In this thought-provoking episode of AMERICAPLUS, host Cole McCormick delves into the intriguing intersection of biology, spirituality, and the concept of God. Cole explores the idea that humans may have a biological connection to the divine. He shares a poignant dream about his late father, which sparked a deeper inquiry into the nature of faith, love, and the narratives that shape our understanding of life. Through the lens of Gregg Braden's book "Pure Human," Cole discusses the potential of DNA as an antenna to the spiritual realm and the implications of brain-heart coherence on our physical and spiritual well-being.

Is there a biological connection to God? What's up, everyone? It's America Plus. I'm your host, Cole McCormick. It's another week of another episode. What's going on, everybody? I'm gonna be here. It's Sunday, five twenty three in the PM, y'all. What a beautiful day to be alive. I'm coming to you after the beach. I just did a great beach workout. I'm feeling really fresh, really good, and, I'm just in good vibes, dude. I didn't get in the waves because I still think the beach is, like, contaminated from the fires. Just all the sludge from the Malibu fire is just, like, into the ocean. And now, like, all the burnt wood is on the beach, and I don't wanna be a part of it. I don't wanna be around there at all.
But I do wanna be here at America Plus, y'all. I'm happy to, I'm just in good vibes. I had a great workout. I was in the sun. It was one of those, like, solo workouts. So it was just it was just good, dude. You know? Have you ever been in, like, a good vibe like that? This episode was really important to me. Okay? I think this might be one of the most important episodes that I've ever put on, because this is going into something that I think bridges the gap between religion and science. It it it doesn't just bridge the gap between those two things. It it transcends. I seek to transcend the narratives of religion and science with this podcast episode.
Okay? That's where we're at right now. That's why you're listening to America Plus. I believe I have a hunch that we have a biological connection to God. Okay? There's a few different things that I'm gonna go into that is going to I I I'm not trying to prove this. What I am trying to do is get this idea out there, push this idea a bit more. And if you're thinking similarly, then please engage with this because I think it's really important. So first of all, so why do I think this? I started thinking this, around the time a little bit before my dad had cancer. Just like this, like, general thought, like, like, what is what is belief in God? What is this thing that we call faith? What is this thing that we call life? Like, what is this? Like, the narratives that are surrounding us within Christianity, and Islam, and Judaism, and science, and Buddhism and, Hinduism and Scientology and, you know, pick your religion. Pick your thing, dude.
All these things, they have, like, aspects. Like, there might be one truth. There might be some truths, that are that are true. But at the same time, none of them is, like, a complete umbrella for the entire cahona cahoning of life. And, what I aim to do what I'm the path I've been on is I think we can really figure that out. I think there can be one big narrative. I think there is a true narrative to life. And what's necessary to think about this is, our body, I think. And what I wanna share I have a story that I wanna share that sort of brings the emotion and and and and brings the clarity into this. So so my most recent trauma okay. So I my dad died. Right?
After my dad died, eight months ago, after my dad died, I had this insane dream. And I forget if I've shared this before in the podcast, but if I haven't, you're hearing it again. So I I I had this super intense dream where I was in my home, and I was in my childhood home, and I saw my dad, how I had, like, remembered him. You know? Like, I remembered him when he was, like, like he's, like, in his mid thirties, and that's how old he was when I was a young kid. And so I'm I'm seeing the, like, the prime version of my dad.
And, you know, this is, you know, this is just like six weeks after he passed, and, you know, very heavy grief. And in the dream, he's sitting on the couch, and I go over to him, and I sit next to him. And I look at him, and I'm seeing him smile at me. And it was, like, pure love. Like like, I saw, like, love, and I was missing him, and I was, like the emotion was so raw in this dream. And I look at him, and I go, I just wanna feel you touch my back. I just wanna feel you touch me. And, I sort of, like, laid on my stomach on the couch, and I felt my dad's hand touch my back.
But as soon as he touched my back, I felt electricity shocking me. I felt literal electricity in my back. I've and I felt my back spasming. And in the dream, I'm like I'm like shaking and I'm like twitching. Like, my back is like, like, it's it's seriously twitching. I'm having muscle spasms in my dream. And and then I start, like, dry heaving. And then the next thing I know, I'm waking up in reality, and I'm dry heaving. I'm like, and my back is spasming in real life. I'm literally having back spasms on earth after this dream, and and the back spasms didn't stop for, like, another, like, five minutes.
And I had to, like, I was, like, coming to terms. I was, like, I was, like, coming to. I was, like, what the fuck? What the fuck is going on? Like, I didn't know I didn't know what was happening. And I knew but I knew it was intense. And I I I knew what I had experienced was real. I I experienced something super real in that moment. And, that leads me to continue thinking of, like, what what did my body go through? My dad's dead, and I have this dream. And the only way that I can perceive this is I had a physical contact with a spirit.
And this is not to go into Ouija boards or, like, summoning spirits. You know, like, I'm not trying to get paranormal, even though this story is pretty spooky. But I had physical contact with a spirit. You know, my dad's spirit. This is something that I firmly believe. And, this goes into the question of, like, what is our connection to God? Okay? And do we have a physical connection? Is there a physical connection to God? I grew up Christian, and so the only connection that Christians have to God is through the blood of Jesus. And this is a narrative that I have come to terms with not accepting.
I believe Christianity has I I think when it comes to Christianity, like, I'm not even Christian. I I'm I'm only following the advice of Jesus. I'm only following the teachings of Jesus, and I don't believe Jesus taught that he was here to die for me. You know, that's that's a blood ritual. I don't think Jesus believed in blood rituals. I think Jesus was, you know it's pretty clear what he was teaching. He was teaching about peace and love, and and he was teaching about, you know, his greatest commandment is love the lord your god with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength.
And when you think about that, and I'm thinking about this. Right? Like, throughout my life. When you think about that, love the lord your god with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength. Okay? How many of those things are based on your physical presence and your real biology? Love the Lord with your heart, that's biological. Heart, soul okay. Soul is a little like spiritual, a little like airy fairy. Mind, your mind is physical. Strength, and your strength is physical. So three out of those four is physical reality, and one of them is your spirit side. Okay?
And I'm trying to go into, like, the spirit side, like, there has to be a connection to the spiritual side through the physical. Okay? And, most recently, I've been reading the book. I sort of talked about it last week. I, I brought it up briefly. I'm reading this new book, by this author named Gregg Braden. Gregg Braden, he's one of these guys who's been talking for he's been talking for decades about this sort of thing, about about manifestation, about the book of Thomas, about prayer, just about about these types of topics. Okay? And his newest book that came out in January 2025, called Pure Human, this book is getting into topics that are surrounding, like, what it what does it mean to be pure human?
