Side Effects of ghost powers

Hey all! I’m writing a DP fic called Side Effects exploring the physical and later mental/emotional impact of Danny initially getting his ghost powers. As an ICU stepdown nurse for 3 years, I wanted to view Danny’s accident through a slightly more realistic, medical lens.

Note: I had to fudge a good amount because Danny really should have fucking died and there’s no getting around that.

I do recommend you read the fic first before reading this as there’s some spoilers. Or if you don’t care you can read on. So! The two factors we are looking at regarding the accident are: ecto-contamination secondary to electrocution.

Electrocution

I was forced to downplay a lot of the severe symptoms of electrocution because, again, a bad enough shock will kill someone. My hand-wavey explanation is simply that the portal didn’t activate at a deadly voltage so he got a good shock but not enough to be fatal. I guess.

Muscle weakness/spasms: intermittent muscle spasms are common from shocks, muscles being activated by electricity and reacting to the lingering impulses. Danny’s is transient but quite annoying for a time. But his muscles are gonna be weak and achy af for days if not weeks after from the massive contractions caused by the shock and the after effects. Sensory issues: lots of things can cause nerve damage, including electrocution so Danny is experiencing some pretty severe neuropathy primarily manifesting with numbness and tingling throughout his body. His entire skin and peripheral nervous system got fried so while its mostly numb it’s also super sensitive for a bit of time causing massive pain and discomfort from your body tingling like a thousand bee stings. It’s worst in the hours after the accident but is something that never quite really goes back to normal both from the electrocution and his ghost half taking over and generally dulling his sense of touch.

Hearing/Vision loss: Like skin/nerves, your sensory organs in your eyes and ears would be affected by such a severe and allover electric shock. Danny has some blurred and occasionally double vision from his eyes not properly receiving/understanding input. Hearing loss is common following electricity given how delicate the inner ear is but I just give Danny some nasty tinnitus (ear ringing) for a bit. This inner ear problem also massively throws off his balance when he’s trying to move post accident. These factors are exacerbated by the ecto-contamination and mostly fade in the days following the accident before going away as his superhuman healing kicks in.

Heart Arrhythmia: an irregular heartbeat caused by the electrical impulses that control basal heartrate not coordinating they they should for a variety of reasons, in this case, massive electric shock. Danny would be somewhat aware of it, its not exactly painful exactly but you can just feel that your heart isn’t beating right. Secondary side effects are dizziness, chest pain, fatigue and shortness of breath. This resolves almost entirely when Danny stabilizes

Cognitive issues: Danny got his brains a little scrambled in addition to his molecules being rearranged. The first third of the story Danny is very clearly NOT thinking straight and Tucker/Sam should not have left him alone. Shocks can cause things like irrational emotional behaviors from hormone release along with memory loss and depression. He constantly waxes and wanes in mood and opinions on what to do in the story and never comes to a true decision that, damn lucky for him, worked out on its own.

Ecto-Contamination

Alright so Danny got massively shocked, sucks right but people live through that all the time. Ecto-contamination is more tricky (not only cause its made up and I had to think about what symptoms it would theoretically produce) but because the effects are more life threatening. It’s also irreversible, once he was contaminated it was only something that could be survived not cured.

So I theorized that Danny got shocked by the accident and was slowly dying of ecto-contamination and was pretty much clinically dead for a brief moment there, the death was enough for the large quantity of ectoplasm in him to immediately coalesce into a ghost (Phantom). So Danny was mostly dead but not quite, I’ve coded and brought back enough people to know it can be reversed somewhat. Danny becomes Phantom but the sudden stable formation of the ectoplasm into what its supposed to be, a ghost, caused his body to stop fighting the ectoplasm as a foreign invader and become part of the self. His core finished forming in his chest and his body started back up again, his ghost safely nestled in his once again living body as he slowly comes to grips with his actual death experience.

Nausea/Vomiting: I likened the idea of ecto-contamination to radiation poisoning, something that is essentially the antithesis to life. One of the first symptoms of radiation is n/v which is also why it’s one of the first overt symptoms Danny has. He was heavily electrocuted/irradiated and his body wants to expunge it all. As for the ectoplasm/blood he vomits, that’s the next section.

Gastrointestinal (GI) Bleed: So I was a little mean here. When one vomits up blood (or in this case ectoplasm/blood mix) it has to come from somewhere and a lot of the times it’s a GI Bleed. These are nasty, they need to be either cauterized or surgically repaired not to mention replenishing the blood lost. Fanon says that ectoplasm is at least mildly corrosive to humans so it is here, as it’s bonding to him, it’s literally eating him very slowly from the inside out which is causing a great deal of his internal pain. It’s not enough to be immediately life threatening but would kill him eventually. He developed some nasty bleeding ulcers in his stomach which let in blood and ectoplasm which were expunged. Danny’s core formed overnight and began healing the damage it had previously been causing but Dan is still gonna be vomiting excess blood/ectoplasm not to mention having black, tarry stools for at least a few days afterwards.

Hypothermia/Tremors: Hypothermia is when the body hits 95F/35C which Danny is just above at the start of the chapter. Danny initially starts shaking really bad (rigors) but as his body temperature cools further his shaking slows and eventually stops, a sure sign that the body is rapidly losing the fight to hypothermia and will likely die soon without immediate intervention. This is caused not only by the ectoplasm but his ice core shakily starting to form inside of him. Once he fully turns half ghost his hypothermia doesn’t change but it just no longer negatively affects him (I say Danny hovers naturally around 96-95F/35-33C getting much colder as Phantom at baseline. His body still can be damaged by going too cold but that’s a whole other post.)

Incoherency/Hallucinations: I mentioned in the electrocution section that Danny is more than a little addled and the contamination didn’t help in that regard. Not only is he not thinking clearly but he’s also getting a little delirious and seeing things. Common hallucinations I see are: someone in the room watching you, things crawling on the walls, creeping shadows, you’re in the wrong place. I think its a solid 50/50 as far as Danny straight up hallucinating but also becoming more aware of natural ectoplasm that hangs around in the atmosphere. (And before anyone asks, yes Clockwork did come and visit, Danny just doesn’t remember)

Pain: Being electrocuted, irradiated, being dissolved slowly on the inside is enough to cause massive amounts of pain. Danny is 14, he doesn’t understand true pain and probably underestimated how much it would hurt. Once it got bad, it was almost paralyzing so it got to the point where even when he wanted to call for help, he couldn’t move or think past the horrible pain of his every molecule slowly dying and rearranging itself.

Weakness/Fatigue: I don’t really have anything much to add for this section that hasn’t been said in the others. Just the combination of all of the above meant Danny is so incredibly weak and fatigued, this will be problematic in the days and weeks following the accident as his body heals from the stress put on it. Poor boy was probably just getting past the worst of his symptoms by the time of the Lunch lady attack one month in.

