Apriorian is contrasted with induction or phenomenology. In other words, it is a system and world-view which serves as a mirror-image to what this present world believes. Whereas people think this world or universe is all there is, Apriorians know this world is as the experts say it is, but we know there must be a further reality. Your reality proves this other reality must exist. This also means everything in this present world view, which does not work, has its mirror image that does work. In other words if this world is dysfunctional, corrupted by the Ten Great Evils of unemployment, debt, poverty, inflation, pollution, waste, taxation, homelessness, war, and injustice. It only takes a new way of thinking to eliminate these evils.

Armstrong, CFA, is President and Co-Founder of Monument Wealth Management, an independent wealth management firm he started in 2008 in Alexandria, Va. David received his BA from the University of South Carolina in Government & International Relations and his MBA at the University of South Carolina's Moore School of Business in International Finance. He was commissioned as a Second Lieutenant through the Navy ROTC program and served on Active Duty in the Marine Corps from 1990-1997 as an Artillery Officer and then received a secondary MOS as a Tank Officer. He re-entered the Selected Marine Corps Reserves in 2003 and served in several billets across the Artillery, Tank, and Light Armored Reconnaissance communities. He retired as a Lieutenant Colonel in late 2018.

In this episode of Moments in Leadership, U.S. Marine Corps Colonel Paul Merida and host David B. Armstrong discuss the early parts of his life and career, concluding with his time commanding one of the ‘Crown Jewels' of the Marine Corps, a Marine Expeditionary Unit. His insights provide useful lessons about how to manage disparate organizations over distance and differences.Leaders are sometimes thrown into positions where they have the training, but the sudden onset of responsibility hits them unexpectedly. Colonel Merida speaks to his initial leadership baptism when he was called off leave after initial infantry officer training and thrown into Embassy reinforcement operations in Libya with a short-called-up unit itself. The lessons of setting the tone and creating a climate of discipline are useful to people thrown into a leadership position without due warning. While everyone fashions themselves as the next great General or titan of industry, sometimes, perhaps more often than we want to think about, there exist those leaders who, through a misunderstanding of the environment, create a toxic environment that makes it hard to lead in. Understanding how to lead in this environment, and create a safe operational space for their subordinates. Managing and leading are different aspects of command in the Marine Corps. Colonel Merida addresses the difficulties of planning versus executing a plan, the different qualities a person in a leadership position needs to have, and the various intangibles a unit needs versus the bulletized tangibles. The ability to run massive, personnel and distance-based, organizations is probably the most unique aspect Colonel Merida brings to the Moments in Leadership podcast. Having the ability to harness different units, personnel, ships, and operations within a cohesive structure is part of building a climate, focusing on the basics, and creating a culture of learning. Colonel Merida overall provides a nuanced, unfiltered, and non-flinching look at leadership, followership, and teaching that have culminated in an illustrious career. Thank you for supporting the project (below) Please consider supporting this project on Supercast: Moments In Leadership Supercast  Want to support the project AND look cool at the gym or when you take your blouse off for a working party?

This episode is a unique look into the mind of one of our service's senior leaders days before a major hearing. Moreso than a typical CSPAN briefing of soundbites, the lister will be able to hear, in detail, plans to improve quality of life and lethality of Marines. The 20th Sergeant Major of the Marine Corps (SMMC), Carlos Ruiz, discusses the initiatives he plans to champion during his tenure as the SMMC and how Quality of Life improvement ultimately makes the Marine Corps a more lethal organization and force for the American public.   One of the most transformational questions asked of SgtMaj Ruiz is the state of the barracks. SMMC Ruiz discusses how the Marine Corps, at the most senior levels, are taking positive and tangible action to alleviate this most common and consequential of issues. SMMC Ruiz details the renovation plans and how the ability to move Marines may not be the ideal solution. SMMC Ruiz also details how the ability to press the ‘I believe' button is important and helps the whole process. One of the key adjacent tangents around the barracks issue is the use of Social Media as both a positive and a negative in allowing leaders to see what is behind typical ‘painting the rocks' inspections and true issues in the barracks. The barracks issue leads into larger priorities the SMMC is working on, specifically those issues tied to recruiting and retaining a quality force. The use of quality of life means the individual Marine needs to be looked at as a person and not merely as a number to fill a billet. Understanding that individual Marines have individual goals, lives, and, more importantly, options means the Marine Corps has to compete with a burgeoning American economy and the private sector. This key issue girds a lot of the arguments currently being aligned under Quality of Life 2030 initiatives.  The great tacticians will understand how best to use all of their supporting fires. In the battle to increase the Quality of Life 2030 for Marines, SMMC Ruiz understands and leans into using non-traditional and non-Marine Corps aligned organizations, such as PB Abbatte. Similarly, the increased and prominent use of Social Media allows the SMMC an unvarnished look into the Force and also allows Marines to see others providing skills perhaps unavailable in their own units. 1st Battalion 8th Marine Regiment is brought up as an example of a unit using Social Media for positive outcomes and showing how other units in the Marine Corps have used this new paradigm to their advantage. Quality of Life extends to Marines' careers and how they are brought along in their journey to become a future Sergeant Major of the Marine Corps. Understanding the Marine Corps' mission ultimately comes first does not mean Marines do not rate to have an honest conversation and transparency in how the Marine Corps plans to use them. Balancing the new generation of empowered, knowledge and opportunity-wise, Marines with the realities of the service is another priority SMMC wants to improve on while in his seat. While this episode does touch on leadership issues (taking care of subordinates, being a good sensor, and understanding how to accomplish the mission), it is more impactful for understanding the thought process and careful deliberation and contemplation senior/executive level leaders undergo to make their best arguments on behalf of their services and ultimately those who make the majority of those services strength, the enlisted. Thank you for supporting the project (below)Please consider supporting this project on Supercast: Moments In Leadership Supercast Want to support the project AND look cool at the gym or when you take your blouse off for a working party?

 At On The Way's microphone this month, Sophie Pappas: psychologist and psychotherapist, guides and enlightens us on the sometimes abstract subject of psychology and shows us the link with sustainable consumption. Our guest deciphers what deep psychological needs are and how they impact our decisions and therefore our consumption.  In one of our previous episode with Catherine Muller, we were already trying to understand why change is so complicated for the human brain. With Sophie, we invite you to continue this reflection and to get to know you a little more, as the 8 deep psychological needs are described.  Indeed, many of us feel concerned about climate change and ecology. Yet, just as many of us are wondering how to contribute, on our scale, to the improvement of the situation and especially to know where to start? Well, there is no universal answer. Indeed, what Sophie explains in this episode is that, according to our fundamental psychological needs, the way to approach sustainable consumption changes according to individuals.  But what are deep psychological needs? Conceptualized in the 70s by Taibi Khaler, using his «Process Communication» model, these 8 different deep psychological needs are present in each of us. Most importantly, we all have one or two deep psychological needs that are essential to our personality. Since they are essential, we must feed them positively in order to be motivated, dynamic, effective, … In short: feeling good in our head and comfortable in our shoes.  However, many of us spend our lives without even knowing the existence of these deep psychological needs. And yet, they are essential to our functioning and understanding them can be the first step towards individual action, aiming in particular at more responsible consumption.      Through this episode, discover the eight deep psychological needs of the Process Communication model and identify which ones suit you. Sophie guides us and illustrates these 8 concepts with concrete examples that will help you know your essential needs and especially identify how to approach sustainable consumption while taking into account each need…     Welcome and good listening!  

In this episode of Moments in Leadership, host David B. Armstrong spends time with retired Marine Colonel Stephen Davis, a veteran of the post-Vietnam War Marine Corps, the Reconnaissance Community, Joint Special Operations, and multiple combat tours up to the Regimental Command level, where they spend time discussing various topics related to hard-won lessons from the front lines combined with a realist take on what command, leadership, and management means. From Colonel Davis' initial training operations and three courts martial in his first week of command, the conversation discusses the concept of having, understanding, and being humble enough to ask for assistance from those who have been there before, namely the Staff Non-Commissioned Officers who have the inherent experience in an organization. This oft-ridden military maxim is buttressed by examples of not being wholly subservient to these people either and Colonel Davis provides examples where ‘stellar' Marines have cracked under pressure and changes have to be made to protect the troops.    Colonel Davis never expected to stay in the Marine Corps and some of the reasons he decided to make it a career early into it provide some examples of how leadership is often the primary determinant of wanting to belong, or conversely, to leave, an organization. Leaders make the culture. Colonel Davis subscribed to this notion enough that he made himself overly useful as an infantry officer in a Reconnaissance unit as its Supply Officer. This led to large dividends down the road in his command life and shows true leaders take opportunities, even if they appear bad, and make the best out of them.  The Reconnaissance Community instilled numerous values within Colonel Davis. Specifically, he learned how to lead overachievers, how sometimes metrics are not the best indicators of a ‘good' unit or Marine, and the differences between Management and Leadership.  One of the more interesting lessons Colonel Davis provides is on the concept of the combat leader. Colonel Davis leans into the idea that leaders need to be where they need to be, but not always at the front. He is also a believer that the line between a bad decision and the Medal of Honor is razor-thin and medal chasers have no business in the combat arms field.  Colonel Davis provides discussion points on the focus of a leader (the Commanding Officer) vice a manager (the Executive Officer/Chief of Staff) and how they are both important to the overall success of an organization.  The episode goes into Colonel Davis' time as the Regimental Combat Team 2 Commanding Officer and the successes (Manuever Warfare use of illusionary force structure in a Counterinsurgency environment to take ‘denied' strongholds in two days) and the failures (Moral issue sins of commission and omission with the Haditha killings) and how these incidents led to him once again blossoming to help with similar issues within the Naval Special Warfare Community, specifically moral injury, boundless loyalty, and who does a person owe their allegiance to. Overall, the episode is an insightful discussion about leadership, moral convictions, and the ability to take the best out of situations.  Thank you for supporting the project (below) Please consider supporting this project on Supercast: Moments In Leadership Supercast  Want to support the project AND look cool at the gym or when you take your blouse off for a working party?

SPECIAL THANKS TO MATT MIRANDA AND JEREMY KOFSKY FOR EDITING AND SHOW NOTES SUPPORTIn this episode of Moments in Leadership, retired Vice Admiral William (Bill) Merz and host David B. Armstrong discuss how life can take strange turns to making capable leaders, oftentimes through hard times and rough seas. VADM Merz has seen the depths of the ocean and the heights of a superiorly led organization. His insights are valuable to all those who don't want to be crushed under the everlasting burdens of leadership and ownership.  Learning the ‘personality' of an organization is similar to understanding the ‘personality' of a submarine, especially one as temperamental as the Thresher class submarine VADM Merz started on. Organizations that place a priority on the importance of the mission, expect professionalism in all duties, and have tangible results all work to produce leaders that all pull in the same direction. Setting a standard, and holding people to that standard, provides a way for people to see their potential and sets the conditions for them to operate at their best.  The standards of the submarine fleet are set by the accountability foisted upon the submarine's commanding officer. They are absolutely responsible and accountable for everything on the submarine, to include the safe and effective use of the nuclear powerplant. This stringent adherence to accountability, and the training/certification elements of a submarine officer's career has created the paradigm wherein, as VADM Merz states, ‘there will never be a second nuclear issue in the Navy, because after the first, the whole program will be shut down'.  To enforce accountability, and a learning culture, VADM Merz states one needs to celebrate mistakes, while this seems counterintuitive, the ability to distill failures to the procedural reason they occurred ultimately reinforces the accountability and ownership of the group. Conversely, good things happening by accident also needs to be investigated as procedures should result in predictable outcomes that can be repeatable.  A command climate that can foster this ‘celebration of mistakes' is one that empowers all within and displays consistency. A leader who yells all the time can be fine, as long as their yelling is consistent in its application. When the yelling has no purpose other than to get frustrations out, then the command climate will falter. A good command climate is also one in which junior leaders feel respected enough to stand up to senior leadership and tell them when things are not working in proper order. VADM Merz gives examples throughout his career of the good and bad coming out of these situations, including a time or two when he himself was the ‘bad' boss.  The wanting to be with the ‘best' can lead people away from their best instincts in a poor command influence. VADM Merz provides stories of working operations with Navy SEALs and how arguments between SEALs and submariners about tactics and rigging would be immediately smashed by senior SEALs, who would tell these highly proficient warriors they need to understand submarines are not their specialty and to let those who are experts in their areas execute the best way to support the mission. The best person is always the best person, you need the right person to perform the task.  Once the experts are identified in an area, an appropriate command climate is fostered, and mistakes can be celebrated, the didactic nature in which the submarine community approaches problems can be applied to any other number of problem sets. VADM Merz provides the example of his time as the 7th Fleet Commander having the lowest suicide rate in decades and being able to uncover unconscious bias within the ranks.   VADM Merz's concludes with the importance of gaining the trust of subordinates and using the  tools available to a commander, namely mast as a tool to correct and provide guidance to those who are accountable for carrying out the national-level high risk missions of the Submarine Service. For those who are looking for insights into the Silent Service or just want a more effective organization, this is a great conversation to be apart of.   Thank you for supporting the project (below) Please consider supporting this project on Supercast: Moments In Leadership Supercast  Want to support the project AND look cool at the gym or when you take your blouse off for a working party?

