Derek Russo is a Brooklyn, NY based deejay, producer, promoter & educator. Russo has come to possess a unique sound culled from years of digging and DJing a variety of gigs. Bred in Washington, D.C. he spent 14 years in Colorado and was an integral component of the small but rock solid underground scene there. He's now based in thriving Brooklyn, NY. His DJ sets can run across the board and is adept at delivering high-energy sets of Boogie, Funk, Balearic and Disco, next to deeper narratives combining House & Techno with leftfield excursions into more complex rhythms that blur those lines, finding the unique thread amongst it all, and always combining older gems with newer music. "I put a loose pile of records together and pressed record, the goal being to present a micro journey through different strands and moods of house and techno, old and new, mostly stuff I've acquired in the last year and some older favourites that I love. Recorded in my apartment in Brooklyn. Thanks for listening :)" Check out Derek's latest 'Club Cuckoo' EP on his own imprint, Broad Channel... it slaps! https://www.juno.co.uk/products/derek-russo-club-cuckoo/908938-01/

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Land Ho!, published by Zvi on January 20, 2022 on LessWrong. I love this modest proposal so much I am making an exception to my no-New-York-Times rule, and split it off from what was going to be a bonus section in the weekly Covid post. Time to think big. Both Mayors Bill de Blasio and Michael Bloomberg offered climate-change plans that included extending the shoreline along the East River in Lower Manhattan. But these proposals, while admirable, would be small steps and would hardly make a dent with problems of such big scale. This new proposal offers significant protection against surges while also creating new housing. To do this, it extends Manhattan into New York Harbor by 1,760 acres. This landfill development, like many others in the city's past, would reshape the southern Manhattan shoreline. We can call the created area New Mannahatta (drawn from the name the Lenape gave to Manhattan). It quickly became fashionable to mock this proposal. This is a sign of civilizational decline and inadequacy, because we used to do this kind of thing all the time and (unless there's some logistical problem I'm missing that on one is talking about) it's obviously insanely great. The objections seem to be: Ha ha. Get a load of the nerd. Who thinks America can do things, like, ever. New York, in particular, ha ha. Also, how would more housing help with a shortage of housing? And how dare you build things when climate change is coming? Evil bunch of idiot nerds. I volunteer to be the mayoral candidate of the New Amsterdam (which is the obviously correct neighborhood name if we're not making a multi-billion-dollar endorsement deal) party. My other platforms will include free and expanded subway service paid for at least in part by a 3%/year property tax surcharge on vacant apartments and houses, ending rent control on all new or vacant apartments, approval of all new construction everywhere, permanent outdoor dining, and ending of all city-based occupational licensing requirements. Construction costs will be paid for temporarily by a bond issue, then repaid with interest by a 100% tax on the unimproved value of the newly created land. This was a proposal in The New York Times, so of course it was necessary to lead with talk about protection against climate change. That did not of course stop stupid people from saying how stupid it would be to build things at sea level, no matter how much this was used as part of a project to protect the city, because guarding against climate change doesn't involve the proper moral repentance, so it doesn't count. The link is a New York Post article where this is the best objection they could find. Not everyone is on board, however. In a response piece for Curbed, writer Willy Blackmore pointed out that the “closest counterpart” to Barr's New Mannahatta are the landfill-based neighborhoods that Robert Moses constructed along the Jamaica Bay waterfront. “How have those fared over the years?” Blackmore quipped. “Queen's Broad Channel — with its houses on stilts extending over marsh-grass-dotted shallows — is arguably the most flood-prone neighborhood in the city, and has the highest proportion of repeat flood-insurance claims.” Did you know that you can use better designs instead of worse designs, and you can be more compatible with life in your creations than Robert Moses? Literally the previous sentence is this: “Building the land at a higher elevation would further improve its protective ability, and the new peninsula could recreate historic ecologies and erect environmental and ecological research centers dedicated to improving the quality of New York's natural world,” he said. Ah, indulgences and offsets that make it clear that people's true objections always lied elsewhere. Urbanization looks like humans doing useful things, so even though it ...

Jake Sasseville, CEO of Imiloa Insitute, has been a successful podcast host, television personality and is a unique character creating space and connection for people to thrive. His journey is baked rich with life lessons, wisdom nuggets, entertaining twists, courageous leaps and inspiring growth leaps. In 2012, Hurricane Sandy washed away Jake's home on Broad Channel, NYC. His life up-ended, losing his TV contracts and being forced to move into Grandma's Basement, in Lewiston,Maine. Grandma's Basement, by those who follow him, have become synonymous with a Dark Night of the Soul. He lived there for two years, searching for what he would do next. After moving to Maui from his grandma's basement and becoming friends with Ram Dass and Shep Gordon, Sasseville became interested in the world of transformation as he saw the trend of health and wellness. He also was hosting people in his 2,500 square foot home and cottage in Kula, Hawaii. He created Imiloa in response to the trend toward health and wellness but also recognizing that human beings want to feel at home in their transformation. It is well known that Jake approached his soon-to-be-business partner Nadav Wilf four times with the idea of Imiloa before Wilf got inspired by the idea. The pair in 2017 notoriously raised $3.5 million in five Facebook posts, making a dent in the social impact world of investing by gathering 38 investors from 19 countries for Imiloa's formation. The first of 7 planned inter-continental institutes. Imiloa is in the Dominical mountains of Costa Rica. and is a transformational retreat center specializing in group experiences and eco-luxury with plant-based cuisine.