Ghost instinct: Going off the medical rant for a minute to go into another aspect of the contamination present in the story, the idea of ectoplasm adding inherent ghostiness to Danny. Its common fanon that all ghosts (through ectoplasm) have their own unique code and language that is just omnipresent and instinctive. Such a massive, body altering dose of ectoplasm saw those things start to leech into Danny even before he became half ghost. The biggest is his fear of being seen, majority of ghosts are completely invisible and don’t want to be seen by the living. As Danny’s suffering and literally dying, he can’t bring himself to confess to his loved ones for very understandable reasons but also this ghostly instinct in the back of his head telling him to hide and get away. Other instincts are a strong attraction to the portal/Ghost Zone, lowkey being able to sense living people around him and a bit of an emotional dampener when Phantom.

#danny phantom #danny phantom meta #danny not only got his skinny ass electrocuted #but also the ghost equivalent of radiation poisoning #kid is lucky af he survived #this fic took so long to write bc!!! I kept adding in more symptoms and details #and I just do not have enough words to convey how horrible Danny would have felt at the height of his contamination #poor baby #he's a little better next chapter

Rika Kihira - Canon interview

original interview here.

Rika Kihira interviewed by Mika Noguchi

“I will spend this off-season being strict to myself so I can believe in myself at the Olympics.”

Rika Kihira, successfully landed the quad Salchow jump at the Japan Nationals. She finished in 7th place at the World Championship, but she had finished 2nd after her good performance for the SP.

She has turned this bitter experience into motivation for further improvement. And she has already started to move forward.

Q: You have entered Waseda University and enrolled in the department of Human Science this April. Is there any research field that you are interested in, or (do you have) a goal as a college student?

I have a strong desire to do any research that is related to my skating after all. That is the reason why I chose this specific field so I can use my research for my skating. Unfortunately, I couldn't attend the entrance ceremony because it was right after I had returned from the World Championship, and the classes have already started from April.

I enjoy studying about the relation of children’s health and environment to their athletic ability. Unlike adults, there are still some areas for children where their thinking does not function. So this is the area we analyze what kind of behaviours they would do and how do they improve their athletic ability.

Q: In terms of the environment for children’s physical activity, would you think it’s possible to apply your own life experience that you have been trying various sports from childhood?

I haven’t thought about making use of my childhood experience yet, but I feel that I am experimenting with my own body and that leads to my daily research. When I check my body condition such as fatigue, various movements and success rate of jumps and compare them to previous data, I often have my aha! moment by that. So I would like to do research that can be used for skating in future.

Q: The fact that you are experimenting with your own body is something that only top athletes can do. What kind of research do you want to apply to skating specifically?

After all, I want to think about my jumps theoretically. I'd like to do something like graphing and analyzing things that can be quantified, such as the changes of heart rate while skating the program, the difference between when I’m tired or energized, and how does the quality of sleep affect my performance—things like that.

If properly converted into data and accumulated, you can objectively see what you have experienced in the competition and then you can understand the reason and meaning of success and mistakes.

I haven't fully understood the university system yet, so I would like to look for an opportunity to find out how to conduct a study with my own body effectively.

Q: It has been an unusual season that you were training in Switzerland as your main training base in the middle of the pandemic.

There were times when I struggled to keep my motivation high. Because all the competitions I had planned to attend got cancelled until last December, I didn’t have any chance to show what I had been training for and I also didn’t get to do intense training.

There was also a time when I couldn't enjoy training because there had been no chance to feel a sense of accomplishment. But the training environment in Switzerland was very good in that I could naturally have a feeling of gratitude. I could somehow manage to let the difficult time go by with that feeling (of gratitude).

Q: It seems that your life in Switzerland gives you a very positive effect, doesn’t it Kihira-san?

I usually felt stressed before the competitions, thinking about the competitions all the time or connecting every single thing happening to negative feelings and thinking, “Oh...I don’t think I can make it at the competition either.” But now I feel that the current environment in Switzerland made me think more positively.

During the off season especially, the training was very difficult, so I didn't have to worry if I wasn't doing my best. Each day I started feeling a sense of accomplishment when I felt my whole body was exhausted (after the training). Although we had a very intense training menu, it wasn’t so difficult to push myself together with my friendly team mates while being surrounded by nature in Switzerland.

Q: You landed the quad Salchow jump for the first time at the Japan Nationals last December. With this success, was there any change to your mind about going into the World Championship?

It was difficult for me to gain confidence about myself so easily just because I had landed a quad jump for once. So I wasn't really able to feel excited for the World Championship. But when I arrived in Stockholm and entered the venue, I felt like "I've done what I could do and I want to show what I've been training in front of everyone naturally”.

Q: At Worlds, you landed triple Axel jump and had a good start with 2nd after SP.

I was determined to perform with gratitude for many people who supported me until now. I received all the support from my coaches, my fans, and my family. I had no choice but to show my gratitude there when I went to jump (the triple Axel). And I also wanted to confirm my love for figure skating by landing the jump successfully at the competition.

Q: Only a few female skaters have been able to do both triple Axel and other quad jumps. Do you find it (being able to jump 3A and quads) significantly difficult?

Actually, the triple Axel is more difficult to stabilize since it is a kind of jump that really depends on the ice condition. So the timing for the jump take-off may easily change because of the position of the blades or the softness of the ice.

And the quad Salchow on the other hand, I do feel it is relatively stable even at the different rinks. So I think that the triple Axel is a slightly unique jump.

Q: Is there any difficulty in balancing the two types of these difficult jumps?

I don't think the triple Axel is becoming [more] difficult after I've landed the quad Salchow. But as I practiced it more, I found that jumping triple Axel followed by quadruple Salchow in one program is difficult compared to just doing each jump alone.

I think the fact that there are only a few female skaters who can do both types of jumps is because they tend to get mixed up on how to use their body for each jump.

For me, if I continue my training everyday so that I can do run-through without any mistakes, there will be less difficulties to do these jumps.

Q: There were expectations for you to challenge the quad Salchow and the triple Axel for FP at the World Championship.

I was practicing the quad Salchow during the official practice in the morning practice on the day of the free program. But soon after the official practice, they switched the rink for FP from the sub rink to the main rink. (t/n: it seemed that official practice was held at the sub rink that was supposed to be used for FP.) Accordingly, I only had 6 minutes practice for the last chance to adjust myself to the ice. I thought I couldn’t make it in time so I decided to go with two triple Axels instead of a quad Salchow (and a triple Axel).”

It was difficult for me to adjust to the ice in just 6 minutes, but I think there will be such a situation at the Olympics. In order to jump the quad Salchow and the triple Axel at the competition, I really felt the importance of the training to adjust myself immediately in just 6 minutes.

Q: What kind of training do you want to do in order to adjust yourself and be able to jump both the quad and the triple Axel in just 6 minutes?

