Louise Rönnerdahl (LinkedIn) executive coach and coach at Leader intelligence came on the podcast and spoke of the current trend towards dehumanisation. We spoke of the IQ the EQ and the SQ (spiritual intelligence) in the model Leader intelligence in Sweden is working with. As well as the intelligence of the body. The fact that a manager is both a manager and a leader and need to have competence in both. We also spoke about what it is we're afraid of and why it is, that for many of us, 'the worst' has already happened. This is a deepdive into the new paradigm of leadership. Enjoy! Host: Amit Paul.

 Acknowledgement of Country// Headlines// We replay Spike's conversation from November last year with Iain MacIntyre from the Commons Social Change Library. The Commons Social Change Library is a service that documents the collective wisdom of people who have engaged in social change struggles and campaigns in so-called Australia and the world, and is committed to making that information free and accessible to support the fight against social injustice. Today, we played part one of Spike's interview with Iain, where they discussed a definition of social change and free and accessible information. They also discussed why documenting struggles helps us achieve social change, and the first steps you can take in a social justice campaign. Listen to part 2 here and part 3 here.// Yesterday, Priya caught up with RMIT NTEU Branch Committee member Liam Ward on the picket to hear about the strike action running this week from Monday 25-Thursday 28 March in the face of management's ongoing delays in negotiating a new enterprise bargaining agreement. RMIT's previous EBA agreement expired over 1000 days ago! We were also joined by rank and file RMIT NTEU member Tami to contextualise this industrial action in relation to worker solidarity with Palestine as Israel escalates its genocidal campaign of bombing and starvation in Gaza. Note: Priya is also an RMIT employee and NTEU member, and has been on strike with colleagues this week - donate to our strike fund here. Your support makes a big difference, especially for precariously employed casual workers at RMIT.// Content note: discussion of racism and torture. Support is available via Lifeline on 13 11 14, or for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Listeners on 13 YARN (13 92 76).Human rights activist and lawyer Veronica Koman spoke with Priya about the systemic dehumanisation of West Papuans by the Indonesian state and military, given the recent circulation of several horrific images and video of the torture of Mr Warinus Murib and several other young West Papuans. By maintaining ambiguity about the legal status of its military occupation of West Papuan territory, the Indonesian state continues to evade and stymie international scrutiny of its violent colonial occupation, while framing all West Papuans subjected to brutality at the hands of soldiers as potential resistance fighters.

Shoshana speaks about genocide as a mass disabling event and what it means for disabled folks to engage in solidarity actions across colonial borders and from stolen land in so-called Australia.//

The US House of Representatives has just approved a bill with the potential to ban Tiktok from America. But this story is about much more than corporate America's jealousy over its Chinese rival's more profitable and addictive business? Its about the direction of social media and an increasingly docile, addicted citizen, out-foxed and out-thought by an algorithm. What we are witnessing is an internal power-play within the tech cartel. With its personalised algorithm, TikTok means human curiosity now takes a backseat to endless scrolling. Curiosity is no longer an active endeavour but a preordained path. In this episode, we dissect the shift in our inquisitive nature, as algorithms dictate the content we consume, rendering Google search a relics of the past. Curiosity has been commodified as we enter a digital algorithm world. Join the gang! https://plus.acast.com/s/the-david-mcwilliams-podcast. Hosted on Acast.

Ruby Hamad on the historic dehumanisation of Arabs and Muslims in the west, how that has impacted Israel's ongoing occupation and genocide in Palestine, and gaslighting as a tool for upholding Western power structures. Ruby Hamad is a Syrian-Lebanese author and academic with a journalism background. She is in the second half of a PhD in media studies at the University of New South Wales in Sydney, Australia. Her best-selling debut book WHITE TEARS/BROWN SCARS traces the role that White Womanhood and feminism have played in the development of Western power structures. The non-fiction book was inspired by her viral 2018 essay 'How White Women Use Strategic Tears to Silence Women of Colour'.

In today's episode, Mick and Clare address the riots in Dublin last week. They also talk about the blatant dehumanisation of Palestinian lives, racism and the importance of persevering.

