e163 transition innovation group - art and defeatism

I'm wanting something from art, which I think is much deeper, is a re-imagination of what it means to be human. I feel like we've instrumentalized and trivialized art and actually lost its capacity to expand our thesis of how we imagine ourselves and the world around us. I asked that question because the economy that we've created around art may have actually distorted its capacity to disturb us and to challenge our imagination of selves, which I think is probably at the root of the crisis that we face, a much deeper structural challenge of pretty much how we imagine ourselves and how we imagine our relationship with the world and every route.  - Indy Johar, March 20, 2024, conscient podcast e163On March 20, 2024 I had the privilege and pleasure of hosting a conversation on ‘how art can help defeat defeatism' with colleagues from the Transition Innovation Group, an inclusive and generative space for active consideration of societal transition, co-hosted by Michelle Baldwin and Taryn Lucas with the transformation team at Community Foundation of Canada.This group of social innovators meets every two weeks on Zoom and is dedicated to collectively reimagining an equitable and integrated view of the infrastructures needed for long-term societal transition for future generations. In other words, making the world a better place.I've been part of the group since its early days and we often speak about the transformative power of art and culture : art as a form of social innovation. So what you're about to hear is a 50 minute conversation between 20 or so participants from this group. You might know some of them. Present at this session were (and I hope I've not forgotten anyone) : Abdul Walid Azizi, Arlene Macdonald, Barbara Leckie, Carly Goodman, Cheryll Case, Emily Mercy, Graham Singh, Ian Prinsloo, Indy Johar, Jo Reynolds, Joanne Kviring, Laura Cozzi, Lesley Southwick-Trask, Louise Adongo, Malobi Elueme, Michelle Baldwin, Nishan Chelvachandran, Shannon Litzenberger, Stephen Huddart, Taryn Lucas and myself as facilitator (along with Michelle Baldwin who gave a hand when my computer stopped working for a few moments and I continued on my iphone).You'll hear responses to four questions : Is writer Rebecca Solnit right in saying that ‘fighting defeatism is also climate work'?How can art and culture help those who are ‘frightened by the ecological crisis'?How has art helped you personally overcome difficult moments in your social innovation work and what artworks do you recommend to your peers?How can social innovation projects and institutions better integrate artists and cultural workers in their work?Note: Abdul Walid Azizi's response was inaudible in the recording therefore he wrote a similar statement that I have added as a voiceover in this recording. Thanks to Walid for doing this. I appreciate his point about 'viewing art as both a language of representation and a collective memory of society underlines its importance in strengthening the relationship between the individual and society. However, in our society, which is increasingly dominated by material and monetary values, art seems to be on the verge of being sidelined. Nevertheless, one way to keep the arts alive is by incorporating them into different societal initiatives.'As you'll hear many interesting and unresolved issues were raised at this session such as : The notion of permanency with art and how that relates to defeatism and our sense of time constructs and legacy.How do we rebuild the permission space for deeply philosophical art that challenges the core of our being ? Will we recognize art when it shows up that reframes mindsets and how do we measure success ? Life is art. It changes without breaking and allows us to break open and break in and break through without breaking us.What is it that we expect an artist or artists to do? What is the result of their work? And if they do that, are we willing to pay them?I think there's something really important in this conversation where we move beyond the idea of transaction based payment for art. I don't think art is a transaction and it operates across and beyond transactions to an economy of care and entanglements.I suspect that we'll have another session on art and social innovation again soon. As usual, I invite comments on any conscient podcast social media or to me claude@conscient.ca.Some of the links shared in the chat during the episode include :Ben Von Wong (artist referred to in this conversation)Bolder, faster, together: Perspectives on societal transition (co-ordinated by the Transition Innovation Group)Catalyst Community Finance (explainer on social finance)e160 shannon litzenberger - a culture of collective thriving (podcast interview)Indigenous Data Sovereignty & Indigenous Futures (featuring Jonathan Dewar, Sofia Locklear, and Jason Lewis Hosted by: Joanna Redden)Mysteries, Yes (a poem by Mary Oliver that was read during the session)REDISTRIBUTE WEALTH, DEMOCRATIZE POWER & SHIFT ECONOMIC CONTROL (an introduction to  Resonance 2nd Edition, a Just Transition guide for philanthropic transformation)State of Emergence: Why we need artists right now (an arts policy essay by Shannon Litzenberger)We can't afford to be climate dommers by Rebecca Solnit *END NOTES FOR ALL EPISODESHere is a link for more information on season 5.