If he feels he owns his job and acts accordingly, he need not worry about his next job.Responsibility – Along with ownership comes the need for acceptance of full responsibility for the work. Shared responsibility means that no one is responsible. Unless one person who is truly responsible can be identified when something goes wrong, then no one has really been responsible.Attention to Detail – A tendency among managers, particularly as they move to higher positions, is to think they no longer need to be concerned with details. If the boss is not concerned about details, his subordinates also will not consider them important.Priorities – If you are to manage your job, you must set priorities. Too many people let the job set the priorities. You must apply self-discipline to ensure your energy is applied where it is most needed.Know What is Going On – You must establish simple and direct means to find out what is going on in detail in the area of your responsibility. I require regular, periodic reports directly to me from the personnel throughout my program.Hard Work – For this, there is no substitute. A manager who does not work hard or devote extra effort cannot expect his people to do so. You must set the example. Hard work compensates for many shortcomings. You may not be the smartest or most knowledgeable person, but if you dedicate yourself to the job and put in the required effort, your people will follow your lead.Checking Up – An essential element of carrying out my work is the need to have it checked by an independent source. Even the most dedicated individual make mistakes.Facing the Facts – Another principle for managing a successful program is to resist the natural human inclination to hope things will work out, despite evidence or doubt to the contrary. It is not easy to admit that what you thought was correct did not turn out that way. If conditions require it, one must face the facts and brutally make needed changes despite considerable cost and schedule delays. The man in charge must personally set the example in this area.” Moments in Leadership - Ron Boxall, VADM, US Navy (themiloffice.com) Admiral James A.

HUGE THANKS TO JEREMY KOFSKY AND MIKE CIFUENTES FOR THEIR HELP PRODUCING THIS EPISODE. War is everchanging, but its nature is everlasting. Sergeant Major Troy Black, in one of his last speaking engagements as the Sergeant Major of the Marine Corps (and right before his selection as the Senior Enlisted Advisor to the Chairman (SEAC), uses this mantra to guide the way he views Marines and the Marine Corps. This episode provides a unique look into how the Marine Corps is and will be in the future. This episode provides a glimpse into the conclave known only to former Sergeants Major of the Marine Corps, namely that first week and the feeling of, ‘What have I gotten myself into?' SgtMaj Black offers suggestions into how he would improve the process and make a more seamless transition benefiting such a high office, including dealing with Congress and mentorship with Sergeants Major across the Marine Corps.  SgtMaj Black discusses how evolution and revolution occur within the Marine Corps and why thinking five years ahead is the traditional minimum to make substantive enlisted changes. The slow pace is argued as a positive due to doctrine stating that the Marine defends its standard and discipline zealously. This is instilled through negotiables and non-negotiables that emphasize the nature of leadership and war while understanding that the character of war will change. While the non-negotiables provide clear guidance and direction, SgtMaj Black argues these are actually liberating to Marines to make the revolutionary changes they have made throughout their history.  Despite historic and historical declines in the recruitable population, SgtMaj Black details why the Marine Corps is still an attractive option to young Americans and to those already in the Marine Corps, including recruitment and retention numbers not slacking off despite the rest of the DoD's issues in these arenas. The thought of ‘This shit sucks' (my words, not his) is discussed as a thought of Marines getting out, and SgtMaj Black argues this is due to leaders, not to the Marine Corps, and that the grass will be just as brown on the outside.  The ‘inter-war' period of conflict is not new, and the Marine Corps is especially critical in those times. This period is important to the professional force as it allows for training, education, gain experience, and rest to be ready on day one of conflict to win. Part of this rest and training includes what leaders can learn from airplanes to make humans more high-performing individuals, including physical, social, and spiritual fitness. SgtMaj Black discusses how subcultures detract from the overall culture of the Marine Corps and serves to drive down the individual Marine's sense of community and belonging.  Despite advances in Artificial Intelligence, Hypersonics, and Robotics, SgtMaj Black states the Marines of today and the future will be of the same cloth as when he was a recruit. The adherence to the non-negotiables is the path to making the cloth the same.  Thank you for supporting the project (below) Please consider supporting this project on Supercast: https://mil.supercast.com Want to support the project AND look cool at the gym or when you take your blouse off for a working party?

‘The Enemy Doesn't Care About Your Status' - Upholding the Standard from the Front to Push Subordinates Forward.This episode is a unique and extremely rare look into what mentorship in the Marine Corps looks like and how Marines address each other and the issues facing the Marine Corps; head on. Lt Gen Bellon and SgtMaj Ruiz are the Command Element for both Marine Forces Reserve and Marine Forces Southern Command. Lt Gen Bellon is an active and violent supporter of engagement via social media and driving innovation in the Marine Corps. This episode, taped during a leadership mentor session to a company of graduating Lieutenants at The Basic School (TBS), is filled with great "Moments in Leadership" applicable both to the new Lieutenants in the audience and leaders of all stripes. Discussed is the ‘uncommon desire to serve' inherent within Marines, officers, and enlisted, being the bedrock of what makes the Marine Corps the organization it is today and serves as the great leveler within the Marine Corps. The newly announced 20th Sergeant Major of the Marine Corps discusses how standards, and the rigid adherence to those standards, serve as the bare minimum, and leaders need to drive to keep themselves and their subordinates to the utmost of those standards, to include something as innocuous as a formation for a subordinate. One of the most critical aspects of being a leader is the human component of it, namely the leader and their subordinates are both humans, with basic human wants and needs, like companionship. LtGen Bellon says one of the major initial pitfalls is currying favor with subordinates. Standards are how Marine officers fulfill their responsibility to those they lead. Dropping those standards is beneath those Marines a leader is charged with. Understanding and enforcing standards goes hand in hand with gaining the trust of those being led. The ability to do the hard tasks creates teams and organizations capable of being self-feeding and self-evolving organisms that can succeed despite losing people or changing missions. Creating an organization that can execute mission intent without being told is the ultimate goal of leaders, both officer and enlisted. Creating this trust in subordinates and leaders is gained through competence in both leader and leaders, which has the added benefit of granting high morale within a unit. One of the more unique aspects of this episode is the chance to hear the concerns of the newest generation of Marine Corps leaders and the thoughts of some of the most senior leaders on those issues. Topics discussed include Force Design 2030, Talent Management, mentorship and self-education, and Reserve timing/manning issues. Thank you for supporting the project (below)Please consider supporting this project on Supercast: https://mil.supercast.comWant to support the project AND look cool at the gym or when you take your blouse off for a working party?

This episode is a look towards the past and how the core of a good leader is timeless. Lt Gen Gregory Newbold, the Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU) commander of Operation Restore Hope and later on the Director of Operations for the Joint Chiefs of Staff, is a leader with an unwavering desire to be responsible to those he leads. This episode provides a glimpse behind the curtain into a oft misunderstood, or even mysterious, selection process of being selected as a Marine Corps general and the gut wrenching decisions that must be made to ensure only the very very best are selected for that rank.   Lt Gen Newbold discusses the acronym ‘DILLICLAP' (Do I Look Like I Can Lead A Platoon) and how that sets the baseline for how leaders can begin to model themselves to their units. Conversely, Newbold also provides examples of how those who don't measure up to the standards of the organization or the unit can still be learning experiences for others. The cornerstone of DILLICLAP is for someone to try hard to learn both the art and science of the job and perform in both the actual job and in taking care of subordinates. Upholding and clearly stating standards will imbue an organization full of subordinates more likely to push further than they might have on their own. They are not looking for friends, they are looking for structure, standards, and setting the example.  These dictums are seen as nearly universal, even with a unit that previously burned down their company headquarters. The ability to give people focus and goals is critical as a milieu in which to set structure, standards, and the example.  Dealing with friction with leaders is an oft-forgotten aspect of being in charge. Leaders can and do disagree, it is how to handle those situations from policy disagreements to an incoherent and sleep deprived Regimental Commander, whilst maintaining professionalism and the interests of those you lead that helps in forging a true leader. Speaking truth to power and being imaginative with limited resources provides outsized effects to the overall mission, as Lt Gen Newbold discusses when talking about his experiences with the 15th MEU and Operations Restore Hope, to include the fabled live ‘secret' beach landing in Somalia.  Along with the structure of leadership is the moral courage to stick up for those being led. Lt Gen Newbold provides several examples of this from his time as a Battalion, MEU, and national level staff officer, particularly his decision to resign in the face of his beliefs over the invasion of Iraq in 2003. Thank you for supporting the project (below) Please consider supporting this project on Supercast: https://mil.supercast.com Want to support the project AND look cool at the gym or when you take your blouse off for a working party?

In this episode of Moments in Leadership, host David B. Armstrong invites LtGen Dave Furness back to the show to discuss various topics related to leadership. LtGen Furness covers the importance of leadership in making organizations successful and the difference in the interaction between the lieutenants and the captains. LtGen Furness emphasizes that leaders should be frequent in praising their subordinates and building goodwill, loyalty, and commitment. He believes that the best Marine organizations are those where the collective goes above and beyond what's required and that this is achieved by leaders who care about their people and are passionate about making their journey better. To make this happen, he stresses the importance of mentorship and making time for it, regardless of rank. He emphasizes the obligation of senior leaders to impact as many people as possible and advises leaders to stand up for their beliefs and tell their bosses the necessary information, even if it's not what they want to hear. While every leader is responsible for setting this culture and foundation, the episode also covers the need for senior leadership to operationalize the various lines of effort in the USMC, such as Talent Management, Training, and Education. LtGen Furness suggests that leadership needs to be taught as a personal connection to another human being, and the first step to establishing this relationship is building rapport. He talks about the importance of building a relationship quickly to establish trust. Institutionally, LtGen Furness also discusses the impact of hazing and yelling in military training on the development of young Marines. LtGen Furness argues that theatrical yelling, screaming, and hazing contribute to a culture that teaches Marines that this is the way to lead. Instead, he suggests removing such behaviors and adopting a more professional approach that holds Marines accountable for their actions without resorting to hazing.  LtGen Furness has given a 90-minute class to every Basic School company for the last two and a half years. The class covers the role of leaders in making organizations elite and how to lead organizations. Afterward, he stays and answers questions until the lieutenants are tired of asking. He notes that the questions are very informed and cover topics such as strategic policy, force design, and leadership hypothetical questions about scenarios they might face when entering the operational forces. He says that the lieutenants ask better questions than he did at a similar stage in his career. Overall, the episode is an insightful discussion about leadership, the importance of mentorship, and the need for leaders to build relationships with their subordinates. Thank you for supporting the project (below) Please consider supporting this project on Supercast: Moments In Leadership Supercast  Want to support the project AND look cool at the gym or when you take your blouse off for a working party?