He specialises in the study of dehumanisation and mass violence. David is the author of several award-winning books, including ‘Less Than Human: Why We Demean, Enslave and Exterminate Others' as well as ‘On Inhumanity: Dehumanization and How to Resist It'. David's most recent book that is: 'Making Monsters, The Uncanny Power of Dehumanisation'. David joined me to provide his expert opinion on dehumanisation we are witnessing as part of the ongoing war between Israel and Hamas.    Key Topics Covered: Dehumanisation and Its Roots: David delves into the psychological and social aspects of dehumanisation, explaining how it serves as a precursor to violence. Israel-Hamas Conflict: A focus on the risks and implications of dehumanisation in the ongoing war between Israel and Hamas. The Role of Fear: David discusses how politicians, particularly authoritarian ones, capitalise on fear to manipulate behaviour. Social Dynamics: The conversation touches on how social forces and community behaviour can either inhibit or encourage violence. The Power of Public Opinion: David emphasises the need for influential voices to steer public opinion towards constructive solutions.  Resources:  You can find my previous discussion with David here.

The attack by Hamas on 7 October has changed the region and the world in ways that are still yet to be completely understood. In response to the attack, which killed over 1,400 Israelis, and took 200 hostage, Israel has unleashed a brutal and indiscriminate campaign of airstrikes. So far, thousands of Palestinians have been killed. This week on The New Arab Voice, we look at Hamas' attack, why they decided to attack, what they hoped to achieve, the Israelis intelligence failings that allowed for the attack, how Israel is responding, the war crimes being committed today, and what war crimes might be committed in the future. Joining us to discuss Hamas' attack and what it means for Israel and the Israeli response in Gaza, we speak with Joost Hiltermann (@JoostHiltermann) the program director for the Middle East in North Africa, at the International Crisis Group (@CrisisGroup); and Lara Friedman (@LaraFriedmanDC) the President of the Foundation for Middle East Peace (@FMEP).You can sign up to our newsletter here.

Ground-breaking Australian research reveals why there is so much distain for road cyclists. Drivers see cyclists in lycra as less than fully human. Tom Tilley, a self confessed Mamil (middle aged male in lycra) has travelled the country speaking to cyclists, researchers and drivers in the hope of making our roads safer. Tom's report aired on Seven's Spotlight program last night. In this episode of The Briefing, Tom talks with Dr Mark Limb, a researcher from the QUT who looks at the clothes or outfits cyclists wear and how that changes the perceptions of drivers. We find out why we don't like MAMILs - and the reasons behind the dehumanisation of cyclists.   Headlines: Australians dominate in the pool at World Championships Netanyahu to undergo heart surgery as critical vote looms Greek Islands wildfires  Barbie beats Oppenheimer at opening weekend    Follow The Briefing:Instagram: @thebriefingpodcast Facebook: TheBriefingNewsAUTwitter: @TheBriefingAU  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Vedran ‘Maz' Maslic is the host of ‘The Voices Of War'. In this episode, Maz interviews David Livingstone Smith. A Professor of Philosophy at the University of New England.