I was always checking my jumps starting from triples (and then quads) in order during 6 minutes practice, but at the World Championship, 6 minutes ended when I just finished checking my triple Axels twice.

As I’m including the quad jump into my program regularly, I feel that I need my triple jumps to be ready for the performance without having to check on them during the 6 minutes practice. I would like to do more training to increase the stability of triple jumps on a daily basis.

Q: You mentioned that you did well with your mental control at the World Championship.

Yes. I think I was able to relax rather than feel nervous. From my experience, I started to understand that I’m unable to perform well when I'm nervous, so I feel that I've figured out how to concentrate and relax clearly.

Q: Is it quite different from the way you concentrated before?

For example, if I’m getting nervous and wondering if I can really jump during the waiting time, I would move my whole face and say “A, I, U, E, O” to loosen my face muscles, and then I also laugh at myself. This is something that I do to turn my anxiety into excitement, and my nervousness into laughter.

Also, in order to avoid being nervous right before my performance, I usually skate with this image of all judges sitting in their position, and think “how would it be if this is the real competition?” during the official performance.

Q: After the World Championship, many of your comments were very positive, weren’t they?

I definitely think it’s better not to get depressed and think like, "I’m not good at everything.” And I’m very positive about the fact that I'd been training really hard to increase the stability of quad jumps for the competitions.

I remember that my body movement was better during the morning practice on FP day and my performance was better than SP.

And two days after the competition, my condition was getting better again and I could pull myself together. Of course I have the regret that I couldn't get a good result, but now I want to think about what was wrong and what was good, and move forward positively while reflecting on it.

Q: Please tell us about your programs in future. Your SP’s one-handed cartwheel was getting so much attention this season. Do you have any plans for the next season already?

Right now, I’m planning to keep my SP "The Fire Within", but I will change my FP "Baby, God Bless You" to something else. I really love my FP’s music this season, the birth of life was its theme. It was a beautiful program and also had good flow to it, so I tried to express the beauty of the music by a sense of speed of skating.

For the Olympics, I am planning to create a program with good speed and also some parts where I can go slow and take a good rest.

I really want to work hard on expressing the emotion through (my) facial expression so the audience will understand the program effortlessly, like a story being told, connected from beginning to end.

Also, it is important not to make any mistakes even if I put in difficult jumps, so I want to make sure to have a part where I can calmly adjust myself before going into the second half of the program. So I want my new program to have some sort of accent (for the rhythm of music and choreography).

Q: What kind of training do you want to do during this off-season?

First of all, intense body training. I’m planning to go over my competitive programs (SP&FS) when I will practice the show programs during the upcoming ice shows from spring till summer.

In order not to waste my time until the Beijing Olympics, I want to think about the Olympics every day and make sure to do intense training when my physical condition is good.

By spending the (off-season) time being strict to myself in this way, I can believe in myself by thinking, "I've been doing my best for the Olympics" at the moment of my performance at the Olympics. So I want to spend this off-season being strict for myself.

Q: For the Olympics, many people (media) will focus on how you would fight against the Russian skaters.

At the World Championship, I felt that the Russian skaters were able to perform their best at the very right timing (competition). But right now, I think there’s no need to compare myself with somebody else, the result from this competition came from the fact that I couldn’t perform what I could usually do.

It’s not that I have some parts that need to be improved compared to other people, but I could find a lot of my own challenges. I want to overcome them before going into the Olympics.

You may make a big mistake if you keep trying at random, just because you are way behind the Russian players.

If someone will do quintuple jumps, I wonder if I would go for quint jumps, that's not the case. I believe that it will eventually show in the scores if I keep doing what I can do right now.

I did feel that the Russian ladies skaters are strong, but I just want to calmly analyze my situation and keep doing my best every day.

In April 2021, remotely during the quarantine period after returning to Japan

thank you to Fukuhana for translating and to Sunny for proofreading and editing the interview.

