Miljoenennota en Troonrede waren ‘beleidsarm’, want zo vlak voor Kamerverkiezingen zou een demissionair kabinet met minimale steun in het parlement zich terughoudend opstellen. Moesten de Algemene Politieke Beschouwingen die afgelopen week plaatsvonden dan niet eveneens 'beleidsarm' zijn? Het tegendeel bleek. Jaap Jansen en PG Kroeger zagen liefst drie edities van de APB tegelijk. Op sommige punten werden allerminst 'beleidsarme' initiatieven en politieke conclusies geagendeerd. De eerste verkenningen van een 'post-Schoof-Nederland'. *** Deze aflevering is mede mogelijk gemaakt met donaties van luisteraars die we hiervoor hartelijk danken. Word ook vriend van de show!

Geert Wilders was van leider van regeringsfractie PVV weer oppositie geworden en dat liet-ie horen. Hij strooide dystopische beweringen rond over 'nationale zelfmoord' en dat binnen een jaar nadat hijzelf de zon zou laten schijnen. Wilders slaakte furieuze kreten van rancune over de mislukking van zijn coalitie en zijn verspeelde premierschap en erkende openlijk de kloof met zijn eigen PVV-bewindslieden. Met voorstellen die grondwettelijke vrijheden en rechten van burgers zouden schrappen, bouwde de PVV-leider een eigen cordon sanitaire naar alle andere partijen. Om zich vervolgens luidkeels te beklagen over tegenwerking en opnieuw een aanstaand premierschap op te eisen. De tweede Algemene Politieke Beschouwingen was een debatfase van indringende en hoogwaardige gedachtewisseling tussen de klassieke partijen rond het midden. Minister Eelco Heinen (Financiën) had daarbij het geluk dat zijn krakkemikkige begroting nauwelijks aandacht kreeg. Partijen als VVD, GroenLinks-PvdA, CDA, D66 en ChristenUnie verkenden veel meer elkaars bereidheid tot consensusvorming en handreikingen. Maar zochten daarbij ook het debat over elkaars eigen profiel en visie. Frans Timmermans (GroenLinks-PvdA) ontpopte zich nadrukkelijk als verbindende staatsman die zijn wens van een ‘sociale vooruitgangscoalitie’ uitbouwde door allianties te smeden. De ‘buffelboete" werd zo ineens een nieuw Haags begrip. Henri Bontenbal (CDA) kon op drie lange termijn doelen resultaten boeken, waarmee hij zich als generalist profileerde. De andere fracties benaderden hem allang niet meer als die 'energie-nerd' met zijn splinterpartijtje. Hij werd scherp bevraagd. Net als overigens eenling Joost Eerdmans (JA21), die niet wist wat hem overkwam. Dilan Yesilgöz (VVD) had moeite haar tegenbod van ‘een centrumrechts kabinet’ concreet te maken. Rob Jetten (D66) voelde er niets voor. En de door Yesilgöz graag in zo’n kabinet gewenste JA21 en BBB vlogen bovendien elkaar in de haren. Een offensief tegen 'links' op financieel-economische thema's kwam niet op gang. Integendeel, de VVD sloot zelfs een deelakkoord met de Socialistische Partij. De derde Algemene Politieke Beschouwingen gingen over de bijna vergeten Troonrede. Zo werd de opmerkelijke passage over de Nederlandse militaire inzet in Polen nauwelijks genoteerd. En 'klimaat' leek als thema verdampt. De vage zorgen in de rede over het Midden-Oosten werden gehoond bij gebrek aan concrete actie, zoals voor kinderen in Gaza. Premier Dick Schoof ging ten onder in retorisch geweld. Schoofs pijnlijk gebrek aan politiek repertoire herinnerde eens te meer aan een interview kort voor zijn premierschap, toen hij nog de hoogste ambtenaar was op Justitie. Daarin gaf hij aan zich vooral senang te voelen als uitvoerder van andermans politieke richtlijnen. Burgemeester in oorlogstijd zou hij nooit worden, dacht hij toen. *** Verder luisteren 529 – Schoten voor de boeg in de verkiezingscampagne https://vriendvandeshow.nl/bb/episodes/529-schoten-voor-de-boeg 525 –Wat Brainport Eindhoven ons leert en hoe we onze economie nóg toekomstbestendiger kunnen maken https://vriendvandeshow.nl/bb/episodes/525-wat-brainport-eindhoven-ons-leert-en-hoe-we-onze-economie-nog-toekomstbestendiger-kunnen-maken 524 - Met een wrakhoutkabinet naar de verkiezingen https://vriendvandeshow.nl/bb/episodes/524-met-een-wrakhoutkabinet-naar-de-verkiezingen 521 - Hoe saaier de politiek, hoe gelukkiger het land https://vriendvandeshow.nl/bb/episodes/521-hoe-saaier-de-politiek-hoe-gelukkiger-het-land 517 - Na de champagne de campagne https://art19.com/shows/betrouwbare-bronnen/episodes/a98527fb-b8fb-49cb-a102-fab43ff3185f 514 – De 'andere waarheid' na Schoof https://art19.com/shows/betrouwbare-bronnen/episodes/ad370858-1ae4-447b-8d4b-1bcf7bc33ac2 502 – Schipperen, laveren, boot afhouden en bakzeil halen.

In this episode of The Psychedelic Podcast, host Paul F. Austin welcomes Brian Robertson—creator of Holacracy and founder of Ledgeway Sangha—for a thought-provoking conversation at the intersection of organizational design, spiritual community, and psychedelic practice. Find full show notes and links here: https://thethirdwave.co/podcast/episode-315/?ref=278 Best known for reimagining how companies structure authority through Holacracy, Brian now brings his systems-level insight into the realm of psychedelic spirituality. He shares the origin and mission of Ledgeway Sangha, a legal psychedelic church rooted in peer-to-peer healing, communal practice, and non-dogmatic love. Together, Paul and Brian explore how this innovative model bypasses conventional hierarchy, integrates softer entheogens like 2C-B and 6-APB, and builds a path toward legal protection for churches operating outside mainstream psychedelic frameworks. Brian Robertson is best known for creating Holacracy, the most comprehensive framework in the world today for running self-managed companies using a decentralized power structure in lieu of a traditional management hierarchy. He's founded and built many organizations over the past 30 years as an entrepreneur, including HolacracyOne, which helps companies use self-management to unleash creativity and empowered leadership, and the software company GlassFrog, which helps both traditional and self-managed companies drive organizational transparency, agility, and alignment to purpose. To date, tens of thousands of companies in over 50 countries have embraced his pioneering methods and ideas, and his frequent public speaking seamlessly weaves between business, management, consciousness, and love. Brian is currently focused on building Ledgeway Sangha, an entheogenic church and community-building organization that's harnessing psychedelics to help people release judgments and resistances into loving acceptance of all that is. Highlights: From Holacracy to entheogenic spirituality Why Ledgeway Sangha has no doctrine or belief system Love as the norming force in community 2C-B and 6-APB as self-integrating medicines The case for subtle, sovereign psychedelic journeys A new model of psychedelic integration through consistency Why hierarchy undermines safe psychedelic containers Legal strategies under the Religious Freedom Restoration Act Creating a church for mystics, not priests Poetry, presence, and redefining spiritual transmission Episode links:  Ledgeway Sangha Holacracy Brian's social media Episode Sponsor: Golden Rule Mushrooms - Get a lifetime discount of 10% with code THIRDWAVE at checkout The Practitioner Certification Program by Third Wave's Psychedelic Coaching Institute.
