Summer Dreamworld Experience 2020

Certainly a summer night feels like a dream. In addition it sure feels like we’re in a dreamworld these days. Learn more in Summer-Dreamworld-Experience-2020-Bob Davis Podcast 942.

Fleeting Thoughts

Secondly my thoughts about life today are often fleeting and disjointed.

You Are Not Alone

Most importantly I don’t think I am alone in this feeling.

Freewheeling Talk

Time for a freewheeling talk podcast about this moment in time. Summer, 2020.

Crazy? Maybe Not!

Moreover for me it sometimes feels like a dream. I know I am not crazy but sometimes I feel like I am!

Like A Dream

In the same vein it’s hard for all of us to make sense of things or figure out where things are going. So all of this leads to a sense of worry that isn’t. Feelings of fear that aren’t. Above all wanting to take action but not being quite sure what action to take.

Not Quite Able To Get There

For instance, when we dream we often have a sense of moving toward an objective but not being able to reach it.

Perfect Summer

On the other hand we in the upper Midwest are living through probably one of the best summers in years.

Past Summers During Crises

Finally in view of the economic situation one wonders whether people really understood what was happening in the early stages of the Great Depression back in the early 1930’s.

Losing Control

They experienced it all in color. Like a dream. Events moving forward they couldn’t predict or control.

Good News Too

To sum up friends have told me recently they’re done with the news. Done with social media. Tired of arguing. Consequently there’s a renewed focus on the things closest to them. Family. Friends. Themselves.

Talk It Out

In conclusion in Summer-Dreamworld-Experience-2020-Bob Davis Podcast 942, it’s good to just talk it out.

Calm Before The Storm

In short enjoy the calm before the storm, or the Dream, while it lasts.

The-Vast-Night-Of-Fear-Bob Davis Podcast 937

Vast Night Of Fear and Peak Summer Days

Firstly these peak summer days make me reminisce. We’re going to do that and more in The-Vast-Night-Of-Fear-Bob Davis Podcast 937.

Lot On My Mind

Secondly done a lot of political podcasts this month. Time for an easy talker. No prep. Or plan. Just what’s on my mind.

Striking A Perfect Chord

To begin with I watched a movie the other night that really struck the perfect chord for the times we’re living through.

The Vast Of Night

Certainly you should check out The Vast of Night when you get the chance.

Anger Incubator

In the same vein I noticed a news story the other day that says America is an ‘Anger Incubator’. Even more it reminded me of a recent podcast this month which wondered whether we’re all delirious. You can hear it here.

Find out more in The-Vast-Night-Of-Fear-Bob Davis Podcast 937.

Is Fear The Root of Our Anger?

In addition rather than anger I submit America is really an incubator of fear right now. Fear is what drives the anger.

And this is why, for instance, The Vast of Night is so good.

Perfect Summer Days Are A Contrast

But on the other hand, when we hit one of these perfect summer days, it gives me some perspective. Even more it strikes me as strange that we’re living in caldron of fear and anger with the wind in the trees and the sound of cicadas.

Sounds, Smells and Sights of Summer

Even the sound of a train rolling through the neighborhood reminds me of times past. Similarly, the feel of burnt grass or warm asphalt under my bare feet

And the smells! Right after a thunderstorm. In the early morning hours.

Do We Control Outcomes?

Finally, I think our fears are related to the certainty we can’t control outcomes right now. Not even a little.

Embrace The Heat

In conclusion it’s a short summer in the upper Midwest. Embrace the heat. Sleep with the windows open. Get out in the vast night and capture a look at the stars. Share it with someone before the heat leaves us.

National-Delusion-Delirium-Pick-One-Bob Davis Podcast 933

Delusion Or Delirium. Pick One.

Certainly it feels like we’re living in a national delusion or we’re delirious. Pick One. Learn more in National-Delusion-Delirium-Pick-One-Bob Davis Podcast 933.

The Matrix?

Even more I might even forgive you for invoking The Matrix as a metaphor!

What Triggered This Podcast?

Firstly I don’t even remember the thought process that lead to this question.

Delusion and Delirium Defined

Secondly you can find the definitions for what Delusion is here, and for Delirium here.

A Confused and Disturbed Nation

Most importantly I think our country fits the bill for both right now.

Plenty Of Examples Worthy Of Your Attention

For example a pandemic triggered economic suicide worldwide, people climbing the walls in isolation, protests morphing into rioting and violence. In addition, ridiculous comments, outrageous explanations and mass confusion.

Our World Has Become Dali Work

Consequently I forgive the reader, listener and subscriber to bring up The Matrix. However I prefer Salvador Dali.

So, I’ll explain what I mean by a national delusion in National-Delusion-Delirium-Pick-One-Bob Davis Podcast 933.

Causes Of Our Acutely Disturbed Collective Mind

Moreover I’ll provide several examples of the potential cause of our acutely disturbed state of mind.

Social Media, Covid Psychosis, Propaganda and Conspiracy Theories

For instance, the peculiar Algorithms of social media. Or the real possibility Covid19 infections are less symptomatic and producing dangerous psychological reactions. And finally rapidly proliferating propaganda and conspiracy theories everywhere you look.

Our Worries

And If these aren’t enough to tip the scales, add to that our collective worry about our financial futures.

Don’t Look Now…

In conclusion a question and reference to the potential for a major financial meltdown.

Long Hot Summer

In short our ability to handle another major shock in this country is dependent on the clarity of our thinking. If we’re all delusional or delirious we’re in for a long hot summer.