Col McClam is a career infantry officer and currently the Commanding Officer of The Basic School in Quantico, Virginia. Col McClam discusses the acronym "MOAS," which stands for Mentorship, Opportunity, Advocacy, and Sponsorship. This episode is filled with great "Moments in Leadership" that should be heard by every leader, both officer and enlisted, especially by TBS Lieutenants and Midshipmen and Officer Candidates.  Embedded in MOAS is the importance of performance and how it is the currency by which every leader is evaluated for future potential in the Marine Corps. He pulls no punches and makes it clear that performing is a contact sport. He discusses the importance of performance because while you cannot always control where you get assigned, you CAN ALWAYS control your performance.  He teaches performance is underpinned by two metrics: Relationships and Personal Brand. The key is understanding how to navigate the complex territory of performing consistently on a daily basis while maintaining relationships and demonstrating your personal brand. It is performance in all situations and environments…not just in your PMOS. He feels every officer should be taught this from OCS until retirement.  He tells the young officers at TBS not to believe or think they are being left out because of their differences. He knows it's not about changing WHO you are; it is about changing HOW you are in this complex ecosystem called the United States Marine Corps. He believes, accurately, I may add, that we all have to assimilate when we join organizations - it happens at Google, Apple, Amazon, and Waffle House, to name a few. He told me he has changed "how" he is within the Corps and how you may need to do the same.  Thank you for supporting the project (below) Please consider supporting this project on Supercast: https://mil.supercast.com Want to support the project AND look cool at the gym or when you take your blouse off for a working party?

1stSgt Shamus Flynn is currently the Inspector Instructor First Sergeant for Weapons Company 1st Bn 23rd Marines in Austin, Texas. Flynn is a prolific user of Social Media and has a considerable following on Instagram, where he shares not only his knowledge but the knowledge of others. What strikes me about him is that he is an early adopter of social media as a leadership tool, and he refuses to cede the space to others who wish to fill it with negativity and misinformation… something the enlisted side of the house, as a whole, is grasping much more quickly than the officers. 1stSgt Flynn understands that we have to meet the people we lead where they are, and right now, that's on social media.   This episode is filled with great "Moments in Leadership" with everything from preparing to go to combat to actual performance in battle. We discuss the influential leaders and the impact of losing senior leadership to combat operations. This episode is extremely valuable to all the leaders in the enabling MOS's because he shares what it takes to perform and what you can expect from combat operations as an enabler.        Thank you for supporting the project (below) Please consider supporting this project on Supercast: https://mil.supercast.com Want to support the project AND look cool at the gym or when you take your blouse off for a working party?

Ekow Nimako is a Toronto-based, internationally exhibiting LEGO artist who crafts futuristic and whimsical sculptures from the iconic medium. Rooted in his childhood hobby and intrinsic creativity, Nimako's formal arts education and background as a lifelong multidisciplinary artist inform his process and signature aesthetic. His fluid building style, coupled with the Afrofuturistic themes of his work, beautifully transcend the geometric medium to embody organic and fantastical silhouettes. His large scale public installations include the monumental Cavalier Noir (Nuit Blanche, 2018) which features a seven-foot Black rider atop a dauntless Black unicorn. Conceptualized in collaboration with Director X, the piece subverts the dominant imagination of public monuments and centres Black narratives. Nimako's installation To Feed the Village, the Young Must Grow debuted at Berlin's Urban Contemporary Art Biennale (Urban Nation Museum for Urban Contemporary Art, 2019) alongside other internationally renowned visual artists. The touring group show Brick by Brick features several works from his Building Black Mythos series and opened in 2019 (20-21 Visual Arts Centre, UK, 2019). Nimako's medieval Africa inspired series Building Black Civilizations opened in 2019 at the Aga Khan Museum. The architectural and imaginative pieces explore the untold narrative of sub-Saharan Africa during the middle ages, with detailed references to architecture, Islamic civilizations and Afrofuturism. The anticipated sequel to this exhibition, Building Black:Civilizations II, premieres at Dunlop gallery in Regina in the fall of 2022. Nimako's latest body of work Building Black AMORPHIA presents artworks that thread together elements of West African mask making traditions, fauna and organic forms to create an amorphous and fantastical tapestry. This wall-mounted series displayed at the Harbourfront Centre in Toronto from January to June 2020. Exhibition plans for AMORPHIA II opening in London are currently underway. Nimako's work has been featured in media outlets and publications such as NOW Magazine, CBC, CBC Radio, Global News, TorontoLife, VICE, Toronto Star, BlogTO, Hyperallergic and the Globe and Mail. He is a published author of Beasts from Bricks (Quarry Books, 2017) an instructional LEGO book featuring miniature sculptures of rare and beautiful animals with an elevated aesthetic. Key Takeaways    1. Talent and passion can sprout from a young age - Ekow always wanted to create for as long as he could remember, exploring creative avenues like drawing, music, and sculpture throughout his life. As a young child, he wasn't even aware of the term “artist” but those around him recognized his talents and informed him of what he was. 2. Think outside the box - Ekow wanted to dedicate his time to art that was specifically for Black people so he turned to sculpting with LEGO and became a LEGO artist. From a LEGO box, not many people would think of creating the type of LEGO sculptures Ekow creates. With his artistic vision, he and his team pour in 100 to 1000 hours making entrancing sculptures from black LEGO pieces. 3. Recognition comes gradually - 2014 is the year that Ekow cites as the year his career started to take off. He received a grant which allowed him to create without the constraint of cost. Throughout the years, Ekow has been growing his Instagram page and working hard. His work has gained recognition both in Canada and internationally. In addition, Ekow just recently secured a formal deal with the LEGO Group! 4. Advice for aspiring artists - Get accustomed to solitude, as being an artist is time consuming. The majority of your time is going to be spent alone with your art. Be realistic- think about whether you want to pursue art full-time or go after another route while keeping art as your main passion. Consider the fact that you might need to balance the time spent on art and the time spent on other activities to ensure you have enough to get by. Be aware about art production and your desired artistic journey. Know what art you want to create and the medium it uses. Certain mediums allow for faster art production which could bring more short-term success. On the other hand, carving out your niche could bring more long-term success. 5. Tradeoffs can pay off in the end - For many years, Ekow worked a job he didn't enjoy, listened to his boss and dealt with racism in the workplace to make enough money to survive. He spent time and energy on his job that could have been put into his art. However, the money he earned allowed him to continue pursuing his true calling on the side. This tradeoff was made until it was no longer necessary and Ekow finally had the freedom to live off his work, dedicating everything he had to his creations. The freedom that comes with Ekow's position as a renowned artist is what he is most grateful for today.

While the panel had a lot of different interesting conversations, one of the things that stuck out to me was a conversation halfway through where we talked about setting the conditions for efficiency and discovering the friction points that lead to those inefficiencies. One of the recent reviews left about the podcast stated that they were amazed at how much actual connection there was between what the company level officers thought should be happening and what the general officers also thought should be happening…  And I agree…leaving the question - what's happening between these two groups of leaders?  Like the project and getting value?

Listen in as we discuss SgtMaj Black's experiences as a young Marine, a new NCO, and in leadership roles as a First Sergeant and a Sergeant Major. Hear him tell the stories of young PFC Black as well as his first experience leading his fellow Lance Corporal peers as a brand new Corporal. Hear about and learn what he did well and what he'd do differently. He sheds light on the importance of the different oaths we take and how they shape our leadership responsibilities. He shares some perspective on taking care of the most junior Marine in order to make sure they have what they need, but how sometimes it's difficult for the Marines to see it happening fast enough. We wrap up discussing how difficult it becomes for leaders to communicate with the junior Marines the higher they get “in the proverbial food chain” but wants everyone know that, that if they feel out of touch with senior leadership, it's not because they desire for it to be that way. This is an incredibly insightful and empowering discussion where leaders from all branches and of all ranks can gain some valuable insight from the senior enlisted leader in the Marine Corps.  Please consider supporting this project at the new Patreon site.

Conceptualized by Canadian chef, Adam Ryan, Fire & Flora offers an immersive dining experience, underscored by elevated plant-based cuisine and Canadian-grown ingredients. This fine dining establishment is both a destination for discerning foodies and a celebrated local hot spot for residents of the Beltline neighbourhood. As interest in plant-based dining continues to grow, chef Ryan's innovative menu aims to reassure diners that this culinary trend is here to stay. Located in Calgary's newest entertainment hub, The District at Beltline, Fire & Flora focuses on Canadian grown ingredients first and foremost, starting with local Alberta farmers, artisans and producers. The restaurant combines chef Ryan's passion for sustainability with elegant, ingredient-driven dining. Dishes highlight certain fruits, vegetables or other ingredients as they are at their seasonal peak and chef Ryan's team will work closely with producers and farmers to create in-season menus that incorporate more whole ingredients and refrain from using meat substitutes or processed foods.

In October 1946, shortly before Independence, Mulk Raj Anand founded Marg, a magazine that soon became a pioneering forum for research on Indian and South Asian art and architecture. Over its 75 years, Marg (in its quarterly magazine as well as books) has promoted a deeper understanding of eras past while examining contemporary art practices. To mark our platinum anniversary, we are delving into Marg's archive of writing on temple art and architecture, to understand the shifts in perspective over the decades. The result is a lavishly illustrated magazine, which could also serve as a guide for educators teaching the Indian Temple over a semester. It presents a cross-section of themes and covers both key sites—Khajuraho, Thanjavur and Konarak—and those less written about—Kashmir, Bangladesh, Nepal, Sri Lanka, and Kerala. These are unique not only architecturally, but also from the point of view of patronage and the diverse public functions they served. Conceptualized and curated by our General Editor, Dr Naman P. Ahuja, the essays have been contextualised through a contemporary lens. Raj Balkaran is a scholar, online educator, and life coach. For information see rajbalkaran.com.

This is a great episode with one of the most experienced combat leaders serving in the USMC today but also a leader with an incredibly diversified career spanning not only recruiting but also tours on Capitol Hill watching the sausage get made.  Listen in as we discuss the most powerful moments of leadership, pride, fear, and influence in David's Marine Corps career. He sheds light on how to make the most out of poor leadership, how to lead Marines that are lacking discipline, his perspective AND reflection on his "Basic Daily Routine" letter to the 2nd Marine Division in 2019, and how we can potentially solve the Marine Corps' recruiting and retention problem.  LtGen Furness also speaks on what he learned from conducting legislative affairs for the Marine Corps on Capitol Hill as well as helping to implement Mike McNamara's Post-Traumatic Winning program, which aims to prevent suicide and improve the mental health of military officers. This is an incredibly insightful and empowering discussion that leaders from all branches and of all ages can gain something from. Episode Timeline/Key Highlights:[04:39] Introducing Lieutenant General David Furness [07:10] Reflecting on his experience and lessons he learned from being a Second Lieutenant[18:16] Advice for Lieutenants and Captains on navigating poor leadership[26:04] "AHA" moments of pride in David's career & The power of giving your colleagues recognition[35:33] Should we change the Marine Corps award system?[45:51] Scary moments in David's career & How to prepare for (and get through) the inevitable scary moments of military leadership[56:31] The moment David realized the gravity of his influence and responsibility as a leader[1:04:16] Why legislative affairs on Capitol Hill are vital to the Marine Corps' democracy[1:15:34] How can we solve the Marine Corps' recruiting and retention problem?[1:34:44] The decline in Marine discipline, firing Marines, & David's 2019 "Basic Daily Routine" policy letter[1:54:50] Preventing suicide with leadership strategies and Post-Traumatic Winning Relevant Resources & Other Mentioned Episodes:Former Action Guys Podcast: https://apple.co/3uQ8zmjFollow Ben Cantwell on Instagram: https://bit.ly/3OaGtsELearn more about Post-Traumatic Winning: https://bit.ly/3z89Vv4Listen to Ep 13 SgtMaj Don Reynolds: https://bit.ly/39PZXoqListen to Ep 15 LtGen Karsten Heckl: https://bit.ly/3ckkm5KPhoto of 2nd Marine Division Basic Daily Routine Letter: https://bit.ly/3uUhumH What is Moments in Leadership?Moments in Leadership is a podcast where you will hear firsthand about the careers of senior military leaders as they share their unique and individual experiences.

