5 min read

Mayim Bialik and Jonathan Cohen sat down with their Substack community to go deeper on two very different recent episodes that, it turns out, share a common thread: the question of what it means to access information—whether from outside ourselves or from within. The first conversation, with neuroscientist Dr. Julia Mossbridge, explored whether the mind can receive information it does not already possess—remote viewing, precognition, and the nature of consciousness. The second, with author and professor Scott Galloway, examined what happens when men lose the ability to connect emotionally and retreat into digital numbing. The throughline, as the hosts see it, is about what we are willing to be open to—and what happens when we close ourselves off.

Show Notes

Today we’re sharing something special that was previously only available over on our Substack page! Mayim and Jonathan lead the Breaker community in an inquiry into the nature of knowing, experiencing, and being. They discuss two of our most recent episodes: the neuroscientific mysteries and shocking disclosure of lead “Telepathy Tapes” scientist, Dr. Julia Mossbridge as well as the social “five-alarm fire” plaguing men, as tackled by Scott Galloway.

In This Live:

- Mayim tries Remote Viewing: We go behind the scenes of the Remote Viewing exercise from the Dr. Mossbridge episode, with Mayim explaining her attempts to quiet her analytical, scientific mind in order to access a non-linear, intuitive state. Dr. Mossbridge suggests that we are all capable of accessing untapped cognitive ability with the goal of expanding our intuitive senses and making connections we’ve been trained to ignore.

- A Missing History & Covert Operations? Dr. Mossbridge discusses her recent book which led her to reveal childhood memories of being tested in elementary school while given a “pink drink” as well as evidence of redacted records from that time. The Breaker community shares that they have similar memories of school testing in the 1970s - are these related?!

- The “Yes-Bot” and the Numbing Trap: Scott Galloway rang a “five-alarm fire” with his recent book, Notes On Being A Man, and Mayim and Jonathan discuss how women are paying the price for a generation of men who numb out through video games, pornography, gambling apps, and “Yes-Bots.” With two-thirds of men under 18 currently in a “relationship” with an AI entity, we explore how this can stunt emotional development and the impact men numbing out has on all of us.

As always, the Breaker community brings a vibrant and enthusiastic set of questions, as well as a growing sense of getting to know Mayim and Jonathan - and each other - better through these discussions. We are so happy Dr. Mossbridge and Scott’s episodes engendered such a lively - and hilarious - conversation!
