The Measuring Stick of Nature

The Measuring Stick of Nature

Author: The Greengage explores the arcane connections between nature; mind, and science. September 13, 2026 Duration: 1:02:04

What happens when what we are told no longer matches what we observe?

In this conversation with Crrow777, we explore the difference between belief and knowing and the difficult territory between skepticism, direct experience, and certainty.

Crrow traces this philosophy through his telescope work, independent media, language, social engineering, symbolism, technology, spirituality, and the natural world. His approach is less about supplying final answers than remaining willing to challenge assumptions, examine evidence, and say I don’t know when the cause of something remains uncertain.

From the changing meaning of words to advertising psychology, AI, data, censorship, and the architecture of digital life, the conversation asks how much of what we perceive as reality has already been framed for us before we encounter it.

We also move toward older ways of knowing: etymology, alchemy, correspondence, cyclical time, meditation, and nature itself. Crrow describes alchemy not as fantasy, but as a philosophy and natural science measured against what nature permits.

🔍 In this conversation, we explore:

* “Belief is the enemy of knowing”

* Crrow’s telescope work and the lunar wave

* Observation, evidence, and uncertainty

* Language, etymology, and symbolism

* Social engineering and Edward Bernays

* Advertising, colour psychology, and (the) logos

* AI, data, prediction, and behavioural influence

* Free speech, platforms, and self-censorship

* Nature as a measuring stick for truth

* Alchemy, correspondence, and cyclical time

* Spirituality, meditation, and consciousness

* What human beings may need to preserve in an increasingly technological world

Near the end, Crrow reflects on a period of his life when everything began to feel false or manipulated. What gave him a way through was not another institution or ideology, but the natural world as a reference point against which other claims could be tested.

Perhaps that is the deeper thread running through the conversation:

Skepticism matters.

But skepticism needs a ground.

The map can guide us.

The territory still has to be encountered.

Titled thegreengage exploring the hidden connections between nature; mind, and science., this podcast is a deep and meandering investigation into the subtle threads linking our inner worlds with the natural one. Hosted by greengages, who personally voices and researches each episode, the series uses specific plants and compounds-cannabis, psilocybin, and ayahuasca (DMT)-as profound entry points. Rather than offering straightforward guides, each installment stands as its own island of thought, weaving together rigorous neuroscience and chemistry with the broader contexts of anthropology, history, and philosophy. The central, lingering question explores whether understanding the physical makeup of matter can truly help us decipher the mysteries of the mind. By examining these substances as case studies, the podcast delves into the very neurochemical foundations of thought and perception. It’s a place where science meets the arcane, asking how molecules from the natural world actively shape and alter human consciousness. Listeners will find a thoughtfully paced, naturally researched journey that avoids simple answers, preferring instead to illuminate the complex, often hidden relationships between the brain’s chemistry and the expansive experience of being.