***MISHANDLED WOMANHOOD & RAVISHED INTIMACY***

From Chris Bale I had a male client communicate to me today: “she’s so hard. I want her to be softer. It pisses me off when she is so hard. What do I do? I keep telling her that I need her to be softer and surrendered in her femininity, but nothing is changing.” You NEED her to be? Slow up brother! “Firstly, you being annoyed by her “hardness” as you put it, is only going to support more hardness.” I replied. There is nothing safe in your reactive judgment towards her current state of being. It says far more about you, than her in this moment. But also, I feel your pain! Lets break it down. —— UNDERSTANDING: A man who demands she be somewhere other than where she is at currently, is a man who is steering her further away from her expressive freedom and bliss. This is a man who does not know. He is shutting her down. But, its not his fault. There is not much assistance out in society for us as men, when it comes to relating with women in a healthy/supportive/polarizing/passionate way. A man who DOES know, understands that whatever his woman is experiencing, is just another ingredient in the “making” of love. Through his non-judgmental presence, he assists her in transmuting whatever emotions/trauma are seeking to clear - If he wants to. If he doesn’t want to, its best to leave her alone. Whats important to realize, is that she he is already “soft” by nature. Minus the fear, distrust, trauma patterns and overstimulated nervous-systems, we all are. If she is not willing to be receptive with you, there are parts of your being which she does not fully trust or feel safe with. (OR, she is deep in traumatic projecting, and it has nothing to do with you. She is so dis-regulated from past experiences, that she cannot find safety even within her own body.) An emotionally reactive and unclear man, is felt as a weak & untrustworthy man. Because he is. You don’t have to like it. It simply is what it is. I should know. Before arriving to my own work, I was deeply untrustworthy in my confusion and reactivity. Which led me to be grossly manipulative in my unhappiness. This is a pattern I see collectively though the immature masculine. —— FOR HER VULNERABILITY: You see, even if her mind wants to trust you, her body will never feel safe enough to fully open in your company; if you are unsafe. It will brace in your presence. There will be an energetic cocooning as a form of protection. Not because you are a bad man, but because there are too many parts of you which are unclear, uncertain, distracted and dispersive. This is unsafe for her on every level of love, surrender, and ravished-fuck. Men, you must realize to some degree what it means for her to be in a place of deep softness and receptivity with you. For you, it turns you on. For her, it’s risking life. Many times when I bring this up…men will laugh it up, and claim I am over-exaggerating. This lack of empathetic understanding will be clearly mirrored in his life with women. Deep physical & emotional intimacy calls on her to let go of control, which she has been forced to barricade up around herself, based on her past experiences with immature males - who said one thing, but went and done another. This is what you are asking when you request for her to “surrender” more. You are inviting her into absolute exposure. Based on your intentions and integrity, do you deserve her absolute exposure in this moment? Her absolute vulnerability is a privilege. Any humans vulnerability is a privilege. You are also wanting to literally insert a part of your erect body up inside of hers, in a way which allows you to have full control over how you move inside of her, in the most sensitive & receptive area of her entire physicality. On top of this, there is also the possibility of a new life being created. Which means her entire experience of life changes, and she is essentially tied to you through another human for the remainder of her time here. Is he trustworthy? Can I rely on him? Is he mature enough to be a father? Will he be there for me and our child? Does he have a vision? Will he disappear and leave me? - Just some possible questions which may arise within her experience of being receptive to you. These question may arise upon first laying eyes on you - physical intimacy need not even be involved for these thought patters to begin arising. So many women spend their intimate lives being poked, drilled, pounded, mounted and consumed s€xually - in a disconnected way. Where the man she is with is not actually present in his body with her. He is just doing her, to cum. Again, not because us men are big bad predatory wolves, but because as young boys we were not given intelligent and empowering information around s€x & relating. We were given perverted and shameful information, by a perverted and shameful society. We then went out into the world and seeded this perversion in the wombs & bodies of women. And because her very nature is receptivity, she then has to carry around years of mishandling inside the tissues of her vagina, cervix, womb, breasts and throat. When women come to me for energy sessions, the amount of pain and perversion her body has been subjected to, becomes very apparent, as she opens, vibrates, and unravels. Everything spills out into the room. In many instances it can look like some kind of exorcism. Its as if she’s been held captive inside of a tiny part of her body, afraid to feel or exist within her totality. Why? —— THE FOUNDATION: In a society which champions emotional numbness as “strength”, the only remaining option she has, is to dissociate from the inner aching & shut-down her powerfully intuitive felt-sense; for fear of it being exposed as weakness. Endless bracing. Even in love-making, most women(not all) have learned the importance of bracing; incase he unawarely thrusts at the wrong angle, causing pain. Because of this, she’s never truly being able to exhale and feel the exquisite subtitles which arise from connected & embodied intimacy. …and please, dont get me wrong here. When I speak of embodied intimacy, im not referring to tickling your partner with a feather under the moonlit sky until she “arrives”, followed by a curtsey. Im talking about sweaty, deep, primally driven, passion drenched fuck - but supported by a foundation of deeply attuned sensitivity and care towards the others wellbeing. This foundational safety, allows the intensity of passion, orgasmicness, love & primality - to reach heights never touched upon before; back when distracted disconnection was driving the vehicle. When both people are present; tuned-in to self and other, God gets to enter the room. Life, spirit, eros gets to fill the space. So please do not confuse embodied s€x for some boring-ass flaccid form of un-pleasurable intimacy. Its more physically, energetically, & spiritually orgasmic than anything else we have access to in this life. —— WELCOME HER CHALLENGE. As a man, maybe you are naturally wanting to experience her receptivity towards you. Her willingness, longing & desire to invite you in; for her to bathe in oceans of vulnerability - A vulnerability which has been, many times before you; used against her. Disrespected, judged & dropped. Based on all of this...why on earth would she trust a man who she hasn’t vetted repeatedly? If as a man you would like to be stronger for woman, for yourself, for community; welcome challenge. Welcome HER challenge. Realize that she is pushing up against you, because she actually gives a damn about you. If she didn’t, she would never feel the need to test anything about you. Once you have proven your character(to yourself) through stable consistency, and she has digested you viscerally, a deeper dropping into devotion and union can begin. (To further clarify: A matured man will not feel these behaviours as "tests" or "challenges", as they will be so minuscule on the energetic scale of that which he is used to engaging with. The concept of a women "testing him" is not something which he holds in his awareness. Also, a woman who is around a mature man, wont even waste her time trying to test him, as his solidarity will be very clear from the get-go. The above sharing is more for "middle-ground" stages.) —— BOUNDARIES We really need to see the beauty present in the opportunity to demonstrate our sharpness and strength, in all areas of life. Welcome the challenging of your boundaries, so that you have the opportunity to show-up firm and clear in your sovereignty. One of the greatest gifts a woman can bring to a man, is through exposing the areas of his being which lack stability. A powerful embodied woman really requires your boundaries and self-respect to be existing at the forefront of your being - At the forefront of the relationship. So that she has something stable & reliable to brush up against. She may also require a necessary spanking from time to time, if she really gets out of line. Depending on her general level of “feist” of course. In many cases, the insatiable feminine will purposefully do things to magnetize you into disciplining, activating & transmuting her to completion. This, is a whole other topic of conversation, which we can keep for a later date. But there is profound trust and turn-on which is built through healthy masculine discipline and order. **Dear Internet humans, Im assuming you know the difference between spanking her, and beating her - and how the 1st is conducive to a passionate, playful, polarized relationship, while the latter…is clearly not.** —— The below advice is written with the assumption that you have a deep love for this woman(women collectively), and you would like to know how to love her deeper, as it aligns with your integrity. NOT to get something in return from her. HOW DO WE LOVE HER?: By supporting and empowering her to be EXACTLY that which she has come here to be. Without conditioning, controlling, or imprisoning her. So she can come to understand & ooze her innate service to the planet. - Claiming her, if you are choosing to be with her. - Leading her with love and truth, in every moment it is required. - Protecting her. Both physically, and energetically. - Saying what you mean, and meaning what you say. - Remaining diligent and disciplined in your own relationship to life & your mission. Without compromise. - Calling her out/being real with her - holding her accountable. We love her, by reminding her of the tremendous power she is, in any moment she happens to forget it, or falls victim to the disempowering social narratives of backwards womanhood. To add to that - Making love/penetrating/fucking her as deeply and as profoundly as you can arrive to. Which will unveil & shift her experience of this life. As will her “opening” transform how you experience yours. Learn to love her, especially in her “hardness”. Especially in her anger. Especially in her frustration. Especially in her tension. Especially in all the places she has been mishandled and traumatized. You need not viscerally like it, but through showing up and loving her when she is deep in it, we assist in transmuting the collective pain present in so many women, AND men. If you don’t want to love her, and you have no interest in any of the above; there’s nothing wrong with that - But leave her alone. She doesn’t need another half-assed version of undercooked love. None of us do. If you are going to be there, at least commit to it. ---- Finally, please understand that this is a nuanced process, which has its own flavor for each individual. This sharing is to offer some experiential information which I deem as valuable sign posts. Please note that In everything I share, my individual mission comes through heavy, so I dont expect it to resonate for everybody at all times. Perfection is never the goal, but I believe impeccable integrity ought to be, in whatever we do. However you arrive to your way, is right on time. And it need not look like my or anybody else’s way. Here’s hoping what I have shared today can be of some value as you walk the path of “what the fuck is going on down here?”, and support us all in having to carry around less numbness, and more ALIVENESS. In love & service, Chris Bale

what is the best fishing kayak?

We’re going to try to help you make a decision! But we need to be clear on this.... there is not one kayak that can be recommended for everyone. Best fishing kayaks come in all different shapes and sizes and each type is designed to work better in certain conditions. For example, you might not have much transport space inside (or on top of) your car, so is it may be worth looking at an inflatable kayak that deflates and packs away into a convenient small space. Or do you intend mostly heading out fishing alone or with a friend or partner? Then you might want to think about opting for a tandem kayak (or maybe stick with two solo ‘yaks!).

