Do you feel that games can get stale? Well, that might be because of these two things! Taking an anthropological approach and analyzing the concepts of ethnocentrism and cultural relativism, might help you realize why!

Rob McConnell Interviews - JOSEPH LAYCOCK - Investigating the World of Vampires Are vampires purely creatures of myth—or do they represent something deeper within culture, history, and human belief? In this fascinating episode, Joseph Laycock takes us into the world of vampires, not as supernatural beings lurking in the shadows, but as a subject of serious academic study. Drawing from his research into religion, folklore, and subcultures, Laycock explores how vampire legends have evolved over time and how they continue to influence modern society. From ancient myths to contemporary communities that identify with vampirism in symbolic or lifestyle terms, he examines what these beliefs reveal about identity, ritual, and the human imagination. This episode goes beyond the gothic stereotype, offering a nuanced look at how stories of vampires intersect with religion, psychology, and cultural expression. Why do these legends endure across centuries and continents? And what can they teach us about fear, transformation, and the boundaries between life and death? Join us for a thought-provoking and enlightening conversation that explores the vampire not just as a figure of legend—but as a powerful symbol embedded in human culture and consciousness.

Kinship Without Blood: What Ancient DNA Can’t See Genetics is rewriting prehistory. It is also quietly misleading us about what a family is.

Ancient DNA can map family trees with precision. But in prehistoric graves, many “families” weren’t biologically related at all. Kinship wasn’t just blood. It was something people made. #Archaeology #AncientDNA #Anthropology www.anthropology.net/p/kinship-wi...

1. THE HIDDEN LAND OF ORIGIN Page 9 For that matter, even that idea of myelination is based upon the idea that we have to have the thinking and rational kind of consciousness that we think we have as adults in order for learning to happen. Again, another prejudice and self-congratulating-to-intellectuals presumption. Quite ridiculous it is to assume that, when we know that even one-celled animals and inch worms are able to learn from their experience; clearly they have memory. Yet we do not go putting them to the test of whether they are myelinated or not. *sarcasm* Nonetheless, we insist on this ignorance about our awareness in the womb because, hell, we do not remember it! So it must not have happened. This manages to forget that just about everyone wakes up in the morning and immediately forgets their dreams, thereby making them inaccessible. Yet when we remember them, we know that not only were we conscious and problem-solving during those dreams, but we had memory in them that caused some of the events in them to be decided out of events that happened earlier in them. More clearly, we thought and made decisions in our dreams based on earlier events in them.

Oh, yes, some of you are thinking that what I am saying is so unfair and silly because we know, supposedly, that humans do not have consciousness before birth. We know this without a doubt. Why, it is clear as a bell that consciousness is magically “turned on,” like a switch, upon release into the midwife’s or doctor’s hands; perhaps upon the smack on a butt, which flicks on the screen of awareness; perhaps the first agonizing breath or the cutting of the umbilical cord, which opens the previously dormant mind. And clearly we do not see how silly it is to think such things. The Vanity of Human Consciousness We further add to our disinclination to see our existences before birth, let alone the experiences and memories from that time, with bogus assumptions shrouded in scientific jargon: Science once affirmed that consciousness was not possible before birth, for the myelination of the neurons in the brain had not been completed. Why we would think that is anyone’s guess, for when we actually checked to see if that was true, we discovered it was not. The only thing myelination of nerves does is speed up the transmission of nerve impulses. Sure looks like an assumption was jumped to, and then universally accepted, because it fit a pervasive prejudice as well as a desire to beat back knowledge of that time of our lives.

I have yet to see it otherwise, outside of the field of prenatal and perinatal psychology. The Fallacy of Nature versus Nurture This is commonly thought of as the “nature versus nurture” question, and always is it framed around an inquiry as to whether something is the result of after-birth experiences. And if not, then heredity is said to be the root of them. However, this understanding amazingly leaves out the existence we had in the womb, with all of its profuse, varied, and complex experience, prior to us emerging into the light where we could be seen. Now, what does this have to do with the Veils of perception as found in mythology? Well, here as well the thinking has been that whatever is universally existing as patterns of human myth and belief — if not a product of our lives after we are born — are attributable to “instinct” and their expression as archetypes, as Jung would have it; to “isomorphs,” as gestalt psychologist Wolfgang Kohler would see it; to “elementary ideas,” as put forth by Adolf Bastian (1868); or to… 1.
