Healing Octopus Radio
Making sense of a world that usually doesn’t.
A calm place to examine the patterns we live inside, and what happens when we actually look at those patterns.
Most of us hold on to explanations we never bothered to question.
What becomes possible once that starts to change?
Why This Podcast Exists
Sometimes when I’m in a conversation the other person says to me “Has anyone ever told you should should start a podcast?”
Yes, yes, a lot of people have told me that.
So that’s why this podcast exists. Also I need to make money and supposedly this is a good way for people to get to know me before they fork over their cash.
How This Podcast Works
Across episodes, I explore recurring patterns that show up in different domains:
- Terrain-based health (the body without rulers)
- Voluntaryism (society without rulers)
- Technology as tools, not dependencies
- And how we think, decide, and relate as humans
Who This Is For
This podcast is for people who feel the mismatch between what they’re told and what they actually observe.
For people who’ve stepped outside the mainstream explanations but don’t want to replace them with dogma, gurus, or doom.
For people who care more about intellectual honesty than being right, and more about morality than politics.
Behind the Mic
I’m David Barbarisi.
I spent years as a software engineer, inside the health, tech, and institutional systems I was told were normal.
When the explanations I’d been given stopped lining up with reality, I started questioning the assumptions underneath them. About health, authority, technology, and what it means to live well.
This podcast is where I share what I’ve noticed, what I’m still figuring out, and the questions that keep the inquiry honest.
The Rhythm
Episodes come out when I have something worth exploring.
Most are solo.
Some include guests whose perspective adds something useful.
You can listen in any order. Each episode stands on its own.