Choosing A Fishing Kayak: Features To Consider

Stability

How stable is your kayak?

The last thing you want to be worried about is tipping over when your mind is on grabbing the line or net as you’re reeling in bass. This is particularly the case if you prefer standing up. There are fishing kayaks that are made for prolonged periods of standing as well as sitting.

Storage

Try to choose a best fishing kayak that at least has the storage options that you require. A lot of kayaks have front and rear storage, as well as hatches that can be used to store equipment that needs to be protected from water. You’ll also want to store bait, tackle and possibly your rods as you paddle (unless you just leave them in rod holders). Just have a good think about what you might need before you purchase. All the kayaks listed here feature at least one rod holder, which are a must-have (the more expensive ones have more). Some holders are ‘flush’ mounted, meaning they are molded into the kayak, while others have adjustable rod holders, that often are detachable from the ‘yak.

Pimp My ‘Yak

Ok, this follows on from storage just nicely. Some kayaks can easily be upgraded or you can add on cool accessories.

Check out this video to see how imaginative you can get: For example, some kayaks have options for rail storage. With these you can attach fish finders or extra rods, GPS, or anything else that you need to have fastened and that you can get your hands on fast. You might even want to film your day out, so why not add your GoPro?

Want a break from paddling? If your kayak supports a trolling motor, you could add one to the stern and get from A to B without breaking a sweat. Or you could add a sail instead.You can even get inventive and add your own kit regardless of included fittings.A sail can be a handy addition to your kayak as it can let you harness the power of the wind to move your yak across the water, meaning you could save your energy for more fishing when you reach your destination.There are several types of sails, including smaller kayak sails that look like parachutes that are attached close to the front and help to pull you along. As long as you have enough of a breeze you could find you move much faster than paddlers without a sail. One way you can update the look of your yak is by adding some LED lights to it - like these from Boaton. This can help keep you visible while you’re fishing at night or in low light conditions and it can look pretty cool too. You may even find that you can get lights that are designed to repel bugs, so you can keep on fishing without getting bitten.

Video: Adding LEDs to A Kayak

If you’re yak’s not tricked out enough, you could add some outriggers to it to add some extra stability for when you’re fishing. This could let you stand up more easily to fish and could help you feel a little more at ease on rougher water.

Weight Is Important Too

This is important. You need to consider how much weight capacity the manufacturer recommends. Then deduct your own weight (and partner’s if going tandem) as well as any fishing tackle you intend taking. Also remember to add weight for any gizmos, food or extra clothing you want to take. Heck, some people kayak for days, so you might even want to bring tents and camping equipment. In any case, just make sure you have done your sums when it comes to weight.

Speed vs Turning

We’re not going to go into great detail here, but as a rule of thumb, you should consider the following:

1) Longer kayaks are more efficient through the water which makes them faster.

2) Shorter kayaks can maneuver and turn better.

Also consider the keel of the kayak. If looking from the side, the keel is more rounded, it should turn better. We don’t want to go too much into this now, as well pronounced rounded keels are moving into the territory of whitewater kayaks – which are certainly more in tune with pure kayak fun, rather than fishing!

Types Of Fishing Kayaks

we are going to run through various different fishing kayak types and brands, and outline how each one can benefit you for your particular needs. We'll also recommend some of the top-rated kayaks available within each type.

Our job is to make your decision a whole lot easier, so hopefully we will give you all the information you are looking for! Before you choose a fishing kayak, you need to decide which type is right for you.

There are two basic types:

Two Basic Types: SOT & SIK

SOT (Sit-On-Top)

The paddler(s) sits on top of the kayak. They are not enclosed and as such, access in and out of the kayak is made easier. IK (Sit-In Kayak)

The paddler(s) are enclosed within the kayak. Spray skirts can be used to keep the water away from the lower body.

Sit-On Top Fishing Kayaks

Pros

· Don’t feel confined when paddling

· Easy to get in and out of

· Great for very warm or hot conditions

· Generally, more stable

· Can grab tools and move around much more easily

Downsides

· You can get wet paddling

· May travel a little slower

Sit-on top kayaks are also known as SOT (Sit-On Top). They can also be referred to by some as SOKs.

SOT kayaks are designed for multi-purpose recreational pastimes, including general touring and diving (inc scuba) or swimming off-shore. But they can be great for fishing. They have a molded depression on top and a sealed hull.

Sit-on-tops are suitable for everyone. They are very easy to get into and out of…perfect if you want to get out and do some wade fishing in shallow waters. Having an open top also makes it easy to store and access your fishing tackle and any other equipment you might have.

SOTs are generally quite wide. This is good for stability, so they can be really good if you want a stand up fishing (stand up within the kayak), want to fly cast, are reeling in, or if you have a tendency to get nervous paddling around or when you need to grab anything from anywhere other than your seat.

> What About Sit-On Top Kayak Seats?

The disadvantage to having width is that you will travel slightly slower, but this isn’t something that would bother most fishermen, as they aren't in a race!

What About Pedal Yaks?

Pedal kayaks can be useful for fishing as they can free up your hands and allow you to focus more on fishing rather than worry about trying to juggle a paddle and rod at the same time.A pedal kayak can also be easier to use, as you don’t necessarily need to learn paddling skills or know particular techniques. This means almost anyone can operate a pedal kayak. With a pedal yak you use your feet and legs to power you across the water, which can mean you can go faster than you might be able to with a paddle and with perhaps less effort, as your legs are usually naturally stronger than your arms.Ok,

Sit-In Fishing Kayaks

Sit-in, also known as SIK kayaks (or sometimes SINK) have a cockpit (with seat), which sits enclosed within the kayak. Think of your legs being covered over by the shell/deck. Often a spray skirt is also used to cover the cockpit and keep the water out.Sit-in kayaks are less popular with fishermen in general. Those that do use them tend to use them for fishing at sea. The reason for this is because they are better for keeping dry. So, if you are at sea and the waves are big or it’s very cold, a SIK could be for you as you will be protected from the elements by the cockpit and spray skirt.

Be warned though, you need to be an experienced kayaker if you’re heading out on anything moderate or rougher. Even if the surf is calm, you’ll be surprised how fast things can change. The last thing you want is to be rolled over with wave after wave crashing on top of you and your gear! Because you are sitting inside the cockpit, stability tends to improve. The lower center of gravity does make a difference. Turning and maneuvering is also enhanced, as more of your body can pivot against the ‘yak in order to direct more pressure into your strokes. These benefits may not be so important for the fishermen out there, rather for kayak purists. Anglers find SIKs are more difficult to get into and out of, especially if you're big into wade fishing. It’s not much fun continuously getting in and out of a sit-in kayak at the best of times. Think about what it must be like with having waders on at the same time! It’s also more difficult to access fishing equipment when on the move.

