Basecamp for Men E276: Diving Into A.I.

E276: Diving Into A.I. with Special Guest Pamela Leslie

 

E276 Introduction

We seem to be at a critical juncture in both the narrative war and in the evolution of our existence here in this planet. A changing of the guard, as they say.The old systems, whether that is money or tech or medicine, to name just few, are crumbling under the weight of both bureaucratic bloat and just plain ole graft and corruption. You can see it in real time, each one of us as witness.

Futurists are lined up seeing either the new golden age or a technocratic nightmare, depending on which inputs you put in your brain. The decentralized revolution with Bitcoin at the center are creeping towards center stage and mainstream awareness. It is, in many ways, inevitable.

And along with the decentralized revolution and people first systems there sits AI, or LLM as they are properly called. Chat GPT, Grok, Claude, and even the Chinese Communist Party‘s Deep Seek, to name just a few.

At first glance, it looks like robots are going to take over the world. This too seems a bit inevitable. But if technology has taught us anything, it is that although there are dangers in emerging technology, there are also incredible gifts for humans. What are those gifts? Sometimes it can be hard to tell as first-uses for the early adopters sometimes give way to radical new ways of seeing and doing things as the global village adopts and innovates with the new technology.

I must admit, I was resistance to all the LLM at first. But as someone who creates lots of content on a regular basis, I can see how much packaging and marketing this content will be streamlined with proper use of a LLM. I just need to learn how to do it.

I was fortunate enough to meet my guest today, who teaches a class for newbies on how to get started using any of a number of these LLM’s for better productivity and a bunch of other things. The future is now Basecampers and I don’t know about you but I would rather start early and understand the changes that are happening than sit on the sidelines imagining the worst.

I hope enjoy the episode.

Basecamp for Men E274: Basecamp Classic

E274: Basecamp Classic w Paul Dunion

 

E274 Introduction

Today’s episode is a Basecamp Classic, meaning a replay of a top shelf episode from seasons past. I try to keep these to only 4 or 5 a year. I like to use them whenever we are a little low on content. I have a bunch of good interviews coming up but needed something this week. Plus for the new listeners, you may have missed a few gems from back in the day.

This episode is a really good one. It’s from all the way back to season two. The original title was E 46: Wisdom for Uncertain Times w Special Guest Paul Dunion. It is a fitting theme for today, the episode holds up well all these years later, and Paul has always been one of my favorite guests to interview. You genuinely feel you are sitting around the fire with a true master. Enjoy this Basecamp Classic.

E11 Introduction

It’s one of the things we all gravitate towards: Life, inspiration, wisdom, and clarity. These qualities are our birthright as we navigate the minefield that are the times that we live in.

The American Pulse E7: Our Neighbors Awaken

E7: Our Neighbors Awaken

 

E7 Introduction

Hello listeners and welcome to The American Pulse. It is great to have you here with us today. Today is a short little episode with our sponsor, a short piece of news and a song! We are early in our creative process with The American Pulse and trying some different ways of delivering something valuable to you. Knowing that we are all bombarded with content. We are hoping to find something that is short but impactful. Let’s get right to it with a word from our sponsor and this short offering.

There is a local story here that I wanted to share with you along with some of my thoughts on it.

There was a local Democrat leader Jessica Roberts, a transgender woman (meaning, of course a man posing as a woman), who was unanimously elected to the local Lynnwood city council. Well, they didn’t do their due diligence very well as it quickly emerged that Jessica had some dark fantasies that she posted on Reddit. What were they? She graphically describes fantasies of killing and dismembering women and also of eating children while people watch. Yes you heard that right.

Why am I telling you this. For all of the independents and Democrats who have finally had enough.

As a fairly new Republican myself, I want to welcome you with respect and appreciation of your courage for we know how difficult it can be to break away from the herd. Many of us did the same thing. It’s truly a Hero’s Journey and we honor wherever you are on your awakening.

To finish, here is a song of optimism for those that have had enough of the madness. This song harkens back to my own journey. When I looked around at the insane ideas that we being foisted up us and made a choice to reach for a more positive and uplifting narrative.

If you like the song, go download Wake Me Up by Avicii on I-Tunes. And we thank you for tuning into The American Pulse.

 

Basecamp for Men E268: Wisdom and Clear Seeing

E268: Wisdom and Clear Seeing w Special Guest Joel Rafidi

 

E268 Introduction

One of the central themes of this show (especially since 2020 and Covid) has been the Great Awakening of consciousness in the human tribe. Things have been accelerated on this timeline. And as much as pro-freedom, pro-American MAGA and MAHA are ready to celebrate the renewal of the American dream, we have some underlying dynamics that need to play out, are you following me?

As my guest today so eloquently expresses, much of the world feels like these are dark days, apocolypic even. It is important to keep that in mind as these epic events unfold, one after another.

It is a good time to travel LIGHTLY, meaning don’t hold too tightly to preconceived notions of right and wrong, us and them. Humanity as a collective seem to be holding on for dear life right now and keeping that in your awareness will help you and others.

What do humans do when they gradually realize that the systems that they placed their faith in not only don’t serve them but have actively tried to gaslight them and keep them in the dark. The cognitive dissonance that we are witnessing right now is astonishing.

However, there is more light coming into awareness. You can sense this as well. Each day brings a new revelation. We are suddenly realizing COLLECTIVELY that there are many things that we DON’T need as a society. This list is growing every day as the exposure of graft and corruption reach epic proportions.

It’s a good time to restore one’s faith. Whether that is God and Christ or the Divine or the benevolent forces of the creative Universe or just humanity and each other. We have allies that are assisting us, both inner and outer.

Today’s guest is one of my favorite’s. A fellow lover of truth, humanity, freedom, and the Hero’s Journey. Enjoy the interview.
