death from corona in their life t...
Episode 192: Humans Are Capable Of Anything Depending On The Environment 21.09.2020 30:56
Politicians continue to show a singular incompetence to manage any major situation due to media hysteria and a self serving need to stay in power resulting in abrogation of responsibility at every opportunity hiding behind the apron strings of unipolar Aspergian academics largely government funded. We are faced with further nonsensical all consuming debate on whether to apply more lockdown based o...
Episode 191: What Do Ministers Actually Do? 23.08.2020 43:03
Today we take a break from incisive analysis using our expert backgrounds and for once in a blue moon we let rip with the help of our special guest starring with what do Ministers actually do?
Episode 190: Working from Home: The danger of first impressions. 18.08.2020 39:36
Working from home at first glance releases stressed commuters from their daily grind both the stress and cost of it and gives parents a fighting chance to reliably pick up their kids. It may even give you a sense of autonomy especially with a micromanaging boss. It even in a lot of cases increases productivity. But the rest is all bad, in fact very bad and dangerous to the future of human society....
Episode 189: Can politicians be trusted to do what is best for us or best for themselves? 09.08.2020 41:08
Politicians are democratically elected and as such have to be competent at one thing only and that is to get elected. Unfortunately competence in public office is then a matter of chance or in fact even less than that. By that we mean that whenever there is a vested interest then it is likely that that the individual in that position will act according to their vested interest and not in the best...
Episode 188: Abuse of Power 02.08.2020 44:34
We discuss how groups of animals function and how we differ to that in human society in the West. Animals function with power and hierarchy on a zero sum game. Humans in the West function through hierarchies of competence associated with different levels of authority in a non zero sum game. The way your position in the hierarchy is applied is power and this is open to abuse but hierarchies of comp...
Episode 187: Victim Role, and why political correctness is a dangerous consequence 26.07.2020 43:27
Victim role is poorly addressed by the current experts but defines one of the core pathologies of current times. It has been touted as not taking responsibility but this is just one of the manifestations. It is the lack of taking meaningful control of your life and anything that is not meaningful and of service to developing you as a person or your life in a better way is pathological. It becomes...
Episode 186: To Woke or not to Woke? 19.07.2020 44:52
'Woke' has been in use for years and is an adjective used to signify that you have 'woken' to social injustice especially racism. It has rapidly accelerated to assume the synonym of political correctness. It is politically incorrect not to be 'woke'.It is for instance 'woke' to wear masks and 'woke' to take the knee . But what being 'woke' really means is being subservient to the self proclaimed g...
Episode 185: What makes someone noble? Birth, actions or intention? 12.07.2020 44:19
We discuss the concept of nobility both in terms of position in society but more importantly in terms of actions. Noble acts are those with a higher than average moral compass but it is the driver to this which determines whether the person is actually noble. For instance someone who is a binary thinker on the right sift of the Asperges spectrum is a black and white thinker and will automatically...
Episode 184: Why stop at toppling statues? What about the big boss who oversees and allows all atrocities? God? 21.06.2020 45:54
We take a critical look at why racism exists, the idea of erecting and toppling statues and the ultimate irony of Oliver Cromwell the founding father of modern parliament and democracy in the UK. People are idolised by their contemporaries using the standards of the time. It is impossible to say whether that person would have behaved the same way at a different time in a different life. It is cert...
Episode 183: Is racism a normal phenomenon? Is the expression of racism part of a badly run society? 07.06.2020 52:41
In evolutionary terms what is familiar and similar to us we like and what is unfamiliar or dissimilar we do not like. Generally this made sense because something would be familiar if it had not eaten us during our last encounter with it. We are tribal and have been hardwired to favour and relate to members of our own tribe which conferred an evolutionary advantage. Our mirror neurones in fact resp...
Episode 182: Stress and Trauma in Pandemic Lock-down 31.05.2020 44:46
Stress is a symptom associated with loss of control. We all experience it often on a daily basis. Trauma is the outcome when under severe stress either acutely or over a prolonged period of time. At least one third of the population have suffered trauma at some point in their lives. Trauma develops if the event or series of events that led to the stress is so unpleasant or terrifying that the brai...