Pros

· Ok for surf, but you need to be very experienced

· Stable in rougher conditions

· Legs stay warmer on cold days

Downsides

· Not as easy to get in & out of

· Access to gear is more difficult

· Not designed for fishing standing up

· Hot days can be very uncomfortable within the cockpit

Overall, we recommend sit-on-top kayaks for fishing. It’s just a whole lot more practical overall. Keep the SIKs for those who are into more hardcore recreation, like the whitewater. SIKs do have some advantages though, so only you can decide for yourself the best way to go.

What About Inflatable Fishing Kayaks?

Inflatable Fishing Kayaks are a popular option, suited more towards the recreational user. Yes, you may be thinking “Won’t I puncture the kayak with the fish hook or on a rock?”. Well they wouldn’t sell very well if they weren’t!

Inflatable kayaks are actually very durable, and are mostly made from a combination of layers including PVC, nitrylon and haypalon. PVC is the most popular material. It’s quite durable, relatively light and cheaper than haypalon kayaks. Haypalon and nitrylon are tougher, but they are heavier and cost more.Now we’re not going to lie to you. Top end inflatable kayaks are generally not going to track as well as top end hard-shelled kayaks, but for most people out there they are perfectly good enough for tracking and changing course. As such, they are an option worth considering if you occasionally fish or if you’re just getting into the hobby, but want to start buying your own stuff straight away (we always recommend renting kayaks before buying them).One of the big advantages of an inflatable kayak is that they can be deflated, which makes them easier to transport around. The flip side of this is that you have to spend time and effort inflating and deflating the ‘yak every time you use it. The more you go out on it, the more that pump is going to get used – hence why for just occasional fishing folk, the inflatable fishing kayak is a good option.Some users find inflatables a pain because ideally, they should be dried before packing away, to help stop corrosion. So depending on your situation, you may need to get where you’re fishing, inflate, use, deflate, then repeat the inflate/deflate process when you get home in order to dry the kayak out. This isn’t always the case, but it might be depending on your location and situation.Here are some highly rated inflatable yaks...

Coleman Colorado 2-Person Fishing Kayak

· Width: 35 inches

· Weight: 41 pounds

The available space isn’t going to be as good as a hard-shelled kayak, that’s the just the nature of the beast. But for an inflatable, it’s pretty good. The removable bar at the front can be used to place any gadgets you may have.Two fishing rod holders are located right behind the seat.A nice touch is the adjustable lumbar, which can be inflated to a level of your choosing.

Tandem Fishing Kayaks: Paddling Together

If you want to share the load, you could go for a tandem kayak (also known as a two person fishing kayak). Tandems are a great way to enjoy some company and you don’t have two kayaks at your disposal!

What is a tandem kayak? With two seats, tandem kayaks can make it more fun to paddle along. They are a great way to introduce your kids, or spouse to outdoors fishing.

Beware though, quite often your partner may not be as experienced or willing to paddle along as you are, so bear this in mind. In fact, tandem kayaking can end up being more difficult than using solo kayaks. It really depends on your partner though!

5 Very Basic Kayak Fishing Tips That Beginners Should Know

Here are five tips for kayak fishing…

1) Go Prepared!

Aside from having some good fishing gear, make sure you have plenty of water, some food and sunscreen for those exposed parts of your body (it’s very easy to underestimate how strong the sun can be, particularly when it’s breezy). If for any reason you get stuck out away from dry land, it’s good to have these essentials should your excursion last longer than anticipated.

2) Stay Balanced

Sounds so obvious, but always keep your head up and be wary of where you are situated within the kayak and look out for any waves or obstacles that you might inadvertently run into. This is especially the case when you are standing!

3) Everything Should Float

Another obvious one, but so easy to forget. Basically anything that doesn’t float and falls out of the yak….sinks! For valuables, like phones, GPS etc, get yourself a waterproof bag that floats and secure within the kayak.

4) Keep An Eye On The Weather

Make sure you know what the weather forecast predicts for the day. The last thing you want to happen is suddenly get caught in atrocious conditions when you are the one trying to do the catching!

5) Be Confident

This is especially true if you are a beginner. Make sure you are 100% confident in your kayak before you venture out catching fish. As you get comfortable with your new kayak, stay close to land initially and gradually build up the distances you paddle, away from land.

What I Learned When I Quit Numbing My Feelings

I took the month of August to camp and hike and travel alone in Ireland. Part of my intention was to quit smoking weed, which I’ve previously written about as being my go-to strategy for connecting to the sacred, for accessing presence and immanence.

To be clear, I pass zero judgment on anyone who chooses to smoke weed. I’ve mostly used weed in beautiful, supportive ways that expanded my sense of connection with the natural world, and lots of folks can use it without any downsides. That’s just not my experience.

As part of my weed-retirement process in Ireland, I took lots of pictures, enacted rituals to talk to the spirit of the plant, and communed with the elemental forces of magic that I’ve been relying on weed to access since I was 15.

Ultimately, in quitting weed, I discovered that I’ve spent almost 40 years convincing myself, in one way or another, that what I’m feeling in a particular moment is wrong and that I should feel another way.

What I’ve realized is that if I allow myself to really honor what I want in each moment, much of my need for weed seems to dissolve. The desire for it is gone as long as I’m doing other things to access the magic and sense of connection with the natural world that I crave.

So, really, quitting weed wasn’t hard while I was in Ireland. I had moments of anxiety and uncertainty, but I was traveling alone with no itinerary. I was empowered to choose what my body and spirit really wanted in each moment. Since I returned home, however, I’ve been thinking about weed approximately every 23 seconds.

I’ve spent a lifetime policing my emotional landscape, pushing away certain feelings because they aren’t comfortable.

In the past, I’ve mostly used weed to help me tune into a particular frequency of reality where there is no separate self, which I’ve written about in other articles. What I didn’t realize is that I’ve also sometimes used weed to push through the (perfectly reasonable) resistance I feel in certain moments.

Essentially, I smoked weed to force myself to do shit I didn’t actually want to do; to push myself to do things I ultimately wanted to do, but at the wrong times; and—the most insidious—I smoked weed to not feel certain types of feelings that I deemed unsavory. I used it as a way to resist whatever challenging emotional experience I was feeling.

The fact that I’ve spent a lifetime policing my emotional landscape, pushing away certain feelings because they aren’t comfortable, isn’t a new realization.

I’ve used all kinds of strategies to escape my own inner landscape, whether that be snorting heroin, bingeing on alcohol or ice cream or pizza, swallowing prescription opioids, or taking a prescribed SSRIs and mood stabilizers.

