How do we shed the shackles of modernity and step into a new set of stories that could help us grow into the fullness of our potential? Alexander Beiner is one of a small band of people in our culture who is shaping the cutting edge of possibility, crafting new ideas of who we are, at the deepest levels of our Self and out into the widest view of our place as conscious nodes in the web of life. Ali is an author, journalist and facilitator focused on bringing new ways of seeing and being from the margins of culture into the mainstream, through writing, and by creating transformative experiences that invite us to find ways to evolve and thrive in the chaotic times we live in. He's the author of The Bigger Picture: How psychedelics can help us make sense of the world that details his part in a psychedelic clinical trial that took him deep into what it is to be human and he has recently launched Kainos, an alternative media platform and studio on both Substack and YouTube. He says of it, 'in an age of upheaval, we tell stories that help people make sense of the world and imagine new futures. Our films, articles and experiences combine cultural sensemaking with hope, imagination and impact.'He's an executive director of Breaking Convention, Europe's longest-running conference on psychedelic medicine and culture and was also one of the founders of Rebel Wisdom, which ran from 2017-2022 and explored the cutting-edge of systems change and cultural sensemaking. This is where we need to be: the edge place where spirituality meets psychology and mythology, where culture meets politics meets our desperate yearning to grow up and become the good enough ancestors we know we can be.  We need path-finders, people who have the courage to stretch out beyond the edges of our being and Alexander is so clearly one of these - his explorations of what makes us human in the psychedelic realm merge with his documentary making and Kainos takes up where Rebel Wisdom left off, delving deeply into the nature of the moment and how we might become more than we are.  This was a genuinely inspiring conversation in a series that I hope is helping you to make sense of these times, to accept that the old system is gone and that something truly generative could arise - if we all take part in its making.  Alexander Beiner website https://www.alexanderbeiner.com/Kainos on Substack https://beiner.substack.com/Alexander on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/alexander-beiner-b9aa8b19/Kainos on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/@StudioKainosBooks mentionedOf Water and the Spirit by Malidoma Some The Seven Basic Plots by Christopher Booker

In this special episode, we take a retrospective look at the 15-year anniversary journey of Pure Storage through the lens of the 7 classic story plots (based on the book by Christopher Booker). From "Overcoming the Monster" to "Rebirth," we explore how Pure's trajectory aligns with timeless narratives that have captivated audiences for centuries. Don Poorman, Technical Evangelist at Pure, joins the program to walk through each of the 7 plots and draw parallels to Pure's experiences - from scrappy startup battling industry giants, to quest for recognition and market leadership, to periods of comedy and tragedy. This retrospective episode is a fun listen for Pure enthusiasts and anyone fascinated by the power of storytelling in the tech world. As Pure emerges from the "intermission" of its first 15 years, we look ahead to the next chapter, where a "rebirth" of the company's platform vision will shape the future. We hope listeners are inspired to revisit classic literature and films that echo Pure's saga, and consider how the narratives that captivate us as individuals can also reveal deeper truths about the journeys of innovative companies.

The specialisation of our species is storytelling -- and yet, some people say, we are really just telling the same stories again and again. Welcome to Episode 69 of Everything is Everything, a weekly podcast hosted by Amit Varma and Ajay Shah. In this episode, Amit discusses the classic book by Christopher Booker, The Seven Basic Plots. Booker asserts that there are just seven storylines we recycle again and again -- and all of literature & Hollywood & Bollywood & Tollywood & Lollywood draw on these. What are they? Can there be more? Why should we never feel constrained as storytellers? What do Jaws, Sholay and the Russia-Ukraine war have in common?

JEREMY NIEBOER was educated at Harrow School and Oriel College Oxford. After a period practising as a member of the Bar in Kings Bench Walk he was later admitted as a solicitor becoming a partner in two City law firms. He specialised in corporate work, including mergers and acquisitions, capital market public offerings, private equity transactions and commercial law. Hestill acts for a few long-standing clients. His first encounter with any challenge to the accepted doctrine of ‘global warming' came through his contact with Christopher Booker, whom Jeremy first met when acting as lead solicitor on the application by Lord Rees-Mogg to restrain ratification of the Maastricht Treaty. Christopher himself published his essential work The Real Global Warming Disaster in 2009. Just at the time of its publication, there was a public meeting in Church House addressed by Professor Plimer in which he succinctly set out the fundamental scientific flaws of alleged CO2 driven global warming. It was this that set Jeremy on a path of enquiry and research. Jeremy has since spoken at numerous meetings as to the want of any tenable scientific basis forthe vast proposed expenditure on the folly of de-carbonisation. He published his first booklet on climate alarmism with the Bruges Group in 2010, A Lesson in Democracy, and has been a leadspeaker at public meetings and debates on the subject.

GUEST HOST: Jeremy Beck filling in for Dean Mackin. On today's show, Dr. Robert Verkerk discusses several critical subjects. First, he addresses the concerning issue of PFAS "forever chemicals" and evaluates whether government authorities are adequately acknowledging their toxicity. Moving on, he explores the potential dangers associated with 5G technology. Dr. Verkerk also provides updates from the Alliance for Natural Health International, highlighting two key points: the factors contributing to accelerated cancer rates and autoimmune flare-ups, and the significant drop in birth rates in England and Wales, delving into the underlying reasons behind this decline. Later, Jeremy Nieboer discusses CO2's role in climate and energy. He questions if recent events are making politicians realize its importance. He critiques costly Climate Change approaches and challenges past energy policies. He points out limitations of wind, solar, and biomass sources. Despite subsidies, low-carbon sources contribute minimally to the UK's energy. He counters the idea of CO2 as a suffocating blanket, emphasizing its vital role. Nieboer suggests more CO2 could mean surplus food and lower prices, especially for the disadvantaged. GUEST 1 OVERVIEW: Dr Robert Verkerk founded the Alliance for Natural Health International (ANH-Intl) in 2002 and has acted as its executive and scientific director since this time. He has directed legal actions to protect the right to natural health and has campaigned on diverse issues including against toxins in the food supply, in drinking water and in the environment, as well as against genetically modified foods, gene editing and transhumanism. He has been among the leading scientists exposing the distorted science during the COVID-19 crisis as well as in risk analysis as used by drug and food regulators. He is a recognised pioneer in the development of novel, scientifically rational risk-benefit assessment approaches as well as a new, sustainable model for community-based health regeneration. He is also the scientific director of the Alliance for Natural Health's US office and a Fellow of the American College of Nutrition.  GUEST 2 OVERVIEW: JEREMY NIEBOER was educated at Harrow School and Oriel College Oxford.

Christopher Booker really thought he was being slick when he said there are only 7 basic plots - but after some thoughtful research I think we've beat him by 4. When it comes to internet videos, there are only three plots as far as we're concerned: guy gets hit in nuts, animal does something cool, and redneck has nice life. Dont @ us, we've done our homework. Zach gets confused by the Elvis movie, Jared has three specific questions before he goes to a concert, and Adam would be bummed to meet Slimer in heaven. Talking Points Include: Big Time Rush in 2022, Harry Styles ft. Michael Jordan, Slime Consistency, Eating Contest in Heaven, Idiot Factor Returns, Uphill Skiing, The Chuck Machine

Livestock production--primarily cows--produce 14.5 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions. The majority of that is in the form of methane, a potent greenhouse gas that is a natural byproduct of how some livestock process food. But as Christopher Booker reports, scientists are hoping that small tweaks in what cows eat can dramatically reduce a big source of climate emissions.