Repost of my chat with David Livingstone Smith originally published on 09 Aug 2021. --- My guest today is David Livingstone Smith, who is a Professor of Philosophy at the University of New England. He has authored nine books with his more recent titles focusing on dehumanisation, race, and propaganda. His 2011 ‘Less Than Human: Why We Demean, Enslave and Exterminate Others' won the 2012 Anisfield-Wolf award for nonfiction. David's most recent book ‘On Inhumanity: Dehumanization and How to Resist It' was published by Oxford University Press in 2020, and his tenth book, ‘Making Monsters: The Uncanny Power of Dehumanization' will be published by Harvard University Press later this year. David is an interdisciplinary scholar, whose publications are cited not only by other philosophers, but also by historians, legal scholars, psychologists, and anthropologists. He has been featured in prime-time television documentaries, is often interviewed and cited in the national and international media and was a guest at the G20 economic summit in 2012. As many listeners will know, David is a leading thinker in this field, and has influenced much of our understanding of dehumanisation. We had a wide-ranging discussion and covered topics such as: David's motivation behind his research focus Race as a cultural construct The view one is ‘marinated' in, is what one perceives as ‘real' Different races vs. human variation Race vs. Ethnicity Assigning values to lives and the psychological cost of it Overcoming the resistance to killing in war Racilising and Dehumanisation as a protective mechanism in war The cost of desensitisation to killing Definition of dehumanisation Psychological, political and social dimensions of dehumanisation Why we're all vulnerable to the process of dehumanisation Dehumanisation is not a choice, but something that happens to us The power of the environment and social forces The need to assist soldiers ‘cleanse' after killing on battlefields The need to understand why atrocities in war occur The ‘Essence' of being human ‘Making Monsters' The need to face our ‘past' to understand our ‘today' If you've enjoyed this episode, I would appreciate it if you could share it and tag @thevoicesofwar so that I can say hello.

It was a pleasure to bring back one of our most popular guests to date, Dan Astin-Gregory, the founder of Elevate MEDIA and host of the Pandemic podcast.  Dan is an entrepreneur, strategist and inspirational thought leader who has impacted the lives of more than 500,000 people from over 90 different countries with his work in human potential, leadership and entrepreneurship. More recently Dan has been in the public limelight for the extensive campaigning he has done to bring us the untold story of the pandemic which has been received by over one million followers.  Despite the backlash, Dan has continually challenged the mainstream narrative and brought fascinating insights from some of the most qualified professionals across the world to challenge the global elite.  Whatever your views are around the Covid-19 narrative, I would encourage everyone to keep an open mind and question everything.  KEY TAKEAWAYS When we remove the more hysterical voices from the COVID conversation, we can begin to have dialogue that is less reactionary and more constructive. Once we give power over our lives to governments, they rarely relinquish that power without a hard fight. We must ensure that we do not trade our freedoms forever in exchange for short term benefits. The key to unifying society is not to place people into silos or boxes. We must listen with empathy and respond with understanding. The solution must come from a place of acceptance, not division. Dehumanisation is occurring in enlightened society now. We have spent generations stating that this level of discrimination will never happen again, but yet we are now experiencing a wholesale embargo upon people's beliefs and feelings. BEST MOMENTS 'There's a level of understanding that we can now garner from two years of data' 'I'm putting the foundation in place for long term change' 'These rights and freedoms are under threat and it's not temporary' 'By empathising, it helps me to gain a greater understanding of how they have come to their perspective and understanding of the world' VALUABLE RESOURCES On A Mission - https://omny.fm/shows/on-a-mission   Dan Astin Gregory Twitter - https://twitter.com/danjgregory Dan Astin Gregory - https://www.danjgregory.com/pandemic/ Dan Astin Gregory LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/danjgregory/ ABOUT THE HOST The On A Mission Podcast brings you Ellie Mckay's no holds barred chats with some of the UK's top business leaders, entrepreneurs, celebrities, athletes, top thought leaders, influencers and mindset experts. On a Mission is for unconventional thinkers that want to challenge the status quo. For all those people on a mission to live their best lives and take control of their own destiny. Ellie is a straight-talking, successful property entrepreneur who passionately believes that everyone has the power within themselves to transform their lives no matter what their situation.

In this week's episode, Dr. Yannick Veilleux-Lepage (Assistant Professor – Terrorism and Political Violence, Leiden University) and I finish our conversation on the changes taking place in today's extremism. Dr. Lepage considers the implications of transmission, replication and adoption and how they function when applied to the Manchester Arena attack. We discuss the emergence of the new tools of the terrorist trade, such as 3D printed firearms. Lastly, we discuss the prevalence of dehumanisation and possible policies predicated on re-humanisation. Join us for a deep dive into terrorism's mutation.

