Welcome to The Electric Current Rundown podcast, episode number 31.

And I’m your host, Phil Defiance, and I’ll always say I’m here to encourage despite of intriguing knowledge, I can spark fires in the minds of those seeking inspiration and truly improving the world.

And what I’m gonna be talking about in this episode includes a continuation of where I left off on the topic of some medical breakthroughs of last year.

And then I’m gonna talk about my views on things in relation to the LA fires.

And then lastly, I’m gonna talk about why is the idea of gentle parenting so upsetting for other people.

So to continue on where I left off on the topic of some medical breakthroughs of last year.

Other than Alzheimer’s, another thing was in relation to asthma and conditions like chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases, also known as COPD.

And the thing is that, I mean, throughout like the last decade or couple decades, they’ve been injecting into people, I mean, sometimes, a thing called Benrelizumab.

And so, I mean, that stuff, I mean, they’ve been injecting it at low doses, and it’s been helping people, especially people that really have like worse case conditions of asthma and COPD.

But, I mean, more recently, like last year, they really went ahead and did some more testing with this stuff, Benrelizumab.

And they’ve been injecting it at higher doses in people, especially people that have like worst case conditions of conditions like that, like asthma and COPD.

And so, they’ve been finding really good results, actually.

I mean, if you got asthma or COPD, this could actually be really good news to you.

I mean, this could be promising.

This could really help some people.

I mean, especially if you got it, or if you know someone that’s got it.

But like, I mean, that’s really good news, because, I mean, that’s a pretty common thing.

I mean, asthma, I’ve known lots of people with asthma.

And I mean, even COPD is like similar to asthma, and I’m sure it’s somewhat common.

More common than you would think with a name like that, but I bet you it is at least somewhat common, and asthma is definitely common.

So, I mean, this type of stuff, I mean, the results of this research could actually help a lot of people.

So that’s actually very good news, similar to what I was talking about with Alzheimer’s in the last episode, the breakthroughs with that too.

But like, I mean, yeah, so that’s really promising when it comes to asthma and COPD.

But also, I mean, there’s other, I mean, a couple other things, like now they can detect prostate cancer just through saliva instead of DNA.

I mean, obviously, they gotta perfect it a little bit more, but they have now discovered that they can do this.

So, I mean, this could be a really good thing for people that got prostate cancer, because, of course, a lot of people know that when it comes to cancer, the earlier you catch it, the better for you, the higher odds that you survive and you don’t die or end up in worst case situations, even if you don’t die.

I mean, obviously, the earlier you catch it, the better.

So, I mean, just by detecting it through saliva is actually a really promising breakthrough, too.

I mean, that’s very impressive.

So, it’s really good news to know that they’ve been able to do that, too, instead of just through DNA.

So, that’s really promising, too.

But also, another thing was something like a yoga pill.

Like, I mean, you know, yoga, like, it’s like a meditative state.

A lot of people would like to be able to get into that type of meditative state.

I mean, not just, you know, with the stretching and all that.

I’m talking about the meditative state side of it.

So like a pill.

They created a pill that could actually put you into that kind of mind state.

And I’m not sure if that’s really a great thing, but it could be.

I’m going to finish off on a topic, though, in a sec after this quick break.

So, on this break, I’m going to say, plain, bold clothing, live life to the fullest.

What happened the last time you went to a party?

Well, on a great adventure, you’ll be the life of the party with clothing like our authentic plain goose items.

You’ll get exuberant designs you’ll need.

We usually have some sales, so you can save money, too.

Be like a goose on a plane on a flight to a great adventure.

Go to plainbold.com.

That’s plain, like airplane, plainbold.com.

So, I mean, yeah, I mean, you never know.

Like, I mean, a meditative state, that’s like in the brain, right?

It’s a pill that can alter your brain.

So, I mean, maybe it’s actually not that great of an idea, but I mean, let’s see where it goes.

Like, it could actually potentially be good, but who knows?

It might not be that great.

And the last thing that I read in that article about medical breakthroughs of last year was cancer, mRNA type injections that could cure cancer.

I already told you last week what I really think about mRNA vaccines, like, you know, like with COVID.

And if you missed that episode, you’ll go ahead and go back three episodes and you’ll see it.