What does it mean to be a human? And this is in juxtaposition of what is happening in the in in the current time of, technology and AI, and this concept of transhumanism. There's some people who think that we are going to give ourselves to technology. We're going to give our entire human experience to a brain chip and to artificial intelligence. And, no matter if that's, like, happening right now or happening later in the future, you know, we got Neuralink. You know, Elon Musk's Neuralink is real. Brains interacting with computers is real. And, a lot of people in the scientific field, they think that our consciousness can be uploaded. There's so many movies about this. There's so many stories about our consciousness being into some matrix.
Our consciousness is hooked up to some, you know, to some algorithm, to some computer. Okay? And, on the spiritual side, when it comes to this idea of a biological connection to God, if you don't believe in that, okay, that's okay. We're just talking about it. But on the flip side of that spirit side, on the technological side, science believes that you can upload, which is a physical thing. You gotta plug something in. You gotta plug in your brain to a computer for your consciousness to transfer. So the scientific side believes in that. And I'm trying to discuss the spiritual side of that, the spirit and biological side. I think that we already have this physical connection.
And this physical connection is our DNA. That like, that's what it is. Like, long story short, our physical connection to God is DNA. And, there's a lot of things going on with our DNA that science does not have a clear answer on. Okay? Specifically, you know, I I shouldn't say specifically. Broadly speaking, the story of evolution and humanity. Okay? I'm not an evolution denier, but when it comes to the story of how humans progressed on Earth, there's a lot of things that just, like, happened pretty lickety split, dude. Like, things just freaking happened two hundred thousand years ago. All of a sudden, two hundred thousand years ago, humans had art and language and society, and somehow, we just we had things. Like, we were just living.
We were living large. And science has like, they have theories. Right? And, a lot of people in, like, the in, like, the spiritual realm, the u the the UAP, the UFO realm, they wanna say that there is some sport some sort of, seeding, some sort of DNA upgrade, you know? And that's an idea that I'm, that I'm leaning into. Okay? That's an idea that I think that I think happened. I think I know the answer to it. Okay? But I'm not trying to focus on what I, like where did our DNA get upgraded from? Like, who upgraded our DNA? I think I have the answer. I think that answer is Pleiadians. I'm not trying to get into that today. What I'm trying to get into is why does our DNA have certain properties that cannot be explained easily, that makes us human?
Okay? So here's a fun fact about DNA and the genes. Okay? So your DNA is is the blueprint for humanity. Okay? DNA is the blueprint for all living organisms. Everything has a DNA. How many and and DNA controls genes. Okay? DNA controls genes, and those genes control proteins that then make up your life. Fun fact. Do you know how many genes a human has? Within have you ever thought about that? How many genes does a human have? Answer, 24,000. Okay. That's a lot of genes. Okay. Here's another trivia question. Do you know how many genes a lotus flower has?
Answer, 40,000. 40 thousand genes. Why does a flower have twice as many close to twice as many genes as a human being? Okay? I don't have the answer to that, But my point for bringing up these fun facts is if humans have less genes than a flower, and humans can do more things than a flower, that means that I mean, naturally, we're more efficient. Our DNA acts in a more efficient manner. Okay? We, like, we dozed ourselves two hundred thousand years ago. Like, Elon Musk was somewhere back then, dude. Humans are just efficient, you know. I I remember Ye saying, a year ago, like, two years ago, he was in, like, some interview with TMZ, and he said, humans are God's iPhone.
And I love that quote. And that and there's an aspect of truth to that, you know. We are like the iPhone of of creatures. Like, we can do so many things, and we're like the base model, which I think is really cool. And so, you know, long story short, we can do so many things with so little genes, you know. I I I wish I had the answers as to why a lotus flower has 40,000 genes, but, you know, all I know is that I have less, and I'm better than that flower. So screw you, lotus. And in the book, in Gregg Braden's book, he points to, some truths about the DNA, that is unexplainable and can, and he brings up this theory that is quite interesting. And I think it's very simple.
This this idea of DNA being an antenna. DNA is an antenna to our environment and to our, to our emotions, and quite possibly to the larger energetic field that is out there. Okay? So here's a fact about about our DNA that no one can explain. That we have a chromosome in our DNA called chromosome two. Okay. Chromosome two. This chromosome is not just one chromosome. It's two chromosomes that are fused together. This is how Grock talks about it. Chromosome two is two separate chromosomes that can be, like, like, they can figure out that they used to be separate, but they were fused together. And we're supposed to believe that they were fused together through natural selection and random probability throughout evolution.
Okay? So that's just one anomaly, okay, which I think is very interesting. And, you know, chromosome two, it does a lot of things. What it does, that's not the point. But what I'm saying is that these two chromosomes became one chromosome, and this one chromosome functions completely differently. And it's like, that that doesn't make any sense. Like, that's incredible. That's incredible. The next thing I have to say, and and what he brings up is that 90 isn't it a fact that science thinks that 98 of our DNA is, like, junk DNA? And even if that number is in incorrect, if it's not 98%, I remember hearing that there are aspects of our DNA that are quote unquote junk.
Like, right off the bat, when I hear that, the the sheer concept of junk DNA, that's a more quackadoodle bullshit that I've ever heard, dude. Like, that is so stupid. Like, what do you mean we got junk DNA? What the fuck? What's the point of evolution? Isn't the point of evolution that things die off? So if something's junk, why are we still seeing it? And so clearly, if it's still there, if it's still present, then it has purpose. And And we just don't know what that purpose is. We don't have the right tools to measure it. We don't have the right insight to observe it. You know, that's what I think. Okay? And, when it comes to DNA as an antenna, DNA as an antenna to our environment and to the energetic universe, what does that mean?
Well, first of all, we like, our bodies, we can we can, we can affect our DNA. Okay? They've done studies, at the, this institute is called the HeartMath Institute. And this is where some real grounding science is taking place when it comes to information about, something called brain heart coherence. Okay? Pretty much, when you focus on emotions, like gratitude and peace and love and these are, like, these are solid things. Like, these are not, like, some, like, hyperbole example. When you focus on there are there are scientific research. When you focus on peace, love, and gratitude, and when you do this within meditation or prayer or whatever, your heart starts beating differently. It starts getting in a more more in sync rhythm, more regular rhythm.
And when your heart is in this more regular rhythm, your brain is producing wavelengths that can be measured, that is then in sync with your heart. And your heart and and both your heart and your brain, there there's there's electricity in our bodies. There's magnetism within our bodies. Okay? And, here's a fact about the heart that I didn't know. So the difference between the brain and the heart. We all think so science thinks consciousness is in the brain. But when it comes to the heart, the heart has 60 times more electricity than the brain. There's 60 times more electrical impulses going through your heart than there is your brain.