Episode 181: The Pandemic Was Over When The Panic Started Lock Down or No Lock Down 24.05.2020 48:35
The Pandemic was on the way out just when panic started, in the case of the UK in early April. This was approximately replicated round the world. Ttherefore response strategy was irrelevant. Lock down or no lockdown made no difference to the duraton of the virus in our communities. Sweden which did not adopt lockdown and went for herd immunity only managed to achieve one third infection rate.. Lon...
Episode 180: Time For Gena Miller Again? What stops someone admitting they are wrong? 17.05.2020 44:51
The government are starting to squabble amongst themselves as to how best approach this 'pandemic'. They have listened to the wrong experts, in fact it looks like they listened to the first expert who appears to have been some kind of in house on retainer expert Nial Ferguson who has a history of making rather odd projections and believed in his advice so much he broke it to have an affair with a...
Episode 179: How Corona Virus is culling the population. Why lock down is a mistake. 09.05.2020 49:00
Ethnic minorities especially Black Caribbean males are at highest risk from the Corona Virus. The key here is obesity or comorbidity which is highest in Black males and in ethnic minorities with increased age. The UK has the most diverse and largest mix of these at risk groups in Europe. Corona Virus uses the ACE2 receptor to enter cells and this in increased in any form of stress whether physical...
Episode 178: Lesson's from the 1918 Pandemic. Economic Collapse and World War 3? 03.05.2020 47:59
The 1918 pandemic killed more people in a short period of time than all the wars of the 20th century combined. The last recorded case was in 1957. Lock down worked but only until the virus circulated the globe and came back for a second wave. Lock down was effective as it was highly fatal with no super spreaders , in other words lock down of a few weeks ensured that anyone who had it was either de...
Episode 177: Lockdown Induced Economic Catastrophe Could Be Good For Us! 26.04.2020 41:26
This week statistics coming out of India show that seasonally adjusted mortality is less than normal. The reason is that road traffic accidents in India kill more people than coronavirus. A sobering thought which becomes even more sinister when you consider research published over the last few years that shows that economic collapse actually increasing life span. How can this be when we know that...
Episode 176: Why do some people cope better than others in a crisis? Soutzos 19.04.2020 39:38
We show that dealing with a crisis and the effect a crisis has on you is directly related to your attitude and perception and in evolutionary terms those of us who have greatest difficulty dealing with every day life due to high innate anxiety can be most effective in a crisis. We also discuss how 'experts' are often the wrong people to advise on any situation involving human behaviour and certain...
Episode 175: Conspiracy? And How to Deal With Lock Down 09.04.2020 45:16
We discuss evidence of vested interest of the large pharmas to have an illness for which every single member of society needs to have a vaccine and the fact that the Senate passed litigation indemnity for large pharmas with respect to vaccines. Lock dow is all about stress. Stress is about control. Control comes with routine and structure and planning. Quality of life at home comes with mindfulnes...
Episode 174: Facts and not Emotion of Coronavirus 05.04.2020 39:11
We have said from the beginning that a media driven frenzy of panic is not the best way to influence the nation and in turn elected politicians who then listen to academics with unidimensional models that completely neglect equally if not important factors. The fact is that now a projected drop of GDP of 7.5% caused by the lockdown is going to kill orders of magnitude more than just the coronaviru...
Episode 173: Coronavirus uncut. The Statistics and the reality so far. 26.03.2020 44:54
There are many conspiracy theories but even more panic and media hype. The reality is that coronavirus world wide still has not killed as many as normal flu in one year in the UK alone. Given effective modern medical treatment (in this case ventilators) mortality should be about the same as normal flu. Conversely death and suffering from economic collapse and social lock down will be much more. As...
Episode 172: Can Coronavirus Really Make The Markets Drop 25%? 13.03.2020 43:49
The statistics of Corona virus indicate that where modern medical care is available then the mortality is no more than the common flu. But in contrast to usual flu those few seriously affected are more likely to need Intensive Care. The higher mortality rates in Italy may reflect an older population where a large proportion also are smokers as well as the Italian tradition of greeting in social gr...
Episode 171: The Power of Likeability and why Corona Virus is an excuse for authoritatianism 04.03.2020 43:26
Corona Virus is in the same family as the common cold. The clear statistics are that mortality rate is not much higher than the flu and may be lower. Those vulnerable to serious illness are the elderly and immunocompromised as with all flus and medics involved in direct care who are likely to be exposed to much higher doses. The main difference is that if it affects a patient seriously then ITU is...
