A warm year end greetings followers and friends!
Woof! It’s been almost a year since we started this podcast – I really had no idea it would evolve to a weekly thing (+ Frankly’s!). There is so much to do as society gradually – or suddenly -heads into The Great Simplification, it is sometimes hard to prioritize. I still fundamentally believe in the emergent human response to collective challenges – but to do that, more people need to see the systems synthesis of what we face – which was the initial thrust of this platform.
I learned a lot along the way – about the world, about my guests and about myself. This all is a journey without a clear destination – for now I am grateful to know there are so many humans – around the world – following – and extending this conversation. We can’t directly fight the Superorganism – the dynamic is too strong even for heads of state or the worlds richest -but changes are coming – what we can do -all of us – is change the initial conditions that future events will encounter. That’s the tiny contribution of this podcast and YouTube channel.
Here is a brief (15 minute) impromptu reflection, with a few predictions and some personal/podcast intentions. Much more to come in near future. Thanks for being part of this.
warmly,
Nate

What does a livable future look like 100 years from now? If we unlocked unlimited green energy, what would we actually do with it? And are our dreams of a renewable-energy utopia sometimes just as delusional as the fossil-fueled ‘drill baby drill’ mentality?

I do think we need this feast to return to its roots, as a potlatch, a bonding redistribution of wealth and full bellies, a rapprochement across the great divides, and a coming together in joy to feed each other. We need something that draws us into community, that builds ties, that creates relationship and memories.

Rather than being a religion, animism is a mindset that had common purchase around the globe prior to modern times. Not only is it important to appreciate how we used to be when the planet’s ecological relationships were more “normal,” but it offers a worthy alternative to dualism that has much overlap with an astrophysical perspective.