Dehumanisation is a prerequisite for some of the darkest things we've witnessed in our history. Slavery, genocides, torture, mass killings - just to name a few, and it's one heavy list already. Because of that, ANY time is a good time to talk about it. Although this episode was sparked by what's happening in my own country, Lithuania, in regards to asylum seekers (I've written about it in my most recent article: https://wp.me/pc6sQr-qs), it's about more than that. In my episode, I also talk about South America, about our innate humanity, and the need to allow ourselves to draw parallels between the darkest events in our history and the beginnings of something that might seem small at first. It's not a "light" topic for this Northern Hemisphere summer season, but it's an important one --- so thank you all for listening!

We're joined once again by Nights Philosopher, Ann Kerwin who takes a look at the topics explored in American philosopher David Livingstone Smith's 2020 book ON INHUMANITY: DEHUMANIZATION AND HOW TO RESIST IT.

“Dehumanisation both justifies and motivates acts of extraordinary violence - but it is not in any sense an innate disposition”Here lies the terrifying quandary: if humans are the most social of all primates and mammals, if our sociality and capacity for collaboration is at the very heart of our success as a species, how are we able to engage in such acts of hideous violence towards each other?“Dehumanisation is a psychological response to political forces”David Livingstone Smith explains how two key ideas underpin the psychology of Dehumanisation: Psychological Essentialism and Hierarchical Thinking, false heuristics that are nevertheless deeply embedded in all of us.But he goes further. To understand the depths of cruelty and humiliation, the ritualistic violence, the near-religious ecstasy of moral purpose that often comes with genocide and torture, we need to understand the mind of the Perpetrator.To the perpetrator, their victim is both human and non-human, vermin and all-powerful. More than any physical danger, the victim represents a metaphysical cognitive threat - and becomes a monster to be exterminated.“When we say ‘we must put them in their place', it's a deep idea: we want to put ‘them' in their metaphysical place”Listen to David explain:The metaphysical threat of the ‘other'The Uncanny - and its threat to our sense of purity and orderDehumanisation as psychosisWhy cruelty and humiliation are such intrinsic elements of dehumanisationWhat we can do to fix it.“We are disposed to have difficulty harming one another, and yet…”Works cited include:Arthur O.

“Dehumanisation is a psychological process, and every psychological process can be used for good or bad.”Humanisation (attributing motive and consciousness) and dehumanisation are flip sides of common cognitive processes, what Harris calls “Flexible Social Cognition”, which he has measured via fMRI scans.“I think of dehumanization much more as an everyday psychological phenomenon”Neurologically, dehumanisation is the ability to regulate one's own social cognition. We grant more ‘humanity' to our friends than the bad driver in front of us. And in certain professional contexts, dehumanising is a good thing: to small degrees, doctors do it their patients better to treat them.But thinking of dehumanisation as a scale provides a new frame through which to look at sexual objectification and the commoditisation of labour, all the way through to the Holocaust and the Slave Trade.Because while dehumanisation isn't the cause of atrocities, it is always used to justify them.“Emotions like anger and fear are much more energising when it comes to committing these human atrocities. What dehumanisation does is it allows you to justify why the behaviour has occurred…”Listen to Lasana explain:Theory of MindSocial NeuroscienceThe role of Stereotypes in cognitionThe Evolutionary reasons for “Flexible Social Cognition”And how we can fight Dehumanisation - societally, and as individuals.“We need to re-engineer our social systems”Works cited include:Dignity Takings and Dehumanization: A Social Neuroscience PerspectiveWhy Economic, Health, Legal, and Immigration Policy Should Consider DehumanizationHow social cognition can inform social decision makingRead the Full TranscriptLasana HarrisDr Lasana Harris is Senior Lecturer in Social Cognition at UCL. Lasana's research focuses on social, legal and economic decision making and how thinking about what other people are thinking affects those types of decisions.

The one where we were literally the argument against immigration into the country Emma and Nicole discuss the historical context for the mixed race identity in the UK with Dr Melissa Wagner, who studied Caribbean Studies and English with Paul Gilroy and has a PHD from Goldsmiths. She wrote her thesis on the essentialism portrayal of ‘mixed-race’ identity in the Caribbean Novel.  We discuss eugenics theories, Enoch Powell and 1960s concerns around the contamination of the white race and the threat of ‘half castes’ becoming an undesirable presence in the UK. We talk about how the divide and control strategy conceived so long ago is alive and well today and how we as mixed people are perpetually trying to find our safe space.