Mick Ebeling is an author, entrepreneur, philanthropist, executive producer, and founder of Not Impossible Labs, a company dedicated to changing the world through creating technology for the sake of humanity. Winner of the 2014 Muhammad Ali Humanitarian of the Year award, Mick has also been listed in the Time Magazine Top Invention of the Year category – two times. First, Mick and his team invented the EyeWriter, a low-cost device that enables paralyzed individuals to communicate and create art using only eye movements. Conceptualized in Mick's living room, they originally developed the device for a paralyzed graffiti artist that enabled him to draw for the first time in 7 years. Then Mick's team went on to develop a 3-D-printed arm for Daniel, a kid whose arm got amputated from the war in the Nuba Mountains of Sudan, enabling Daniel to feed himself for the first time in 2 years. Here are some power takeaways from today's conversation: How Mick conceived the EyeWriter Overcoming self-doubt The value of self-direction and the virtue of selfishness The story of Daniel The founding design principle of “help one, help many” Nothing is impossible Developing frictionless solutions to solve food insecurity Notable quotes from the Episode: "Technology for the sake of humanity – make technology that makes the world a better place that helps people." “At the beginning of every project, we always start by asking the question, who's the one? Nail this, and then we can open up the aperture and help more people.” “What happens when you just double down on trying to help someone?

Asia Klekowicz and Ryan York - The Gathering Place: An Elementary School With a Focus on Project-Based Learning, the Arts, and Helping Underserved Neighborhoods. This is episode 452 of Teaching Learning Leading K12, an audio podcast. The Gathering Place is the first and only restorative campus founded and based in San Antonio, Texas. Conceptualized by co-founders Asia Klekowicz and Ryan York, The Gathering Place's education model is rooted in social justice and project-based learning and was inspired by Klekowicz and York's beliefs that kids, especially in historically underserved neighborhoods, don't get a complete education. The pair spent 10 years teaching, leading, and seeing glimmers of what could be when teachers are trusted, kids are loved for who they are, and administrators don't measure students by test scores. The Gathering Place opened in 2020 and currently serves Kindergarten to Third Grade, with plans to add a new grade level annually through the Twelfth Grade.  Asia Klekowicz (M. Ed) joined the movement for educational equity after witnessing the injustice of the school-to-prison pipeline while tutoring inmates in Boston. She joined Teach for America-Memphis and led her students to achieve 2.5years of growth, ranking in the highest percentiles across the state. She transitioned to developing high school math teachers across Chicago where she was the only coach in her organization to be recognized for excellence by every teacher in her cohort. She later ventured into the financial sector where she worked as an investment consultant managing a $536 million book and became the fastest promoted employee in the region. Ryan York's (M. Ed) career started by co-founding a nonprofit that served hundreds of children each year through its flagship program “Southern Girls Rock and Roll Camp'' and opening a 6,000sq. ft. after-school arts facility outside of Nashville. Transitioning into the classroom, he was awarded the district All Star teacher award and developed a blended learning software management platform that led to the highest math growth in the district by enrolled teachers. As principal, Ryan led a school turnaround that ended with the highest staff retention, math scores, and 5th grade reading growth in one of the top performing school systems in Tennessee. Ryan and Asia began working together when they teamed up with RePublic Schools to create a middle and high school computer science curriculum and teacher training program. After six months, Ryan was promoted to CIO and won the National Sally Ride & Deloitte Award for Innovation. Thanks for listening. So much to learn! But wait... Could you do me a favor?

— Kundalini Yoga, known as “the Yoga of awareness,” is an ancient technology for awakening the life force lying dormant within each one of us. Conceptualized as a sleeping serpent, coiled up at the base of our spine, this latent source of primordial energy is mobilized through the actions and components of the kriyas that lie at the heart of Kundalini Yoga practice. A Kriya is a sequence of physical movements or postures that often include pranayam (breathwork), mantras (sacred syllables), mudras (hand positions), bandhas (body locks), as well as eye focus and angular positions to awaken, direct and contain the flow of this spiritual energy within. The benefits of Kundalini Yoga are felt on both the physical and the etheric planes, since as that dormant force arises, it strengthens our vitality and sense of well-being, while simultaneously expanding our consciousness and enhancing our capacity for joy and fulfillment through divine union—the ultimate goal of all Yogas. As such, it is both a therapeutic, as well as a highly potent spiritual system, culminating in our awakening and transformation. Our moods, attitudes and general outlook on life are related to the light that shines forth from within us. In Kundalini Yoga, we call it radiance.

Ulka Kelkar is the Director of the Climate Program at the World Resources Institute (WRI) India. In this episode of 'Understanding the Future of Low Carbon Pathways for India', with Ulka Kelkar, we explore the various technological, governmental, and behaviour challenges and potential solutions in developing low carbon pathways. In this episode, we start the conversation by understanding the carbon-intensive things India needs to control and some of the low carbon pathways. We further break down the conversation on the electricity sector to understand its challenges and how can we stabilise the fluctuating renewable energy sources. Additionally, she further helps us understand the challenge of the embodied energy in the building sector due to steel and cement as well as highlight the challenges of the transport and freight sector. Also, we discuss the future of hydrogen, its potential benefits and its complexity in implementing the ecosystem. Further, she helps understand the challenge of the government and potential solutions as the sale of fossil fuel consumption will reduce and cause a loss of government revenue due to tax collected on fossil fuels. We also discuss the consumption patterns and promoting circular economy on a day-to-day basis. At last, she helps us understand the topic of just transition with the changing job opportunities as well as the kind of skillsets that would be required in future to be able to develop macro-level policies.

