On Episode 140 of The TLB Podcast, James speaks with Skyler Mathis, host of The Philosophical Minds Podcast, for a deep dive into the intersections of philosophy, esotericism, and the unknown. Together, they examine the connections between aliens, nuclear energy, and AI, how ancient wisdom and modern technology mirror each other in today’s rapidly shifting world, alchemy, classified science, secret societies, and the ways these forces influence public perception and global politics, the rise of surveillance culture, humanity’s unfolding relationship with technology — and how long before consciousness itself is the next frontier of discovery.
