29.1.2026 title: Contagious Corruption channel: this jungian life description (partial): "Join Jungian analysts Deb, Joe, and Lisa as they discuss the psychology of corruption, reveal how power quietly rewires the ego, and share what to watch for when certainty starts feeling addictive. They explain how trust erodes when bestowed power turns into private gain, why psychological inflation makes you feel superhuman while your consciousness dims, how certainty becomes a drug, and how fear and status games turn communities into us-versus-them. They discuss why power itself is neutral, how it goes underground when you pretend you don't have any, and what it looks like to build checks and balances, in your relationships, in your workplace, and in your own head. Finally, they discuss: * The Heartless Giant fairytale * Purity fantasies that fuel splitting * Shadow-making price of consciousness. * The alchemical search for the incorruptible substance, from gold that never tarnishes to the Garden of Eden (where losing innocence might be the price of consciousness.)" first listen was yesterday, listening to it for the second time now. heads up: when it comes to the dream interpretation segment at the end, which they do every episode, they kinda really hit the dream submitter in a way ive never heard them hit anyone before. ~i understand the instinct to do so~ but i really dont think they should've cos he is a listener, as in, they are in a place of esteem to him and this is a public thing with a pretty big audience. idk, i just think a wack like that is pretty harsh like is he gonna walk away now underwriting his dreams to overcompensate forevermore? and for what.

"I Don't Want to Wait" is a song written, recorded, and produced by American singer-songwriter Paula Cole. Cole wrote the song in mid-1996 and released it as second single from her second studio album, This Fire (1996), on October 14, 1997. Paula Cole wrote "I Don't Want to Wait" at her spinet piano in her apartment in New York City during mid-1996. Described by Cole as "a very personal song", she wrote the song when she realized that her grandfather was near the end of his life. The song is about him and his wife, and specifically the relationship between their life and Cole's who realized "I don't want to make some of these mistakes. I really hope I don't". Cole has described the central question of the chorus as "Do you say yes to life? Do you embrace the things that give you joy? Or do you cower back in fear or by culture's machinations keeping you small?" via wikipedia
