Podcasts about Consumerism

How about some good news for a change? News that has nothing to do with Donald Whatzizname. News you might even use.It's about “The Library of Things,” a real library, but different. Just as our public libraries share a wealth of publications – this one in Brunswick, Maine, also maintains a wealth of tools, devices, equipment, and other “things” for people to check-out, use, and return.Hazel Onsrud, a creative, can-do spirit on the staff of Brunswick's Curtis Memorial Library, initiated this commonwealth of some 1,500 products that locals can borrow for free. The New York Times reports that residents are flocking to this pragmatic, beneficial resource for the common good. And why wouldn't they? After all, not everyone can afford a $350 KitchenAid mixer of their own, and a roto-tiller you might use once a year could be shared by many. Also, a bullhorn, a grain mill, a ukulele, an embossing machine – seriously, we should borrow, rather than thinking each of us must buy and store these things… or do without.This concept reduces each family's expenses, waste, and accumulation of “stuff,” while advancing cooperation and community. And the public library infrastructure is already in place to make it available.This idea is not new, nor is it unique to Brunswick. In fact, America's progressive populist movement of the 1870s built an entire economic alternative to corporate monopoly around this very concept. And today, some 2,000 “libraries-of-things” are already functioning worldwide, giving ordinary people a grassroots way to avoid profiteering, corporate consumerism.Hazel Onsrud has issued a challenge to us: “If a few of us can do this in Maine,” she says “anyone can.” And you and I are the anyones to do it.Jim Hightower's Lowdown is a reader-supported publication.

In this talk at an event in Melbourne, Australia, Acharya das explores the concepts of peace, balance, and inner fulfillment in modern society. The Bhagavad Gita's asserts that happiness cannot exist without peace. Most people's experience is not a life of peace. Consumerism, social media, and self-centeredness have contributed to widespread mental health issues and disconnection from our spiritual nature. Over the past century, people's lives have shifted from a needs-based culture to a desires-based one, largely under the influence of devious advertising psychology and now by manipulative algorithms. The result is an absence of real peace and a lack of life balance. True peace and balance will come from understanding our identity as eternal spiritual beings, temporarily residing in physical bodies. This can be experienced through regular meditation practice using spiritual sound as a means to reconnect with our spiritual identity and achieve genuine inner peace.

What does real devotion look like in a world built around comfort and convenience? In this message, Pastor Darren looks at Acts 2:42–47 and shows us a picture of the first church. It was a community of people devoted to Jesus, devoted to one another, and devoted to His mission.So much of faith today can become about consuming spiritual content, showing up to events, or chasing comfort. But the call of Jesus is different. He invites us to be all in. To live in a way that reflects heaven on earth. To be a people shaped by Scripture, filled with the Spirit, and committed to love.This teaching will help you see what the church was meant to be and how to live with wholehearted devotion in an age of consumerism.

Pastor Scott Silcox invites us to reconsider the true purpose of church gatherings as he explores the concept of God's presence in his "Build the House" series. Looking at the return of the Israelites from Babylonian exile, he reveals how their first priority wasn't building temple walls but establishing an altar—securing God's presence before anything else.• Worship is the first purpose of the church, not a precursor to the "real" content• The Israelites built an altar before rebuilding the temple because presence precedes programs• Consumerism in church culture leads to spiritual deformation rather than formation• Sacrifice forms us into Christ's likeness while consumerism deforms us into the world's likeness• The modern church often lacks the language of consecration and set-apartness• We must stop treating church as something to consume and start seeing it as a place to contribute• As "living stones," we gather to form an altar where God's presence can dwellCome ready to give, not just receive. When we approach worship with a sacrificial mindset, we create space for God to move powerfully in our lives and community.

The necessary politics of our age is to turn down the virtual reality and reintroduce actual reality. A tree will do this. The Earth marches closer with every fire and flood. No politician is as removed from reality as Donald Trump, no bank is farther from holding your savings than JPMorgan Chase, no religion more distant from bringing the comfort of unconditional grace than the fundamentalist empires with their God. And in our performance we call that political, financial and spiritual capitulation - we call it shopping. Consumerism. The necessary politics of our age is to stop living in the unreal echo of products. All together now, sing it! "Stop Shopping! Start Living!"