Remember, we welcome comments, questions and suggested topics at thewonderpodcastQs@gmail.com   S2E32 TRANSCRIPT: ----more----Mark: Welcome back to the Wonder Science-based Paganism. My name's Mark.  Yucca: And I'm Yucca. Mark: And today we're talking about nature based paganism. What is nature-based paganism? What the point of nature-based paganism and how are, how can we, pursue a nature based practice as a part of, practicing our science-based pagan approach?  Yucca: That's right. And we'll get in a little bit to what is nature and why is that important as well? Mark: Right. Yeah. always the best first thing to do when you're talking about anything is to define the terms. So, we'll, we'll jump into that right away. when we first. Conceptualized this podcast, the idea was, you know, we are we're Earth oriented pagans. there are some folks who self identify as pagans who are not as focused on the Earth, who are focused on gods Or particular pantheons of bygone cultures that they're working to reconstruct or.  Yucca: magical practices or things like that. Mark: kinds of magical practices, certainly, or,  Yucca: The occult in general. Mark: yes, or work with, spirits that they. I believe they have influence over and can, you know, make arrangements with there's a lot of different ways of coming at this sort of broad umbrella of, practices that we call paganism. But we're very clear that we, like, I believe most pagans are really oriented towards the Earth, which means nature.  Yucca: Okay. Mark: The, the difference in our approach is that we are rooted in science and critical thinking. And therefore, rather than sort of a romantic kind of Bambi,  Yucca: Yeah. Mark: Disney-fied sort of orientation to nature. We're really about the real nature. That's, that's here and out there and in our own bodies and very excited about all the, the manifestations of life here on Earth.  So that's, that's where we start from that. we are products of, and participants in. This tremendous complex, interesting, amazing, beautiful fabric that occupies planet Earth's biosphere sphere that comprises planet earth biosphere, really. and of course, therefore is also supported by the substrate of the rest of the universe. Right? All the, all the amazing physics of the rest of the universe.  Yucca: Yeah, we're part of a solar system. That's part of keep going up and up and up, you know, go past Laniakea to Cosmic Web and on. But I think that you said something really, really important that is that we are part of nature. I think that's a really, really important place to start because in our language we often talk about humans and nature. And we talk about things being natural versus human-made. And we create this line in this distinction, in our minds, which doesn't always serve us. And certainly in today's world, where many of us are living in. An urban centric society. Even those of us who aren't in an urban environment who live in a rural environment, our culture in our society is still very urban based in which we have really tried to strengthen and define that line of human versus nature. Now we've built a concrete wall and reinforced it with steel to try and say this were two different things. And yet we really, really aren't. And when we can start recognizing that our lives are very enriched. Mark: Right, right. Yeah. There's a lot to be said about where that line came from and where the romantic ideas of nature stem from. I mean the whole, the romantic movement of the late 18th into the early 19th century. Has a tremendous influence over not only our understanding of our relationship with the natural world, but also particularly the, the, the eventual development of modern paganism. You know, the idea of wild, beautiful nature outside of the city, as you know, something to be exalted. And, in many cases, emulated, if you look at some of the big romantics like Byron, for example, he thought that being kind of a rude, irresponsible, abusive wild man was, a way of reflecting his net, his natural state. Right. The truth is that even the modern environmental movement has been, has been rooted in a lot of that romanticism. And it's only in the past 20 years in my experience. And I've been working in environmental stuff or longer, much longer than that. Has begun to climb out of this kind of romantic idea of, of nature with a capital N equating to this sort of romantic good. And instead understanding it as a set of complex living systems that are interpenetrated with one another and whose. behavior and manifestations may be very beautiful and very interesting. they can also be very terrible and destructive and, still very interesting.  Yucca: Yeah.  And really all of that at once nature, isn't all. What is it? Red in tooth and claw.  Mark: Right,  Yucca: And, but it's also not all rainbows and butterflies, right? It's a, there's a combination going on there. so we feel that, I mean, I guess that it would be a little bit more pugnacious to say it this way, but we could have called this podcast. Reality-based paganism.  Yeah. Mark: Because that is certainly our intent. Our intent is to root our spiritual understanding and practice in the empirical objective nature of reality of the world that we live in of our nature, the nature of ourselves as homosapiens organisms, as the, observable phenomena that take place around us, that we are a part of the fabric of. And so even though it's really easy to get sucked into the romance of planet earth, because boy, you look at that, that blue marble photograph hanging out there in space. And it's pretty easy to want to cry. You know, it's just so beautiful, but it's important for us to, to, to go beyond that. You know, we can hold that in our hearts, but to go beyond that and really do what we can to encounter nature, to, to understand it as best we can and to find not only the big wonder in, you know, That pale blue dot hanging in a Sunbeam from as viewed from Saturn, but in the, the tiny miracles, the, the, the never ending list of tiny miracles that comprise nature and earth, nature and life here. honor.  Yucca: Okay. Mark: So that's what this episode is about. This episode is about, Kind of getting a handle on what do we need? I mean, when we say that we're a nature based religion and then how can we best make that more real, make that more true for ourselves and for the way that we live our lives, because I can say for myself, it's enormously satisfying to do so. it brings, just a deep abiding sense of, of joy. to feel so connected to what we are and where we come from and what makes us.  Yucca: Yeah. And in addition to that joy, also some very practical health. Differences when we are connecting in with the, with what our bodies are built for, so that fresh air and that sunlight and all of that stuff that now is getting, we were talking about before we started recording is actually getting prescribed to people, right? You go for your forest bay, they ignore your time on the beach or whatever it is. Mark: right, right. Which to, some people sounds really silly. There's a reason why people go to the beach. There's a reason why people go for wa for hikes in the woods. I mean, when you think about it in, in the true abstract, why would any organism do that? Burn calories for no reason, other than to be in a particular place and then burn more calories packing up and going home. And the answer is. that it does real stuff for us, real beneficial stuff that we can feel in our bodies. And that's why we go hiking. It's why we go to the beach. It's why we go to beautiful places in nature on vacation, because that natural beauty. Means something, it has an impact on us, organically, not just, not just on our minds, but on our actual physical beings, which remember, as we've said over and over again are the same thing.  Yucca: Yeah. Okay. Mark: So another thing that I can say about this is that. Getting connected in with nature also kind of helps us with our, our value priority. when we understand ourselves as part of a greater whole and as part of concentric circles of greater wholes, meaning not just families, but societies, not just societies, but entire ecosystems, not just entire ecosystems, but systems stretching out beyond the plant. All the way to those, you know, very, very large structures, beyond the galaxy, beyond the supercluster, part of what that can do for us is it can help us to get our priorities straight around what we think is important and what's worth fighting for. one thing that the atheopagan path that I follow is very explicit about is that we consider activism to be. An integral part of what we do because we have responsibility to one another. And so whether it's as little as simply voting when the time comes to do that, or whether it's a lot more in terms of contacting representatives that are going to make decisions, talking with other people about how we feel about things working to make the world a better, kinder, more sustainable, more, More happy place, becomes something that is not arbitrary, but he's a natural outgrowth of our understanding of where we are And who we are. as humans. Yucca: And that can come from or be supported by the relationship with our environments.  Mark: Yes.  Yucca: So, and. On the one hand, you know, learning on a very intellectual level about how these things work and what we're finding out. And the latest research that is that's powerful on the one hand, but just having the actual relationship, the experience with, with our environments with nature. So to say, can. Really strengthened that. Mark: Yes, because you look with some with, with markedly different eyes, when you have that, that understanding, and you look at a tree, for example, and I hate even to say a tree because it's so generic, I'd rather, you know, stipulate some particular kind of tree, like a maple tree. Right? Well, here's an organism. Rooted in the ground, where, from which it's drawing water and nutrients, and it's doing kind of a dance with a whole bunch of microorganisms in order to get its needs met and to meet the needs of those microorganisms as well. And then it, it deploys solar panels all over itself. And charges itself up every day. Turn in many cases, turns those panels in order to follow the sun, as it moves across the sky. I mean, this is a remarkable thing. This is something that humans have figured out how to do in a, in a limited capacity only in the past 20 years.  Yucca: And in working with its neighbors can actually literally change the weather  Mark: Yes.  Yucca: it.  Mark: Yes.  Yucca: So releasing VOC that ended up becoming cloud condensing, nuclei, and increasing the rain and changing the temperature on the ground, which then changes the way that the local wind patterns are working. Like all kinds of just incredible interactions. Mark: Right. Right. And the more we understand about that, the more remarkable it becomes. And so it's not just the, the romantic appreciation of the fact that it also happens to be breathing out pure oxygen, which is something that we find useful.  Yucca: Yes. Mark: And, and also, processing carbon dioxide, which is something that we find less useful. but that it's, it's going through all of these extraordinary processes at every level of its existence, underground above ground, and then kind of in the canopy, above the surface of the ground, and its relationship with the atmosphere. And that's just a tree. This is one tree.  Yucca: Yeah. Now let's start talking about the lichen growing on that tree. And the mycelium connecting it to another one and on and on and  Mark: communities of animals that depend on. its seeds, for nourishment and its branches for various kinds of shelter and nesting opportunities. And, Yeah. the. There's a reason why there are certain kinds of species in different biomes that we refer to as Keystone species, because they are so essential to the living creatures that live in those areas where I am. It is the California live Oak. because if you removed all the California live Oaks from this place, we would have an ecological crash. Unlike any that we've seen so far in this local region, because of the dependency of so many organisms on that particular species of tree.  Yucca: Yeah.  Mark: So all of this is very cool and, we should not undersell the, The overlap between the spiritual impulse and the very cool factor, you know, part, part of the reason why we feel moved spiritually by things is because they're amazing. They're just, they're so extraordinary, that they, they give us a big emotional. Jolt just by realizing them. And that's true of every religion. I mean, if you believe that Jesus died to what, whatever to, you know, mitigate our failings, then that's kind of amazing. I mean, if you believe that you have these inherent sin and that you've been accumulating more of them ever since you arrived on the planet. but that this death 2000 years ago, wipes it all out. As long as you say the right words and believe them in your heart. That's amazing. I mean, I don't believe it at all, but if it were true, it would really be amazing.  Yucca: Well, and it still has the same emotional impact if you believe at whether it's true or not in terms of the emotional impact, right? Mark: Yes, exactly. So, but the reason why I said we could have called this podcast, reality-based big aneurysm is that nature is real  Yucca: Yeah. Mark: nature exists. We are nature. There isn't anything that isn't nature and,  Yucca: So even when we put in the roads, even when we build our foundations and our buildings and all of that, that's not locking the nature out. nature is still, I mean, it, it is what it is, we're changing it, but that's also what we do as animals that are part of this.  Mark: Yes,  Yucca: And we're not the first ones,  Mark: no.  Yucca: architecture, farming, warfare, all these things that we like to think of as being only human, we might do it in a very unique human way, but these things have been around for millions of years. Mark: Yes. mostly by ants. Yucca: Yes. And so I've been doing all of those things, some other kinds of creatures too, but answer, just answer amazing.  Mark: They are really, They're really amazing. And so one of the. Approaches one of the orientations that can be really useful as we pursue nature-based paganism is to understand ourselves as part of nature. And so if you do live in a big city, look around, look at all the structures that have been constructed by this particular kind of organism and these amazing machines and, and communication devices and all this stuff. It it'll give you a renewed appreciation for just how amazing humans are in the romantic view. It's often nature versus humans, right? And you have to pick a side. You either you're either with nature and therefore kind of anti-human or you're with the humans and nature is always trying to kill you. And so you want to control it and tame it and. reduce its its power, which good luck with that. but a, in a more factually correct approach, Yucca: Integrated. Mark: an Integrated. it's an integrated approach and all of it is nature. And so understanding ourselves as natural creatures can help to fill us with wonder at the Marvel of what we are. Because humans are extraordinary organisms,  Yucca: Yeah. Mark: extraordinary organisms. They're they're unlike anything that we are familiar with anywhere in the universe, in terms of what we do, what we're capable of, we are just these really, really remarkable critters.  Yucca: Yeah. And there's some pretty incredible creditors and other life forms that we partner with on, without even realizing it. Talking about the urban environment. I don't recall the professor's name at the moment, but put forth the idea where basically he was looking at the urban environment and this species that tend to come along with us in an urban environment. So thinking about your, rats and pigeons and Dan D lions and things like that, and noticing that these are almost all species that come from. Caves or the entrances to caves  Mark: Yeah.  Yucca: and noticing that there's a, there's a lot of parallels there between our architecture and who comes along with us and what systems we end up building that, that create environments for these other creatures that we actually live symbiotically. Right.  Mark: Hm.  Yucca: And the symbiosis doesn't just have to be mutualistic symbiosis, right? We've got parasitic and commensal relationships if commensal actually even exists. the idea that one organism isn't effected by the other organism as a, as a hard sell.  Mark: Yes.  but that, that our urban environments are these really special. Yucca: Environments and some of the functions might be a little bit broken compared to other systems where you might the resource cycling. When I say broken, that's what I'm talking about. Not that any moral judgment on it, but on its functional. what is it actually doing? Some of those systems might be a little bit broken, but they're still, there's still a beauty and wonder in that and we're still. Part of it. All of our biological functions are still going on whether or not we acknowledge them. Mark: Sure. Sure. I mean, the disadvantage that humans have is that because we do things so quickly. We don't have the advantage of thousands or millions of years of slow evolution in order to balance the efficiencies of the system. Right? So we have huge mounds of waste that we. Have any real way of processing, right? We have, pollutants of various kinds that, can cause various impacts that we find, disadvantageous not only to ourselves, but also to the natural world. And we don't, we haven't figured out how to solve them.  Yucca: we as individuals live for such a short period of time. From an ecosystem's perspective that we don't clock that, that something's not right.  Mark: Right.  Yucca: Right. Many of us are living in incredibly degrading ecosystems that are very, very sick, that are missing huge pieces that they evolved with. But to us it's just normal because we don't remember. Right. We don't remember the megafauna or we don't remember whatever it is.  