“Do not allow the circumstance to dictate your future; you are the creator of your future.” In this episode, I spoke with the incredible Deven Rodriguez. He is an inspiring life coach, army officer, author, and host of The One Life Podcast. He is so passionate about helping others understand more about themselves to progress and reach their goals in life. He will be sharing his inspiring life journey and the valuable life lessons he gathered from it. Let’s dive right into this episode and learn more about perseverance, creating your future, and the law of attraction. [00:01 – 04:00] Opening Segment I introduce our guest, Deven Rodriguez. I talk about how we met. Deven shares his background and childhood story. He was born and raised in NYC. Left by his biological father Deven shares about his stepfather, who later became his coach and mentor. [04:01 – 15:27] Not Letting your Circumstances to Define your Results Deven shares his experience when he moved to Broad Channel in New York. He faced a relentless cycle of racism and bullying. Deven shares the lesson he got from his story. He learned that he had the ability to determine his future by himself. Do not allow the circumstance to dictate your future; you are the creator of your future. He learned a little bit about perseverance by staying the course. Deven shares his highschool experience. Met a woman who funded him to go to a private school. Deven shares about the second pivotal moment in his life with his stepfather. If anybody can reach their success, so do you. Go against your barrier, and get a breakthrough. Once you are willing to get out of your mental prison, you can do anything you want and create your desired future. Deven shares the story of his grandmother’s death and the lesson he got from it. Time is finite, but the legacy that you leave can be infinite and live on forever. Turning your pain into empowerment The way we attached to our past is how we define ourselves in the present. Deven shares the story of his college experience. He shares his college achievements, although he fell off his freshman year and had to take 21 credit hours. Take the courage to step into the possibility instead of limiting yourself from creating what you desire. Deven shares how he got into the military. [15:28 – 32:20] Owning Your Story Deven shares about the three layers of his story Examine your own personal narratives to be a better person The story about who you are The story that you are telling the outside world about who you are. The hyperreal Examine what you are posting on your social media and notice how we describe ourselves The story that we tell ourselves about who we are The internal dialog that we have in our heads. Who we think we are in the present state. The story that we want to tell ourselves about who we are All the goals and desires that we have. Take each part of the story, and you'll come to a massive realization that most of the time, people are living in direct contradiction with all parts of their story. It’s only one were able to use all three parts of the story synergistically that we can actually become the person that we want to become in the future. Deven talks about closing the gap between the stories. When you try to reframe things, everything changes. Being flexible and open-minded enough to understand that you might be living your life inauthentically without you realize it. We have to go against the grain of how we're designed as human beings if we want to progress. Evaluating your own narratives Be mentally flexible and open-minded. Willing to accept feedback and be self-aware. [32:21 – 38:22] Creating the Picture of Who We Want to Become Deven talks about how to create the picture of the person we want to be Begin with the end in mind Close your eyes and imagine that you have died Reflect and think of how people would say about you, the legacy you left, etc. You will get clear on what is actually important. Only when you can align yourself with that long-term legacy vision that you can start to formulate the picture of the person you want to become. Deven shares his personal mission statement. He talks about the importance of having a personal mission statement. Happiness is transient; it comes, and it goes, but fulfillment is something that never dies. [38:23 – 50:15] The Law of Attraction We can only know what we want once we know who we want to become Picture in your mind what would happen when you achieve your goal Tap into the understanding of how that would make you feel. Internalize the emotions and the impact so you can start acting as it is already happening You can't control everything that happens, but you can control your response to everything that happens around you. Your response will dictate your action, and your action will dictate your results. Every level that you're trying to progress up to requires a different you. Deven talks about the momentum aspect. Deven talks about Earl Nightingale. Watch a video on youtube called the strangest secret for one week every day. Be in the constant pursuit of what you want. When you go after what you want with intensity, things will come to you along the way when the time is right. [50:16 – 56:20] Closing Segment Knowing what you know now, what is one piece of advice for starting? Focus on the important things, always have principles, virtues, and values as your guidance. Don’t be occupied with the urgency of the day to the day list, but align yourself with what is important to you. Start doing things that are important to you, and life will become better. You will go through it or grow through it. Connect with Deven online. See the links below.