Thank you so much for tuning in! On today's episode I speak to Dr Suzanne Wertheim on  everything language, and specifically in terms we use it in our day to day as well as professional settings. I thought it was a very timely conversation to have, as we are starting to debate and pay more attention to the words and language we use, and the emotional and historic meaning they carry.Language is a social practice or tool that we use to communicate to each other; and it can be written, spoken, signed, 'speaking' through our eyes etc. As we communicate, one thing we often overlook is the power the language we use carries. People speak roughly 7,000 languages worldwide. Although there is a lot in common among languages, each one is unique, both in its structure and in the way it reflects the culture of the people who speak it.Our linguistic choices can amplify a message. Or they can muddy it, and lessen its impact.My today's guest is Dr Suzanne Wertheim, a researcher, consultant, and educator on issues relating to language and culture from San Francisco. The current focus of her work is on bias in both everyday interactions and organisational systems. Specifically in the ways that language expresses bias. Dr Wertheim also provides legal consulting on the language of bias and discrimination.On this episode you will hear about:1) Cultural and social impact on language engineering.2) Evolution of language and how has our intake of information changed.3) Erasure: missing historic narratives4) Media: the power of dividing & uniting5) How do we change narratives without dehumanising people?Liked the conversation?

She tells Dorian Lynskey what she learned, how there was more to the 2010s explosion in rough sleeping than just austerity… and a radical solution to homelessness: give people places to live.“From attending the funerals of homeless people I discovered how loved these people were”“Dehumanisation drives the violence which homeless people experience”Presented by Dorian Lynskey.

