The Jordan Harbinger Show

Are near-death experiences proof of an afterlife — or just the brain's final fireworks? Michael Regilio goes into the light to find out on Skeptical Sunday!

Welcome to Skeptical Sunday, a special edition of The Jordan Harbinger Show where Jordan and a guest break down a topic that you may have never thought about, open things up, and debunk common misconceptions. This time around, we’re joined by skeptic, comedian, and podcaster Michael Regilio!

Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1263

On This Week's Skeptical Sunday:

Near-death experiences are real experiences — but that doesn't make them supernatural. • NDEs happen to ordinary people during medical crises, and while skeptics question the metaphysical claims, no one disputes the profound personal impact. These aren't grifts or delusions — they're genuine neurological events that often leave people calmer, kinder, and less afraid of death.
The "tunnel of light" isn't universal — it's cultural. • Western NDEs feature tunnels and beings of light, but Buddhist and Hindu experiencers often describe rivers, bridges, or ancestors. This cultural filtering suggests NDEs are brain-based events shaped by personal beliefs — not visits to a one-size-fits-all afterlife waiting room.
"Clinically dead" doesn't mean the brain has completely shut down. • Proponents argue NDEs prove consciousness survives death because brains were "flatlining" — but neuroscientists note that minimal brain activity can still occur undetected, and memories may be reconstructed after the fact as the brain "reboots."
Dying might actually be a psychedelic experience. • When the brain faces extreme stress, it releases a cocktail of DMT, endorphins, and dopamine while electrical hyperexcitation fires neurons en masse — creating vivid, dreamlike experiences that may explain the transcendent feelings people report.
You don't need a near-death experience to live like you've had one. • People who've had NDEs often return less materialistic, more focused on love, and at peace with mortality. The takeaway? You can adopt that perspective right now — prioritize connection over accumulation, presence over panic — without the terrifying trip to death's door.

1262: A Weighty Matter of Mind Over Platter | Feedback Friday

Q-Day — when quantum computers crack all encryption — is coming. Quantum eMotion COO John Young breaks down the pros and cons of what's to come.

Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1261

What We Discuss with John Young:

Q-Day is the looming moment when quantum computers become powerful enough to break current encryption • — rendering bank accounts, medical records, government secrets, and critical infrastructure vulnerable not through hacking, but through raw computational power that can solve in minutes what would take today's computers longer than human civilization has existed.
"Harvest now, decrypt later" is already happening. • Adversaries are collecting encrypted data today, storing it like a time capsule, waiting for quantum computers to mature so they can unlock secrets that were meant to stay buried forever — meaning today's sensitive communications could become tomorrow's exposed vulnerabilities.
Quantum computers aren't just faster classical computers — they operate on fundamentally different physics • — using qubits that can exist in multiple states simultaneously, allowing them to explore countless possibilities at once rather than checking solutions one by one, which is what makes them so dangerous to current encryption methods.
The transition to quantum-safe encryption is a massive, slow-moving crisis. • Large institutions with decades of layered encryption systems face years of retrofitting, while startups can build quantum-resistant from day one, creating a dangerous gap where critical infrastructure remains exposed during the changeover.
The same technology threatening our digital security also promises extraordinary breakthroughs. • Quantum computing could deliver miracle drugs, better batteries, climate solutions, and new materials, so the path forward isn't fear but preparation: organizations should begin transitioning to quantum-resistant algorithms now while the benefits still outweigh the risks.
 • And much more...

1261: John Young | Decrypting the Quantum Quandaries of Q-Day

Big Tobacco's playbook is back — just with better branding and candy flavors. Jessica Wynn clears the air about vaping here on Skeptical Sunday!

Welcome to Skeptical Sunday, a special edition of The Jordan Harbinger Show where Jordan and a guest break down a topic that you may have never thought about, open things up, and debunk common misconceptions. This time around, we’re joined by writer and researcher Jessica Wynn!

Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1260

On This Week's Skeptical Sunday:

Vapes don't produce harmless vapor. • They emit aerosol, a "chemical soup" containing nicotine, heavy metals like lead and nickel, formaldehyde, and ultrafine particles that penetrate deep into lungs where filtration is impossible.
JUUL revolutionized addiction by using nicotine salts instead of freebase nicotine • — lowering the pH for smoother hits at higher concentrations, delivering a faster brain rush with less coughing, and packing one pod with the equivalent of an entire pack of cigarettes.
Many vapes labeled "nicotine-free" actually contain nicotine when tested • , and secondhand aerosol isn't safe either — it deposits residue on surfaces, harms pets, and exposes bystanders to the same toxic cocktail inhaled by the vaper.
The same playbook Big Tobacco used for decades • — targeting kids, using candy flavors, buying off scientists, and fighting regulation —
 is now deployed through sleeker devices and better branding.Quitting is possible, and the tools actually work. Programs like the Truth Initiative's "This Is Quitting" show 40% higher quit rates, and texting DITCHVAPE to 88709 connects you with free, judgment-free support designed for real people fighting real addiction.Connect with Jordan • on

You were raised by a manipulative mother with serious mental health issues who impersonated you to your friends and lied about your absent father. • Now at 29, you're isolated, your sister won't speak to you, and mom has vanished. 
Can you rebuild trust — and yourself — after so much damage?Your partner is loving, attentive, and supportive, but he's hiding alcohol and nicotine habits, and his lies trigger your past trauma from being cheated on. • Add in a cancer-stricken cat, job loss, and 600+ rejected applications, and you're in survival mode. 
Where do you even begin to untangle this?You and your mom swapped social media feeds and discovered just how different your political echo chambers are — and how engineered that division really is. • Now you want to burst your filter bubble and find balanced news sources. 
But in today's algorithm-driven media landscape, is that even possible?

1259: Mad Mother's Lies Sever Tenuous Family Ties | Feedback Friday

Wisdom isn't about what you know — it's what you actually do. Author Ryan Holiday breaks down why virtue requires action, not just good intentions. 

Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1258

What We Discuss with Ryan Holiday:

Wisdom isn't knowledge — it's the consistent application of knowledge when nobody's watching. • Ryan distinguishes between knowing something intellectually and actually living it. You can memorize every Stoic principle ever written, but if you don't apply those lessons when you're stressed, angry, or tempted, you don't possess wisdom — you just own some expensive bookshelf decorations.
Reading is a legitimate superpower that lets you download decades of human experience in hours. • Books give you access to conversations with the greatest minds across history — people you could never meet, asking questions you'd never think to ask. It's not about collecting titles; it's about systematically absorbing hard-won lessons from people who already made the mistakes.
The Dunning-Kruger effect explains why fools rarely doubt themselves while the wise remain perpetually curious. • True wisdom requires intellectual humility — acknowledging the vast ocean of what you don't know. The loudest voices in any room are usually the least informed, while genuine experts understand their knowledge has limits.
Ego is wisdom's silent assassin — it convinces you that you've already arrived when the journey never actually ends. • Ryan's refusal to obsessively check book rankings isn't false modesty; it's strategic protection against letting external validation corrupt the creative process. Soaking up applause feels good but produces nothing new.
Treat learning as a lifelong practice: absorb knowledge as if you'll live forever, but act with the urgency of someone who might not see tomorrow. • This ancient Latin wisdom reframes curiosity as non-negotiable and action as time-sensitive — a powerful combination that turns passive information consumption into meaningful, immediate application.
 • And much more...

Kratom: Legal high or dangerous addiction? Nick Pell breaks down this gas station opioid alternative here on Skeptical Sunday!

Welcome to Skeptical Sunday, a special edition of The Jordan Harbinger Show where Jordan and a guest break down a topic that you may have never thought about, open things up, and debunk common misconceptions. This time around, we’re joined by writer and researcher Nick Pell!

Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1257

On This Week's Skeptical Sunday:

Kratom is coffee's rebel cousin with a split personality. • This plant from the coffee family produces contradictory effects based on dose: low amounts deliver stimulant energy, while high doses act as a mild opioid mimicking weak Vicodin.
Daily high-dose kratom use (10+ grams) creates opioid-like addiction. • Withdrawal symptoms mirror opioid withdrawal but milder: anxiety, muscle aches, insomnia, and flu-like symptoms lasting a week or more with minimal medical support.
Kratom exists in regulatory limbo due to supplement laws. • DSHEA (1994) treats it as food, not a drug, requiring no FDA approval. This creates quality control nightmares with zero potency or purity standards across products.
Scientific research on kratom is scandalously sparse. • Most knowledge comes from Reddit posts and YouTube videos rather than rigorous studies, leaving a potential opioid-replacement tool completely unstudied despite addiction crisis.
Informed decision-making beats fear or hype. • Research dosage, sources, and risks before trying any substance. Understanding how kratom works empowers you to make smarter choices about whether it fits your needs or should be avoided entirely.