We ALL have ideology that guides us. Developing a personal, social, and cultural ideology is an inescapable fact of life. So let's consider your consumer ideology for a minute: How much of it is yours? How much of it was pushed upon you? How much of it is manufactured by advertisements? Do you have any brands you feel "loyal" to? Why? Is it a superior product? A better price? Or does it appear to align with your ideology?Today's sources: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consumerismhttps://academic.oup.com/jcr/article/49/1/74/6358727?login=false#355249712https://business.columbia.edu/faculty/research/consumption-ideologyhttps://sserr.ro/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/sserr-10-2-145-149.pdfResources for Resisting a Coup: https://makeyourdamnbed.medium.com/practical-guides-to-resisting-a-coup-b44571b9ad66SUPPORT JULIE (and the show!): https://supporter.acast.com/make-your-damn-bedDONATE to the Palestinian Children's Relief Fund: www.pcrf.netGET AN OCCASIONAL PERSONAL EMAIL FROM ME: www.makeyourdamnbedpodcast.comTUNE IN ON INSTAGRAM FOR COOL CONTENT: www.instagram.com/mydbpodcastOR BE A REAL GEM + TUNE IN ON PATREON: www.patreon.com/MYDBpodcastOR WATCH ON YOUTUBE: www.youtube.com/juliemerica The opinions expressed by Julie Merica and Make Your Damn Bed Podcast are intended for entertainment purposes only.

In this episode of the Ordinary Christian Podcast, Craig Thompson discusses the importance of defining the mission of the church amidst cultural disagreements and challenges. He emphasizes the need for Christians to resist secular influences that seek to redefine their mission, focusing on the imperatives of loving God and making disciples. The conversation explores the characteristics of modern culture, the various models of Christian engagement, and the commitment required to uphold the mission given by Christ.TakeawaysDo not allow those who do not understand the mission to define the mission.The church must resist cultural influences that contradict its mission.Cultural disagreements often center around sexual ethics and gender roles.Individualism in culture contrasts with the Christian concept of community.Social justice movements can conflict with biblical teachings.Relativism challenges the authority of Scripture.Consumerism undermines commitment to discipleship.Modern culture is characterized by self-fulfillment and self-definition.Christ can transform culture through the power of the Holy Spirit.Celebration by culture should not be the goal of Christians.

The United Shenanigans of America: Unmasking the Illusions of FreedomIn the first part of a five-part series titled 'The United Shenanigans of America: The Narcissistic Cult of Consciousness,' the host explores the concept of freedom in America, arguing that it is a facade masking deep systemic issues akin to cult-like indoctrination. The discussion covers the illusion of freedom, consumerism, the euphemistic language used to control society, and the diminishing value of true human connection. The series, which led to ORRA The Informationalist permanent ban from TikTok, aims to uncover the reality behind America's societal structures, challenging listeners to question their perceptions of freedom, productivity, and self-worth. The episode concludes with a promise to delve deeper into societal issues in subsequent episodes.00:00 Introduction to the United Shenanigans of America01:32 The Facade of Freedom04:55 The Cult of American Exceptionalism10:58 The Euphemism Economy18:28 Digital Chains and Social Media23:41 Conclusion and Next Episode PreviewBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/network-of-awareness--4447646/support.

If you thought the church was safe from the cult of capitalism + culture of consumerism?Well, I hate to inform you, they're both victims + perpetrators of it.For example: Blessings in the form of financial gains/cars/houses/jobs. Tithing as a way to get closer to God. The church's exploitation of tax exemptions. Wealth disparities in the church. Grifters selling snake oil as a way to "heal". Targeting vulnerable communities + promising salvation for a price. A history of scandals being covered up which take them from isolated incidents to systemic issues.Listen to NPR talk about this: https://www.npr.org/transcripts/1013430166Watch John Oliver talk about it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7y1xJAVZxXgRead about Prosperity Theology: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prosperity_theology#:~:text=Prosperity%20theology%20(sometimes%20referred%20to,grace%20or%20favor%20and%20blessings.Resources for Resisting a Coup: https://makeyourdamnbed.medium.com/practical-guides-to-resisting-a-coup-b44571b9ad66SUPPORT JULIE (and the show!): https://supporter.acast.com/make-your-damn-bedDONATE to the Palestinian Children's Relief Fund: www.pcrf.netGET AN OCCASIONAL PERSONAL EMAIL FROM ME: www.makeyourdamnbedpodcast.comTUNE IN ON INSTAGRAM FOR COOL CONTENT: www.instagram.com/mydbpodcastOR BE A REAL GEM + TUNE IN ON PATREON: www.patreon.com/MYDBpodcastOR WATCH ON YOUTUBE: www.youtube.com/juliemerica The opinions expressed by Julie Merica and Make Your Damn Bed Podcast are intended for entertainment purposes only.