But either way, I mean, that stuff’s like, like COVID vaccines are, I mean, I’m not the first one that said this.

So like, I’m sure you probably have heard similar things from other people too.

But I mean, COVID vaccines are giving people heart attacks and strokes and killing people.

Well, I mean, if they’re gonna do mRNA cancer vaccines, that’s definitely not a good idea either.

I mean, that sounds very dangerous.

So I mean, if you’re ever offered in the future an mRNA vaccine, it doesn’t matter if it’s COVID.

It could be something else.

It could be flu.

It could be cancer.

It could be something else too.

Just say no, because you know that that stuff’s bad for people.

So that one, that breakthrough of last year definitely is something that I found to be bad.

But I had to point it out too, because I read it in an article.

But either way, so now I’m switching topics on to my views on things in relation to the LA fires.

I mean, LA is a historic city.

It’s the third largest city on the whole continent.

I mean, it’s a beautiful city.

I mean, at the same time, I mean, it’s got an evil element to it, like in connection to Hollywood and all that pedophile stuff.

I mean, yeah, that’s true.

But still, I mean, it’s not like everyone in LA has been a bad person, and there’s plenty of good people in LA, or war, since a lot of people had to move out due to the fires.

I mean, it’s craziness.

That’s the city.

It’s like a travesty, just thinking about it.

Like that city on fire.

That’s a beautiful city.

I mean, overall, it’s like crazy.

And then, like, there’s evidence that homeless people, or general arsonists, like homeless arsonists, as well as general arsonists, are the ones that are creating these fires.

Like, I mean, I’ve seen footage of it.

I mean, it seems like a concerted effort too.

Like, I mean, these fires are like jumping several miles, literally.

Like, that’s not natural.

That’s not from winds.

Winds can’t travel a fire several miles.

Clearly, this is arsonists doing it.

So, I mean, it’s like obviously a concerted effort.

And when you think about that, I mean, if it’s a concerted effort, like, there must be, like, some kind of central source directing these people to do it.

I mean, it’s the only thing that makes sense.

I mean, how is it that all at the same time, during the same, like, few weeks or month or so, like, arsonists are creating random fires across the city and they already are aware that there’s already been huge fires and now they’re continuing it.

I mean, there’s no way that this is just random arsonists, whether it’s homeless or just general arsonists.

There’s no way that this is random.

There’s obviously a concerted effort here.

And, like, it just makes you wonder, like, where are they getting the idea to do this?

I mean, because the city of LA, like, up till, like, recently, like, I mean, just recently, it was maybe, like, about in the last five years.

They announced plans to do what they call a smart city.

And also, there’s the fact that LA has the Olympics coming up.

I mean, they just got that, like, recently, like, a few years ago, right?

And now, so, they’re preparing the city for the Olympics, and they want to turn it into a smart city.

And so, like, I mean, it’s the perfect situation.

Even Governor Gavin Newsom has said that now, in the situation with LA being burnt down, now the city can rebuild smarter.

He said something along those lines.

And see, I mean, that, too, that’s, like, in direct connection to the concept or even the name of smart city, right?

But either way, I’m going to finish up on that topic and switch topics as I finish off the episode right after this quick break.

Okay, so on this break, I’m going to say, we all love good workouts.

Look good wearing a quality gym shirt from plainbowl.com.

Your workouts will be less effort since you’ll feel great, leading to less time spent, and you’ll see less risks.

You’ll be that guy everyone wants to befriend.

So get clothing like that, and you’ll look good at the gym.

Go to plainbowl.com to get that.

That’s Plain, like Airplane, plainbowl.com.

But either way, so to finish off on that topic, I mean, there’s even a map in the 90s that shows like no-go zones for the continent of North America that they were trying to implement up till today.

And like, I mean, they’re behind on schedule, but like, I mean, there’s definitely a connection to that, or I mean, that’s an element that you got to think about too.

But either way, I mean, smart cities, like, that’s got to be a reasoning behind this concerted effort.

I mean, it must be a concerted effort, because these fires are just, they can’t just be random.

But, I mean, regardless, there’s also other factors, like the fact that the water basins in the LA area have been drained.

The firefighters are not getting water for their hoses to put out the fires.

There’s lots of evidence of that, and that just makes you wonder, like, why would they…

I mean, it’s like the perfect timing, the perfect situation for this situation to happen.