Okay? And not only that, there your heart is 5,000 more times magnetic than your brain. 5,000 more times magnetic than your brain. What is your heart pulling in? If dude, like, there's some you are straight up magnetic. You ever play with those rocks at the zoo? At the like, those magnet rocks? Like, dude, what is your heart pulling in? 5,000 more times magnetic? And, you know, the brain is where, like, mostly everything happens. Right? We think. We dream. We plan. We we look. We scout. Like, we like, our brain is everywhere. Our brain is it. But, you know, these these measurable facts about the heart is so interesting. And when it comes to, you know so your heart's incredibly strong, and you can sync up your brain and your heart. When you sync up your brain and your heart on these positive, loving, and peaceful emotions, it's observable that your DNA tightens and loosens.
Okay? And when you're doing this brain heart coherence, which I've low key been doing, since my dad died, I've been focusing on these emotions in the morning and trying to, like, really feel these things. This brings more mental clarity. This brings lower cortisol, you know, less stress. And, some people there's been some studies pointing to that this brain heart coherence, brings about more more clear intuition. Okay? And that's just incredible. Okay? So there's a chance that our that your gut feeling and and so, like, intuition, a gut feeling. There's evidence to be said that your gut feeling is your biology talking with the divine.
Okay. What else is intuition? You know, like, you think you should go somewhere out into the universe? You think you should do something in the world? You know? When it comes to, like, thinking about, like, what god is, you know, I'm sort of a believer in the force, in Star Wars. I don't think god is an individual. I think God is a field. I think God is God, it he binds us. He brings everything together. Like, you know, whatever Obi wan says in Star Wars. I think God is the force and the source. Okay? This is something that I, you know, I I I believe in that. I I I sort I low key wanna coin that. I wanna, like, trademark that. God is the force and the source.
Okay? And you can connect to the source of the force through brain heart coherence with your biology. And, when you do this thing, you can loosen, you can relax your DNA. Because when you're stressed, your DNA is, like, all tight and compact. And when you're stressed and compact and like like squished up, like, like the walls are closing in. C three p o. C three p o. Where are you? Come in, c three p o. Like, you gotta learn to relax. And it's in this relaxed state is when you can, like, do anything. Or or at least you can do more. Right?
So I think that's really interesting. I'm I'm looking at my notes here, dude. So what am I trying to say here? So here's, like, another idea that I'm trying to talk about. Are we designed to know God and not just believe it? Okay. So when it comes to thinking about God as this, like, individual person in the sky or god is, like, some jealous thing, I think these are bad narratives. And, when it comes to the teachings of Jesus and the teachings of Buddha, it is clear and evident that God is within us. The kingdom of God is within us. You know, the kingdom of God, in modern terms, is the energetic field of the universe.
The kingdom of God, the the the force, the source, it is within us. It is around us. Every expression of life is that, dude. It's all an expression of God. The trees, the birds, the humans, you know. And humans have such a unique expression and ability to connect with it. Now, our origins are very interesting. I, you know, I already said what our origins might be but it's not about what the origins are. It's about who we are. It's not about where or what. It's about who. You. Who are you? You are connected to God. I believe this, and this is a narrative that needs to be communicated because as more and more people pitch AI, as more and more people pitch transhumanism, you know, this is something that needs to be discussed.
People think now, here's a parallel between science and religion. Both science and religion, they these two things believe that humans are inherently flawed. Christians believe in, original sin. Science believes in death. These two things are the are the same. Sin and death are equal. And it's these two things that are parallel. And that leads me to believe that the two of them are false. I don't believe in original sin. I don't believe in death. I don't think you're ever really dead. I think think this human life is an experience to be had. The only thing that dies is the human cells.
Consciousness goes on. It moves on wherever it came from. And so when it comes to knowing God or believing in God, I think these systems that encourage us to believe in God, they they promote separation. And when it comes to science, tech net and technology, they want us to believe in technology. And they want us to be a part of it. But what I have to say is that I think we are designed to know God, and we can know God through our intuition. We can know God through, through these positive emotions of peace, gratitude, and love, and, you know, these things. We know God through our relationships.
You know, just think about the purpose of life. The purpose of life is to learn lessons through your relationships. You know, a lot of different, like, you know it's so funny. When it comes to, like, cinema, like, I'm thinking about Woody Allen right now. I'm thinking about, like, there are so many stories written by, you know, primarily Jewish people, I guess, but, like, just, like, scientifically minded, rational thinking people. This question of the purpose of life comes up, and no one really has an answer for it. Here's the answer. The purpose of life is to learn emotional lessons through your relationships. That's all that life is.
You know? And you need to become to terms with what those lessons are. Okay? And you need to, like, integrate those into your life. And so and that's how we know god. We know God by forgiving. We know God by loving ourselves. We know God by remembering a moment with our mom that we love. We know God by caring for our nephews and our nieces and our sisters. You know, we care we know we know God through the love for our cousins and our families. This is God. God is love. God is love. And your DNA reacts to love. There's just a thing there's this field of science called epigenetics.
And epigenetics is sort of discovering a lot of different things about, well, how can we how do humans affect our genes? Genes can be activated. Genes within our DNA can be turned on and turned off. And, you know, there's a whole thing about that. You know, if you're in a really stressful environment, you know, a lot some genes will will be turned off, and you might get sick. We know this. When you're in a happy environment, when you're when you're positive, you know, other you know, it's more likely that you are a healthy person if you are living within a happy environment and a happy life.
You know? Even though people get sick. Like, my dad lived a happy life, and he still got sick. But what I'm saying is there is a there are different realities to your gene expressions through your constant thoughts and actions and your environment. You know, this is so true. And so, when it comes to our DNA and has it as an antenna, like, connecting to God, I think there's a way to to to tune it. You know? So this is like this is like the the the big idea. So like, whether it be through meditation, or gratitude, or even a podcast, you have the ability to tune the antenna.
You can tune the antenna, you can tune your DNA to something more life giving, to something wider, to something more possible. And this is a really groundbreaking thing. It's so groundbreaking, somebody spoke about it two thousand years ago. And it's so groundbreaking, another person spoke about it a thousand years before that. It's wickedly groundbreaking. How incredible is that?
[00:30:01] Unknown:
What do you think about that? Do you think that's real?
[00:30:04] Unknown:
Do you think that's real? I sort of just, like, gave you a bunch of, like, random random facts about about the DNA and about the heart and brain. But I think all these things point to, we have more control over our body and over our place in space than what has been given to us, what has been communicated to us through our systems. I think a lot of systems seek to control. A lot of systems seek to manipulate. And when it comes to your body and your intuition, you know, the only the only possible way that you can gaslight yourself or you can lie to yourself is when you believe another person's lie. But if you were to tune in to your intuition, if you were to tune your antenna to god, then you can't go wrong. Because god is love, and that and that tuning, that antenna will only guide you into love further into it, you know.
You know the tree brought by its fruits. That's another great wisdom from the bible. You know a tree by its fruits, and truth brings results. Okay? And so I'm on the path, you know. I'm on the path of developing my fruits from this practice. Hopefully, you can see it in my eyes. Hopefully, you can hear it and feel it in my voice that, this is something true, and this is something real, and this is something that needs to be continued to explored. Not by scientific fields, you know. I mean, I I would love that, you know, just so there's proof. Sure. But this idea needs to be discussed and practiced within the individuals listening to this right now.
