And Another Thing With Dave, by David Smith

In this explosive solo episode, host David Smith brings listeners an urgent report sparked by a jaw-dropping clip from the World Economic Forum. After stumbling upon a chilling Instagram post shared by @chad.d.bell, Dave reacts in real time to a speech by a woman casually discussing implanting false memories and manipulating pain for use in law enforcement.

Yes, you read that right.

The woman, speaking to a global audience at the WEF, describes research into planting criminal memories into innocent people’s minds and exploring pain as an electrical circuit that could be induced and weaponized for coercion. Dave lets the clip play, then breaks it down section by section—unpacking its disturbing implications for democracy, civil liberties, and the potential abuse of neuroscience by state actors.

From comparing it to dystopian sci-fi, to calling out the echoes of dark historical chapters, Dave pulls no punches. This is not just a podcast episode—it’s a call to wake up and pay attention to what’s being said out loud, in the open, and on global stages.

And Another Thing With Dave, by Dave Smith

Host: David Smith
Guest: Spirited Journey

In this introspective and energizing episode, Dave and returning guest Spirited Journey dive into the emerging renaissance in psychology—fueled by the return of serious studies on psychedelics like LSD, psilocybin, and ketamine. The duo explores how these substances are not only reshaping our understanding of mental health, but also how ancient and alternative methods like holotropic breathwork may hold just as much power for healing and transformation.

Spirited Journey shares personal stories of out-of-body experiences through breathwork, inspired by Dr. Stanislav Grof’s techniques. The conversation evolves into a powerful reflection on vulnerability, spiritual experiences, and how science is beginning to catch up to what shamans and spiritual healers have practiced for millennia.

Listeners chime in with messages on safe spaces, gender identity, and how to best support marginalized communities while still advocating for human rights universally. Spirited also gives a shoutout to her freelance branding and website work, including her project "YouTube Channel in a Box"—designed to empower content creators with full branding packages.

And Another Thing With Dave, by David Smith

Host: David Smith
Guest: Spirited Journey
Episode Title: #436 Ideology in Psychology, Parental Rights, and the Limits of Institutional Power

In this powerful and intellectually charged episode, David Smith and Spirited Journey explore the intersection of politics, mental health, gender identity, and institutional authority through the lens of a major study: Political Diversity in Social and Personality Psychology by Joel Inbar and Joris Lammers.

The conversation opens with a breakdown of the study’s core questions:

1. How left-leaning are social and personality psychologists?

2. Do they accurately perceive the political leanings of their colleagues?

3. Is there a hostile climate or discrimination against conservatives in the field?

David and Spirited Journey reflect on how these ideological imbalances can shape what research gets funded, what ideas are allowed to flourish, and who is deemed credible in the conversation around gender identity and mental health. They highlight that ideological bias in psychology isn’t just an academic concern—it’s impacting real-world policy and shaping narratives in schools, healthcare, and media.

The discussion is elevated by listener messages, including questions about abuse, acceptance, and how to balance protecting vulnerable youth with maintaining institutional accountability. Real-life case studies, including disturbing stories of early medical interventions gone wrong, ground the conversation in hard-hitting truth.

The CIA's Domestic Spying

• The CIA monitored Mexican-American and Puerto Rican activists fighting for social justice causes including equal education, honoring Martin Luther King Jr., and against police brutality and the Vietnam War.
• The documents released cover the period from 1968 to 1983 and show the agency's view of these activists' work as threats.
• Targets included Denver-based activist Rodolfo Corky Gonzalez, farm worker union leader Cesar Chavez, and Mexican American student activists.
• The documents reveal the CIA's use of undercover agents to infiltrate student groups.

Discussion

• The episode host expresses concerns about the legality of the CIA's domestic surveillance activities.
• Connections are drawn between the CIA's surveillance of Latino activists and Operation Cointelpro, a program targeting leftist groups in the US.
• The host criticizes the CIA's actions and calls for more transparency from the government.

Key Figures

• Rodolfo Corky Gonzalez - Leader of the Chicano movement
• Cesar Chavez - Farm worker union leader
• William J. Burns - CIA Director

And Another Thing With Dave, by Dave Smith

Host: David Smith
Guest: Spirited Journey

In this compelling follow-up conversation, David Smith and Spirited Journey tackle the layered and controversial issues surrounding gender identity, medical ethics, and parental involvement. The episode explores the real-world implications of schools using and withholding students' preferred pronouns from parents, and how that might relate to a broader “slippery slope” involving medical decisions like puberty blockers.

The conversation draws parallels with long-standing debates, such as minors accessing birth control without parental consent. However, as David and Spirited Journey emphasize, the stakes are arguably higher when it comes to irreversible medical interventions. They critique the lack of long-term studies on puberty blockers and challenge the idea that these treatments are always “completely reversible.”

Listener messages add depth and nuance, offering perspectives on conversion therapy, parental roles, and the consequences of institutional overreach. One listener raises a poignant scenario involving interracial relationships and parental prejudice, asking where schools should draw the line in protecting or informing parents.

David and Spirited Journey also dive into the politics of academia, referencing research showing open discrimination against conservatives in psychology, and how ideological bias may shape the type of research that gets funded and published. The episode closes with case studies illustrating the real-world consequences of medical decisions made too early, too quickly, and possibly under pressure from societal norms.

🎙️ And Another Thing With Dave

Host: David Smith
Guest: Spirited Journey

In this thought-provoking episode, David Smith welcomes Spirited Journey for a wide-ranging discussion about political bias in academic research, particularly in psychology, and how it affects the quality and diversity of published work. David reads and reflects on a paper titled "Political Diversity in Social and Personality Psychology" by Joel Inbar and Joris Lammers, revealing alarming statistics about the underrepresentation of conservative voices in the field and the real fear of professional discrimination.

The conversation then transitions into how these biases influence topics like affirmative care in gender medicine. David and Spirited Journey critique the over-reliance on a small number of studies promoting gender-affirmative care, noting a lack of longitudinal research and critical evaluation. They also touch on the controversial role of parental involvement in youth care, echoing concerns about schools potentially withholding important information from parents.

Listener messages, including a heartfelt one from Miss Smitty, add powerful real-life perspectives to the conversation about parental trust, responsibility, and transparency in education and healthcare decisions.
