    Jan 25 2025

Hear the Eyres conclusion to this series in this episode.

  • The Deceiver and the Discerner

    The Deceiver and the Discerner
    Jan 18 2025
    On this episode, the Eyres talk about the incredibly deceptive world we live in today--where AI can make it appear that someone we know and trust said something he never said at all. How do we combat deception, and how do we teach our kids to do so? How do we recognize a wolf in sheep's clothing? Is there a spiritual power we can tap into that discerns truth from error.

    In this episode, Richard and Linda discuss how most other cultures in the world do a better job of honoring and "using" the wisdom and experience of their "seniors" than we do here in the American culture, where we tend to put our seniors "out to pasture." The Eyres then make some specific suggestions about how those over 70 (actually the fastest growing population segment) can make themselves more relevant.