Can you sync up your heart and your brain? Can you tune in to god? What does that mean? What does that look like for you? To be totally open and transparent, you know, I, I've been in in a sort of a practice of of of meditating on these emotions. It it usually, in the morning, I get up and I have, you know, the window right here to my to my right, to the to my right is, I I I I I get the morning sun. And I have the sun coming into my eyes. I'm doing that Huberman thing, and I'm I have my hand over my heart, so I can feel it a bit more. And I'm really trying to focus on love and gratitude. And sometimes, I'm thinking about my mom. Sometimes I'm thinking about my dad.
Sometimes I'm thinking about, you know, just a pet or something. I'm like, a loving feeling. Can you feel the love? You know? You ever seen The Lion King? Like, can you feel the love tonight? Like, that shit's real, dude. Like, this is real. Like, when you feel it, it's real. And I've had profound moments. I every day, it's different. Right? But I've had more profound moments than nonprofound moments. I've had more profound moments in my meditations on gratitude and love, that leads me to tears. And I feel healed from something. I don't really know what I'm healed from, but, like, in the moment, I'm like, oh my god. It's working. Oh my god. It's so I'm so happy.
It's just it it's sort of silly, but it's sort of fun. And I just encourage you to to go deeper into that, man. What do you think about that? What do you think about transhumanism? Do you wanna give yourself to a computer? Do you think we can just upload our consciousness to a computer? Or is our consciousness already connected to a greater consciousness? You know, that's what I believe. And that's, like, super controversial. That's, like, super woo woo. But, you know, it just makes sense to me, man. Like, it just makes sense. And the more like, why get married? Why be in a relationship? Why have kids? Why do anything pleasurable?
You know? Why do anything fun? Why travel? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why do anything in life if we're not connected to a greater power? If this is all just random and nothing and just like and just we're just random specks of dust in the cosmos, and we just happen to be on Earth where there's airplanes and oceans and alcohol and weed and women and everything fun in in between, dude. Like, what is the point of doing any of it if we're not connected to something bigger? Like so, I mean, that's my perspective, man. So that's the value I got. I would love to hear what you have to say on these topics. This is a big topic. I might be doing more episodes on this book, Pure Human by Gregg Braden, just because I'm, like, I'm only, like, in the fifth chapter. Like, I just thought the first five chapters were really interesting.
So but tell me what you think, man. Tell me what you think. That's the value we got. We're gonna head on into the value for value section. America Plus is a value for value show. What that means is I bring up, a conversation and topics that I think are helpful for humanity. And, we just talk about it, and you're able to send me, the value. You're able to reciprocate that value in whatever way you want. The best way that you can do that is through the fountain.fm

[00:35:52] Unknown:
app. It's the best way to support the show. Okay. So fountain.fm, that's a modern podcast app that you can support me on. It's an app that lets you send small bits of Bitcoin called Satoshis, to your podcasters, to your favorite podcasters like me. And, you can send sats with a message attached to it, and that's called a boostagram. So I'm about to read the boostagrams, from last week. We got a live boostagram coming in here from at mere mortals. What up, mere mortals? They they sent it in 11:11 with Satchel Richards from Chiron Down in Australia. He says, boosting live. We're live at the same time. LOL. I freaking love it, Chiron. What up, dude? Boosting is loving. Fuck yeah, man. Hello, Chiron. I love it.
Yes, dude. Yes. Yes. Yes. We got a live boost. I love that. And so, so thank you, Kyron. I I know I'm and I will be reading the boostograms from last week. Last week was on AI maximalism. I said I was an AI maximalist, to a degree. And, we got a couple other boostograms in. We this first one comes in from at Pies. He sends in 100 Satoshis. And he has to say, value for value. What up, bro? Thank you, sir. Boost. Thank you, Pies, for the hundred sats. And then, we got another one from last week from Kyran Down. He says, he he had a comment on maximalism.
He says, can't say that I'm a maximalist in anything. I oh, first of all, he sends in, 1,111 sats. He doesn't think he's a maximalist in anything. I don't like putting boundaries around myself, and this seems rather unnecessary. That being said, I'm on board with most of your vision for AI. It is going to change the world. It is going to take, take a while, and the more, the better. Yes, sir.
[00:37:42] Unknown:
And now, as the French say, it is time for La Bouste.
[00:37:48] Unknown:
La Bouste. And then then we got another one. So there's another guy coming in. He was streaming in some sats from a different app called True Fans. So, this guy's name is Lyceum or Lyceum. What a Lyceum. I know who you are. Shout out to Lyceum. He sends in now I don't know the exact amount because of the way this fountain wallet works, but he was sending in, like, 26 sats, a minute, which is pretty legit. And then he sends in over over, like, 1,000 or maybe even over 2,000, Satoshis. And he has to say, oh oh, this this is from, another episode I did, call, on Bitcoin and Trump and Bitcoin.
He says, as a supporter of the free market, I'm against tariffs, but I understand your point. I wonder if The United States Of America could go back to the gold standard. Very interesting, sir. Bustar. Bustar. Yeah. Lyceum. Yeah. That was on the Bitcoin episode, from a couple weeks ago. Thank you for that, dude. Thank you for all for all your sats. That's, what do I think about that? That's value for value? Let me think about my response to that. That's value for value. Lyceum. I don't think they're gonna go back on the gold standard because I think Bitcoin is going to replace everything.
Bitcoin will replace the standards. Bitcoin is the standard, dude. That's why it's value for value, dog. So thank you to everyone who donated. Thank you to everyone who do that. I also have a PayPal, if you wanna do the PayPal. PayPal's legit. If you wanna send me some dollar runies, that'd be great. That'd be fun. Yeah, dude. If you wanna get on that get in on that, be a part of the America Plus crew. Download the the found.fm app and, support me. Or go to podcastapps.com and download any of the modern podcast apps and hook up your Bitcoin wallet and support America Plus, because that'd be awesome. Another thing, as we wrap up this episode is, I always play a value for value song.
So there's this whole ecosystem of musicians that are releasing their their work, with a Bitcoin wallet, through RSS feeds. And, I always give I always play an play the end of the episode with a song, and I always give the artist ninety percent of your Satoshi donation. So when you're listening to the song, while the song is playing, if you choose to donate, they're gonna get this artist, today, it's two weeks in Nashville. Two Weeks in Nashville is gonna be getting 90% of your Satoshi donation. Let me share the screen here really quick on Restream, dude.
Do do do do do do do do do do. I think this is gonna play music. I think it it might. It might not. We're gonna see if it does. I'm trying to get the music to be played on the live streams because it has been playing, but maybe it will, maybe it won't. Regardless, This song that, I'm wrapping up the this episode on is from two weeks in Nashville. They're getting 90% of your donation, and this song is called Money Maker. Enjoy.