It’s like a whole…

I mean, these kinds of events just, like, stacked up together to form this perfect condition for this situation.

And, I mean, another factor is clearing at the butt…

the brush in the city of LA and the area.

I mean, they’re not clearing it out.

And that’s like giving food for the fire.

I mean, it should have been cleared out, and then these fires wouldn’t be able to burn so easily.

So, I mean, that’s also in connection to Governor Gavin Newsom, both things, the water basins as well as the brushes that should have been cleared, and also even Mayor Karen Bass.

I mean, it’s all in connection to these officials, like the mayor and the governor of the state.

I mean, this is a…

I mean, you could even go another angle and say, I mean, incompetence.

So if there is no nefarious means, even still, the incompetence going on over there is ridiculous.

And it just goes to show you the…

I mean, what type of situation happens when you let liberals run everything?

So I mean, all of it is just ridiculous.

And it’s a travesty what’s going on.

But okay, so now I gotta switch topics as I finish off the episode.

So okay, on this last topic, I’m gonna be talking about why is the idea of gentle parenting so upsetting for other people?

So what is gentle parenting anyway?

I mean, so like, like you may have seen it.

I mean, when you’re at a store or something like that, and a parent seems to be really, I mean, their kid’s acting up, going crazy.

And like the parents, like what’s, what are they doing?

I mean, they’re not disciplining him or her.

They’re like letting the kid go crazy.

And, you know, I mean, there’s different types of parenting.

So of course, I mean, that’s what I’m getting at.

There’s misconceptions.

I mean, I read this article, and it actually makes a lot of sense.

I mean, there’s a misconception going on, because of course, I mean, there’s different kinds of parenting.

I mean, there’s like really strict, like where you’re really, really strict on your child.

That’s one extreme, right?

I mean, generally, right?

I mean, to put it in general terms.

But then on the other extreme, you got like parents that are extremely nice to their children.

They let their children do whatever the heck they want.

And that’s the other extreme.

But what is gentle parenting, though?

I mean, a lot of that’s what I’m talking about.

A misconception going on.

Because when people see parents doing gentle parenting to their child, they immediately think that they’re doing that stupid form of parenting where they let their kid literally do anything with no discipline at all.

And yeah, that’s ridiculous.

I mean, you can’t train.

You can’t raise a child like that.

That’s absurd.

I mean, you’re going to turn that kid into a really messed up child.

Like, that’s not no way to parent a child.

But gentle parenting is something in between those two extremes, actually, because I mean, when you see, I mean, that’s the funny thing about it, too, because like when you see that happening at a store, when a parent doesn’t seem to discipline the child, it could be one or the other.

It could be that extreme where he’s just letting the kid do whatever he wants, period.

Or it could be the other one, which is gentle parenting.

And so, I mean, don’t be so quick to judge, because that parent could actually be doing gentle parenting.

And what it really is about is a mixture of being like disciplinary on the child, but also being nice to the child, like creating a balance.

And actually, some studies have shown that gentle parenting especially can be effective on teenagers, and you can, I mean, you don’t have to, like, do it throughout the whole childhood.

You could introduce the approach later on, too.

So, I mean, maybe if you got a teenager and you used to be different, maybe you could switch into the strategy.

That’s also an option.

I mean, maybe you could look into it.

So, that’s actually a possibility.

I mean, just look it up.

But it could, I mean, this strategy can be beneficial to some children or some teenagers.

So, I mean, you might as well look into it.

But, like, I mean, the whole concept is to, like, be disciplinary but also understanding, like, showing the child some respect while also having a strict side.

So, I mean, like, balancing it out.

But, like, I mean, I’m basically done on this episode.

So, I mean, if you find the idea to be interesting, maybe you should look further into it because it could actually be a good parenting strategy.

I mean, as I said, you don’t have to do it from when they were a young toddler.

You could introduce the strategy when they’re a teenager.

If you like the idea, then give it a try.

But either way, that’s the end of this episode, episode 31 of The Electric Current Rundown with me, your host, Phil Defiance.

And I’ll always say, I’m here to encourage the spread of intriguing knowledge that can spark fires in the minds of those seeking inspiration and truly improving the world.

Well, till next time, have a good one.
