On today's episode, we explore how my Theory of Indivisibility applies to Education. In 2019 I gave a talk at the Pathfinder Community School in Durham NC. titled "Self-Directed Education For A Sustainable Planet" that connects the dots between our children, systems thinking, biomimicry, climate change, and self-directed education. I've given several talks over the years...I'm most proud of this one. I hope that you are inspired by it!! Send a voice memo!

During this interlude episode, I read aloud a guide that I was agitated to write and publish to my blog on June 10, 2020, in response to feelings of fear, hopelessness, anger, and despair that I personally felt and that I heard and observed from so many people of African descent living in America after the killing of George Floyd by a police officer. Experience the depths of this guide fully by reading it on my blog.

On today's episode, we will discuss the evolutionary origins of Capitalism in human societies. As a relatively new economic system in the scope of human history, capitalism, for many years has been praised by many as a catalyst for freedom and positive economic development. However, in 2020 as more and more people awaken to the realities of climate change, economic inequality, chronic illness, and the coronavirus pandemic, the voices of those who are critical of capitalism have become louder than ever. So how did we get here? Listen now to learn how it all began.

On today’s episode, we discuss the evolution of Power. Like everything else in the observable universe our Social Systems have evolved since the first Homo sapiens appeared on earth 300k years ago….including systems of power. In the previous episode, we learned that for the overwhelming majority of human's existence on earth they lived in egalitarian societies that were not socially stratified based on systems of power-over and control. So why did that change? Press play to learn the answer to this question and more!!