[00:42:29] Unknown:
So tell me how you like it now. I'm gonna find my folks and write my thumb.
[00:42:34] Unknown:
I won't let this go. No. I am not your money maker.
[00:44:41] Unknown:
That's America plus, bitch. Stay free.
Is there a biological connection to God? What's up, everyone? It's America Plus. I'm your host, Cole McCormick. It's another week of another episode. What's going on, everybody? I'm gonna be here. It's Sunday, five twenty three in the PM, y'all. What a beautiful day to be alive. I'm coming to you after the beach. I just did a great beach workout. I'm feeling really fresh, really good, and, I'm just in good vibes, dude. I didn't get in the waves because I still think the beach is, like, contaminated from the fires. Just all the sludge from the Malibu fire is just, like, into the ocean. And now, like, all the burnt wood is on the beach, and I don't wanna be a part of it. I don't wanna be around there at all.
But I do wanna be here at America Plus, y'all. I'm happy to, I'm just in good vibes. I had a great workout. I was in the sun. It was one of those, like, solo workouts. So it was just it was just good, dude. You know? Have you ever been in, like, a good vibe like that? This episode was really important to me. Okay? I think this might be one of the most important episodes that I've ever put on, because this is going into something that I think bridges the gap between religion and science. It it it doesn't just bridge the gap between those two things. It it transcends. I seek to transcend the narratives of religion and science with this podcast episode.
Okay? That's where we're at right now. That's why you're listening to America Plus. I believe I have a hunch that we have a biological connection to God. Okay? There's a few different things that I'm gonna go into that is going to I I I'm not trying to prove this. What I am trying to do is get this idea out there, push this idea a bit more. And if you're thinking similarly, then please engage with this because I think it's really important. So first of all, so why do I think this? I started thinking this, around the time a little bit before my dad had cancer. Just like this, like, general thought, like, like, what is what is belief in God? What is this thing that we call faith? What is this thing that we call life? Like, what is this? Like, the narratives that are surrounding us within Christianity, and Islam, and Judaism, and science, and Buddhism and, Hinduism and Scientology and, you know, pick your religion. Pick your thing, dude.
All these things, they have, like, aspects. Like, there might be one truth. There might be some truths, that are that are true. But at the same time, none of them is, like, a complete umbrella for the entire cahona cahoning of life. And, what I aim to do what I'm the path I've been on is I think we can really figure that out. I think there can be one big narrative. I think there is a true narrative to life. And what's necessary to think about this is, our body, I think. And what I wanna share I have a story that I wanna share that sort of brings the emotion and and and and brings the clarity into this. So so my most recent trauma okay. So I my dad died. Right?
After my dad died, eight months ago, after my dad died, I had this insane dream. And I forget if I've shared this before in the podcast, but if I haven't, you're hearing it again. So I I I had this super intense dream where I was in my home, and I was in my childhood home, and I saw my dad, how I had, like, remembered him. You know? Like, I remembered him when he was, like, like he's, like, in his mid thirties, and that's how old he was when I was a young kid. And so I'm I'm seeing the, like, the prime version of my dad.
And, you know, this is, you know, this is just like six weeks after he passed, and, you know, very heavy grief. And in the dream, he's sitting on the couch, and I go over to him, and I sit next to him. And I look at him, and I'm seeing him smile at me. And it was, like, pure love. Like like, I saw, like, love, and I was missing him, and I was, like the emotion was so raw in this dream. And I look at him, and I go, I just wanna feel you touch my back. I just wanna feel you touch me. And, I sort of, like, laid on my stomach on the couch, and I felt my dad's hand touch my back.
But as soon as he touched my back, I felt electricity shocking me. I felt literal electricity in my back. I've and I felt my back spasming. And in the dream, I'm like I'm like shaking and I'm like twitching. Like, my back is like, like, it's it's seriously twitching. I'm having muscle spasms in my dream. And and then I start, like, dry heaving. And then the next thing I know, I'm waking up in reality, and I'm dry heaving. I'm like, and my back is spasming in real life. I'm literally having back spasms on earth after this dream, and and the back spasms didn't stop for, like, another, like, five minutes.
And I had to, like, I was, like, coming to terms. I was, like, I was, like, coming to. I was, like, what the fuck? What the fuck is going on? Like, I didn't know I didn't know what was happening. And I knew but I knew it was intense. And I I I knew what I had experienced was real. I I experienced something super real in that moment. And, that leads me to continue thinking of, like, what what did my body go through? My dad's dead, and I have this dream. And the only way that I can perceive this is I had a physical contact with a spirit.
And this is not to go into Ouija boards or, like, summoning spirits. You know, like, I'm not trying to get paranormal, even though this story is pretty spooky. But I had physical contact with a spirit. You know, my dad's spirit. This is something that I firmly believe. And, this goes into the question of, like, what is our connection to God? Okay? And do we have a physical connection? Is there a physical connection to God? I grew up Christian, and so the only connection that Christians have to God is through the blood of Jesus. And this is a narrative that I have come to terms with not accepting.
I believe Christianity has I I think when it comes to Christianity, like, I'm not even Christian. I I'm I'm only following the advice of Jesus. I'm only following the teachings of Jesus, and I don't believe Jesus taught that he was here to die for me. You know, that's that's a blood ritual. I don't think Jesus believed in blood rituals. I think Jesus was, you know it's pretty clear what he was teaching. He was teaching about peace and love, and and he was teaching about, you know, his greatest commandment is love the lord your god with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength.
And when you think about that, and I'm thinking about this. Right? Like, throughout my life. When you think about that, love the lord your god with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength. Okay? How many of those things are based on your physical presence and your real biology? Love the Lord with your heart, that's biological. Heart, soul okay. Soul is a little like spiritual, a little like airy fairy. Mind, your mind is physical. Strength, and your strength is physical. So three out of those four is physical reality, and one of them is your spirit side. Okay?
And I'm trying to go into, like, the spirit side, like, there has to be a connection to the spiritual side through the physical. Okay? And, most recently, I've been reading the book. I sort of talked about it last week. I, I brought it up briefly. I'm reading this new book, by this author named Gregg Braden. Gregg Braden, he's one of these guys who's been talking for he's been talking for decades about this sort of thing, about about manifestation, about the book of Thomas, about prayer, just about about these types of topics. Okay? And his newest book that came out in January 2025, called Pure Human, this book is getting into topics that are surrounding, like, what it what does it mean to be pure human?