In this episode, we delve into the topic of consumerism. Together, we reflect on what drives us to buy, how we value material possessions, and society's pressures that drive consumer behavior. Antoinette questions how often consumerism masquerades as self-care, leading to a cycle of emotional spending. We challenge ourselves to interrogate our purchasing habits and consider the deeper motivations behind our buying choices. How can we prioritize real emotional well-being over material acquisition?

"In contemporary consumer society, the purchase and the consumption of products have evolved beyond the mere satisfaction of basic human needs,[1] transforming into an activity that is not only economic but also cultural, social, and even identity-forming.""Today, people are universally and continuously being exposed to mass consumerism and product placement in the media or even in their daily lives. The line between information, entertainment, and promotion of products has been blurred, thus explaining how people have become more reformulated into consumerist behaviors. Shopping centers are a representative example of a place where people are explicitly exposed to an environment that welcomes and encourages consumption."The Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consumerism#:~:text=In%20contemporary%20consumer%20society%2C%20the,%2C%20and%20even%20identity%2Dforming.Resources for Resisting a Coup: https://makeyourdamnbed.medium.com/practical-guides-to-resisting-a-coup-b44571b9ad66SUPPORT JULIE (and the show!): https://supporter.acast.com/make-your-damn-bedDONATE to the Palestinian Children's Relief Fund: www.pcrf.netGET AN OCCASIONAL PERSONAL EMAIL FROM ME: www.makeyourdamnbedpodcast.comTUNE IN ON INSTAGRAM FOR COOL CONTENT: www.instagram.com/mydbpodcastOR BE A REAL GEM + TUNE IN ON PATREON: www.patreon.com/MYDBpodcastOR WATCH ON YOUTUBE: www.youtube.com/juliemerica The opinions expressed by Julie Merica and Make Your Damn Bed Podcast are intended for entertainment purposes only.

Consumerism is addicting, attractive, seemingly Language of economists + violence. Consumerism has literally seeped into every crack of our lives. Socially? It's always been a signifier of success. How good of a job, how much money you make, never what a difference you've made or contributions to the greater good. But it's deeper than that. Brands are so worshipped in this country ( A 2019 UK study has revealed 83% of children between the ages of five and 16 can't identify a bumblebee. “How are we going to fall in love with the world if we don't pick berries?” — Robin Wall KimmererDivest from a culture of consumerism. Don't shame yourself here, because well… you get it… and though there is no ethical consumption under capitalism, it doesn't mean there isn't less and more ethical choices. And I recommend that each and every one of us occasionally check in with our current consumerism habits. How much online shopping do you do? Maybe you can reasonably cut back on at one or two purchases this month? But not just our literal shopping habits need evaluation.

Death of the middle class: What is it: Anyone who has had to work to pay for rent, bills, food, etc. How to reestablish it: Corporate regulation, People over profit, Wage theft prosecution (no more deferred accountability loopholes), etc. (the upcoming series will contain specific examples)What's killing it: A system that prioritizes profits over people means: Catering to the wealthy and eliminating services + experiences for the middle class.Eliminating the working class from every direction. Culture, economics, sustainability, livelihoods, nothing is safe. Wage theft is the largest form of theft even if you take all of the other forms of theft that exist, combined. So they're stealing our money, benefiting from corporate bailout loopholes that they lobbied for, which means their own workers are paying taxes into the system that robs them of their own profits, and THEN Pricing us out with an increase in taxes, wage theft, and manufactured inflation.They've privatized or are in the process of fully privatizing everything: Prisons, Healthcare, Vet care, Wellness, Dialysis, Education, Housing, Politics, and the land itself… literally everything that should be in the best interest of the public and the world at large has been bought and sold to the highest bidder. But it is not hopeless. What is manufactured can be restructured. We can fight back, if we're strategic and conscious of the ways in which they're attacking us. This is psychological warfare, only when we recognize this, can we begin to push back + defend ourselves against these attacks.