The good, the bad and the ugly of mobile device security in the expanding OT attack landscape.Included in the challenges associated with securing an ever-expanding OT attack surface is the role played by the increasing use of mobile devices – at both the enterprise and individual level. In fact, according to a recent report from Imprivata, only 46 percent of manufacturing organizations have the ability to maintain control over who has access to such devices and when, and 61 percent are using shared pin numbers to secure these devices. Additionally, an average of 16 percent of these devices are lost each year, costing organizations over $5M annually, not to mention the collateral damage from a security perspective.  This translates to an opportunity for hackers to unleash catastrophic damage by leveraging any vulnerabilities in areas like remote monitoring, and potentially new ways to worm into the networks associated with controlling your machines and systems.Watch/listen as Joel Burleson-Davis, SVP of Cyber Engineering at Imprivata, returns to Security Breach to discuss OT mobile device security, as well as:The journey the industrial sector has made from devices that were never intended to be connected, to what Joel describes as OT "super connectivity".Why OT continues to be an easy target for hackers.The evolution of hacking groups.How we might be over-doing all the connectivity.The double-edged sword that is mobile use in the industrial sector.Avoiding 'mobile defeatism'.Combatting the growing number of dwelling or living-off-the-land attacks.To catch up on past episodes, you can go to Manufacturing.net, IEN.com or MBTmag.com.

Ukraine may be facing the toughest chapter of its war since the first days of Russia's invasion. The frontlines have changed little over the past year. And, in November, Ukraine's top general, Valery Zaluzhny, used the word “stalemate” to describe the situation on the battlefield. In the West, the political tides may be shifting—especially in the United States, where Republicans in Congress are holding up new aid, and Donald Trump, running for reelection, has said he'll end the war in 24 hours if he returns to the White House.  Since the war began, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba has been tirelessly and eloquently making a case for Ukrainian victory, both on the world stage and in the pages of Foreign Affairs. In a January 23 conversation with Editor Daniel Kurtz-Phelan, he discussed why the West should not give up on Ukraine, and the country's prospects of victory in the months and years ahead.

The Coffee Klatch with Robert Reich
How Democrats can still protect reproductive rights and the planet

The Coffee Klatch with Robert Reich

Play Episode Listen Later Jul 4, 2022 5:17


I have no patience for all the handwringing by Democratic lawmakers in Washington over the Supreme Court's regressive decisions on abortion and the climate. “This MAGA, regressive, extremist Supreme Court is intent on setting America back decades, if not centuries,” Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said last Thursday after the Court dumped its final opinions for the term. Well, yes. So what are you going to do about it, Chuck? Last I looked Democrats were still in control of the Senate and House and the presidency. Which means Democrats still have the power to effectively overrule the Supreme Court on reproductive rights and the environment. They must now pass a national abortion rights act which will preempt state laws banning abortions, and a Clean Power Plan that will eliminate the Supreme Court's argument that Congress never authorized the Environmental Protection Agency to do this.These moves are not only crucial to the nation. They're also critical for Democrats facing midterm elections four months from now. Reproductive rights and the environment are hugely galvanizing issues for Democrats and Independents.Some Democrats I talk to expect to lose control over both houses of Congress in the midterms, regardless. Rubbish. Defeatism is a self-fulfilling prophesy. Midterm elections are all about turnout. Young people and college-educated voters made all the difference in the last midterms in 2018 — giving Democrats control of the House by a wide margin. While young people usually don't pay much attention to midterm elections, a record 36 percent of them voted in 2018, in contrast to 20 percent in 2014.Turnout of college-educated voters — another critical voting constituency to the Democratic Party, and also a majority of Independents who vote in midterms — also spiked in the 2018 midterms. True, Trump was a driving force for both groups in 2018. But it's not as if Trump has disappeared. His attempted coup continues to this day. Nor would the Supreme Court's extraordinary rightward lurch on reproductive rights and the environment have occurred but for Trump's three Supreme Court appointees. It's also true that Democrats have to cope with a filibuster in the Senate. But they need only fifty votes (plus the Vice President) to carve out exceptions to the filibuster for reproductive rights and for environment. Carve-outs from the filibuster are not uncommon. There have been some 160 of them, including one for confirming Supreme Court nominees (courtesy of Mitch McConnell and Senate Republicans). If Republicans regain control of the Senate, you can bet they'll carve out exceptions to the filibuster for whatever they want to do. They may abolish the filibuster altogether. But can Senate Democrats even muster 50 votes for such carve-outs? Joe Manchin and Kyrstin Sinema have signaled before they they won't go along. Even if Manchin and Sinema were reluctant to agree to such carve-outs before, the situation has changed dramatically now that the Supreme Court has reversed Roe and stopped the Clean Power Plan. If reproductive rights are going to be preserved and the planet protected, Democrats must unite, and Manchin and Sinema must join them. If they won't, let the nation see. Don't let Republicans off the hook here, either. Alaska's Lisa Murkowski is up for reelection this fall. She talks a good game about reproductive rights and about the environment. Last February, she and Maine Republican Senator Susan Collins introduced the Reproductive Choice Act, to prevent women's reproductive choices from being weakened or eliminated. And she co-authored with Joe Manchin an oped in the Washington Post about the importance of ending climate change. Hell, Utah's Mitt Romney just published a piece in the Atlantic entitled “America is in denial,” warning about climate catastrophe. Okay, Mitt: Unless you're in total denial that the Supreme Court just gutted the Clean Power Plan, you have to join with Democrats to carve out an exception to the filibuster for the environment and then vote for the Plan. It's time for Democratic lawmakers and anyone else who cares about reproductive rights and the environment to act. Now. At least hold votes and put lawmakers from both chambers on record. Paint a clear contrast ahead of the November midterms. Give voters a reason to turn out. Please consider a paid or gift subscription to help sustain this work. This is a public episode.