What does it mean to be a human? And this is in juxtaposition of what is happening in the in in the current time of, technology and AI, and this concept of transhumanism. There's some people who think that we are going to give ourselves to technology. We're going to give our entire human experience to a brain chip and to artificial intelligence. And, no matter if that's, like, happening right now or happening later in the future, you know, we got Neuralink. You know, Elon Musk's Neuralink is real. Brains interacting with computers is real. And, a lot of people in the scientific field, they think that our consciousness can be uploaded. There's so many movies about this. There's so many stories about our consciousness being into some matrix.
Our consciousness is hooked up to some, you know, to some algorithm, to some computer. Okay? And, on the spiritual side, when it comes to this idea of a biological connection to God, if you don't believe in that, okay, that's okay. We're just talking about it. But on the flip side of that spirit side, on the technological side, science believes that you can upload, which is a physical thing. You gotta plug something in. You gotta plug in your brain to a computer for your consciousness to transfer. So the scientific side believes in that. And I'm trying to discuss the spiritual side of that, the spirit and biological side. I think that we already have this physical connection.
And this physical connection is our DNA. That like, that's what it is. Like, long story short, our physical connection to God is DNA. And, there's a lot of things going on with our DNA that science does not have a clear answer on. Okay? Specifically, you know, I I shouldn't say specifically. Broadly speaking, the story of evolution and humanity. Okay? I'm not an evolution denier, but when it comes to the story of how humans progressed on Earth, there's a lot of things that just, like, happened pretty lickety split, dude. Like, things just freaking happened two hundred thousand years ago. All of a sudden, two hundred thousand years ago, humans had art and language and society, and somehow, we just we had things. Like, we were just living.
We were living large. And science has like, they have theories. Right? And, a lot of people in, like, the in, like, the spiritual realm, the u the the UAP, the UFO realm, they wanna say that there is some sport some sort of, seeding, some sort of DNA upgrade, you know? And that's an idea that I'm, that I'm leaning into. Okay? That's an idea that I think that I think happened. I think I know the answer to it. Okay? But I'm not trying to focus on what I, like where did our DNA get upgraded from? Like, who upgraded our DNA? I think I have the answer. I think that answer is Pleiadians. I'm not trying to get into that today. What I'm trying to get into is why does our DNA have certain properties that cannot be explained easily, that makes us human?
Okay? So here's a fun fact about DNA and the genes. Okay? So your DNA is is the blueprint for humanity. Okay? DNA is the blueprint for all living organisms. Everything has a DNA. How many and and DNA controls genes. Okay? DNA controls genes, and those genes control proteins that then make up your life. Fun fact. Do you know how many genes a human has? Within have you ever thought about that? How many genes does a human have? Answer, 24,000. Okay. That's a lot of genes. Okay. Here's another trivia question. Do you know how many genes a lotus flower has?
Answer, 40,000. 40 thousand genes. Why does a flower have twice as many close to twice as many genes as a human being? Okay? I don't have the answer to that, But my point for bringing up these fun facts is if humans have less genes than a flower, and humans can do more things than a flower, that means that I mean, naturally, we're more efficient. Our DNA acts in a more efficient manner. Okay? We, like, we dozed ourselves two hundred thousand years ago. Like, Elon Musk was somewhere back then, dude. Humans are just efficient, you know. I I remember Ye saying, a year ago, like, two years ago, he was in, like, some interview with TMZ, and he said, humans are God's iPhone.
And I love that quote. And that and there's an aspect of truth to that, you know. We are like the iPhone of of creatures. Like, we can do so many things, and we're like the base model, which I think is really cool. And so, you know, long story short, we can do so many things with so little genes, you know. I I I wish I had the answers as to why a lotus flower has 40,000 genes, but, you know, all I know is that I have less, and I'm better than that flower. So screw you, lotus. And in the book, in Gregg Braden's book, he points to, some truths about the DNA, that is unexplainable and can, and he brings up this theory that is quite interesting. And I think it's very simple.
This this idea of DNA being an antenna. DNA is an antenna to our environment and to our, to our emotions, and quite possibly to the larger energetic field that is out there. Okay? So here's a fact about about our DNA that no one can explain. That we have a chromosome in our DNA called chromosome two. Okay. Chromosome two. This chromosome is not just one chromosome. It's two chromosomes that are fused together. This is how Grock talks about it. Chromosome two is two separate chromosomes that can be, like, like, they can figure out that they used to be separate, but they were fused together. And we're supposed to believe that they were fused together through natural selection and random probability throughout evolution.
Okay? So that's just one anomaly, okay, which I think is very interesting. And, you know, chromosome two, it does a lot of things. What it does, that's not the point. But what I'm saying is that these two chromosomes became one chromosome, and this one chromosome functions completely differently. And it's like, that that doesn't make any sense. Like, that's incredible. That's incredible. The next thing I have to say, and and what he brings up is that 90 isn't it a fact that science thinks that 98 of our DNA is, like, junk DNA? And even if that number is in incorrect, if it's not 98%, I remember hearing that there are aspects of our DNA that are quote unquote junk.
Like, right off the bat, when I hear that, the the sheer concept of junk DNA, that's a more quackadoodle bullshit that I've ever heard, dude. Like, that is so stupid. Like, what do you mean we got junk DNA? What the fuck? What's the point of evolution? Isn't the point of evolution that things die off? So if something's junk, why are we still seeing it? And so clearly, if it's still there, if it's still present, then it has purpose. And And we just don't know what that purpose is. We don't have the right tools to measure it. We don't have the right insight to observe it. You know, that's what I think. Okay? And, when it comes to DNA as an antenna, DNA as an antenna to our environment and to the energetic universe, what does that mean?
Well, first of all, we like, our bodies, we can we can, we can affect our DNA. Okay? They've done studies, at the, this institute is called the HeartMath Institute. And this is where some real grounding science is taking place when it comes to information about, something called brain heart coherence. Okay? Pretty much, when you focus on emotions, like gratitude and peace and love and these are, like, these are solid things. Like, these are not, like, some, like, hyperbole example. When you focus on there are there are scientific research. When you focus on peace, love, and gratitude, and when you do this within meditation or prayer or whatever, your heart starts beating differently. It starts getting in a more more in sync rhythm, more regular rhythm.
And when your heart is in this more regular rhythm, your brain is producing wavelengths that can be measured, that is then in sync with your heart. And your heart and and both your heart and your brain, there there's there's electricity in our bodies. There's magnetism within our bodies. Okay? And, here's a fact about the heart that I didn't know. So the difference between the brain and the heart. We all think so science thinks consciousness is in the brain. But when it comes to the heart, the heart has 60 times more electricity than the brain. There's 60 times more electrical impulses going through your heart than there is your brain.
Okay? And not only that, there your heart is 5,000 more times magnetic than your brain. 5,000 more times magnetic than your brain. What is your heart pulling in? If dude, like, there's some you are straight up magnetic. You ever play with those rocks at the zoo? At the like, those magnet rocks? Like, dude, what is your heart pulling in? 5,000 more times magnetic? And, you know, the brain is where, like, mostly everything happens. Right? We think. We dream. We plan. We we look. We scout. Like, we like, our brain is everywhere. Our brain is it. But, you know, these these measurable facts about the heart is so interesting. And when it comes to, you know so your heart's incredibly strong, and you can sync up your brain and your heart. When you sync up your brain and your heart on these positive, loving, and peaceful emotions, it's observable that your DNA tightens and loosens.
