Wisdom & War Ep. 01 - The Cure Was Heresy

Alec Zeck and the War for Embodied Truth
2

We live in a time where everything is vying for our attention — and most of it is trying to capture our eyes.

But Wisdom and War is different. This series was created to offer a quiet resistance to the algorithmic world: a return to the power of deep listening. In a war for perception, audio becomes a refuge. A way of learning that doesn’t demand your gaze, but cultivates your presence.

This first episode, The Cure Was Heresy, is a conversation with Alec Zeck — someone who has walked straight into the fire of institutional backlash, not with rebellion, but with embodiment. Alec’s story is about rejecting disembodied systems and reclaiming the wisdom of the body, of intuition, and of presence. It’s about what happens when living in alignment becomes dangerous — and necessary.

These are the kinds of stories this series will hold: voices grounded in direct experience, offering clarity not just through facts, but through being. This isn’t content to scroll past. It’s something to sit with, walk with, move through.

Thank you for being here at the beginning.