Mark: You know, I,  Yucca: don't yeah. Mark: you know, I can say though that in my own lifetime, I have seen the crash of the insects and I've seen a dramatic decline in the number of birds. Just just from the time when I was a child to now observationally, I can see it. when I was a kid, when you traveled your windshield got covered with insects and you had to clean it off every couple of hundred miles, and that's just not the case anymore. the sheer density of organisms of that sort is, has crashed.  Yucca: Yeah. And we're worth different ages, but even within my lifetime, I've recognized that in my area. Mark: Yeah, so. You know, one of, one of the problems that humanity has is that, in many ways we're not very grown up, but, I have a friend who's,a land conservation professional. Who's worked in various kinds of environmental protection for a long time. And she refers to, to humanity as a toddler with a gun. not really understanding the capacity of the damage that we can do, and just sort of staggering around and shooting,  Yucca: Yeah. Mark: but all that uplifting stuff said, are still pretty incredible and we are also many of us. Inclined to try to repair the damage and to reach new balance with the, the, the balance of the natural world that we are a part of. And that is very much to our credit because. It's entirely possible that we could be intelligent creatures that just didn't care and would just drive our way into extinction. And maybe we are that may, maybe, maybe that is going to happen, but I don't believe it. Yucca: I don't either. Mark: I think humans are far too adaptable And nature is tough. Yucca: And I, I understand the impulse to throw up one's hands and say, oh, humans were just to cancer where it's just terrible. And I'm going to, I'm just going to bury my head in my phone and look at my tick talk or whatever, and just ignore it and just hate on humans. But that, to me, that's not. Rewarding. Like, it might be easier in some ways, but,  Mark: Okay.  Yucca: but it's missing out on a lot. It is missing out on a lot on the one hand, particularly because misanthropy means that you're, you're throwing out all of the amazing stuff that humans do, that, you know, the art and the dance and the music and the architecture and the technology, and just all, all of The extraordinary, extraordinary things that we do that are really worthy of appreciation. The friendship with, with your dog? Mark: yeah, well, there's a 50,000 year relationship.  Yucca: Yeah, Mark: that's that one's been going on for a long time. people, well, wonder why there are so many different kinds of dogs? Well, it's because we've been breeding them for various particular purposes for a super long time and continue to do so for various appearance traits. yeah, Yucca: yeah. Corgi just means short dog. They are, Welsh and there's a lot of sheep and whales and they're hurting dogs and they got short so that they wouldn't get kicked in the head. Cause you know, you don't get to breed quite as much and have pups when keep getting kicked in the head. But if you're just underneath the height being kicked by sh by, some sheep, then you survive longer. Mark: That's funny,  Yucca: why we have, and now of course, people like the look, so they make them even shorter and longer and all of that. But originally short dogs were just because they were short, they didn't get kicked. Mark: Sure, sure. Yeah. and You know, you look at Huskies and Newfoundlands and stuff like that, or. Dragging dogs and you know, the various kinds of border terriers and border collies that are used for various sorts of. You know, hurting, and then you've got all the terriers and other sort of rat catchers and kind of pest control dogs. you know, none of that happened by accident. All of that happened because there were particular needs that humans had and dogs were able to fulfill that role in humans, worked to make the dogs as adapted to those particular needs as possible. I mean, you think about a doctor. DocSend means Badger hound and they were designed to dig into holes in the ground. Mark: So they're long and skinny and go in and get badgers. Yucca: You know, as we're talking about this, I wonder we were talking about it from this very human perspective of, you know, how did the dogs change to fit us? I wonder if anyone has ever looked into, how did we change to fit our canine companion? Mark: Well, there are certainly several, human traits that. Strongly lean towards attraction to animals that have, you know, big brown eyes and they're sort of, you know, positioned mostly on the front of their heads so that it looks more like a human face. you know, we, we have, we have this whole off factor that we, that we have when it comes to babies, puppies, kittens, baby seals, raccoons, there's all kinds of. All kinds of that. And I'm sure that some of that was strengthened as we built relationships with dogs over time.  Yucca: yeah. Which that, that attraction to the, I can tell you as a parent that exists so that we keep taking care of the, of our offspring, because. Sometimes they're really real tough to take  Mark: Oh yeah.  Yucca: right there. I mean, you're just like, oh my goodness, you will not stop screaming at me. Why am I risking my life? Because you're just so cute. I can't help it.  Mark: Right. Yeah. And there's this  Yucca: our ancestors who didn't have that, well, their offspring didn't make it.  Mark: right, right.  Yucca: That's gotta be way prehuman. Mark: Sure. And there's this cascade of, of hormones and neurotransmitters that reinforces that whole. Sense, which is why other people's kids can be infuriating, but your kids are the most wonderful thing in the world. Yeah. Well, you know, this is, this is the way of things and this of course gets us into trouble when you have mixed families, because you have, you know, the so-called evil stepmother phenomenon, right. Because. The one that is not an actual blood parent of this child, doesn't have that cascade of hormones and neurotransmitters, and doesn't feel the same way about the child that, that others do, some do some don't. And So that, you know, can create, a sense of abandoned mentor or a hard relationship. Yucca: So it's going to say that we went a little far afield from our topic, but we actually didn't. This is all talking nature. Yeah. Mark: it's, it's all it. Well that, that's the thing about talking about nature is that there's nothing you can talk about that isn't dead,  Yucca: Yeah, except for the fictitious or purely theoretical.  that's, what's one of the things just vocabulary. That's always bothered me about the supernatural. What, how could supernatural possibly exist if nature is everything that is  Mark: Right,  Yucca: right. That just means we don't understand. Or, you know, beyond the laws of physics. Okay. Well that just means that our laws are wrong. Mark: Yeah, or incomplete.  Yucca: Yeah. and this is actually an argument that's made by fists and, and so-called supernaturalist pagans within the pagan community is, oh, no, no, it's not supernatural. It's just stuff we don't understand yet. I always come back to Ockham's razor, which is that the simplest explanation is, the most likely one to be true. Mark: And so if you heard a God say something to you, the odds are much better than that generated inside your brain, then that an actual disembodied intelligence with magical powers said it to you. but that's an argument for another day. Yucca: that is, yes. Why don't we circle back and talk about some things that people can do too, to build or strengthen that relationship with Nick. Mark: Okay, that sounds great. I mean, we did an episode back in may called pay attention. And I think that that's really kind of the core principle of all of this. And in order to pay attention, you need to not only paying attention is it's actually a very well-crafted term because there's an expenditure of effort and the bandwidth of your consciousness. That's required in order to successfully pay attention. If you're just cruising along, looking at your phone or listening to the radio and driving, and you're not carving out, at least part of your sensorium to be paying attention to what's happening in nature around you, then. Yucca: Yeah. Mark: I mean, you're always going to miss some of it anyway, because a lot of it's microscopic a lot of it's happening at timescales that you can't really perceive, but Yucca: you're saying one thing, you might not be able to be seeing the other thing. Yeah. Mark: yes. So there are always choices, but the easiest way to be better at paying attention to nature is to make time for it. Don't try to split your time between doing, saying, well, I have a beautiful drive on my commute home, so that's my nature time. Well, that's great. And if you're really appreciating the aesthetics of nature as you drive home, that's a, that's a good thing. That's food for the soul, but that isn't the same thing as actually just sitting for five or 10 minutes and. Watching the sun go down or  Yucca: Yeah. Mark: observing one of those trees or an anthill or, raccoons nesting under your house, which happened to me once or, or whatever it happens to be pigeons, pigeons, wandering around on the sidewalk, interacting with one another and, you know, looking for, for food. There's a lot to be seen and you'll be surprised at how there's a, there's, there's a sense of joy that can come from that kind of observation, just, just from taking the time and paying attention for a little while.  Yucca: Yeah. And, and really making it about that. Taking out the headphones, leaving your phone either in your pocket or better yet in the house. You know, if you're not needing to be on call for an emergency or something like that. And, and really, really setting that time aside to, to be present. So not as, not as a moment. That's important too, right? Taking that time to close your eyes and go in yourself and really self-reflect. But, but to open your eyes and look around and maybe let that transition between what you're experiencing is self and outside. Let that start to blend in your mind a little bit in your awareness as you take it. What what's around you and reserve the judgment. If you're seeing the, the ants moving around on the driveway or whatever, it is, just, just hang out with that. and, and you were touching on this as well marked, but, but making it, That dedicated time, maybe even literally scheduling it in, makes it more part of the routine. So part of the routine to tune in, to opening our eyes, to pay attention, and this could take different forms we've shared on here before some of our own practices. I do a star time, and. So at least twice a day, going out and being present. and of course, sunset and sunrise, the time is always changing every day, but that's also really amazing if he can build that into your schedule and then you're, and then you're noticing those changes. If, when, you know, where's the sunsetting and rising from and the, how is the moon different each day? And, oh, look, you're seeing it. It's the middle of the day, because remember the moon's out in the daytime half of the time. It's not just at the night. Can you, when, can you see that? Or when did the birds start talking in the morning before the sun comes up for most of them, but not all of  Mark: it is.  Yucca: Right? Listen, who's talking. Before Dawn and who's talking after it. Mark: If you have. Like a bird feeder sitting and watching the bird feeder And watching the interactions of the birds at the bird feeder, is amazing. It's really cool. And, if you're interested, you can get, a guide and learn what the different species of birds are that are coming to your, to your bird feeder. but that isn't, that isn't obligate Tori. you can just appreciate them as birds. Without knowing the particular details of how they operate, which is a broad range of different sorts of behaviors. that, that bird species have, I mean, think about it. The difference between a hummingbird and an emo,  Yucca: yeah. Yeah. Completely. This wildly different. Mark: right? I like emos they're dinosaurs.  Yucca: Yeah. They're all dinosaurs.  Mark: Yeah.  we were looking at pictures of. Hummingbird nests and hummingbird hatchlings. So if you're looking for a little like emotional, pick me up at some time at some point, just look up how adorable this little, absolutely tiny little naked hummingbird chicks are.  Mark: Yeah.  Yucca: little ITI creatures. huh.  Yucca: Anyways, but yeah, and the different species have their different behaviors, but different individuals do too. And even though a lot of them look very similar, if you're coming back to the same spot with the same population of birds, with enough observation, you can start to. You can start to recognize individuals based on their behavior. How are they interacting with each other? Is there that one that is always just a little extra aggressive, you know, it was always pushing them off and the birds do that anyways, but you know, or is there the one that trusts you a little more, that doesn't care that you're nearby or all of those things. Mark: Yeah. Yeah. And, in some really interesting cases, you can, You can develop relationships with some of them. my friend Lexi, has crows. They kind of follow her around and they bring her tiny things. that's pretty cool. I mean, you've, you've, I need them for a while and they decide, well, all right. You're one of us. And a part of what we do amongst ourselves is we bring shiny things. So here have a piece of glass.  Yucca: Corvids are amazing.  Mark: They are.  Yucca: There, can be stinkers too.  Mark: Oh  Yucca: good memory. And if you piss them off they'll they'll remember.  Mark: Yes, they will.  Yucca: Yeah. Mark: So, I guess, to sort of wrap this episode up, the thing that we're encouraging is first of all, that you build a relationship with nature nature, as it actually is nature, as it encompasses the entirety of what we experience, because we are part of it. And our works are a part of it, as well as, all the extraordinary. Examples of what is not human that move through our lives all the time, even in the city. Yucca: Mm. and in order to do that, you have to make. You have to decide that as a part of your practice, you're going to carve out that five minutes a day or 10 minutes a day or whatever it is. And it is immensely rewarding to do so. Mark: Sometimes at first it seems like, well, nothing happened and I'm not sure why I'm going to keep going with this. some of that is because you haven't really learned to see. And some of it is because, you know, you may just not have had luck that day. There may not have been a lot going on. So if you keep a journal  Yucca: Okay. Mark: of what you've observed,what's the word for that? A phonology journal, I think, Yucca: Okay. Just to see what you've observed. Just jot down what you've observed. Okay. Mark: Three candidate geese flew across the sky. there's a trail of ants across the sidewalk. the grass is turning brown. even, even just those simple, simple kinds of things. You'll find that if you continue with this practice, the list will get lost. You'll be noticing a lot more things and over time you'll notice. Well, Okay. The grass, the grass got really, really brown, but then after the first rain, all this new grass started coming in  Yucca: Hmm. Mark: and you hear a part of that process. All of a sudden, you, you are an observer of, of this change. That's happening, the changing of the guard among the ground. Individuals, the individual, the individual organisms may have died, but they germinated in their new seeds. And now that there's some water to feed them, uh they're they're now replacing the ones that died. and that's a profound thing. When you think about it, the, the generational change of a whole set of organisms.  Yucca: And also how our small little actions that we might not think anything. Might influence that and be a part of that. Right. Did you leave a chair out and did the grass not die under that chair where it was a little bit shaded as to sun was the summer sun was beating down on it or all of these different things that, that are little, little actions to us that just help highlight our connection to the whole community. Mark: Right, right, exactly. Because feeling connected with everything is the root of the spiritual impulse, you know, having an understanding of what our place is in the universe, what we're doing here, what we're a part of. All of that is really all inspiring and it can come through little moments, not, it's not just, you know, the sort of earth shattering coming around the corner and seeing the grand canyon for the first time kind of experience. It's also the little things, the little changes over time. And being aware that we are a part of all of this, and we were evolving eater internally, as well as, you know, in the same way that everything external to us is going through its process and changing and dying and growing and reproducing and doing all that stuff.  Yucca: So we hope you have the opportunity to set that time aside. Mark: Yes, I think you'll find it really rewarding if you, if you give it a shot. and I know how it is. We're all very busy, but five minutes is five minutes, you know, it's, if we choose not to take five minutes, it's because we choose not to take five minutes. It's not that we don't actually.  Yucca: And if you're too busy for the five minutes, you probably really need those five minutes. Maybe take 10. Mark: Exactly. Exactly. If you don't have time for five minutes, take 10.  Yucca: Yeah. Mark: Cause you really, you get, you know, get off your feet and,  Yucca: Yeah. Mark: look around.  Yucca: Once again. Thank you, mark.  Mark: Thank you. Yucca wonderful conversation with you. Thank you so much. We'll see you next week on the wonder science-based paganism.

