The healing power of fitness goes far beyond physical benefits—for today’s guest, it’s a form of self-expression and a celebration of what the body can do. In this episode, host Nora McInerny sits down with fitness personality Ivylis Rivera, who shares her deeply personal journey of navigating life with Chronic Migraine while holding onto her passion for movement. Ivylis opens up about the struggle of staying active while facing the fear of triggering a headache or migraine attack and the resilience it takes to keep pushing forward—a resilience that carried her through the challenging journey of finding a Chronic Migraine treatment plan that worked for her. Join Nora and Ivylis as they explore the concept of “soft living,” a philosophy Ivylis embraces—staying active, listening to your body, and building trust in oneself.

We explore addiction-based society, loneliness, conformity, and how the internet can help us escape our social boxes. In this episode, I also bring up some of my own personal experiences and how this shaped my life. This episode led to more interesting tangents than I expected so I'll likely do such brainstorms again!

42. The Psychology of Madoka Magica: Sayaka's Insanity 25:29

25:29

A depressed Psychology Bachelors gives some takes and reviews the artistic awesomeness that is Madoka Magica with a focus on Sayaka, who seems to be the most relatable character (for me). I created the backing music. You can listen to those tracks free at the links below. This goes pretty deep into my own backstory, hitting some intense topics. Prepare yourself for the journey! Good luck.

40. Can Good Ethical Theories Be Infohazards? 45:37

3 years ago45:37

45:37

I've been wondering if ethical theories can be dangerous. Not because of the implications of the theory, but because of the way that discovering a new ethical idea puts you at odds with everyone else. Discovering a new ethical idea often challenges people's choices, which makes you a threat to their ways of life. http://www.twitter.com/BasicMorality http://mad.science.blog…

Contagious Empathy Failure as a Product of Circumstance [Clips] 10:43

3 years ago10:43

10:43

How toxic rich business owners might resemble school shooters. This clip is from episode 28 with guest Kevin Ronca. This clip seems straightforward and useful for understanding political conflict and low empathy behaviors. I'm considering doing short and sweet clips of key points from longer episodes as a trend. What do you think? http://mad.science.blog http://www.twitter.com/BasicMorality…

39. The Priest and The Scientist 22:28

3 years ago22:28

22:28

An exploration of how those with schizophrenia may think differently than "ordinary" people. It is argued that ordinary people are delusional as well and this isn't the distinguishing factor. Ordinary people do not create beliefs in science or religion but instead, consume these ideas from those around them. The schizophrenic may either fail to conform or create their own beliefs/hypotheses. Though, it is more complex than this. http://www.twitter.com/BasicMorality https://mad.science.blog/ Find the song at the end: https://soundcloud.com/cosmicrush/screaming-echoes…

38. Reciprocal Sociality 46:14

46:14

Reciprocal sociality is about how our behaviors are often mirrored with each other, particularly in the sense of prosocial and antisocial behavior. Awareness of this is useful for managing social conflicts.

37. Ego Death as the Abolition of Conditioned Responses 2:29:45

4 years ago2:29:45

2:29:45

There is a quite lengthy description of one of the cooler ideas explored in this episode below. Some links first: If you'd like to support these projects and help me continue making more: https://www.patreon.com/qwerkyscience My Twitter is here: https://twitter.com/BasicMorality I think the main effect of interest with psychedelics could be disruption of conditioned responses which might allow new conditioning to override established responses. In some sense, this is sort of what I think REBUS is proposing underneath it all. I think even the effects on perception, attention, and cognition are from destabilizing conditioned responses and allowing us to observe the world and use our mind in ways that we have been conditioned to not do. We fear ego death in waking life because the ego is partly developed through avoidance of the things we fear. Lacking this puts us in confrontation with those fears and ego death strips us of our habitual coping strategies to solve our fears. One example would be learning to put on a social mask to avoid the fear of being harmed socially. During the come up on psychedelics, our learned social behavioral responses may disappear and we feel naked, while our conditioned fears that tell us to be socially afraid still remain. At super high doses, we might blockout even the conditioned response to fear social situations. This can allow us to observe that we had such a conditioned mindset and that alternative ways of existing are out there. A life where we are not clinging to the habitual way of seeing and behaving. It’s like fear forces us into a box of limited behaviors and perceptions and sometimes this brings us misery. Like an addict who fears the withdrawals. Like those with PTSD who fear engaging with their triggers/cues.…