I’ve worked hard to heal and reclaim my capacity to fully honor whatever I’m feeling. But I wasn’t tracking the full truth of just how often I was using weed as a strategy for pushing myself through resistance, whether to force myself to do something I “should” be doing or to get away from a feeling I “shouldn’t” be having.

And it’s not just me. We all have our moments of wanting to escape.

People have written extensively on this idea of a “Great Escape,” this very human, biologically hardwired thing we do, pushing away the mundane, resisting the circumstances of our lives, always looking for an “escape” of some kind.

But these implications that we are “hardwired” for anything can be dangerous, and they only tell part of the story. For me, the idea that we’ve got some biologically hardwired tendency to run away from our lives, to escape the contexts we find ourselves in, is a downer that quickly leads me down a disempowering and reductionist path.

I advocate for a wider lens where, when we talk about human tendencies, we include the deep, empowering ramifications of the latest findings in neurobiology and trauma healing, where our brains are neuroplastic and massive shifts and consciousness evolution are, in fact, possible.

A parallel story to the idea that we’re wired for escapism, and one that is more accurate for me personally is this: We receive varying degrees of obedience training from the time we are born.

Truly, deeply, honoring what is true in each moment — for ourselves and for others — is one of the most radical acts we can take to reclaim our inner authority and well-being.

We are enculturated into hierarchical domination. Our cultural institutions create and reinforce systems of oppression where we have to fight and contort and conform to get closer to the center of power (white, male, able-bodied, straight, etc.) in order to get power for ourselves. We all internalize that thinking (including white able-bodied straight males), and we turn those patterns inward, where we begin a lifetime habit of controlling ourselves, doing shit we don’t want to do, sublimating our own impulses and uniqueness in exchange for external validation, status, belonging, love, and survival.

Who the fuck wouldn’t want to escape that?

I’m a white, able-bodied, educated, upper-middle-class person who works from home and has disposable income and no children to care for. Clearly my decision to “stop doing shit I don’t want to do” is easier than it would be for many people. And yet this realization is helping me quit—and stay quit from—marijuana, and it’s encouraging me to stop and listen when my body is resisting my mind’s idea of what I’m “supposed” to be doing or feeling in a given moment.

The difference in how I approach my thinking now, compared to how I approached it with weed, is startling.

For example, if I’m thinking: “I have to do that annoying newsletter and then build that webpage. Ugh, I just wish someone else would do it. I’m so sick of this job.” Weed would suggest I get high, making the annoying thing bearable. But, really, that resistance is my body telling me it’s time for a new client or a new way of making money that is more meaningful or a reality check on things I’ve agreed to that would be done more joyfully by someone else.

Or how about those moments when I’m thinking, “Ugh—I don’t wanna unpack, reassemble my room after putting everything away for the subletter, do laundry and grocery shopping.” Weed would undoubtedly tell me it would all be more tolerable with a bong hit. But, really, that’s me placating the part of my self-critical, drill-sergeant brain that thinks right now is the only right time to do a particular task. And if I don’t, I’m just lazy as fuck.

Instead of grabbing the bong, I can remind myself there will come a time when I’m going to be excited to set up my room and fill the fridge with food. If that time’s not right now, that’s okay.

Whatever challenging thing is happening in your emotional landscape in each moment, there is a perfectly good reason for it — and feeling it is much faster and more relaxing than resisting it.

As for the big one, the “denying what is true for me in a particular moment and making myself wrong for what I’m feeling,” there’s a better way to handle that too.

If I’m feeling sad and depressed, if I’m lamenting how I should be grateful, and convincing myself what I’m feeling has no reason. I wish this feeling would go away, but the answer probably isn’t to escape by smoking a joint. Instead, I need to remember that no one is “depressed for no reason”—despite what my inner voice thinks.

Finding the source of the feelings and then peeking underneath to see what needs aren’t being met is one of the keys I’ve found to building nervous system resilience, inner calm, acceptance, and wholeness.

Truly, deeply, honoring what is true in each moment—for ourselves and for others—is one of the most radical acts we can take to reclaim our inner authority and well-being.

This is the most revealing thing I’ve learned since quitting my weed addiction (and every other addiction I’ve ever had, for that matter), and this realization holds the key to my own sobriety in the long run: Whatever challenging thing is happening in your emotional landscape in each moment, there is a perfectly good reason for it—and feeling it is much faster and more relaxing than resisting it.

After all, we know now from relational neurobiology that those of us who haven’t internalized a loving, secure, warm, and attuned inner parent can find it virtually impossible to “just be with” our feelings. If people lack a resonating, compassionate self-witness to accompany them in times of emotional intensity, they will likely be flooded, overwhelmed, and then shuttled into whatever their go-to distraction strategy is.

Research has shown the vagus nerve controls our fight/flight/freeze responses in conjunction with the emotional alarm system (the amygdala), and 80 percent of the information flow from that nerve goes upward from the body, not top-down from our prefrontal cortex. Without building fibers between the amygdala and the prefrontal cortex through warm, secure attachment, our body will continue to react until we can internalize the self-soothing capacity of secure attachment that enables us to actually feel and accompany ourselves in our own pain the way a loving parent would.

fMRIs have shown that the nervous system relaxes a bit once we name and acknowledge the feelings we’re feeling. Research also indicates that the nervous system further relaxes once we consistently name and acknowledge unmet needs that are underneath the feeling. Our bodies are trying to tell us through feelings what is important to us. But we have to listen.

Acknowledging feelings and needs won’t necessarily make the uncomfortable feeling go away, but it does free up our nervous system to relax enough to come to a place of balance enough to ground ourselves to decide what to do about it.

In the new documentary, “The China Hustle,” there’s a moment when Dan David, a whistleblower and activist short-seller, returns home to his extended family and explains his work. He is trying to stop dubious Chinese firms from profiting on the U.S. stock market through backdoor, reverse takeovers. He argues these Chinese entities are frauds that egregiously overstate profit and revenue in order to attract U.S. investors who are hungry for exposure to the China boom following the 2008 market crash.

“I’ll bet against them, and I’ll write a report and I’ll publish it,” he says to the friends and family gathered for a barbecue. “I’ll say they’re a fraud, and I’ll short. But when they do go to zero, I win, but you all lose.”

It’s a startling and revealing moment for David, who is the CIO of F.G. Alpha Management, a short-bias hedge fund, and co-founder of GeoInvesting. David previously lobbied Congress and approached U.S. financial firms to sound the alarm on the wave of Chinese reverse mergers and the danger these stocks posed to U.S. investors.

“For the first two years, I gave my research away. I went to the exchanges, I went to the banks. I never shorted,” David told MarketWatch. “The reaction was, ‘And who are you?’”

Related: Beware This Chinese Export (Barron’s)

So, as David continued trying to raise awareness, he also started short-selling these stocks (“busting these frauds,” as activist short-seller Jon Carnes called it), keeping the profits from the executives of these Chinese companies — and from their U.S. investors.

