Show Summary Perhaps the biggest challenge looking forward to the future is to see our future selves. How will we change our biology & genetics? How will we make decisions about what we should alter? It's important because technology constantly changes our perceptions of right and wrong. So, what are ethics in regards to human life? Why making strong ethical and moral considerations is bad? What are some of the important ethical fights today that will impact the quality of life of our future generations? And what are some of the things we should be doing today to avoid being judged harshly by our future generations? In this episode of the Boldly NOW Show, academic, author, and futurist Juan Enriquez answers all these questions. He gives us new viewpoints and tools to make choices more wisely in the face of the neo-biological revolution.

Show Summary How do we learn lessons from the past? How can we leave behind our global problems and create a new era for humanity? What are the technologies and behaviors we need to adapt to make sustainable change, and how do we bring all that back to the people who can take action to change the world? These are the questions polymath tech Futurist Adah Parris has been grappling with in the face of the challenges we have today. In this episode of the Boldy Now show, Adah shines a light on these questions and gives us ways to recognize new patterns that can lead to a better future.

Adah gives a detailed insight into the term and how she came to be recognized as one. A futurist systematically explores the present to predict the future while considering the past. However, a futurist doesn't just have to be a mere predictor of patterns. The real task of a Futurist is to create stories that can help humanity pull into a better future. Adah is also a systems thinker. Her framework “Cyborg Shamanism” provides a lens through which we can look at the world and decode everything that happens around us. Cyborg Shamanism consists of five phases: 1. Leave – First Phase: How do we leave these problems/ old ways behind? 2. Breathe – Second Phase: How can we remove these tensions in the system to create a hypothesis for change? 3. Grow – Third Phase: What are the tools/technologies/rituals/behaviors to try to make this true? (i.e., How to stress test it) 4. Flow – Fourth Phase: Thinking long-term, what type of answers make it sustainable? 5. Ground – Fifth Phase: How do we ground that down to create a sense of kinship? All living systems are self-operating mechanisms. But, we always learn some lessons in one world that can be brought into the other. Binaries create competition and division. Whether it's spirituality, philosophy, physics, mechanics, or metaphysics, bringing different worlds together can help humanity cooperate rather than compete. Today, we need new technologies that are capitalistic but still provide a positive impact on humanity and the world. We need businesses that operate less like machines and more as living organisms. There's a lot to learn from nature. We can replicate how nature creates no waste. Perhaps a new hierarchy of needs would be appropriate in which the base level is “We” rather than “I." The rules of the game have already been broken by COVID. It's the right time to shift and change and create new, better and sustainable technologies. The same can be said about our political systems. We are still using a 100-200 years old top-down authoritarian approach to manage countries. Our politics is politics of divide and conquer. However, borders have become more fluid in this digital day and age. Organizations have become more influential like we see different organizations taking steps about vaccine passports. Humanity needs to figure...
GFI02: TRANSCENDING THE CLIMATE CRISIS with Kim Stanley Robinson Show Summary Tune into the Bold.ly Now Show featuring Kim Stanley Robinson, the Hugo and Nebula winning author of the Mars Trilogy. He is known as a realistic, science-based highly-literary science fiction author with over 20 books published. Stan's work often focuses on themes like sustainability, economic & social justice, climate change, and speculative futures. Today, we discuss these themes covered in Stan's atypical sci-fi novel, The Ministry for the Future. Stan uses the book to demonstrate a vision of a new future for humanity and investigate what it might take to survive and transcend the climate crisis.