Okay? And when you're doing this brain heart coherence, which I've low key been doing, since my dad died, I've been focusing on these emotions in the morning and trying to, like, really feel these things. This brings more mental clarity. This brings lower cortisol, you know, less stress. And, some people there's been some studies pointing to that this brain heart coherence, brings about more more clear intuition. Okay? And that's just incredible. Okay? So there's a chance that our that your gut feeling and and so, like, intuition, a gut feeling. There's evidence to be said that your gut feeling is your biology talking with the divine.
Okay. What else is intuition? You know, like, you think you should go somewhere out into the universe? You think you should do something in the world? You know? When it comes to, like, thinking about, like, what god is, you know, I'm sort of a believer in the force, in Star Wars. I don't think god is an individual. I think God is a field. I think God is God, it he binds us. He brings everything together. Like, you know, whatever Obi wan says in Star Wars. I think God is the force and the source. Okay? This is something that I, you know, I I I believe in that. I I I sort I low key wanna coin that. I wanna, like, trademark that. God is the force and the source.
Okay? And you can connect to the source of the force through brain heart coherence with your biology. And, when you do this thing, you can loosen, you can relax your DNA. Because when you're stressed, your DNA is, like, all tight and compact. And when you're stressed and compact and like like squished up, like, like the walls are closing in. C three p o. C three p o. Where are you? Come in, c three p o. Like, you gotta learn to relax. And it's in this relaxed state is when you can, like, do anything. Or or at least you can do more. Right?
So I think that's really interesting. I'm I'm looking at my notes here, dude. So what am I trying to say here? So here's, like, another idea that I'm trying to talk about. Are we designed to know God and not just believe it? Okay. So when it comes to thinking about God as this, like, individual person in the sky or god is, like, some jealous thing, I think these are bad narratives. And, when it comes to the teachings of Jesus and the teachings of Buddha, it is clear and evident that God is within us. The kingdom of God is within us. You know, the kingdom of God, in modern terms, is the energetic field of the universe.
The kingdom of God, the the the force, the source, it is within us. It is around us. Every expression of life is that, dude. It's all an expression of God. The trees, the birds, the humans, you know. And humans have such a unique expression and ability to connect with it. Now, our origins are very interesting. I, you know, I already said what our origins might be but it's not about what the origins are. It's about who we are. It's not about where or what. It's about who. You. Who are you? You are connected to God. I believe this, and this is a narrative that needs to be communicated because as more and more people pitch AI, as more and more people pitch transhumanism, you know, this is something that needs to be discussed.
People think now, here's a parallel between science and religion. Both science and religion, they these two things believe that humans are inherently flawed. Christians believe in, original sin. Science believes in death. These two things are the are the same. Sin and death are equal. And it's these two things that are parallel. And that leads me to believe that the two of them are false. I don't believe in original sin. I don't believe in death. I don't think you're ever really dead. I think think this human life is an experience to be had. The only thing that dies is the human cells.
Consciousness goes on. It moves on wherever it came from. And so when it comes to knowing God or believing in God, I think these systems that encourage us to believe in God, they they promote separation. And when it comes to science, tech net and technology, they want us to believe in technology. And they want us to be a part of it. But what I have to say is that I think we are designed to know God, and we can know God through our intuition. We can know God through, through these positive emotions of peace, gratitude, and love, and, you know, these things. We know God through our relationships.
You know, just think about the purpose of life. The purpose of life is to learn lessons through your relationships. You know, a lot of different, like, you know it's so funny. When it comes to, like, cinema, like, I'm thinking about Woody Allen right now. I'm thinking about, like, there are so many stories written by, you know, primarily Jewish people, I guess, but, like, just, like, scientifically minded, rational thinking people. This question of the purpose of life comes up, and no one really has an answer for it. Here's the answer. The purpose of life is to learn emotional lessons through your relationships. That's all that life is.
You know? And you need to become to terms with what those lessons are. Okay? And you need to, like, integrate those into your life. And so and that's how we know god. We know God by forgiving. We know God by loving ourselves. We know God by remembering a moment with our mom that we love. We know God by caring for our nephews and our nieces and our sisters. You know, we care we know we know God through the love for our cousins and our families. This is God. God is love. God is love. And your DNA reacts to love. There's just a thing there's this field of science called epigenetics.
And epigenetics is sort of discovering a lot of different things about, well, how can we how do humans affect our genes? Genes can be activated. Genes within our DNA can be turned on and turned off. And, you know, there's a whole thing about that. You know, if you're in a really stressful environment, you know, a lot some genes will will be turned off, and you might get sick. We know this. When you're in a happy environment, when you're when you're positive, you know, other you know, it's more likely that you are a healthy person if you are living within a happy environment and a happy life.
You know? Even though people get sick. Like, my dad lived a happy life, and he still got sick. But what I'm saying is there is a there are different realities to your gene expressions through your constant thoughts and actions and your environment. You know, this is so true. And so, when it comes to our DNA and has it as an antenna, like, connecting to God, I think there's a way to to to tune it. You know? So this is like this is like the the the big idea. So like, whether it be through meditation, or gratitude, or even a podcast, you have the ability to tune the antenna.
You can tune the antenna, you can tune your DNA to something more life giving, to something wider, to something more possible. And this is a really groundbreaking thing. It's so groundbreaking, somebody spoke about it two thousand years ago. And it's so groundbreaking, another person spoke about it a thousand years before that. It's wickedly groundbreaking. How incredible is that?
[00:30:01] Unknown:
What do you think about that? Do you think that's real?
[00:30:04] Unknown:
Do you think that's real? I sort of just, like, gave you a bunch of, like, random random facts about about the DNA and about the heart and brain. But I think all these things point to, we have more control over our body and over our place in space than what has been given to us, what has been communicated to us through our systems. I think a lot of systems seek to control. A lot of systems seek to manipulate. And when it comes to your body and your intuition, you know, the only the only possible way that you can gaslight yourself or you can lie to yourself is when you believe another person's lie. But if you were to tune in to your intuition, if you were to tune your antenna to god, then you can't go wrong. Because god is love, and that and that tuning, that antenna will only guide you into love further into it, you know.
You know the tree brought by its fruits. That's another great wisdom from the bible. You know a tree by its fruits, and truth brings results. Okay? And so I'm on the path, you know. I'm on the path of developing my fruits from this practice. Hopefully, you can see it in my eyes. Hopefully, you can hear it and feel it in my voice that, this is something true, and this is something real, and this is something that needs to be continued to explored. Not by scientific fields, you know. I mean, I I would love that, you know, just so there's proof. Sure. But this idea needs to be discussed and practiced within the individuals listening to this right now.