Remember, we welcome comments, questions and suggested topics at thewonderpodcastQs@gmail.com   S2E28 TRANSCRIPT: ----more---- Mark: Welcome back to the Wonder Science-based Paganism. My name's Mark.  Yucca: and I'm Yucca. Mark: And today we're going to talk about the August Sabbath, the midpoint between the summer solstice and the autumnal Equinox, which is celebrated by many pagans as one of the eight stations on the wheel of the year.  Yucca: It's also one of those tricky ones in terms of what is it called?  Mark: Right. That's the first thing we need to talk about. What do you call this thing? How do you pronounce that? And so forth and so on from there.  Yucca: Yeah. Well, I often use Lamas because it's the one I can spell of the ones that other people might know what, what I'm talking about. I also think of it as the Second Summer and It's just that, that beautiful, wonderful holiday, which we'll get into the meaning for it later. But I almost don't even think of it having a name. I just associate it with what's happening during the season for us. So it's our monsoon holiday. Mark: Right, right. Yeah. Llamas comes from the middle English meaning loaf mass.  So in Europe it's very associated with bread and the green harvest, which happened right about now in the course of the year in the countries that had that kind of agricultural cycle. And so it's also associated with all of the products of green, like beer and bread and you know, all the associated things that you can make with grain. Another word that is commonly used in the pagan community is Luna SSA, which is spelled with a variety of extra consonants.  Yucca: Pronounced Luna, Luna, Luna said neither of which. Correct pronunciations for Irish. Mark: Right. And I choose not to use that name because when I was naming the Sabbaths around the course of the wheel of the year and just generally conceptualizing atheopagan ism generally I didn't want to be drawing from any particular culture. I want it to be very clear that this was a modern interpretation of paganism that didn't stem from Celtic culture or Norse culture or Germanic culture or Greek culture or Egypt culture. You know, for, for a number of reasons, one of which is that I feel strongly. My spirituality being a forward-looking spirituality about living in the world today and our vision for the future. And also because I wanted to avoid a cultural appropriation. So  Yucca: name also is in reference to a God. Is it not? Mark: yes, yes, Lugh, who is a God that I don't know anything about.  Yucca: Yeah. Mark: So what I have been calling this, I, I, for a while, and in the book I call it Summer's End, but. Really, it just isn't the end of summer here. If that doesn't work very well. So I've moved from that to Summer's Waning. And also just to the term Dimming, because this is the time of year when it begins to become clear that the days are getting shorter again. It's been long enough since the summer solstice that you can really tell. You're not getting those very little. Nights anymore. It's the days are still long. They're just not as long.  Yucca: yeah, that's getting noticeable. Hmm. I love the waning that connects it back to some of the. The lunar term terminology that we use as well, even though it's a solar holiday, it's, it's connecting those two just with the language.  Mark: Right, right.  Yucca: Although in my, my climate, the sun is, the days are getting shorter, but the summer itself, definitely not coming to an end, but this is the height of summer for us. You know, summer solstice is.  Mark: Yeah.  Yucca: Still it's summer, but it's still spring ish. It's really the end of spring, but this is truly summer for us at this point.  Mark: What'd you say it was high summer where you are.  Yucca: really sure. How to, what that word would really mean to be high summer.  Mark: okay. Okay.  Yucca: Because I would associate high summer with being like the very middle of summer. And I suppose it is, but the way seasons transition is not nice and smooth the way that it looks in the picture books. Right. It's just us often. It's okay. Boom. Sees it as changed. Whether it's changed, it's all different or it just kind of like. Slogs along, just like, okay. Not making up its mind, which season it is.  Mark: right.  Yucca: Yeah. Mark: Where I am in California. We have the buffering effect of the ocean and that tends to sort of smooth things out. I've I've lived in places and been places where. The changing of the season is like the slamming of a door.  Yucca: Yeah. Mark: you have these relatively warm, but kind of wan days in October and then bang and it snows and it's winter time and it stays wintertime for months.  Yucca: Yeah. Mark: So it really just depends on where you are. And as we've so often said, paganism is. At its heart. At least we think a spirituality of place. It's a bit being aware of where we are in the course of the year and where we are on the planet and in the cosmos and paying attention to that and incorporating that into what we celebrate spiritually. So What we're describing in terms of what we practice and what we choose to do and so forth you know, can all be thrown out the window if that's not what is going on, where you live. You know, the, the, the paganism of where you live should be the spirituality of that place.  Yucca: I suspect someone listening from Samoa is going to be in a completely different situation than either of us.  Mark: Yes.  Yucca: So, yeah. Well, before we go too much, further, and mark, there was a poem that you wanted to share.  Mark: Oh, yes. Yes. I, I completely forgot that. And now I'm remembering, Yucca: Hmm. Mark: so I have a cycle of eight poems about the wheel of the year. And this is the one for this season which is called Gifts of a Problem Sabbath which is for Dimming or Summer's Waning: Hidden, you spring upon us from the calendar: ah! The Marblemouthed Holiday is upon us again! What shall we call it? Lammas, or Lughnasadh how on Earth Do you pronounce that, but worse, what does it mean?   Behold the midpoint, the blazing furnace of August. Ritual? Indoors, perhaps, but not under that Sun.   Rather, let us go to the places of water to bask, To where berries hang heavy among the thorns, Knowing it all starts now the cascade of food pouring From the good Earth. Break A stalk of barley, saying this is my heritage this Is emmer wheat is einkorn is the tough grass of the Fertile Crescent Bred to bake my loaves. And bake one then, a crusty yeasty rosemary Dome for tearing with the hands. Eat warm with butter or oil, Feel the Life milling in your teeth, and swallow: This good life sprung abundant from the collision of Earth's magic, Time and art and science. We are a making people. Our hoes and lore Midwife the coming of apples and squash, peppers, tomatoes. The Great Gathering begins now.   Yucca: It's beautiful. Thank you for sharing that.  Mark: Thank you.  Yucca: Yeah. Mark: Yeah this is traditionally the time of the first harvest and where I am. We've been having stone fruit and and garden vegetables and so forth, kind of pouring out for a period of months now. But. In many places where it's colder and further to the north and the angle of the sun is not quite as strong on the, on the leaves right about now is when you start being able to get some food other than like butchered lambs and eggs and things like that. And so it's kind of an exciting time, but it's also a time that's really associated with work. I talked about the summer solstice as Conceptualized as I see it as kind of a holiday of leisure because all the, all the plants are in the ground and all the work to foster them has happened. And other than keeping critters for meeting it, you just basically have to wait until it's ready to harvest. Well, now it's time. And so I associate. This holiday also with work and vocation, and also with technology with tools because You know, there there's a, a real charming quality to the aesthetic that's associated with modern paganism, the sort of medieval Europe, Renaissance, medieval Europe kind of aesthetic. But if you route all of your. You're framing in that you miss out on the many benefits of modernity and technology is amazing. It's done incredible things for us. It has, it has caused our quality of life nearly universally throughout the world to rise at least to some degree.  Yucca: Not equally,  Mark: no, not at all. Not at all, but, but still it has enabled us to create a great deal, more food than we were able to otherwise, and to communicate over vast distances and to explore space and to process information in, in such rapid, incredible ways and to develop medical technology, to expand our lifespans and  Yucca: Go to the bottom of the ocean and all kinds of things. Yeah.  Mark: Right. All kinds of  Yucca: Do this. We, we pointed out a lot, but just how amazing this is. So as we record, we're looking at each other's faces from, we should actually figure out how many miles apart we are, but  Mark: we should.  Yucca: far yeah.  Mark: yeah. pretty far.  Yucca: Recording this and then putting it on the internet and then you, the listener are downloading it and you might be listening to it in your car or your pocket or wherever it is that you are just so boggling. Right? Mark: My, my partner in the was saying this morning, the 21st century is amazing. We're old enough to remember when the 21st century was really going to be the future. And that was, you  Yucca: cars  Mark: in 2001, a space Odyssey and all that kind of stuff. So It didn't quite work out that way, but there's still a lot. That's really remarkable about where we have arrived as humanity. And so I think about technology at this time and technological advance and, you know, I do stuff like defragment my heart drive and, you know, make sure that everything is backed up to the cloud and just some sort of maintenance things that this gives me a point in the calendar to focus.  Yucca: Yeah. just good to have those scheduled in there or else they just don't happen until your hard drive crashes. And then you're panicking. Mark: And then, then you're crying and you're sending your hard drive off to Texas to have the data pulled off it and buy some very expensive service, which I had to do once. And it was no fun.  Yucca: Hmm. Yeah. Well, I, I love that. Take that you have bringing the, bringing a recognition and celebration. Yeah. To our practices on things that aren't thought of as traditionally pagan and yet are so important to our lives. And when our paganism is about our lives and our experience with the world, it's really important to include all of it. Not just the pretty romantic stuff, but you know, the whole picture, that whole cycle. Mark: Exactly. Exactly. So, and we can do that while not glossing over the many negative impacts that the advance of technology have caused. You know, we can certainly, I mean, it's not exactly the time of year for grieving, but we can certainly, you know, mark. Those impacts in our recognition, but that doesn't mean that we should ignore those accomplishments. You know, very much like this was the traditional time of the Olympic games in ancient Greece. And so many people associate athletic contests and sort of feats of athleticism with this holiday as well. And there's, there's sort of a mod modern equivalent to that because it's, this is the time when people go to the beach and play volleyball, and there's a lot of sort of outdoor recreation happening,  Yucca: Yeah. Mark: but I feel like the sorts of. Achievements that we can most celebrate in this time are much more cerebral achievements than they are athletic achievements. I mean, athletes do amazing things and that's wonderful and records continue to be broken over and over for how fast people can be and how strong people can be and all that kind of stuff. But the transformative nature of some of these technologies, can't be under spoken. There, they simply have been game changers for humanity. And it's, it's important for us to, you know, raise a glass door, scientists and engineers who have who have brought these things to us.  Yucca: Yeah, definitely. Mark: So how are you planning on celebrating this, this season, your monsoon season?  Yucca: Well, first of all, this is the first real monsoon we've had in probably near a decade. I haven't.  Mark: Well,  Yucca: Yeah, so we're still, so I'm in the Southwest. I'm in Northern New Mexico high desert that's 7,000 feet. Not sure what that is and meters, I can look that up, but we're in a very dry, somewhat extreme environment. And this is the time of year that we get rain. And the whole region, I think pretty much the whole half of the continent has been experiencing drought recently. But we've gotten some rain and traditionally what happened will be dry. All your dry, dry, dry. We might get a little bit of moisture, snow storms in the, in the winter, need that for the, the mountains to get that snow pack in there, but then months of dry and then the monsoons come and there's storms that come in the afternoons, the, the mornings are clear and cool. And then we'll start to creep up, get hot. And then the monsoons come and they rain down. And this is the only time of year that things are green and they haven't been green in years. So it's amazing right now I'm looking out the window and there's little. There's new grass. There's grass, seedlings, grass has sprouted up in just the past few weeks and there, most of that grass is not going to make it. Unfortunately we can, you know, as land managers do what we can to try and, you know, put a little bit of mulch down and try and imitate the biology that was lost that this land needs. But this is the time of. This is the time of the, of the grass, the grasslands, the Rangers just blooming back, popping up. So we see this as our monsoon season, but it's, it's the celebration of the grassland. our, our approach for the wheel of the year is, well, there's, what's going on in terms of the Earth's position with the sun and the temperatures and all of that. But we also associate each season with some part of the biosphere that humans are intimately connected with and dependent upon. So. You'll or winter solstice is the time that we celebrate the forests. But this is the time of year that we celebrate the grasslands, the brittle environments. So a brittle environment is one like this, where you might get moisture, but it's not uniformly distributed throughout the year. And so different types of life have to exist in systems like this are our recovery processes are different than the non brittle environments that. moisture, whether it's a lot or a little, they get regular, so they can have very different decomposition processes than us. So we celebrate that grass. And for me, it's very special as my first degree was okay. Range ecology and management and working in restoration. So that's something that's just an eye that I have for anyways. I just love it and I'm fascinated by it and work in it. But it's the celebration of the grasses.  Mark: Yeah.  Yucca: we're doing lots of playing outside, mostly in the mornings in the evenings because the middle of the day is rough. When the storms are coming, running out and playing in the storms And we get it. So seldomly that it's like, oh, kids go get muddy to get as muddy as he possibly can. And as the adults, we will be cheering with with some beer, which we aren't big drinkers. We might have maybe a bottle or two a month of either beer or cider, but it's the celebration of the grasses. And that's, you know, that's where it comes from. So that's, what's going on on our side.  Mark: Great. That's great. I honestly don't know what I'm going to be doing this year. Sometimes I have invited people out to the coast because we're, we're like 25 miles from the Pacific ocean. Maybe 30 and the Pacific ocean is pretty impressive. I mean, I've been living relatively near it all my life. That's an awful lot of water. And and it's very fierce. It's it's misnamed. The Pacific ocean is, is definitely misnamed. The Atlantic coast doesn't get nearly the kind of ferocity in terms of waves and so forth if the Pacific coast does. But this time of year, it's a nice time to go to the beach and barbecue something. And. Play around and just be outside because we've been moving. And because of all the tumult that's been happening in my life right now, I haven't been able to put anything like that together yet, but I I'm still considering putting out feelers to some friends and seeing if they'd like to go out to the coast for for a little gathering and ritual next Saturday or Sunday. So that would be, and, and I should say that the actual midpoint between the solstice and the Equinox is around the 7th of August. So you've got, you've got a while in there to find a time that works for you and do something that feels appropriate to the season. Obviously. In a modern context, weekends tend to work out better for a lot of people. So that's what I tend to focus on. But Yeah. so that's, that's the sort of thing that I'm thinking. And also on the atheopagan isms, zoom mixer that we do on Saturday mornings, we're doing a ritual as well on zoom.  Yucca: Nice. Mark: Yeah. So I had something else also that I wanted to read that I had forgotten about, but now I remember which is that this is also the point in the season that the earliest of the gray it's tend to happen. And it may not be that may not be true this year because we've had so little in the way of water that everything is, is behind. But  Yucca: And intense heat and your area as well,  Mark: intense heat. Yes. We've. We've had a lot of reasoning and, and I mean last year, pretty much everybody's crop was lost because of smoke taint because of the smoke from the wildfires. Now this year, the question is, is there going to be anything that isn't turned into raisins to harvest? So pretty rough on the, on the grape industry right? now. But anyway because the, the traditional song, John Barleycorn must die is associated with this holiday. And it's also frequently the time when the harvest of the grapes, which we call the crush happens around here. I rewrote John Barleycorn Must Die as Joan Zinfandel Must Die. Zinfandel is a variety of grapes. That's grown around here quite a lot. It's a rich red wine and it's, it's very delicious. So I will read this redone version of John Barleycorn must die called Joan Zinfandel Must Die. There were three menne of the West County, their fortunes for to trye And these three menne swore upon an Oaken Tree Joan Zinfandel must dye   They've planted, trellised, and shorne her limbs And left her bare abed And these three menne swore a solemn vow Joan Zinfandel was ded.   They let her lye for a very long time, 'til the rains from heaven did fall And little Dame Joan sprowted out bright buds, and so amazed them all They've let her stand 'til Harvest Day 'til her arms were greene as grass And little Dame Joan's borne some full round fruit: a fulsome, ripened lass   They've hired menne with their knives so sharp to cut her fruit from her arms They threwe her into a wagon then, and rolled her unto the barn They brought her to the crushing floor where they crushed her to a mash, Squeezed her blood into fermenters, and added yeast: a dash.   They racked her to a barrel of oak, where dark and coolness dwell And there they made a solemn oath on poor Joan Zinfandel They've hired men to load her high with mighty lifts of forke And the bottler he has served her worse than that For he's bound her behind a cork.   And little Dame Joan in the crystal cup and she's brandy in the glass And little Dame Joan and the crystal cup proved the bravest lass at last The good folk they can't cook nor serve, nor live this life so well And the merchant he can't seal deal nor debt without a little Zinfandel   Yucca: great. I love your reference to the forklifts in  Mark: Yeah. The mighty lifts of forke...  Yucca: Well, yeah, there's something just charming about taking the kind of old timey language and tunes and applying it to the modern world.  Mark: Yeah. I agree. I agree. Yeah. So. As always, we hope you really enjoy this holiday that you, you take time to celebrate this moment in the year and look around and see what's happening in your local environment and with your local your local, agricultural and, and biotic cycles. And And as always seek happiness, seek joy because this, this is all too short Yucca: Yeah. Mark: we need to celebrate it as we go.  Yucca: Yes. Mark:  Thank you for this Yucca. It's been really a great time to have a conversation.  Yucca: Likewise, Mark.