That means humans will have to adapt to a higher temperature. But, how much can we adapt? It's a well documented fact that humanity cannot survive a high heat index – a combination of high heat and high humidity. So, no matter the eco-modernist's view, humanity faces more of an emergency than we think. Kim Stanley Robinson's novel “The Ministry for the Future” runs wild with this idea. The book aims not just to transform people's thinking but also the culture itself. While his atypical approach to “novel writing” may seem borderline blasphemous, it's not something new. Stan believes he was inspired by the USA trilogy (by John Dos Passos) and Moby Dick (Herman Melville). Here, he talks in detail about his novel writing approach, entertainment VS education aspect, and how he manages to “tell” just as much as “show” to keep the novel fun and engaging for the readers. We live in a nation-state global capitalist world. To write a realistic plausible novel, discussing capitalism and how it exacerbates the climate problem is inevitable. This system favors a few, but the climate is a zero-sum game. Paris agreement was, therefore, a great step in the right direction. We need better pricing of our relationship to the biosphere. Only then can we attempt to morph the system into better treatment of people and the biosphere. Stan's novel extracts a lot from the current economic conditions and gives us a viable picture of the future. The Carbon coin, introduced in the book, strikes a chord with the crypto-revolution currently taking place. Similarly, the targeted asymmetrical violence reminds of the occupy movement. Along the way, the book asks some very pertinent questions making a case for neoliberal capitalism. Unlike the often held view, neoliberal capitalism is not a hands-off approach to governance. It's still a very strong governance model that is indispensable for a socially just political economy. It's a mixed picture in the world right now. On the bright side, we have the EU commission announcing plans for forced labor import ban, the successes of the 30 x 30 movement, the Paris accord and similar steps taken by governments in the USA, China and India. On the negative side, we have the reactionary capitalist businesses which exploit the natural resources to death and would not go without a fight. This discursive battle is but just one aspect of the larger political and physical battle. Biological diversity is just important as human cultural diversity. We are part of nature. Our body cells are part of the biosphere – from the cradle to the grave. Whenever there has been a mass extinction event, about 70 per cent of the species don't make
In this week's podcast we speak with Author Kute Blackson about his just released book, The Magic of Surrender. When Kute's mother was passing away she was unafraid and at peace.

BN 25: The Future of Healthcare with Dr: David Tusek Show Summary Tune in to the Boldy Now Show featuring Dr. David Tusek, Direct Care and Health Exchange Pioneer, to forever change the way we think about personal and community health. Dr. Tusek is the founder of Cloud Medical, and a founding partner of Ravel Health, an alternative marketplace based upon healthcare vs. sick-care. Looking at health from a broader perspective, Dr. Tusek asks for a deeper understanding of the body, reconnection with ourselves, people around us, and nature, so that we can transform our healthcare system to help us to thrive rather than merely survive.

However, it doesn't address the deeper, more central questions of our lives: How to live life to the fullest, live in coherence with what we are here to do, and what it means to live your best life? Finding answers to these questions is essential to understanding the full capacity of our health. The map that can help us unlock this full capacity is "reconnecting to the four disconnections." During the podcast, Dr. David Tusek explains what these four disconnections (or quadrants of reality) are. He further elucidates how reconnection can lead to a greater awareness of the fundamental parts of our body – not just the structural elements that comprise our organism. The first step to health and fitness is consciousness. Consciousness not just to our body but also to the people around us, our community, and planet earth. Sure, exercising and staying fit is a way to health, but it's a reductionist solution, to measure health by a measure of consumptive units. To thrive we need a profound connection with ourselves to experience fully being human. For this we may need coaches that have a rather holistic sense of the body and human consciousness. In Dr. David Tusek's words, we need the “Bruce Lee” move to transform our healthcare system. Take all of the best parts of today's system, add stuff that we are missing and remove anything that isn't working. We also need mentors who can help us re-establish connection with our body and our loved ones for meaningful relationships. We are what we eat. Therefore, we don't just need doctors who prescribe medicine. We should also incorporate our food producers into the healthcare system. Provide them incentives to have a hyper-local food ecosystem. The pandemic has blown the cover off of our wounds. In the words of Dr. David Tusek, the pandemic showed us that “"We are sicker than we even realize." That we are in the midst of multiple simultaneous pandemics. It has given us a chance to change course and heal the deep core traumas that needed healing for a long time. Our fundamental societal framework needs new framing. Only a healthcare system that takes a holistic approach – one that looks at the wellness of people, soil, and our relationships as well – can contribute and heal the body of our life.
