  Sophus launches the podcast with a deep-dive into the human mind, this engine of chaos and expanse of possibility we all carry around inside us. The episode begins with a reminder—taken from, of all places, the British tax collection agency—to marvel at the clouds and allow ourselves to be stunned by volcanoes. And it ends with a walk through the woods of southern Italy, in the company of a dog and three Paleolithic teenagers. 
  Hosted and written by Sophus Helle  
  Sound editing by Simone Nystrup-Larsen 
  Edited by Andreas Lindinger Saxild

  Monkey Mind  
  Combining wit and wisdom, silliness and seriousness, the podcast Monkey Mind by Sophus Helle takes the audience on a weekly jaunt through the jungle of the mind. Each episode throws a new and unusual light on the issues of everyday life—trees, typos, taxes, and much more besides—making the audience look again at a world they thought they knew. It tells stories that are designed to make the listener chuckle, then reflect, drawn from both the host’s own life and from the deep well of history.  
  Sophus Helle is a writer, translator, and cultural historian. He is an expert in the Babylonian epic Gilgamesh and the ancient poet Enheduana.

  Hypnosis Psychosis and the...

  Have you ever wondered how your brain works, how it makes sense of what you hear and see? Many people do, but then shrug their shoulders and simply get on with using their brain. That's sad; they are missing such a lot! This book is full of fascinating facts and details about the senses, and also covers what happens when things 'go wrong', such as when someone hypnotised sees their friend in two places at once. It also covers more distressing errors, like the PTSD victim who vividly re-experiences their trauma, seeing, hearing and even smelling all the terrifying details again. However, through all these anecdotes and explanations, the book moves inexorably towards the most tantalising question of all: How do we know that we are seeing and hearing things? In these days of 'Alexa' we are familiar with machines that respond to speech, but they don't know that they are. They are merely a particularly sophisticated light switch! So, what do we have that Alexa doesn't? This book takes you on a truly fascinating journey of exploration, in search of the exotic entity that is consciousness.

  The Grammar of God - Why...

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. 
  Everything you can point to is a difference. Take away every distinction — every edge, every before and after, every this-rather-than-that — and there is nothing left over to be anything. 
   
  That is where this book begins. 
   
  What follows is a single argument, built in order, from the ground up. Each chapter rests on the one before it, and somewhere around the middle you may notice the early ones bearing weight they did not seem to be bearing at the time: that reality is made of difference; that difference has a structure nobody invented; that structure alone is inert and cannot make anything actual; and that actuality is enacted rather than described — always particular, and always from somewhere. 
   
  It uses the word God, and does not mean by it what you are probably expecting. It reaches that slowly, and names it only once the architecture can carry the weight. 
   
  Scattered through the chapters are moments that ask you to do something rather than consider something. Make a fist and open it. Look for the one who is looking. They take ten seconds, and they are not decoration — in several places the argument does not work unless you perform the thing and notice what happens. 
   
  Every position here is offered as the best fit available, never as a proof. Serious objections appear in their strongest form, in their own words. Where a question cannot be answered, the hole is left visible rather than filled. 
   
  Follow it to the end and you will have done something uncommon: taken a complete argument about the nature of reality all the way down to the place where the argument runs out — and looked at what is there.

  Six Interesting Facts about the Heart 
  1. Heart and circulatory diseases cause a quarter of all deaths in the UK, that’s more than 170,000 deaths each year – an average of 480 deaths each day or one every three minutes in the UK⁵. 
  2. There are around 7.6 million people living with a heart or circulatory disease in the UK: 4 million men and 3.6 million women⁵. 
  3. Coronary heart disease (CHD) is the most common type of heart disease. It is the most common cause of heart attack and was the single biggest killer of both men and women worldwide in 2019⁵. 
  4. In the US, heart disease is the leading cause of death for men, women, and people of most racial and ethnic groups¹. One person dies every 33 seconds in the United States from cardiovascular disease¹. 
  5. About 695,000 people in the United States died from heart disease in 2021—that’s 1 in every 5 deaths¹. 
  6. The most common type of heart disease in the USA is coronary artery disease (CAD), in which the major blood vessels to the heart become narrow or blocked with cholesterol and fatty build-up. CAD affects 18.2 million adults, and shockingly, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports that every two in ten deaths from CAD happen in people under 65 years old².

  Mysterious Ball Lightning - Also...

  Ball Lightning — one of nature’s most astonishing enigmas is a phenomena which definitely exists. One European study counted over 5,000 sightings that ignite both wonder and scientific curiosity of these weird balls. 
  It also seems to be similar to old tales of the “Will O the Wisp” and World War Two Foo Fighters. 
  St. Elmos Fire also has similar observations so data on this phenomenon that dazzles scientists, baffled yet intrigued and mystics alike are included too. 
  There are many potential explanations but none are confirmed. Although most seem to appear around thunderstorms this is not always the case. 
  My own belief is that these objects are controlled by some type of intelligence and we will discuss reasons for this later in the book. 
  In this book you will read a lot of background information and sightings that ignite both wonder and scientific curiosity stories by persons for the last hundreds of years. 
  This is just another mystery in our strange world which cries out for more investigation.