Welcome to Finance and Fury, The Furious Friday edition   Today we start discussing the SDGs in relation to The economy – few SDGs this relates to Go through each in detail in separate episodes – but this ep is an overview into how deep this goes. UN goals as part of Agenda 2030 – Quick list of these - SDG 8 – Decent Work and Economic Growth SDG 9 – Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure SDG 10 – Reducing Inequality SDG 12 – Responsible consumption and production SDG 17 – Partnerships for the Goals – Companies come into it Before we start breaking down each of these next episodes - Question: what do Smart Criminals do? Answer: never commit more than one major crime at a time Why? Chance of getting caught for both goes up exponentially – Similar for Gov Policy if change is made at once – if you saw the true end game of these policies – hint – another forced reindustrialisation like each of the programs done by Stalin and Mao – nobody would want this – But do it bit by bit, by bit, all through legislation that isn’t reported on – One day you wake up and even if you are a stay at home parent, you now fall under labour laws as ‘paid work’ – actually, one of the recommendations run through in another ep – Forced to work for one of the big companies as no small businesses will be left to remain as they can't compete under the circular economic models designed by the likes of Google (who is also helping design the cities as part of SDG 11) – Implementation of these – all being done separately at different times over the next 10 years – along with last 20 (MDGs) All done to change behaviours – make cultures adapt through media and education (people first) Then politically and economically   The questions that nobody asks – in a Democracy – where are the things people are asking for coming from? Does everyone wake up one day with no influences and vote for one thing? Or are our wants influenced by external forces? Listened to the last few FF eps, you know where I lean – likely on the side of influence – statistically – the probability of other is low – Historically true as well – when propaganda isn’t present – hard to have population think same things in mass Modern democracy – places like the UN are influencing people on what they want – Who doesn’t want free money? But they never then ask where does it come from? Or what is the cost? The question nobody is asking – why are we (Australia) responsible for reducing inequality in Indonesia? That is what SDG 10 wants – Global inequality Why is the UN with the IMF printing trillions per year, along with taxing Australians and using Industry super fund money in the hundreds of billions to give to counties for them to combat climate change – Foreign aid programs as well Now – under true democracy – those who don’t want Australia to suffer lower wage growth, higher taxes and higher costs of livings (energy prices) may not want these policies to fight a boogy man – with no projected outcomes for the impact on climate change or the impacts of how this will help the economy If the Greens really want to fight climate change – set up a charity – take donations to do it – My guess is that it wouldn’t get much in the way of funding needed – always wanting to use other people's money and not their own – the irony of socialist policies – needing the Government to control and enforce laws on people based around perceived moral hierarchy But the perception here is that money is unlimited – Aus has all the money in the world Only reason that people don’t want to help is they are mean and want to hurt others – The way our country and most first-world nations has been run for a while now – not working out so well - due to the frivolous government spending and getting into more debts – they need to keep interest rates low as well – while we suffer for some Global Government's agenda – Nobody voted in the UN to fix our economy – as that has to be done locally Especially when their way of fixing our economy is by reducing inequality between countries – part of SDG 10 – ‘Reduce income inequality within and among countries’ Those saying it is unfair that AUS has higher standards of living than other developing countries will have their wish come true – they will too be living on a few dollars a day if the UN gets their wish Only way to reduce inequality is through cutting everyone’s incomes down and through redistribution within borders but also across them now – Has to be done through behavioral controls and treating everyone like ants – all a cog in the wheel   We aren’t insects though - Humans are mammals – like all mammals, they work in a hierarchy – very complex one compared to other mammal groups – social-sexual hierarchy – alpha, delta, gamma, sigmas, omegas, etc. structures always going to be inequality – physically, mentally, financially – through choices within the hierarchy People think Alpha is coolest – well in tribal times – not a long-life span – died a lot protecting the group Alpha in monkeys or wolves – not just the biggest but those who care for those under them – 2 mid apes beat one big one   Our apparent alphas or leaders of society – Apparently the UN and politicians tell us they are – to trust them Do politicians care? We know about getting re-elected – and enriching themselves from taking cash in paper bags from Chinese Gov like we are seeing what seems like almost every month another politician is found out for this Would they fight for our best interest? Die like an alpha in a wolf pack? Or in tribal times? Normally send others to fight wars in their stead – so haven’t got good track records – some have provided services – some I have met I think do care – but minority and getting smaller But back to the question - How well does equality work among wolves/dog packs? Doesn’t work well as it isn’t natural But Insects are different – ants, bees – hive creates a class system – where one million deaths is a statistic Differences between classical liberalism and free markets, to communism and socialism – how humans are viewed Global Governments (communist design back in the 60s – world commie revolution) – Tried to turn a wolf pack into a colony of ants split between the queen, soldiers and then worker ants – class society We are very adaptive – so it worked – and Think we are evolved way beyond animals? We are better? What is the most popular media? Action movie – lots of violence- movies like Saw – Fake pain – what was the most popular form of entertainment just a few hundred years ago? Public executions and torture – biggest in history was mid-18th century in Paris – hundreds of thousands in 1757 – wasn’t beheading – full works – Robert-François Damiens – google paris executions 1757 if you want to know – puts game of thrones to shame people weren’t afraid by now – conditioned culturally – took popcorn - go back to Roman Days – gladiators – we just have a thin vial – just fakes – same part of brain is engaged – some cultures – public beheadings still occurring- seems normal to them – are we so different deep down? One of the most popular books and subsequent movie series – Hunger Games - kids killing each other – rip off of Japanese Battle Royal – even Arnie classic of Running man – all depict future societies where this is done – If we were born in those times – we would likely be trying to push our way to fronts of crowds like the 10s of thousands Humans are very adaptive – especially culturally – the state was doing the