"How many times does it take for a chief to hear near-misses before they recognize there's a systemic problem?" This is the question posed by Chief Marc Bashoor in this week's Side Alpha Podcast.  Chief Bashoor has been following several mayday incidents as well as trends found in mayday incidents, as found in the research of Project Mayday, and identified three key areas to address: The need to recognize conditions that could lead to a mayday; What firefighters should do when they find themselves in trouble; and How to change a culture that discourages firefighters from calling a mayday "too early." Bashoor argues that it's time for firefighters to move beyond their fear of defeatism and ridicule and instead focus on their safety. Learn more about Project Mayday.

In our interview, Malm addresses some of his claims about the use of political counterviolence and the ability of social movements to regulate it. Malm is making the case for thinking more deeply about the almost inevitable radicalization of generations of young people that are waking up in a world that has been more or less abandoned to the interests of fossil capital. Given that the globe's richest 1% bears the greatest responsibility for the climate crisis--because elites invest too much in fossil fuels and burn way too much of them--it makes sense, Malm suggests, to guide anger in the political direction of undoing the extraction and extortion, the violence created through fossil capitalism.

Hardcore Humanism with Dr. Mike

This week on the Hardcore Humanism with Dr. Mike podcast, we got the chance to talk with Mark Greenway, the vocalist of the band Napalm Death. Napalm Death is considered one of the originators of a style of music called grindcore, which is a fusion of two already intense genres – hardcore punk and extreme metal. Not only is Napalm Death considered a grindcore pioneer, but also perhaps the greatest grindcore band in history.One of the most notable aspects of grindcore in general, and Napalm Death in particular, is the content of the lyrics, which often directly confronts and challenges societal issues. For example, in describing their 2015 album Apex Predator/Easy Meat, Pitchfork described Greenway’s vocal delivery as akin to, “Big Bad Wolf’s cousin from a nuclear dystopia,” as the album took on the damaging effects of capitalism and animal agriculture. And their new album Throes of Joy in the Jaws of Defeatism continues in that tradition, examining the very human costs of our current political strife.In previous conversations with Greenway, we have talked about the importance of humanity and individuality to one’s personal well-being. During this discussion, he expands the conversation to address the socio-political implications of those concepts. On a political level, Greenway advocates for what is known as peaceful anarchism – which can be defined as moving away from governmental control of society that favors compulsory laws to a more voluntary organization that relies on cooperation. From Greenway’s perspective, separate governments and nationalist agendas have made people more vulnerable to exploitation and war, whereas peaceful anarchism will help unite people who may otherwise be at odds over governmental allegiance.When Greenway talks about humanity, he is particularly talking about being humane, or having compassion and benevolence towards others. There is substantial interest in how compassion can affect us as individuals and as a society. There is evidence to suggest that compassion is a distinct emotion that can impact moral judgment and behaviors such as altruism. For example, in one experimental study, 132 participants witnessed a simulated unfair financial exchange. Those with higher levels of compassion were more likely to help the victim of the unfair interaction. In another study using the same sample, participants were trained in either a compassion-based meditation or control group. Two weeks later, those in the compassion-based meditation group were more likely to help the victim. The potential clinical implications of compassion are captured in the recent development of compassion-focused therapy, which is designed to help focus on enhancing self-compassion as a method for reducing shame within patients.So, let’s listen and learn from mark Greenway about his approach to being more humane on a personal, creative and societal level!For more information about Hardcore Humanism, please visit our website: hardcorehumanism.com.

