Today we are joined by SB Divya who wrote the science fiction novel Meru and helps us think about potential futures on Earth. Meru as we discuss in this episode is a future in which tech is developed based on imaginations of current technology and science and possibilities unknown but conceivable.

Musician Jake Blount delves into the intersection of Afrofuturism and folk music, particularly emphasizing its relevance in reshaping narratives of the past and envisioning alternative futures. He highlights the concept of the trans historic feedback loop, wherein the reinterpretation of historical narratives influences present and future understandings. Blount illustrates how this loop applies to his music, particularly in the context of addressing climate change. Blount's discussion extends to the transformative power of traditional folk songs, which he sees as ripe for reinterpretation to address contemporary issues. By altering lyrics and themes, he adapts these songs to speak to the challenges of the present, particularly the looming climate crisis. This process not only updates the meaning of the songs but also engages listeners in critical conversations about the future. Series: "Arts Channel " [Humanities] [Arts and Music] [Show ID: 39553]

Germany economic decline & alternative futures - Maximilian Krah, Alexander Mercouris, Glenn Diesen

This week on Tub Talks, we soak in with one of my Esalen and Big Sur elders, Vicki Topp. Vicki has practiced bodywork for many decades alongside our first Tub Talks guest, Deborah Anne Medow. Vicki shares her journey of landing in Big Sur, as well as her immersion into the world of bodywork (massage therapy and other practices). She even demonstrates her skill set on my body during the bath! In the immediate aftermath of an eye injury the evening before our soak, Vicki opens the conversation with her original concept of something she calls ‘alternative futures': a theory that guides her through encountering the possibilities of how to navigate life experiences, including the difficult ones. Falling pregnant in college, Vicki dropped out of law school and found herself in Big Sur. From working with elementary school children at Pacific Valley School in the south coast of Big Sur to starting the massage program at Ventana in Big Sur, Vicki details how Big Sur has always “kept her.” She compares her life in Big Sur to a long term relationship, seeing how her dynamic has shifted and adapted over the years. She tells us about her relationship to learning, to housing, to dating, to boats. She talks about losing friends to death as a result of brainwashing in experimental groups in the 70's. She talks about losing friends now, as she enters a different phase of life. Vicki uses bodywork as her way of impacting society, teaching her technique across the world. Vicki's experience of practicing bodywork is defined by working with a client, as opposed to working on someone. She describes bodywork metaphorically. She sees parallels to life through something she calls ‘reach patterns.' Reach patterns are both physical and emotional. They can delineate the way we reach for our dreams, or expand the length of our arms from our body. Vicki claims to have grown reach patterns in her body, while being limited in her life goals. Vicki gives us permission to be unapologetically ourselves through her demonstration of how. Vicki paves the way by showing us how to be a strong, independent, intelligent woman. Her vulnerability and honesty about being lost in a nowness is permissive too. So soak in her wisdom, and learn a little bit more about Big Sur culture and the stewarding of the land through living as Vicki Topp! To join Secular Sabbath membership, you can find us at secular-sabbath.com/membership.

#031 - The future can seem like a figment of our imagination and devoid of reality. Our mind naturally creates multiple scenarios of how the future might unfold but we either ignore them or get worried about them.In this episode, I speak with designer, facilitator and futures literacy educator Lena Tünkers on futures literacy and how we can use the future to shape the present. Lena mentions how analysing alternate versions of the future can be a powerful exercise in making them a reality. Lena also shares simple techniques you can use to reframe your imagined futures.In this episode:What is futures literacy and how you can get better at itProbably, desirable and alternative futuresReframing assumptions of the futureCreating future personasGetting buy-in for future scenarios in organisationsand much more!ShownotesLena Tünkershttps://www.linkedin.com/in/lenatuenkers/https://www.lenatuenkers.com/Sign up to Lena's course ‘Using Futures in Practice' starting in March 2023https://www.designfeeling.co/lenaStefan Bergheimhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/stefanbergheim/Causal Layered Analysis Frameworkhttps://medium.com/foresight-matters/using-causal-layered-analysis-for-transformational-change-51b461bbfffbBackcastinghttps://fourweekmba.com/backcasting/Show creditsIllustrations by Isa Vicentehttps://www.instagram.com/isadezgz/Music by Brad Porterhttps://prtr.co/Follow Design Feeling on social!