executions – made a spectacle – put fear into others but also make it entertaining – If society slowly shifted to hunger games- un as the capital – while the resource-based UN economic of the districts exist – we would adapt What makes us so culturally adaptable - Difference – linguistics – Storytelling – also lying and false information Animals have emotions – see my dog sulk when she gets scolded for dragging pot plants around and chewing on the trees We can be emotionally manipulated through linguistics – what separates us from animals can put us back to insects – Economically – controlled through emotions and rhetorical statements – fairness – well – politicians take life long pensions of salary from taxpayers – is that fair? Julia Gillard gets about $500k a year on top of whatever salary she is getting - is that fair? Important to remember – government shouldn’t be involved in economics to the extent there are – beyond any rational controls – it is just population and behaviours controls disguised as economics Thaler and Sunstein – Behaviours economics – coined ‘choice architecture’ – like book title of Nudge – know how to manipulate people through choice architecture = get people to join 401k plans in the USA from 30% to over 90% from opting in to opting out – same thing can be done on masses to the population without you knowing it We are social creates – want to fit in – so when everyone is crying for equality (or we think that they are) as the media misrepresents the masses – we will follow the minority and that becomes a voting majority after a while – things take times Trouble is with humans – are adaptive – adapt to behavioural controls and revolt – UN tries to treat people like ants - but we aren’t – But they still try – but very slowly – still - while they can never be truly successful long term – still annoying keep trying and what society looks like when one controlling government gets the way – look at the socialism/communism eps I have gone through for how that happens and the situations that create cannibalism Still, they try – one bit of legislation over time – Never commit more than one criminal act at a time if you are smart – dumb criminals go rob a car, steal more stuff, go on a crime spree and are caught – and charged for all   Why it is so hard to actually put this series together? - so much to research and try to fit into episodes – thanks for having patience But the plan for the UN in regards to reforming and reindustrialising the world economy is to create a class of insects All class based – but very clearly disguised in pages of legislation – Why race is being so popularised – to distract from the classes – but eventually people adapt – the term nazi or racist or fascist lose their power – Middle class is shrinking – American middle class is now the minority – amazing stat – same around 1st world countries You know the one thing that every society that has had torture and executions on display has to do with one another? Worked under Monachal/dictator societies with classes – where people are treated like ants Even Rome – wasn’t until under empire rule and dictators like Nero or Caligula that things got crazy But giving the people what they grew accustom too – when the last guy has 300 lions in one day, you want 400 But the more control – quicker until society and empires collapse – humans are hierarchical – break out of the ant models eventually What allowed people to watch these events? Dehumanisation – when a group is dehumanised/made the enemy – people justify atrocities being carried out UN today - Told where to live, what they can eat, what they can buy and at what price, where they work, how many kids they have – that is exactly what is in the SDGs Groups that don’t do it – dehumanised – anyone who has read how Pol Pot, or any other dictator like Stalin and his 25,000ers acted towards the others – know what I am talking about But UN SDGs - These are all population control mechanisms – people are adaptive and change behaviours to legislative policy – Due to enforcement or coercion – also – chance in a group to dehumanise another What we will look at over the next few eps – The methods of legislation that leave little choice in anything you can do Episodes to run through over next few weeks in FF SDG 8 – Decent Work and Economic Growth core is to try keep the debt-based economy going – SDRs spending massive amounts of money on the next great social program – some referred to it as the great leap forward – create higher inflation again, then inflate the current debts away over time – also is the next step in a one-world currency – if they gain legitimacy and become the global reserve currency like China and Russia want Growth driven by debt – FDR style Also helping to fuel growth through marginal increases in consumption and property growth Also - Create further urbanisation – cities grow while rural shrink (% of population) – population growth from immigration Joins up with SDG11 – go through in next section on cities, mobility, and energy SDG 9 – Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure Next is to drive growth through reindustrialisation – global infrastructure works and climate change action – Run through the use of pension funds for infrastructure spending and the mass employment for the reindustrialisation Build to rent is part of this SDG 10 – Reducing Inequality Look at how increasing ‘aid’ for trade – sending money from Australia to developing countries so they can start to outcompete us – go through how David Ricardo theory of comparative advantage fails when tech and capital move to labour countries = they have complete advantages – we used to have Tech and Cap, but not in global economy SDG 12 – Responsible consumption and production Circular economy – how what we are allowed to buy and who can produce it will be controlled by meeting quotas and standards set by the UN – Ties into the last part of the economy of Partnerships SDG 17 – Partnerships for the Goals – Companies come into it – ones providing these recommendations – e.g. KPMG cashless The next part is to merge Governments and companies – Fascism 101 – but only approved companies – create a completely controlled economy – Then look at how this would destroy domestic competition to smaller companies – Especially in developing or 3rd world countries – interesting transition of any economy out of poverty – that is cloth and textile production – big claim – so deserves its own ep – but all 1st world or developing nations have followed similar trends over past 500 years – China/Vietnam more recently – so having the ability to limit this with ‘flooding Africa’ with our good will bins put them out of any chance of economic upwards mobility I know that if you personally haven’t read the SDGs in a lot of detail - is a big claim – May think this is a cynical outlook – only cynical cause what has been done isn’t working, so different approach is needed – MDGs now SDGs Im Actually optimistic – more this becomes part of the public knowledge the sooner as a population Politician’s capitulate to the voters and move away from the track they are on – which will be covered in upcoming eps Appreciate it if you could share this around – help to at least see another side to this plan – like what was people were sold in Das Capital – sounds good in theory but the application and how of the what can truly turn out to be hell Thanks for listening, if you want to get in contact you can here.