1256: Cheatin' Heart Yearns for Return to the Start | Feedback Friday

The same tactics that con artists use to manipulate you can be used to build trust. Dr. Abbie Maroño explains the psychology of ethical social engineering. 

Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1255

What We Discuss with Dr. Abbie Maroño:

Manipulation vs. Influence: It's all about intention. • The same psychological tactics can be used for good or evil. The difference? Manipulation disregards harm to others and exploits fear, while influence builds mutual benefit and makes people 
want • to collaborate with you. Con artists use manipulation because it's faster — but ethical influence wins every time over the long term.
Scammers weaponize your emotions to bypass critical thinking. • When emotions are activated, your prefrontal cortex — the brain's logic center — gets overridden. That's why con artists use artificial urgency ("only 24 hours left!") and exclusivity ("just for you"). They only need to 
appear • trustworthy, not actually 
be • it, because you'll act before you can verify.
Shame is the silent weapon that keeps victims quiet. • The reason so many scam victims never report what happened isn't denial, it's embarrassment. Shame becomes its own prison, preventing people from seeking help or warning others. This silence protects predators and perpetuates cycles of exploitation.
Short-term thinking is the con artist's best friend. • Manipulators prey on our psychological bias toward immediate rewards. Getting $100 now 
feels • more valuable than $150 later — even when it isn't. This "survival mode" mentality keeps people chasing quick wins rather than building something sustainable.
To protect yourself, remember that other people's emotions usually have nothing to do with you. • When someone pushes your buttons or creates pressure, pause and recognize it for what it is: a tactic, not a personal attack. Shelving your emotional reaction keeps your critical thinking intact — and that's your best defense against manipulation and your greatest asset in any negotiation.

1255: Abbie Maroño | Mastering Persuasion with Social Engineering

Your fertility might be the canary in your body's coal mine. Urologist Dr. Justin Houman explains why this matters way beyond making babies.

Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1254

What We Discuss with Dr. Justin Houman:

Male fertility is a diagnostic window into overall health. • Low sperm counts correlate with cardiovascular disease, metabolic dysfunction, hormonal imbalances, and even earlier mortality. Your reproductive system is essentially sending you a biological memo about the state of your entire body.
Varicoceles (varicose veins of the testicles) are one of the most underdiagnosed yet treatable causes of male infertility • , low testosterone, and testicular pain. They cause blood to pool and overheat the testicles, and most men never know they have them because general practitioners rarely check for them during routine physicals.
TRT (testosterone replacement therapy) shuts down natural testosterone and sperm production • — and once you start, you essentially can't stop. Before jumping on the TRT train, explore alternatives like addressing vitamin deficiencies, improving sleep, and using medications that stimulate natural production instead.
Erectile dysfunction isn't just a bedroom problem — it's often the first warning sign of cardiovascular disease. • The same arterial issues that cause heart attacks show up in penile blood flow first, making your erection quality a surprisingly accurate early warning system for your heart health.
The foundations of long-term hormonal and sexual health are remarkably simple • : consistent strength training, quality sleep, stress management, and whole foods. Starting in your twenties and thirties, these habits build the infrastructure that keeps your systems running smoothly for decades to come.
 • And much more...

1254: Justin Houman | Wiggling Out of the Male Fertility Crisis

Users are falling in love with and losing their minds to AI. Journalist Kashmir Hill exposes shocking recent cases of chatbot-induced psychosis and suicide.

Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1227

What We Discuss with Kashmir Hill:

AI chatbots are having serious psychological effects on users • , including manic episodes, delusional spirals, and mental breakdowns that can last hours, days, or months.
Users are experiencing "AI psychosis" • — an emerging phenomenon where vulnerable people become convinced chatbots are sentient, fall in love with them, or spiral into dangerous delusions.
Tragic outcomes have occurred • , including a Belgian man with a family who took his own life after six weeks of chatting, believing his family was dead and his suicide would save the planet.
AI chatbots validate harmful thoughts • — creating dangerous feedback loops for people with OCD, anxiety, or psychosis, potentially destabilizing those already predisposed to mental illness.
Stay skeptical and maintain perspective • — treat AI as word prediction machines, not oracles. Use them as tools like Google, verify important information, and prioritize real human relationships over AI interactions.