We have some great new products to tell you about, and along the way, we will be discussing the 1967 classic The Who Sell Out.

For Infinite Banking, the ideal policy is a specially designed, high cash value, dividend-paying, whole life insurance policy with a mutual company. But some mutual companies, including Ohio National, have recently demutualized. So what is whole life insurance demutualization, and what does it mean? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TS9lWhrTpGU Today, we're going to talk about demutualizing and how it affects Infinite Banking policies. You'll learn: How a mutual company worksWhy you want a mutual company for Infinite BankingWhy life insurance companies demutualizeWhat to do if your life insurance company demutualizes Hopefully, we'll cover the question on your mind. So, if you'd love to see what the future holds for Infinite Banking, join us for the conversation! Table of contentsOhio National DemutualizationWhat is Infinite Banking or Privatized Banking?What is a Mutual Life Insurance Company?How Do You Choose the Best Company?How Does Whole Life Insurance Demutualization Work?What's the Reason for Ohio National Demutualization?Book A Strategy Call Ohio National Demutualization On March 23rd, a very prominent insurance company, Ohio National, announced their demutualization and planned merge with a Canadian company. In anticipation of the questions, we want to debunk and provide some clarity about what it means to demutualize, and how it should or shouldn't affect you. What is Infinite Banking or Privatized Banking? Conceptualized by Nelson Nash, Infinite Banking is a strategy of accessing the cash value of an insurance policy for leverage. It wasn't a new function, however his ideas were new. And so, he wrote a book called Becoming Your Own Banker. By leveraging the cash value of an insurance policy, and borrowing against it rather than withdrawing from it, you can make your money do two jobs. A specially designed policy, for high cash value, with a mutual company, is the preferred method for privatized banking.  What is a Mutual Life Insurance Company? A mutual insurance company is a company in which policy owners are partial owners of the insurance company, rather than stockholders. As a partial owner, you are entitled to a portion of the company's profits in the form of dividends. This also means that mutual companies are not beholden to investors. This allows them to operate on a much more conservative basis for long-term performance. A stock company, on the other hand, does not pay dividends to policy owners. Instead, investors pay dividends to stock owners, who may or may not have a policy. As a result, stock companies have to make short-term, risky decisions to appease stockholders and keep stocks up.  How Do You Choose the Best Company? In the world of life insurance, it can seem like there is an overwhelming amount of options. Do you choose mutual companies or stock companies, direct recognition companies or non-direct recognition companies, etc. How do you determine which are the best life insurance companies? First and foremost, we want to be clear that there are two main factors you should consider before anything else—the financial strength of the company, and the customer service. The former is important because you want a company that can meet its financial obligations.  Life insurance companies commit to paying every policyholder a death benefit. So are they making risky choices with their finances, or being more conservative? Mutual companies tend to think long-term and hold more reserves than stock companies. Even within mutual companies, it's important to look at financial strength. Then, you want to look at customer service. How do various companies treat their policyholders? What are people saying? Because of the nature of permanent insurance, you'll be working with a life insurance company for life. It's important to know how their service is.  How Does Whole Life Insurance Demutualization Work? In the case of demutualization,

Artbit feat. Techspressionist - Tommy Mintz Moderator: Davo Bradley with Colin Goldberg and Techspressionists Artbit podcast produced by Giovanna Sun In this episode, NYC-based photographer and CUNY Assistant professor Tommy Mintz shares his algorithmically crafted images. The Automated Digital Photo Collage (ADPC) is an algorithm for creating artwork. ADPC runs on a Raspberry Pi computer or Mac and a variety of cameras and screens or projectors. The software is a Python program, and it is freely available on github. June 17, 2021 - Tommy Mintz grew up in NYC's West Village in the 1980s and 90s. Tommy now lives in Chelsea with his wife, kids and cats and is currently an Assistant Professor of Photography at CUNY Kingsborough Community College in Brooklyn. He earned an MFA from Queens College in 2005 and a BA from Sarah Lawrence College in 1999. He has exhibited in galleries locally, nationally and internationally. Mintz is an urbanist of the Jane Jacobs school of thought. Through his work, he seeks to engage in a conversation about how Jacobs' ideas, of what makes a vibrant urban landscape, are important to consider in this moment of large-scale neighborhood change, currently most visible in massive construction projects and new sidewalk dining spaces. One of the unique aspects of Mintz's photographic work revolves around his creation, known as The Automated Digital Photo Collage. The ADPC is an algorithm for creating a time-lapse collage. It compares a sequence of photographs, pixel by pixel, for areas of change. Pixel areas that are detected as different are layered on top in the image. Layering areas of its own choosing, the ADPC creates a decidedly nonhuman view, which intrigues with its logic and strange algorithmic humor. The ADPC echoes our human struggle to remember during this moment in the inception of digital augmentation. The familiar gaps parallel our own fragmented perceptions. Conceptualized in 2004, as a public installation in a bus shelter, the ADPC is written in the Python programming language and was first exhibited at the Hudson Guild gallery in 2013 where it ran on Raspberry Pi computers and standard webcams, generating low resolution, live, interactive collages of gallery visitors.

Additionally, Dana Dentata is set to feature in the genre busting horror / musical podcast, Halloween In Hell, which will premiere October 10th via all podcast platforms.With her brazen rhymes and authoritative flows, Dana Dentata has gained distinction for being equal parts empowering and provocative. By pairing her unapologetically sexual lyrics with production that is just as menacing, Dentata creates liberating, femme-centric hip-hop. A native of Toronto, Canada, she grew up inspired by artists ranging from Britney Spears and Hole, to Marilyn Manson and Eminem. At the end of 2019, Dentata performed at Los Angeles’ Rolling Loud Festival and released her EP, 'Daddy Loves You.'Dana recently took part in Machine Gun Kelly and Audio Up’s four-part scripted Halloween musical HALLOWEEN IN HELL, which has hit 500K+ streams since it’s October 19th debut. The podcast and soundtrack stars Machine Gun Kelly, Tommy Lee, Dana Dentata, 24kGoldn, iann dior, and PHEM – who contributes vocals to a few tracks.The new three-track bundle includes “In Hell It’s Always Halloween Remix” featuring iann dior and PHEM, “Just Us Two” featuring Dana Dentata, and “Watch Me” featuring BigKlit.

Rock legend Tommy Lee stars as the Devil, featuring original music and performances by Machine Gun Kelly, iann dior, Dana Dentata, PHEM, and 24kGoldn. On Halloween, Satan lures three performers to his sadistic game show in Hell where they must perform or die. The winner returns to Earth. The losers will play out their showbiz careers in fiery hellfire and damnation.About Audio Up:Audio Up CEO Jared Gutstadt explains, “Halloween, much like other major holidays, deserves its own entertainment tent pole. While a lot of people focus on Christmas, Valentine's Day and New Year's Eve, we really believe that Halloween is an undersurface time of year for folks to enjoy original content. I was always a fan of ‘The Rocky Horror Picture Show’ and ‘Nightmare Before Christmas,’ and we believe we're creating an evergreen franchise that will allow us to unlock new stories every year with original music, possibly ending up in the realm of live or visual content. Machine Gun Kelly was an extremely logical and obvious partner for us. His brand pairs well with the season.”https://www.danadentata.com/https://www.instagram.com/danadentata/?hl=enhttps://twitter.com/danadentata?lang=enhttps://www.facebook.com/danadentata/We want to hear from you!

DICE 2019 | Race, Gender, and Identity Politics as Currency: Whose is it to Spend? A panel discussion with Mac Folkes, Esther Jeroboan, Christelle Oyiri & Djibril Sall. Conceptualized and moderated by DICE co-curator Ari Robey-Lawrence. In recent years, “Identity” has risen to the top of the contemporary consciousness, and nowhere more than in the underground and experimental arts scenes. In response, a race to establish “diversity” initiatives, particularly among music platforms that have been criticised for their lack of diversity, has transpired across the industry. Dance music has seen a surge in formerly underrepresented performers being pushed into the spotlight, and identity has become a new currency that festivals, club bookers and labels are eager to trade in. But to what extent are these formerly sidelined demographics able to control or mediate their new-found representation? How permanent are these apparent changes for the better, and who ultimately profits from such change? What sort of role should identity play in dance music (or other creative industries) and what an identity-based economy might look like when motivated by equitable representation, as opposed to the appearance of “diversity”? In memory of Mac Folkes. DICE Conference + Festival is a three-day music and discourse festival in Berlin, Germany, creating a more equitable model for music spaces.

Can SpaceX Reach Influence The Minds and Minds of The People Like The Shuttle? https://youtu.be/QQ74dGEXhYc As SpaceX Launches 60 Starlink Satellites, Scientists See Threat to ‘Astronomy Itself Link: https://www.nytimes.com/2019/11/11/science/spacex-starlink-satellites.html Various companies are pressing ahead with plans for internet service from space, which has prompted astronomers to voice concerns about the impact on research from telescopes on Earth. In response, SpaceX has said that it wants to mitigate the potential impacts of Starlink. But at the same time, the company is still moving full steam ahead. Requesting permission from the Federal Communications Commission to operate as many as 30,000 satellites on top of the 12,000 already approved. Should SpaceX succeed in sending this many satellites to low-Earth orbit, its constellation would contain more than eight times as many satellites as the total number currently in orbit. When James Lowenthal, an astronomer at Smith College, first saw the train of Starlink satellites marching like false stars across the night sky in the spring, he knew something had shifted. “I felt as if life as an astronomer and a lover of the night sky would never be the same,” he said. the American Astronomical Society has convened an ad hoc committee with Dr. Lowenthal and other experts to discuss their concerns with SpaceX representatives once a month. A spokeswoman from SpaceX said the company was taking steps to paint the Earth-facing bases of the satellites black to reduce their reflectiveness. Dr. Tyson is the chief scientist for the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope — a 27-foot, billion-dollar telescope under construction in Chile that will scan the entire sky every three days. The survey, the world's largest yet, will help astronomers better understand dark energy, dark matter, the origin of the Milky Way and the outer regions of the solar system. But because it is designed to scan faint objects, it is expected to be greatly affected by the satellites. NASA Satellite Photo Captures Moon-Sized Alien Ship Near Sun Link: https://www.ibtimes.com/nasa-satellite-photo-captures-moon-sized-alien-ship-near-sun-2840917 UFO expert claimed that one of NASA's satellites photographed a massive alien vessel flying near the Sun. According to the expert, the strange object could be a Dyson sphere that's harvesting energy from the giant star. The latest claims about an unidentified object hovering near the Sun was made Scott Waring of ET Database. Waring made the claims after viewing a photo taken by NASA's Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO), which was launched in 1995 to study the Sun. In the photo taken by the space agency's SOHO satellite, a white object can be seen directly above the Sun. Zooming in on the image would reveal that the object has a very distinct shape. “I would estimate that hundreds of UFOs if not more appear near our Sun daily,” he continued. “The real question is why?” According to Waring, it is possible that the reason why the massive object is flying near the Sun is because it's a Dyson sphere. Conceptualized by mathematician and physicist Freeman Dyson, a Dyson sphere is a theoretical megastructure in space that can house an entire civilization. It can remain operational and habitable for a very long time by harvesting energy from a nearby star.