Barney Greenway of Napalm Death is our guest this week. We discuss the band's first new album in five years, Throes of Joy in the Jaws of Defeatism, how he and bassist Shane Embury always argue about the sequence of songs on their records, and the non-metal bands that heavily influence Napalm Death. Barney also talks about how the world has changed since the last time the band released new music, his views on the dehumanization of people across the world, and the insanity of countries having gay-free zones and the ideology of scapegoating people due to their sexual preference. Petar, Brandon, and Jozalyn discuss Jozalyn doing stand up comedy with the audience wearing noise-cancelling headphones, Corey Taylor putting his minor league band Stone Sour on indefinite hiatus, and Five Finger Death Punch making a film. Songs: Napalm Death - “Backlash Just Because," Unleash The Archers - “Abyss” and Be Well - “Morning Light”

A common driver for addiction is perfectionism. When we feel like we don't have control over our own life and can't achieve perfection, we seek for something that we can control (in a sex addict's life, this is lust). When perfectionism drives us, we can develop a defeatist mentality (I'm not going to do it perfectly, so why try?) In this episode, I talk about perfectionism, how defeatism appears in our lives and how to overcome our defeatist mentalities. Instead of giving up when we make a mistake, take time to look at your mistake and learn how to do better next time.

In this episode, Dr. Lukens discusses emotional programming. If you want to be somebody who's no longer self-defeating, you have to recognize this largely unseen, but predictable trap of second-order emotion programming for action that we as humans employ to control, erase, dominate, manage, or minimize some other ongoing program for action and feeling states connected with this. This is our resistance to feeling the emotions we do not like to feel- we use second-order programming (Fear or Anger) to resist those emotions. So, I do have a fear of guilt. I do have anger about some guilt. And I wish to squash the information coming from the guilt feelings, which are the signals that there is guilt. And if I get rid of the signals I can pretend that the alarm clock doesn't exist and that the meaning of the alarm clock doesn't exist or isn't relevant. And this is my way of controlling my experience. And we begin to do this when we're quite young. And we're encouraged by everybody else because they're all doing it too. But this is what leads the majority of people into a self-defeating paradox of which they can't seem to get out from underneath.

Now that she’s taken a step back from Lookout Landing for the bright lights of Cooperstown, Isabelle gets a bunch of fun new titles. Moving across the country and taking a job with an unbiased baseball institution has slightly morphed her fandom, much to her mother’s chagrin. 13:15-33:40: Defeatism and pessimism, the Griffey and Edgar of Mariner fan emotions. Matthew turns a serious conversation into a method of shoehorning Love Island into the podcast.

Isabelle dunks on a Yankees fan while opening up an interesting thought experiment into the validity of caring about your team. 45:20-55:30: What it was like for Isabelle to help induct Edgar Martinez into the Hall of Fame this summer? Apparently the scene at induction day is a lot like Pride Rock.  55:35-1:02:01: At the end of the day, what keeps bringing you back to the Seattle Mariners?

Today you might find yourself dealing with something tough. Stuck in a new situation. Hit with a situation that’s been developing for some time, but only now is bringing you pain. In tight situations like these, you need energy, creativity and above all faith in yourself. Defeatism won’t get you anywhere (except defeat). Focusing your entire effort on the little bit of room, the tiny scrap of an opportunity, is your best shot. As Seneca put it, “Apply yourself to thinking through difficulties—hard times can be softened, tight squeezes widened, and heavy loads made lighter for those who can apply the right pressure.” That’s not to say everything can magically be fixed. Seneca didn’t say that. He said hard times can be softened. A little room can be made. Blows can be blunted. But not if you give up. Not if you quit. Not if you tell yourself it’s somebody else’s fault and that it’s terribly unfair. You always have a move to make. There’s always something you can do. Even if that move is just making your peace.

I admit it. I confess. I’ve got a touch of what my guest today calls “progressophobia”. Ever since Charles Dickens got hold of me back in middle school, and William Blake after that, I’ve been a little suspicious of the Great Onward March of science and technology. Gene therapy, healthier crops, safer, more efficient forms of nuclear energy? Very nice, very nice. But what about eugenics, climate change, and Fukushima?  For every problem human ingenuity solves, doesn’t human nature create a new one, on a bigger scale? Dammit, Spock, can your cold, calculating reason fathom the mysteries of the human heart? But you know what? After devouring all 453 pages and 75 graphs of psychologist Steven Pinker’s new book ENLIGHTENMENT NOW, I admit defeat. The defeat of defeatism. This man has done the math. Since the 18th century things have been getting better in pretty much every dimension of human well-being.