Human brains are, quite simply, one of the most astounding things in the cosmos. They've written the works of Shakespeare, composed the lyrics to most Tool songs, and put people on the moon! But they've also got... some terrible loopholes. In particular, there's a bizarre loophole in our brains where we can decide if someone we don't like ... isn't really human. And then, we can do awful things to them (sad face emoji). Dehumanisation is a terrible process that has lead to many terrible things - the perfect thing for a Wholesome Explore!

The Nazis considered Jews an inferior race, and they expressed this in their language and in the treatment of Jews. Jewish possessions were stolen and social ties were severed. Entertainment and sports were forbidden for Jews. If perpetrators do not see their victims as human beings, they find it less difficult to kill them. Jews were taken to the death camps in cattle and freight wagons, and the Nazis were not the least bit ashamed; they even recorded the deportations on film.

The Spanish Civil War of 1936-39 inspired artists, writers and filmmakers at home and abroad to make work in support of the struggle against fascism and, in some cases, to fight for the Spanish Republic. This week, Juliet talks to writer/translator Lara Alonso Corona about the various reactions to the war, General Franco's victory and consolidation of fascist power in Spain, from before the conflict began in July 1936 to the present.

 "Dehumanisation is the essential program of the radical right." David Neiwert believes that the so-called “alt-right” of right-wing populists in America has been born of a toxic mix of factors: mainstream conservatives unifying with the racist far-right; a young, media-savvy generation of online white supremacists, and forces in the right-wing media feeding hostility. Throw in the historical strains of xenophobia, racism, misogyny and resentment, and you've got yourself a cultural phenomenon. David Neiwert, author of Alt-America: the Rise of the Radical Right in the Age of Trump, examines the growth of extremist groups, their influence on Trump politics, and how we can work for positive change in a world that trades on sensationalism. He was with The New York Times Australian bureau chief, Damian Cave at ANTIDOTE 2018. Watch David in Fringe-Dwellers and Fanatics.  

One thing we all seem to agree on is that empathy is an unmitigated good. But what if we are wrong? Might some forms of empathy actually be dangerous for society, biasing preferences towards those that look like us, or even those we find attractive? And even when our closest companions are in pain, is ‘feeling what they feel’ really the best way to help? Are horrific acts of cruelty made palatable by dehumanising the victims, or is the truth actually much worse? And how can social media turn do-gooders into deliverers of unlimited vengeance? Paul Bloom takes Igor and Charles for a walk on the dark side, exploring the treacherous hidden terrain of empathy, harmless torturers, aggregate cruelty and third-party punishment. Igor calls for tech companies to start hiring moral philosophers, Paul raises moral objections to loving your own children, and Charles has his mind blown and heart crushed by a revelatory, yet even darker, interpretation of human cruelty. Welcome to Episode 8. Special Guest: Paul Bloom.
