Time to put on your tinfoil hat. This episode I discuss some of the lore surrounding the Denver international airport and some very real precautions that people are taking in the event of a doomsday type event and the psychology behind it all.
Is there a bunker under the Denver Airport?
Maybe, maybe not. But Raven Rock and Mount Weather are completely real.
But why are we so obsessed with these doomsday scenarios? podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas…
The world has a backstage, and we are only ever seeing the performance. But how does the mind handle being left in the dark? We organize our anxiety into legible stories because stories give us agency. They give us a sense of control.

There’s a mushroom that makes almost every person who eats it see little people.
Scientists can’t identify what causes it.
But a 1,700 year old Daoist text can.
“Eat this raw and you will see a little person.”

When people hear "hallucinogenic mushroom," they usually picture classic psiløcyb!n varieties. Lanmaoa asiatica is sold as a regular wild edible...Most who eat it describe scenes that feel straight out of a storybook, tiny figures moving through their real surroundings.
They dance, march, tease, interact. For years, that belonged to the realm of colorful local lore. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas…
Analog horror, this lo-fi YouTube genre that was always about the horror of not being able to trust the signal, has the distinct misfortune, or the distinct genius, of arriving at exactly the moment when real life is starting to feel like analog horror open.substack.com/pub/psychs…
Something is wrong with the broadcast. New episode Tuesday…. Analog Horror Manufacturing Dread. The moment the format you trusted becomes the thing you should have been afraid of. #analoghorror #horror #darkpsychology