“Nobody took me seriously until I made money,” David said in an interview at a special event for the film, hosted by Peggy Siegal Wednesday night at Il Gattopardo restaurant. “You start catching billion-dollar companies, and now they take you seriously. I didn’t create the structure. They did. I tried to play it straight, never shorting. I’m still not comfortable shorting. I’m a value investor. I believe in the American dream. I believe in investing long.”

He makes for a complicated whistleblower, in a film full of complicated characters: The lawyer who represented the China firms. The investment banker who sold shares and issued “buy” recommendations on these stocks to his clients. Retired U.S. Army General Wesley Clark, who was chairman of Rodman & Renshaw, another firm selling these stocks.

“This is a world of gray, not black and white. You have to wonder, in order to police the markets, we’ve left it to short-sellers who have very conflicted motives,” said Alex Gibney, who directed the 2005 documentary “Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room,” and is a producer of “The China Hustle.” (Jed Rothstein directed the film. Mark Cuban is also a producer.)

“I think Dan [David] is somebody who has a moral center, but nevertheless when you’re talking about short-sellers, do short-sellers just go after fraudulent companies, or do they go after weak companies sometimes for their own advantage? It’s complicated and yet only by getting into the gray do you begin to understand what’s really going on,” Gibney said.

MarketWatch spoke to Gibney and David about “The China Hustle” in separate conversations at the event.

This film mostly depicts events in the early 2000s, but it draws a direct line to Chinese companies today like Alibaba.

Gibney: The world is so fully integrated economically, but when you’re talking about the U.S. economy being so fully integrated with the Chinese economy, and you have certain fundamental problems with the Chinese economy like the rule of law, suddenly it raises all these huge issues. Yes, a lot of money is flowing around, but can you count on the kind of stability that you hope for if you’re a pensioner or a nurse, or a doctor just hoping to keep their retirement savings in tact?

What would you like to see happen now, after the film is released?

David: A better relationship with China, where we respect each other. Where if we steal from them, our people go to jail — and they do — and if they steal from us, their people go to jail. That’s a friendship. Right now, we have a relationship based on mutually assured financial destruction.

The film includes candid interviews with three victims of bad investments that wiped out their savings. What was your reaction to those interviews?

David: It was very hard to watch. It was very brave of them to do what they did. Very brave. Many others turned down that opportunity. It was very hard to watch and I don’t watch the movie. I’ve seen it 1 1/2 times.

Gibney: Suddenly, you realize this is not just speculators who are moving money around. These are real people. Average, everyday people who have some of their retirement money in these opportunities, suddenly at huge risk.

Dan, you’re an activist and you’re shorting these stocks. But in doing so, you still profit. In one of the interviews, you say that there are no good guys in this film, including yourself.

David: Well, the question off-camera was, “How do you feel about being the good guy in this film?” I said, “There are no good guys in this film, including me.” I was just doing my job. That doesn’t make me a good guy. That was the way I was raised. I was lobbying Congress and I failed. That doesn’t make me a good guy. I made money and people lost money. That doesn’t make me a good guy. I never held myself out there as a good guy. I try to tell the truth, I try to do a good job. I try to take care of my family and my fellow countrymen. I usually succeed. When I fall short, I try to learn from it.

In this age of “fake news,” do you think documentaries play a more important role?

Gibney: I think that the best ones lay out a framework and a set of rules in advance, and they live by them. The really good ones give you a sense of what is really true. So, I think they rudder against this rather cynical idea, which is really motivated by raw power, which is that there is no such thing as truth. I think there is such a thing as truth, and you may not always be able to get right to the heart of it, but you can get pretty close to it. So, ultimately it’s about establishing that relationship of trust with the audience. In the course of the documentary, I think you can do that. Documentaries now are playing a huge role. One, because they’re telling stories, which are emotionally compelling, and it’s a lot easier to understand something when it’s presented in a story, than when it’s presented in a pie chart or a PowerPoint presentation. I also think there’s a sense of rigor about a lot of documentaries now, a fearlessness to pierce the bullshit. That’s what we’re victims of today mostly, the 24-7 news cycle where everything is so ephemeral. It’s just a tweet here and a tweet there. Nobody digs deep, and nobody looks at the structural problems behind the momentary news.

Certain news outlets and journalists covered these Chinese reverse takeovers, notably Barron’s [MarketWatch’s sister publication], but this documentary presents a deep dive for the average viewer. Much of daily financial journalism is about following the hot stocks of the moment.

Gibney: Let’s talk about that — that’s usually mostly just bullshit. When you look at the market and you think, okay, what does civics tell us about the market? Look deeply at the management, and look at the fundamentals and all of that. Most smart traders don’t pay attention to any of that shit. They’re moving in and out at the speed of electronic impulse. They’re looking for arbitrage opportunities. They’re not looking at the integrity of a company. So, this is where you begin to examine the foundations that the whole system is built on.

David: Regular journalism is cycle-driven and that becomes a problem. Once you have a cycle of news based upon say, China fraud, the next cycle that would be based upon that kind of fraud has to be bigger and more salacious. It’s way too short. That’s why great reporting by Dune Lawrence and by Bill Alpert has been under-appreciated. But because they’re in a cycle, they have to move on. I don’t have to move on.

Going back to the complicated nature of these investment bankers, the film also scrutinizes the scaffolding around them, including politicians, lawyers and chairmen.

Gibney: In this film in particular, the lawyers and the accountants — this was certainly the case with Enron, too — play a role of trying to pretend a certain respectability that doesn’t really exist. That’s part of the con. But they don’t look at their role that way. They look at their role as people who are getting a fee. They don’t look at their role as being the arbiters of some kind of moral universe. They’re just hired to do something and so long as they don’t break the law, they’re fine with that.

For a film like this or “Enron,” do you have to lawyer up more than usual?

Gibney: You do have to lawyer up. I think we’re getting to a point, particularly in my shop, where you have to be very careful and you spend the extra time it takes to make sure that you get the facts right. It doesn’t mean you always get them right, but you do your best to do your due diligence. That was the case with Scientology, when we did “Going Clear.” It was the case with “Zero Days.” If you’re going to stick your neck out, you better be sure that you know what you’re doing.

Did the frenzy around the premiere of “Going Clear”��change you as a filmmaker in how you approach these projects?

Gibney: Well, what it did is it honestly made me encouraged about the form. Fifteen, 20 years ago, when I was going out and looking for a job, people who were nervous about my wife’s future would say, “Whatever you do, don’t mention the word ‘documentary.’” But that’s all changed now. I think there’s a sense of power and force that this form has, that’s really very potent. And by the way, it’s usually popular. “Going Clear” was seen by a lot of people, including a lot more people than those who saw many of the dramas on HBO. It’s an important moment. People’s hunger for the truth is immense. Documentaries, by and large, deliver on authored versions of the truth that are an attempt to get an essential truth.
