Intro: taking input for Episode 23; what I consider evidence; being skeptical of information; portmanteaus
Main Course: Discussing the various aspects of fear as an emotion and tool; responding to some listener and viewner submitted fears; my own childhood story concerning the power of fear.
I didn’t get a chance to go over the educational side of fear or the various phobias, so in a couple months we’ll follow up with part 2.
In honor of you still being here with us, for enduring and persevering, I present you with my own homemade certificate of award for such a truly momentous achievement! Feel free to download, print and proudly display whichever version you prefer, or both!

Ephemeral Rift Podcast Episode 20 – “Synchronicity” or “Gaming PC Ban, Population Growth, Food, Jobs, Housing, Environment”
Taking input for Episode 21, Alexander von Humboldt, 4 first names, the paradox of society, population growth and its demands, speaking your mind, the importance of authenticity, what goes in must come out, you can’t take the jungle out of the animal, banning high-end gaming PC’s but not more serious issues, global data center power usage, poverty being a blemish on society, still trying to make sense of people, raised on sugar, the dairy industry, conscious choice or unconscious decision.
Ephemeral Rift Podcast Episode 19: Discussing the pseudoscience of cryptozoology and various cryptids (Bigfoot, Loch Ness Monster, etc.), the researchers, agendas, skeptics, hoaxes, sightings, and the overall lack of evidence.