The Lindisfarne Tapes are selected recordings of presentations and conversations at the Lindisfarne Fellows' meetings. In March of 2013 William Thompson granted permission to the Schumacher Center for a New Economics to transfer the talks from the old reel-to-reel tapes to digital format so that they could be posted online and shared freely. In 2021, the Schumacher Center used the digital audio to create the Lindisfarne Tapes Podcast. Reposting should include acknowledgment of williamirwinthompson.org.

Deshaun Watson is the sun at the center of the Houston Texans. Orange and wonderful. Glowing and sublime. The rest of the franchise spins around him, and him alone. He's the entirety of everything. He's the only thing that matters this season. He's why the Houston Texans beat the New England Patriots once again. He's the reason why the future should be something to believe in, even if there are so many reasons not to. On this episode of Battle Red Radio, Stephanie Stradley stops by to discuss Watson's performance against New England and the overall state of the franchise. Topics include: Watson being his own person in Houston's offense, Rick Smith's interview discussing the decision to trade up for him, the wide variety of things that ruined their 2020 NFL Season, the Gnostic Aarchon that is Jack Easterby, future front office decisions, the enduring legacy of Bill O'Brien, other things to watch for during the remainder of the 2020 NFL Season, and of course, your beautiful listener questions.

Crossposting an interview Laborwave Radio host, Alex Riccio, had with Joseph Orosco of the Anarres Project for Alternative Futures about the #ScholarStrike. The recent online #ScholarStrike claimed to be a way for higher ed faculty to engage in radical action in support of racial justice and against police violence in the US. In the conversation I argue that the #ScholarStrike missed big opportunities for social change and revealed some misunderstandings that many academics have about power and their own place in systems of oppression. Rather than have digital conferences, higher education workers should build alternative organizations to challenge the power structure of their universities to bring racial justice to the BIPOC staff and community that work at their institutions.

What if there had been no World War I, or no Russian Revolution? Or if the German Spring Offensive of 1918 had succeeded? What if Napoleon had won at Waterloo in 1815, or if Martin Luther had not nailed his complaints to the church door at Wittenberg in 1517, or if the South had won the American Civil War, or at least not lost it? The questioning of apparent certainties or "known knowns" can be fascinating and, indeed, "What if?" books are very popular. However, this speculative approach, known as counterfactualism, has had limited impact in academic histories, historiography, and the teaching of historical methods. In Other Pasts, Different Presents, Alternative Futures (Indiana University Press, 2015), premier historian and public commentator Professor Jeremy Black, CMG offers a guide to the subject, one that is designed to argue its value as a tool for public and academe alike. Professor Black focuses on the role of counterfactualism in demonstrating the part of contingency, and thus human agency, in history, and the salutary critique the approach offers to determinist accounts of past, present, and future. An all-round splendid book by one of the historical profession’s past masters. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

CommonSpace editor Ben Wray speaks to Craig Dalzell, head of policy & research at the Common Weal think-tank, about their new report with research & design collective Lateral North, 'Back to Life: Visions of Alternative Futures for Scotland's Grouse Moors'. The report challenges the case made by the landed gentry lobby that grouse moors are economically beneficial to Scotland's economy, instead contrasting the gross value added and jobs created in grouse moors to other land uses such as forestry, renewables agriculture, housing and sustainable tourism. Wray and Dalzell discuss: - How much of Scotland is taken up by Grouse Moors? - Are the economic alternatives to shooting estates really viable? - How can land use and ownership be challenged to make it work for the common good?

We interviewed Dr. Jose Antonio Orosco, professor of Philosophy, director of Peace Studies, and co-founder of the Anarres Project for Alternative Futures. Dr. Orosco spoke with us about the importance of the Mexican Revolution, describing it as a "confluence of liberal, grassroots anarchists, and indigenous peasant organizing," for informing our notions of revolution today. He connected many of the ideas within the Mexican Revolution to current manifestations of social rebellion, particularly the Zapatista uprising in Chiapas, Mexico. Dr. Orosco also touched on the significance of utopian and dystopian works for providing lessons about our social world and its possibilities, and explained the origins of the Anarres Project for Alternative Futures.

While we cannot with certainty predict the future, hypotheses abound. The National Intelligence Council lays out several such hypotheses in their new report, “Global Trends 2030: Alternative Worlds.” The report suggests four major trends that will shape the world over the coming decades: individual empowerment, diffusion of power among nations, demographic shifts and natural resource challenges.

Burrows is the Director of Strategic Foresight Initiative at the Atlantic Council.For more information about this event please visit: http://www.worldaffairs.org/events/event/1330
