The Wisdom Tradition | a philosophy podcast – Details, episodes & analysis

In this episode, host Alex Sachon launches a new series on the topic of Technocracy, covering its origins, its growing influence in our economic and governance systems, and its potential as a replacement for capitalism. 

The material in this series is extracted from Chapter 6 of Alex's recent book "The Coming World Nation," which links the rise of technocracy with the motion toward global government and the pending revelation of a profound energy revolution. 

The episode also includes updates on upcoming projects, including a new nonprofit and new Manly P. Hall "Study Guide" series. 

The written article that this podcast is based on is available to read at thewisdomtradition.substack.com. See also Alex's website: www.alexsachon.com.

In this episode, host Alex Sachon critically examines key points made by US foreign policy expert John Mearsheimer in his recent interview with Tucker Carlson. This interview focuses partly on the current situation in Gaza and partly on the perplexing nature of the US-Israel relationship. 

While Alex appreciates Mearsheimer’s detailed historical analysis of Israel’s motivations for its policies toward Gaza and his deep knowledge of the U.S.-Israel "special relationship", he fundamentally disagrees with Mearsheimer’s nation-state-centric approach and his emphasis on ideology as the main driver of U.S. foreign policy. Instead, Alex argues that only by understanding the U.S. as a global empire—driven by control, centralization, and technological dominance—can we make sense of its actions in the Middle East. The discussion highlights both the strengths and limitations of Mearsheimer’s perspective, offering a broader framework for understanding current events.

Table of Contents

00:00 – Introduction: Framing the Debate

03:32 – Clip 1: The U.S. Foreign Policy Establishment
Alex critiques Mearsheimer’s focus on ideology and the nation-state, arguing for a broader model that distinguishes between America as a nation-state and as a global empire.

04:34 – Clip 2: The U.S.-Israel Relationship
Mearsheimer discusses the influence of the Israel lobby and U.S. military support. Alex agrees with the factual analysis at the nation-state level but insists the real driver is the empire’s need for control, not just lobbying or ideology.

08:33 – Clip 3: The Two-State Solution
Mearsheimer claims the U.S. wants peace and a two-state solution. Alex strongly disagrees, arguing that ongoing conflict serves U.S. imperial interests, especially regarding the petrodollar system.

10:24 – Clip 4: The Greater Israel Project and Ethnic Cleansing
Mearsheimer details the historical roots and current execution of the Greater Israel agenda. Alex praises this clarity but adds that the American Empire’s structure enables these dynamics.

17:58 – Clip 5: Why Israel Wants Gaza
Mearsheimer explains the strategic and ideological motivations for controlling Gaza and neighboring regions. Alex acknowledges the accuracy of the historical analysis and adds economic and geostrategic factors.

22:57 – Conclusion
Alex summarizes the need for a more dynamic model of American power to understand Middle East geopolitics and global events.

In this episode, I break down a classic Manly P. Hall lecture titled "Learning to Know the Dweller in the Flesh". It's all about understanding the philosophy of the Self (or Higher Self), how it relates to the physical personality, and what we can do to align with it.

I start the episode off by reading a short essay I published a couple weeks ago on my Substack called "The Real You".  If you don't follow me there, you should: thewisdomtradition.substack.com

In this episode I review a recent article of F. William Engdahl on the topic of geopolitics, the financial markets, the pandemic, and "The Great Reset" initiative. This discussion directly follows up a previous episode (ep. 9a) from August, where I delved into a March 2020 article of Michael Hudson on systemic fragility in the financial system. This episode also touches on material from the previous few episodes on the science underlying coronavirus and what it tells us about the larger forces at work behind this global operation.

Note: for podcast listeners, I recorded this to post on YouTube, since my previous episode got blocked on copyright grounds. It rehashes the main set of arguments I laid out in my previous two videos (but doesn't feature any clips).

From my YouTube description:
On my podcast "The Wisdom Tradition" I recently posted an episode where I broke down several clips from Dr. Peter McCullough's recent blockbuster interview on the Joe Rogan Experience podcast. This video got blocked from YouTube for copyright reasons, so I made this video (without any clips) that goes over my main take-away from the episode. This video is intended to pair with my previous video, which goes into Dr. Tom Cowan's recent ebook that deconstructs virology's claim of virus isolation.