No, it's a worldwide uprising. But I'm speaking to my home country just now - addressing the persistent mental disease of Consumerism. This passivity! It's over. We have a history of rising up. It's time to be radical freedom-fighters again. We've done it before. Our gas and oil gov't kills how many thousands of us each month with heat, storm, wildfire and drought? WE ALL KNOW IT. Earthalution. What are the weapons of an Earthalution? Would we resemble the French resistance in WW2, or the Civil Rights Movement of the 50's and 60's, or ACT UP in the 80's and 90's... we know that Consumerism seats us in the chair watching the screen as the wind blows off the roof. Leave the screen first. We have to do this together.

In this episode of Crazy Wisdom, Stewart Alsop talks with Paul Spencer about the intersection of AI and astrology, the balance of fate and free will, and how embodiment shapes human experience in time and space. They explore cultural shifts since 2020, the fading influence of institutions, the “patchwork age” of decentralized communities, and the contrasts between solar punk and cyberpunk visions for the future. Paul shares his perspective on America's evolving role, the symbolism of the Aquarian Age, and why philosophical, creative, and practical adaptability will be essential in the years ahead. You can connect with Paul and explore more of his work and writings at zeitvillemedia.substack.com, or find him as @ZeitvilleMedia on Twitter and You Tube.Check out this GPT we trained on the conversationTimestamps00:00 Stewart Alsop and Paul Spencer open with a discussion on AI and astrology, exploring fate versus free will and how human embodiment shapes the way we move through time and space.05:00 Paul contrasts the human timeline, marked by death, with AI's lack of finality, bringing in Brian Johnson's transhumanism and the need for biological embodiment for true AI utility.10:00 They explore how labor, trade, food, and procreation anchor human life, connecting these to the philosophical experience of space and time.15:00 Nietzsche and Bergson's ideas on life force, music, and tactile philosophy are discussed as alternatives to detached Enlightenment thinking.20:00 The conversation shifts to social media's manipulation, institutional decay after 2020, and the absence of an “all clear” moment.25:00 They reflect on the chaotic zeitgeist, nostalgia for 2021's openness, and people faking cultural cohesion.30:00 Paul uses Seinfeld as an example of shared codes, contrasting it with post-woke irony and drifting expectations.35:00 Pluto in Aquarius and astrological energies frame a shift from heaviness to a delirious cultural mood.40:00 Emotional UBI and the risks of avoiding emotional work lead into thoughts on America's patchwork future.45:00 They explore homesteading, raw milk as a cultural symbol, and the tension between consumerism and alternative visions like solar punk and cyberpunk.50:00 Paul highlights the need for cross-tribal diplomacy, the reality of the surveillance state, and the Aquarian Age's promise of decentralized solutions.Key InsightsPaul Spencer frames astrology as a way to understand the interplay of fate and free will within the embodied human experience, emphasizing that humans are unique in their awareness of time and mortality, which gives life story and meaning.He argues that AI, while useful for shifting perspectives, lacks “skin in the game” because it has no embodiment or death, and therefore cannot fully grasp or participate in the human condition unless integrated into biological or cybernetic systems.The conversation contrasts human perception of space and time, drawing from philosophers like Nietzsche and Bergson who sought to return philosophy to the body through music, dance, and tactile experiences, challenging abstract, purely cerebral approaches.Post-2020 culture is described as a “patchwork age” without a cohesive zeitgeist, where people often “fake it” through thin veneers of social codes. This shift, combined with Pluto's move into Aquarius, has replaced the heaviness of previous years with a chaotic, often giddy nihilism.America is seen as the primary arena for the patchwork age due to its pioneering, experimental spirit, with regional entrepreneurship and cultural biodiversity offering potential for renewal, even as nostalgia for past unity and imperial confidence lingers.Tensions between “solar punk” and “cyberpunk” visions highlight the need for cross-tribal diplomacy—connecting environmentalist, primitivist, and high-tech decentralist communities—because no single approach will be sufficient to navigate accelerating change.The Aquarian Age, following the Piscean Age in the procession of the equinoxes, signals a movement from centralized, hypnotic mass programming toward decentralized, engineering-focused solutions, where individuals must focus on building beauty and resilience in their own worlds rather than being consumed by “they” narratives.

