The M3 Bearcast from Male Media Mind

Welcome to the M3 Baercast. My name is Malcolm Travers. Male Media Mind is a grassroots organization dedicated to uplifting and unifying the black bear community through dialogue, insight, creativity, and knowledge. I've been hosting live streams and sharing content on social media for many years now. I've been asked few times to produce a podcast. It's been a pleasure to make them. Podcasts have the capability to host a longer, more in-depth conversation than our videos on youtube. It also allows you to work or the gym, and you don't have to worry about visual elements of the show being missing, which allows you to passively partake in our conversations. It gives me a chance to mold and edit the conversations in ways that make our points clear.

Hell Loops and the Comforts of Being Controlled

March 14, 2025 • Malcolm Travers • Episode 77

In this episode, Malcolm Travers and the M3 panel explore a deeply philosophical concept called “hell loops”—cyclical systems that perpetuate suffering and control. Drawing from a TikTok video, they discuss how this idea applies not only to Western religious paradigms of God and Satan, but also to capitalism and personal belief systems. The conversation then shifts to why some people feel compelled to have others share their beliefs, and concludes with a reflection on the difference between trust and faith—particularly in the context of science versus religion.