Hey everyone, in this episode I do a deep-dive into Dr. Peter McCullough's recent blockbuster interview on Joe Rogan's podcast. I edited out several clips from the interview and share those, while offering detailed analysis on the content of what he is saying. 

This episode follows my previous episode, which is on the issue of virus isolation. I start things off in this current episode by comparing Dr. McCullough's approach with the ideas discussed in that previous episode.

A video version of this will be available on  Rumble or Odysee (links available soon). Also, check out my store - a new zine is coming soon and your patronage would be much appreciated. See also my PayPal donation link at my website.

Thank you, - Alex

In this episode I analyze  one of the key topics discussed in Dr. Tom Cowan's recent ebook "Breaking the Spell": virology's claim that it has successfully accomplished "virus isolation" for the various virus strains that they claim are responsible for the numerous disease epidemics that have occurred throughout recent  history, including COVID, AIDS, polio, and many others. 

As we will be exploring, it is far from conclusive that an entity called a "virus" actually exists in nature. Likely, virologists are mistaking "viruses" for  "exosomes" - packets of genetic information released as part of the natural process of cell sickness and death. These particles (exosomes) emerge from a cell  after the cell has already been sickened. They are not the cause of the cell being sickened; it is being sickened from other factors and is emitting the exosomes (mistaken as viruses) as an inevitable consequence of its sickness. 

The main idea here is that viruses are not disease-causing agents; they are not the cause of illness but a symptom or effect of a cell that has become sick for other reasons. Blaming illness on  contagious viruses is a red herring, one that distracts us from seeking out the true cause of disease.

The question of what is actually causing tody's global epidemic of illness is a topic that many researchers are still exploring. But you don't have to have that answer completely figured out in order to disqualify other theories which have been proposed to explain the disease outbreak but which, upon consideration, have failed to persuasively argue its scientific case. In other words, we can falsify or "nullify" a theory that has been proposed without having already worked out what the correct explanation is. All we need to do is apply the scientific method to the theory; if it is not able to successfully pass through the requirements of the method, then the theory is 'nullified' - it is shown to be invalid.

As it turns out, the virus theory of contagion does not pass the scientific method - it has been nullified; it does not qualify as a valid scientific hypothesis to explain how and why disease epidemics emerge in human beings. One or more other explanations are needed; the virus theory is done for. 

A further point must be considered: as long as we keep spending all our attention on viruses, we restrict and distract ourselves from going on the quest of finding the epidemic's true cause (which may be dynamic and include numerous variables, rather than just one). By fixating on viruses, we never give ourselves the chance to develop proper prevention or treatment protocols based on an accurate diagnosis of what's really afflicting people. 

If you enjoyed this episode and are interested hearing more explorations of this topic, check out my podcast archive where I have other related episodes. I'm also working on a full written report on the topic, one which will factor in Manly Hall's teachings on the metaphysics of human health.

In this episode, I review a 1941 article of Manly Hall's that explores the intersection between news, current events, and philosophy. In particular, it explores the notion of how, through an appreciation of Law, we can learn and grow through contemplation of the often-depressing reports we see in the news media.

Thanks for listening! More soon. - Alex

Hey everyone, 

This is the last video in a series on Atlantis and the 7 ages of Man, which I'm doing in support of my new zine/study guide on the topic. In this video, I present a series of clips from Graham Hancock, Randall Carlson, and John Anthony West on the topic of Atlantis. I then offer commentary on these clips based on the teachings of Manly P. Hall.

This episode follows up on my previous episode, where we discussed esoteric philosophy's method of interpreting race. In this episode, we hone in on the current age, - the 5th of 7 ages - in this current cycle of existence. As Manly P. Hall writes, the evolutionary arc of our current age is to move from "race" to "nation". In this episode, we explore what this means. Thanks for tuning in! Check out my Atlantis zine to help support this channel - it is much appreciated! Cheers, - Alex
