    In this episode of Psychobabble, we take a scalpel to the modern autism diagnosis, tracing its dramatic expansion from a severe childhood disorder to a catch-all identity for anxious, rigid adults. Let's examine how psychiatric gatekeeping has failed, how ideology has overtaken evidence, and how terms like "neurodivergent" are used more to shield than to clarify. Not to mention, the ethical costs of this diagnostic inflation. (Navigate to your topic of interest by using the timestamps below.)Upgrade today, become a Psychobabble Insider and join us as we break down what proper treatment should look like for real autism and what it doesn't look like. How therapy supported by the neurodivergent movement plays right into the hands of Cluster B types. We also have a look at the controversial MMR vaccine narrative and its enduring link to autism discourse.

Many of the companies on our boycott lists have documented labor rights violations or support governments rooted in white supremacy and oppressive systems. Boycotting large corporations has opened new ways for us to reconnect with our local communities such as through mutual aid. It's also a great excuse to find new small family-owned businesses to support. Boycotting is a great technique that has worked for many movements in the past, and it's a great way to hold companies accountable for their practices.Remember: the companies you choose to support should hold your values for community care and equal rights.Resources:Boycott List by BDS MovementBoycott List by Ethical ConsumerAnti-DEI Boycott ListWhy to boycott Chiquita and DoleWhy to boycott NestleAlternative Brands by Ethical Consumer15 Ethical & Sustainable Brands by Sustainably ChicBuyNothingListen to our previous episode “Activism, But Make It Fashionable” for clothing brands we don't and do supportVictory!

    Episode 347 of RevolutionZ asks why so many stay essentially silent when our world is burning? Adam Aron, climate activist and psychology professor at UC San Diego identifies barriers that keep most people from taking action despite acknowledging the twin crises of climate collapse and rising authoritarianism. We then discuss what to do about the disturbing situation.Aron draws from his years of research and activism to identify what's holding us back: an atomized society that erodes our sense of solidarity, widespread feelings of powerlessness, and movements that fail to connect with people's material needs and identities. "Many cultural and psychological forces are pushing people to be isolated... not a lot of people have confidence in the concept of solidarity."The discussion delves into why climate organizations remain relatively "minuscule" despite scientific consensus. While environmental and anti-fascist rallies draw thousands and even millions, why do they fail to translate momentary enthusiasm into sustained collective power? Aron argues this happens partly because movements focus too narrowly on moral appeals without connecting to people's economic concerns or creating appealing cultural identities.We momentarily confront terrifying climate truths, perhaps weeping over extinction forecasts in a lecture, then step outside where everyone continues life as normal. This splitting makes sustained engagement nearly impossible for many. What are pathways forward? Do we make activism more desirable through aesthetics and community-building, do we target specific pressure points like the successful Tesla dealership protests against Elon Musk, do we link abstract climate concerns with tangible local benefits like public ownership of utilities? What is the psychology of social change? What would it take to create movements people actually want to join? How might we transform our atomized society into one capable of collective response? These are some questions this episode tackles.Support the show

Codes of love that don't need to be named, categorized, or explained. Just felt.This is about reclaiming our being as Art — and how beauty, when rooted in discernment and our connection to nature, becomes its own quiet revolution.For those who feel too much, see too deeply, and still choose to create — this one's for you.✨ Explore her work at akashka.com or connect with her on Instagram @akashkalove

    Dennis is joined via Zoom by actor-director-producer Ellen Geer who is the Producing Artistic Director of one of Dennis's favorite spots in Los Angeles, The Will Geer Theatricum Botanicum in Topange Canyon. Dennis has been going to see plays at the outdoor amphitheater since the early 90's and has seen Ellen perform in scores of shows there as well as seeing just as many that she directed and produced. This season, she co-directed the play Strife by Nobel Prize-winning writer John Galsworthy. The show, about a labor strike in rural Pennsylvania, was written in the early 1900's but feels like it could have been written in 2025. The wealthy board of directors feel like the today's financially insatiable oligarchs and the workers are dealing with the same type of injustices that workers face today. Ellen talks about why she chose Strife for this "Season of Resilience," her own history as an activist and the pleasure of co-directing with her daughter Willow Geer. She also discusses the rich history of her family and the property, which was acquired by her parents in the 1950's when her father, the actor Will Geer, was blacklisted during the McCarthy Era and the entire family was ostracized from Hollywood and their Santa Monica community. In the 1950's-60's, the Botanicum property became a safe place for blacklisted artists to seek refuge and practice their craft. In the 1970's, after Will Geer found fame as Grandpa Walton on The Waltons, the place officially opened to the public as The Will Geer Theatricum Botanicum. Ellen talks about her favorite spot on the property, her encounters with animals like bears, deer, mountain lions and rattlesnakes and the challenges of doing theater in such a unique outdoor place. Other topics include: why her father loved plants, losing all her friends as a child because of the blacklist, Jimmy Stewart being sweet to her on The Jimmy Stewart Show, how the current resistance movement could use some good folk songs, and that time her father taught her that reading Shakespeare could be just as enlightening as going to therapy. www.theatricum.com

From social media activism to systemic change, this conversation explores how creativity and innovation can fuel a global movement for good.⸻ Article ⸻ Sometimes, the best stories are the ones that keep unfolding — and Michael Sheldrick's journey is exactly that. When we first spoke, Global Citizen had just (almost) released their book From Ideas to Impact. This time, I invited Michael back on Redefining Society and Technology because his story didn't stop at the last chapter.From a high school student in Western Australia who doubted his own potential, to co-founding one of the most influential global advocacy movements — Michael's path is a testament to what belief and purpose can spark. And when purpose is paired with music, technology, and strategic activism? That's where the real magic happens.In this episode, we dig into how Global Citizen took the power of pop culture and built a model for global change. Picture this: a concert ticket you don't buy, but earn by taking action. Signing petitions, tweeting for change, amplifying causes — that's the currency. It's simple, smart, and deeply human.Michael shared how artists like John Legend and Coldplay joined their mission not just to play music, but to move policy. And they did — unlocking over $40 billion in commitments, impacting a billion lives. That's not just influence. That's impact.We also talked about the role of technology. AI, translation tools, Salesforce dashboards, even Substack — they're not just part of the story, they're the infrastructure. From grant-writing to movement-building, Global Citizen's success is proof that the right tools in the right hands can scale change fast.Most of all, I loved hearing how digital actions — even small ones — ripple out globally. A girl in Shanghai watching a livestream. A father in Utah supporting his daughters' activism. The digital isn't just real — it's redefining what real means.As we wrapped, Michael teased a new bonus chapter he's releasing, The Innovator. Naturally, I asked him back when it drops. Because this conversation isn't just about what's been done — it's about what comes next.So if you're wondering where to start, just remember Eleanor Roosevelt's quote Michael brought back:“The way to begin is to begin.”Download the app. Take one action.
