I’m Chase Hughes. I’ve spent most of my life studying people — not the cute, Instagram version of “behavior,” the real stuff:
the fear under the confidence,
the lies we tell ourselves to get through the day,
the patterns we don’t even know we’re running.
I’ve worked with the kind of truths that don’t make the sweater-vest TED Talks, the kind that make you sit alone in your car afterward for a few minutes, staring at your hands.
I used to think the goal was mastery. Control. Influence.
Now I think it’s something quieter:
seeing clearly,
without flinching, and
maybe helping someone else see clearly too, without getting swallowed by noise.
I write books for people who are starting to unzip the costume -- and some who have stripped it off., people who want to understand others, but also want to understand the thing inside themselves that keeps steering their life when they’re not looking.
If you’re here, you’re probably one of those people. Good. We need more of you.

UN Weapons Inspector, US Marine Corps Officer Scott Ritter EXPOSES terrifying truth about Israel
(Navy Media) VERENIGDE STATEN. This is an eye-opening exploration. UN Weapons Inspector and US Marine Corps Officer Scott Ritter reveals shocking truths about Israel's war on the civilians of Gaza (where there is or was a Hamas) and the West Bank (where there is not now nor previously a Hamas).
This video delves into the complex dynamics of trying to survive as a child, woman, or civilian in the Gaza Strip, Israeli security setbacks, and the intricate geopolitics shaping the rise of the political party known as Hamas, which was propped up and funded by PM Netanyahu because he was sure he could control it.
Muslim analyzes the situation
NM uncovers the unintended consequences of Israel's genocidal strategies, the intense PLO vs. Hamas conflict, and the escalating tensions between Israel and its neighbor Iran.
Witness how these events intertwine with US strategies in the Middle East and contemplate the future of this volatile region.

The West has not thought Israel's War on Gaza through, with Dr. Haitham al-Haddad
(Islam21c) Oct. 26, 2023: At a time when the world is engrossed in the Israeli war on Gaza, Shaykh [Sheikh] Dr. Haitham al-Haddad provides a much-needed analysis on the state of affairs apart from Israeli disinformation and propaganda.
In this week's Islamic Thought video by Islam21c, Shaykh Haitham delves into a variety of topics including the strategic miscalculations made by the West, the role of the Muslim Ummah, and the broader implications for global order and justice.
Key Takeaways
1️⃣ Israel has already lost its war: Shaykh Haitham evaluates the state of Israel's military efforts, scrutinizing the nation's failure to secure a decisive victory despite superior firepower.
2️⃣ The future of the conflict: An incisive look at where this enduring struggle is heading, considering factors such as international law, geopolitical alliances, and the role of global superpowers.
3️⃣ Existence is resistance: The very existence of Palestinians stands as a form of resistance against the occupation. Shaykh Haitham discusses how, even in the event of an Israeli "win," the nation would find itself isolated, its actions standing in stark opposition to the values of justice and human rights and perceived as respecting neither by the [2 billion strong] Muslim world.
4️⃣ A clash of civilizations? This conflict has far-reaching implications and is increasingly perceived in the Muslim world as a struggle between Western powers and Muslims. The West's selective application of justice has only served to fuel this perception.
5️⃣ A crisis within the Ummah: Shaykh Haitham criticizes Muslim political leaders, arguing that they have failed to represent the Ummah effectively, instead opting to suppress it from within.

New scientific discovery: Humans can see sound (story below).
The book Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance (overview) by Robert Pirsig holds out as one of its central premises that it is possible to flow effortlessly, to become natural and childlike (Zen mind/Beginner's mind) in every action. Zen, in terms of the art of archery, speaks of the possibility of developing enough skill to hit a bulls-eye in the dark.
Is it literally possible to "flow" and "feel" one's way in the dark -- or is it only a metaphor? The following artist (blind from birth) is turning brain science on its head, suggesting that Zen was being literally all along. And a new neuroscience study seems to confirm it.
Turkey's Esref Armagan is a blind painter who does the impossible.
Scientists Say We Can See Sound Robin Nixon (LiveScience, 8/18/08)

Turning conventional neuroscience on its head, new research suggests the human visual system processes sound and helps us see.
Here are the basics of what was Neuroscience 101: The auditory system records sound, while the visual system focuses on visuals, and never do they meet. Instead, a "higher cognitive" producer, like the brain's superior colliculus, uses these separate inputs to create our cinematic experiences.
The textbook rewrite: The brain can, if it must, directly use sound to see and light to hear. The study was published last week in the journal BMC Neuroscience. More >>
Extra-sensory power? The discovery is likely un-related to the rare experience of synesthesia, a bizarre condition experienced by a few people who can feel, hear and taste colors. In synesthesia, for example, more complicated sensations combine at later stages of brain processing, so that just the mention of a color, a letter, or a shape can automatically trigger the perception of a certain note.
