Jamin and Dr. Aaron Adair explore what’s real, what’s misunderstood, and what’s just bad pop-science mythology. They cover quantum mechanics, Hilbert’s Hotel, the structure of infinity, why some galaxies recede faster than light, what the observable universe actually is, and why our favorite analogies often fail. If you’ve ever wondered what’s actually known—and what’s still a mystery—this episode is a rare mix of clarity, humility, and mind-bending scale.

Jamin talks with Kristen Ulmer about what anxiety actually is, why fear isn’t the enemy, and how intimacy—not resistance—is the key to emotional freedom and peak performance. Kristen shares insights from her years as the world’s top female extreme skier and her decades studying Zen and fear work. A challenging and transformative conversation about the stories we tell ourselves, the emotions we avoid, and what’s possible if we stop waging war on fear.

A rare conversation with Dr. James L. McGaugh, one of the world’s foremost memory scientists. We discuss the mechanics of memory, why retrieval is the real mystery, what HSAM tells us about autobiographical storage, and how emotion shapes (and distorts) what we remember.

Jamin Coller engages with Jamie Reed, whose life-story crosses the boundaries of faith, ideology, identity, and medical ethics. Jamie worked as a case manager at a high-profile pediatric gender clinic and later came forward publicly with serious concerns about the treatment process. Her path from advocacy to whistle-blower raises profound questions: What does it mean to have conviction? How do we respond when what we believed pushes us into discomfort? And when is change not just acceptable, but necessary?

Biologist Dawn Maslar joins the conversation to discuss what love really is from a neuroscience and evolutionary standpoint. We talk attraction, bonding hormones, why the “honeymoon phase” always ends, why long-term love requires decision-making rather than chemistry, and how mismatched timing can sabotage relationships.

Anthony Magnabosco, the public face of Street Epistemology, joins Jamin Coller to discuss what it means to have conversations that don’t devolve into debates.

They also discuss the role of personal experience, emotional reasoning, and the challenge of questioning our own certainty. streetepistemology.com YouTube.com/@magnabosco210 RecoveringFromReligion.org More from Jamin: IfImReallyHonest.com JaminColler.com/iirh_Superfans #IfImReallyHonest #TeamPossiblyWrong

In this episode, host Jamin Coller interviews cult intervention veteran Patrick Ryan.

Patrick draws on decades of field work, his association with People Leave Cults, and his contributions to cultic studies via ICSA.

Jim Rutt—technologist, complexity scientist, and former CEO of Network Solutions—joins If I’m Really Honest to talk consciousness, AI, religion, and the mind’s capacity for illusion.

De-programmer and Cult Education Institute founder Rick Alan Ross lays out the playbook of high-control groups: recruitment funnels, “loaded language,” thought-reform tactics, and why some movements with benign origins turn coercive.

Rabbi Tovia Singer joins to walk through core Jewish readings of the Hebrew Bible: what messianic prophecies actually say, why the first century looks like the opposite of a messianic age, how genealogies and the Jeconiah curse collide with virgin-birth claims, and why Deuteronomy 30 and Ezekiel 18 undercut the idea that forgiveness requires a mediator. We also dig into the order of the Tanakh vs. the Christian Old Testament, “New Covenant” language in Hebrews, what “Chosen People” means, Noahide law, and the Nation vs. State distinction.