Can you sync up your heart and your brain? Can you tune in to god? What does that mean? What does that look like for you? To be totally open and transparent, you know, I, I've been in in a sort of a practice of of of meditating on these emotions. It it usually, in the morning, I get up and I have, you know, the window right here to my to my right, to the to my right is, I I I I I get the morning sun. And I have the sun coming into my eyes. I'm doing that Huberman thing, and I'm I have my hand over my heart, so I can feel it a bit more. And I'm really trying to focus on love and gratitude. And sometimes, I'm thinking about my mom. Sometimes I'm thinking about my dad.
Sometimes I'm thinking about, you know, just a pet or something. I'm like, a loving feeling. Can you feel the love? You know? You ever seen The Lion King? Like, can you feel the love tonight? Like, that shit's real, dude. Like, this is real. Like, when you feel it, it's real. And I've had profound moments. I every day, it's different. Right? But I've had more profound moments than nonprofound moments. I've had more profound moments in my meditations on gratitude and love, that leads me to tears. And I feel healed from something. I don't really know what I'm healed from, but, like, in the moment, I'm like, oh my god. It's working. Oh my god. It's so I'm so happy.
It's just it it's sort of silly, but it's sort of fun. And I just encourage you to to go deeper into that, man. What do you think about that? What do you think about transhumanism? Do you wanna give yourself to a computer? Do you think we can just upload our consciousness to a computer? Or is our consciousness already connected to a greater consciousness? You know, that's what I believe. And that's, like, super controversial. That's, like, super woo woo. But, you know, it just makes sense to me, man. Like, it just makes sense. And the more like, why get married? Why be in a relationship? Why have kids? Why do anything pleasurable?
You know? Why do anything fun? Why travel? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why do anything in life if we're not connected to a greater power? If this is all just random and nothing and just like and just we're just random specks of dust in the cosmos, and we just happen to be on Earth where there's airplanes and oceans and alcohol and weed and women and everything fun in in between, dude. Like, what is the point of doing any of it if we're not connected to something bigger? Like so, I mean, that's my perspective, man. So that's the value I got. I would love to hear what you have to say on these topics. This is a big topic. I might be doing more episodes on this book, Pure Human by Gregg Braden, just because I'm, like, I'm only, like, in the fifth chapter. Like, I just thought the first five chapters were really interesting.
So but tell me what you think, man. Tell me what you think. That's the value we got. We're gonna head on into the value for value section. America Plus is a value for value show. What that means is I bring up, a conversation and topics that I think are helpful for humanity. And, we just talk about it, and you're able to send me, the value. You're able to reciprocate that value in whatever way you want. The best way that you can do that is through the fountain.fm

app. It's the best way to support the show. Okay. So fountain.fm, that's a modern podcast app that you can support me on. It's an app that lets you send small bits of Bitcoin called Satoshis, to your podcasters, to your favorite podcasters like me. And, you can send sats with a message attached to it, and that's called a boostagram. So I'm about to read the boostagrams, from last week. We got a live boostagram coming in here from at mere mortals. What up, mere mortals? They they sent it in 11:11 with Satchel Richards from Chiron Down in Australia. He says, boosting live. We're live at the same time. LOL. I freaking love it, Chiron. What up, dude? Boosting is loving. Fuck yeah, man. Hello, Chiron. I love it.
Yes, dude. Yes. Yes. Yes. We got a live boost. I love that. And so, so thank you, Kyron. I I know I'm and I will be reading the boostograms from last week. Last week was on AI maximalism. I said I was an AI maximalist, to a degree. And, we got a couple other boostograms in. We this first one comes in from at Pies. He sends in 100 Satoshis. And he has to say, value for value. What up, bro? Thank you, sir. Boost. Thank you, Pies, for the hundred sats. And then, we got another one from last week from Kyran Down. He says, he he had a comment on maximalism.
He says, can't say that I'm a maximalist in anything. I oh, first of all, he sends in, 1,111 sats. He doesn't think he's a maximalist in anything. I don't like putting boundaries around myself, and this seems rather unnecessary. That being said, I'm on board with most of your vision for AI. It is going to change the world. It is going to take, take a while, and the more, the better. Yes, sir.

And now, as the French say, it is time for La Bouste.
[00:37:48] Unknown:
La Bouste. And then then we got another one. So there's another guy coming in. He was streaming in some sats from a different app called True Fans. So, this guy's name is Lyceum or Lyceum. What a Lyceum. I know who you are. Shout out to Lyceum. He sends in now I don't know the exact amount because of the way this fountain wallet works, but he was sending in, like, 26 sats, a minute, which is pretty legit. And then he sends in over over, like, 1,000 or maybe even over 2,000, Satoshis. And he has to say, oh oh, this this is from, another episode I did, call, on Bitcoin and Trump and Bitcoin.
He says, as a supporter of the free market, I'm against tariffs, but I understand your point. I wonder if The United States Of America could go back to the gold standard. Very interesting, sir. Bustar. Bustar. Yeah. Lyceum. Yeah. That was on the Bitcoin episode, from a couple weeks ago. Thank you for that, dude. Thank you for all for all your sats. That's, what do I think about that? That's value for value? Let me think about my response to that. That's value for value. Lyceum. I don't think they're gonna go back on the gold standard because I think Bitcoin is going to replace everything.
Bitcoin will replace the standards. Bitcoin is the standard, dude. That's why it's value for value, dog. So thank you to everyone who donated. Thank you to everyone who do that. I also have a PayPal, if you wanna do the PayPal. PayPal's legit. If you wanna send me some dollar runies, that'd be great. That'd be fun. Yeah, dude. If you wanna get on that get in on that, be a part of the America Plus crew. Download the the found.fm app and, support me. Or go to podcastapps.com and download any of the modern podcast apps and hook up your Bitcoin wallet and support America Plus, because that'd be awesome. Another thing, as we wrap up this episode is, I always play a value for value song.
So there's this whole ecosystem of musicians that are releasing their their work, with a Bitcoin wallet, through RSS feeds. And, I always give I always play an play the end of the episode with a song, and I always give the artist ninety percent of your Satoshi donation. So when you're listening to the song, while the song is playing, if you choose to donate, they're gonna get this artist, today, it's two weeks in Nashville. Two Weeks in Nashville is gonna be getting 90% of your Satoshi donation. Let me share the screen here really quick on Restream, dude.
Do do do do do do do do do do. I think this is gonna play music. I think it it might. It might not. We're gonna see if it does. I'm trying to get the music to be played on the live streams because it has been playing, but maybe it will, maybe it won't. Regardless, This song that, I'm wrapping up the this episode on is from two weeks in Nashville. They're getting 90% of your donation, and this song is called Money Maker. Enjoy.
