The Yurt World with Amplify
•The Yurt World with Amplify• Matt describes the inside as peaceful and relaxing. They have fairy lights, electricity to run a toaster-oven, a foot pump for cold water, a wood-burning cook stove and a composting toilet. All. In. One. Room. Not sure what you’ve heard, but the birds love them yurts. What’s a yurt? Does it hurt? Is it sweet like dessert? Nah, brah. It’s a circular home in the dirt. You’d think it be cold, it’s so warm that it burns. Sorta looks like a SKRRRRRT The gallant fellow, Matt Makarenko, swore it comes with its perks. Screwed so many pegs its berzerk. He exerted his strength till he sweat through his shirts. Even though it’s his first, he’s now a convert. He spoke to PD ‘bout the things that he’s learnt. -
Into The Matrix (2021-12-17) - A Lecture by Dr Christopher DiCarlo
FRIducation | LIVE 2021-12-17 | Into the matrix: Religious, Literary, and Philosophical Influences. Whether you’d choose the red or blue pill, The Matrix trilogy continues sparking debates around reality. It challenges perceptions, questions existence, and plugs into the intersection of philosophy, literature, and religion. Follow Dr Christopher ‘Doc’ DiCarlo as he dissects the influences which birthed the matrix universe and raised it into an expanding presence in pop culture. How deep does the rabbit hole go? An online lecture on The Matrix trilogy, in anticipation of The Matrix Resurrections, with Dr Christopher ‘Doc’ Dicarlo and the Pixel Dreams team. -
The Systemic Self (2021-10-08)
FRIducation | A mind. Shaken, not stirred. The systemic self. Join Dr. Christopher ‘Doc’ DiCarlo for the mind-blowing sequel to the Evolution of Human Consciousness Recorded on Friday, October 8th 2021 Over the last 30,000 years, a ‘perfect storm’ of events enabled our prehistoric ancestors to develop the physical, mental, and emotional tools, to consciously direct their thoughts towards specific ends. We have advanced faster than any other species on our planet. We went from blindly following behavioural instincts to consciously becoming aware of ourselves and others. And then the universe threw us a curve ball – a shocking realization about ‘what’ we truly are. Are you ready to learn something about yourself that, maybe, you wish you hadn't? Some may not like what acclaimed author and critical thinker, Doc DiCarlo, has discovered. But we promise a highly critical and undeniably entertaining conversation about ourselves as conscious beings. Watch the sequel to our 2-part virtual series on the Evolution of Human Consciousness. -
The Evolution of Human Consciousness (2021-08-20)

We’ll explore how and why human consciousness emerged to give us a cutting edge over every other species on the planet. -
Critical Thinking VS Conspiracy Theories (2021-06-18)
A FRIducation presentation by Dr. Christopher DiCarlo, award-winning lecturer and author, Dr. DiCarlo spent years researching the phenomenon of conspiracy belief. His upcoming book, “How to Talk to a Conspiracy Theorist”, tackles the increasing belief in alternate truths by examining the cultural, technological, and psychological factors that create them. -
Is Prison Reform a Lost Cause? (2020-08-14)
Dr. Christopher DiCarlo takes us behind bars to explain the fundamentals, like the difference between jail and prison (no, they aren’t the same), as well as inmate mental health, recidivism rates, and more. How much do we really spend on prisons, and are we getting our money’s worth? Can we really call it “corrections” if nothing gets fixed and no one gets rehabilitated? Dr. Christopher DiCarlo Examines the State of Incarceration - Is Prison Reform a Lost Cause? -