A powerful look at how Human Design can guide you out of consumerism's “never enough” trap and back into balance, self-trust, and real freedom.Consumerism is in the air we breathe—and it's shaped even the spiritual and self-help worlds, selling growth from a place of “you're broken.” In this episode, Meg shows you another way. She reveals how to spot the trap, walk a different path in your own life, and use Human Design to see when you're out of balance so you can return to alignment and self-trust.Send us a message and let us know what you love about this episodeImportant Links: www.Megthompson.com Attuned - CLICK HERE Let's Connect on Instagram - CLICK HERE

First episode in a new series! Conversations with my friend Mark, "Blessable vs. Earning God's Favor." Psalms 1:1 reads, "Blessed is the one who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked, nor stand in the path of sinners, nor sit in the seat of scoffers." This verse echoes the whole Bible which teaches that God wants to bless, but that He especially wants to bless a certain kind of person. In this rolling mutual talk Mark and I work through the (apparent) tension of being a person God wants to bless versus thinking one has earned God's blessing by being virtuous (or any other number of means). Is it wrong, selfish even, to want to be blessed? Should we entirely eliminate personal desires when it comes to seeking God's blessings? Come and think with the two of us!

Consumerism is impacting all health systems but does this mean the same thing in the same way to academic medical centers, urban hospitals, and rural health systems? Reed Smith and Chris Boyer unpack the growing tension between what patients want and what different types of health systems are built to deliver. From broadband gaps in rural markets to brand-driven loyalty in AMCs, they explore whether “digital transformation” really means the same thing in each context—and what happens when strategy drifts from mission. Later, Chris sits down with Andy Chang, Chief Marketing Officer at UChicago Medicine, who shares how his team is driving consumer-centered digital strategy within the complexity of an academic medical center. It's a candid look at how one system is adapting to a consumer world, without losing sight of what makes it unique.

After World War II Americans became bonafide consumers. And yet conditioned consumerism sneakily hijacks our time, money, and mental bandwidth. It also harms the planet. The system is entrenched, the marketing is omnipresent, and it's all designed to keep us buying until we die. But there IS a way out. On today's show author and former marketer Ashlee Piper pulls back the curtain on modern marketing so that we may hop off the addictive consumer hamster wheel for good. Here's a preview: [5:30] There's a reason why so many of us shop to soothe our discontent (We're told to!)

We're obsessing about teeth today (more than usual)! Hear why Susie thinks she got confirmation that wisdom teeth removal is done too frequently, and why she and Gen Z finally have something in common. We discuss the viral accusation of "Gen Z stare," and theorize why it's happening. We learn about a study done on persuasion that made a bunch of people furious on Reddit. We get an update on the Grandma Scam that Susie experienced a few years ago. We talk about "mind blanking," and find out who is more likely to go into this unconscious state, what the brain is doing when we are thoughtless, and why it happens. And let's just say we have some idea of which gender this happens to more frequently. Plus, we hear about a woman who does the work of the Tooth Fairy, and we decide the whole ritual is just a byproduct of capitalism and consumerism.13:52 - The "Gen Z Stare" is is what many people are labeling this blank look of confusion.21:33 - Could an AI chatbot change your mind?

In this episode, I reflect on why I still choose minimalism, even when life gets messy, why it remains one of the most powerful tools I have to keep things simple, and how one simple question continues to keep me grounded in what matters most.For more go to: www.scottmlynch.comLevel up your life by joining my Patreon where you'll get exclusive content every week and more badass offerings (rips t-shirt in half, Hulk Hogan style, and runs around the room). And/or…Unlock practical and tactical insights on how to master your mindset and optimize your happiness directly to your inbox.If you're a glutton for punishment and want more swift kicks in the mind follow me on social:InstagramYouTubeLeave a review and tell me how I suck so I can stop doing that or you can also tell me about things you like.
