Newsletter: The Post-Election Need to Move Forward With Energy!
Big Tech Influenced Minds via Social Media and AI
This week’s Influence Continuum podcast features Harvard/ MIT humanist chaplain Greg Epstein, author of the new book TECH Agnostic, How Technology Became the World’s Most Powerful Religion, and Why It Desperately Needs a Reformation. It is a timely talk that I know you will find fascinating and compelling. On the same subject, I recommend you check out the recent Your Undivided Attention podcast, discussing chatbots and AI. A 13-year-old fell in love with an “empathetic” character.ai chatbot and took his life. Host Tristan Harris mentions my work at 9:18, but you’ll want to listen to the whole episode, especially if you are a parent. Unfortunately, the billionaire tech owners don’t want any regulations (like data privacy) or holding their platforms responsible for the harm they cause young people.
I am having a whole week of interviews. Last night, I appeared on WPKN’s Counterpoint Radio, where I spoke with host Scott Harris about my book, The Cult of Trump, the election outcome, and where we go from here. I am in the first segment of the show.
Tomorrow, I will be hosting a multi-social media livestream from 3 to 4 p.m. EST; I welcome everyone to tune in with questions and comments! On Thursday, I will give a talk and answer questions on a YouTube livestream hosted by the National Capital Area Skeptics; you can tune in at 7 p.m. EST on their YouTube channel.
Dear friends of Dr. Steven Hassan,
As you know, we have been offering all of our material free until the election as we wanted anyone interested to have access to our amazing Substack materials. Steve has been funding everything through his consultations, and we wish to develop more robust financial resources to implement the initiatives we believe need to be done worldwide.
Starting Thursday, November 15th, Dr. Hassan's Substack will return to ask folks to support Freedom of Mind. Dr. Hassan has dedicated himself for years to exposing harmful influence tactics and promoting freedom of mind. His work relies on the support of readers like you rather than relying on corporate sponsorship. By subscribing, you’re supporting his mission and joining the community that helps him continue to create quality content that empowers and informs.
So, please consider supporting us—subscribe today and keep this important work alive and accessible! Let us know if you wish to volunteer to help spread the word and cannot afford $8 monthly. We have already been helping deserving folks who want to learn and contribute. Of course, if you are aware of larger grants by organizations, we welcome more substantial contributions. Steve wishes to do more live streaming, training, writing books, and organizing.
On this episode of the Influence Continuum, I talked with Greg M. Epstein, author of Tech Agnostic, a work described as “How Technology Became the World’s Most Powerful Religion, and Why It Desperately Needs a Reformation.”

As always, please let us know what you think about these pieces or what you’d like to see us discuss in the future. Thanks so much!
Well looks like the majority of Americans have spoken out about needing real change in the US by voting for Trump. Great, now he can get to work putting truth and justice back in place in Big Pharma, Big Ag with RFK jr. and bring those committing heinous sex trafficking crimes to justice using his chosen border Czar. None of this would be happening if the Dems were in control. Meanwhile, Biden is trying to destroy American by approving nuclear capable missiles to be launched by American soldiers in Ukraine and by sending £1 billion to African in aid when Americans are not adequately provided for in N Carolina after Hurricane Helene. From a Brit who sees exactly what is happening over there
