Return to nature to heal… that's one of the major messages in this unencumbered and evolutionary conversation with Dr. Zach Bush. Zach Bush, MD is a renowned, multi-disciplinary physician of internal medicine, endocrinology, hospice care and internationally recognized educator on the microbiome as it relates to human health, soil health, food systems, and a regenerative future. Zach joins Debra and covers a vast array of subjects; from our unawareness of the faults in the American food system to the sixth extinction to microbiomes to the importance of reconnecting to nature and its integral part in our healing and future. This conversation is interwoven with the radically different and futuristic visions that are absolutely achievable, broken down by Zach's Aquarius Rising. Debra walks through Zach's Astrological chart and details the placements that point to Zach's mindset, his purpose, and a specific message from the Divine. Zach and Debra take us through so many important subjects and questions for ourselves like, “What is our co-creative role in creating with the Divine?” This is not an episode to miss as the roads Zach and Debra traverse in conversation ultimately lead to what they have dubbed our next pandemic of falling in love… Find more information on Dr. Zach Bush at www.zachbushmd.com.

The Earth's climate is changing, and people all over the world are affected by it in some way or another. Climate change poses a huge threat to economies, compels death and various diseases, and prompts conflict between peoples as one geopolitical issue would be able to affect food security. Due to these grim forecasts, many countries around the world have come together to try and find ways to fight against climate change. Five indications that climate change is real: 1) The climate change phenomenon will speed up the production and disappearance of air pollutants, increase the number of allergies, and affect people's metabolisms. 2) Major crops, such as beans and corn, will experience and endure a significant decrease in growth rates due to scarce water availability. 3) Ocean life threatened. Coral reefs are drowned by sea-level rise and no longer get sunlight on their smaller, lower parts. 4) Heat waves in many regions have influenced mortality rates concurrent with climate change. 5) Nepal has already been severely affected by hotter days, leading to more food scarcity, unemployment, and lost income. Earth belongs to all species on planet, and humans cannot think we own it. Human's dominance of the earth and climate change are affecting the planet's balance. Humans have changed the climate by burning fossil fuels, industrialising forests, breeding greenhouse gases from exhausts, etc. We're joined by Jeff, an environmentalist, film maker, and climate change activist, to talk about how the world is changing due to the climate crisis the world faces and how we can take immediate action to start to reverse the effects of the changing climate. 00:00 Introduction 2:13 Jeff's chart: Sun - Aquarious, Moon - virgo, raising - gemini 3:07 Climate change: Acting on objective rational data 5:41 Can we reverse the effects of climate change? 11:48 What systems do we need in place to manage the climate crisis 16:32 Our Earth needs time to heal 19:15 What can we do to change the trajectory of the climate crisis 27:12 What will it take to leave less of an impact on the environment 34:29 What's next for Jeff? 37:43 What is our ost vulnerable resource 50:09 Closing thoughts Connect with Jeff Orlowski: Website: http://www.jefforlowski.com/ IMDb: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm2341611/ Connect Debra Silverman: Website: https://debrasilvermanastrology.com/life-changing-transformations/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/debrasilverman_astrology/?hl=en Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/eleventhhouse YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/silvermanastrology TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@debrasilvermanastrology
Comentamos sobre la película "Dilema Social" de Jeff Orlowski.
Más de un año después de su estreno y por ninguna razón en particular, nos dieron ganas de hablar sobre «El dilema de las redes sociales». Así que en este episodio jugamos al cineclub. Primero hacemos un resumen para los que no lo recuerdan o no lo han visto y luego discutimos sobre los argumentos (un poco exagerados) que presenta esta producción.

Si quieres unirte a este grupo tan genial, visita: www.cosasdeinternet.fm/mecenas Notas del episodio: «El dilema de las redes sociales» o «The Social Dilemma», se estrenó en Netflix en septiembre del 2020. Pero la premier ocurrió en febrero del 2020 en el Festival de Cine de Sundance. En la producción entrevistan más de 20 expertos y esas voces narran el hilo argumentativo. Uno de los protagonistas es Tristan Harris, acá una charla de TED suya (bien puede ser que de ahí sacaron la idea para la dramatización de la consola de control). En esta charla organizada por Google, Jeff Orlowski explica su decisión de incluir dramatizaciones en «El dilema de las redes sociales». La efectividad de los anuncios en Facebook, en promedio, no supera el 1% de CTR. Luego de que una trabajadora de Facebook compartiera miles de páginas de información sobre la compañía, el Washington Post publicó la investigación «The Facebook Files» donde profundizan en las implicaciones de esa información. En este artículo de El País aparece un resumen de la historia de la soplona de Facebook: «Facebook admite en documentos internos que Instagram es tóxico para muchas adolescentes». Y esta fue la respuesta de Mark Zuckerberg. El estudio que menciona Santi, donde se examina si hay o no un vínculo entre la salud mental y las redes sociales se llama «The Longitudinal Association Between Social-Media Use and Depressive Symptoms Among Adolescents and Young Adults: An Empirical Reply to Twenge et al.» Y ese estudio es una respuesta a este otro estudio que sí afirma una conexión. Más cosas de salud mental: «Problematic Social Networking Site Use and Comorbid Psychiatric Disorders: A Systematic Review of Recent Large-Scale Studies». Según este reporte de la OECD, la tasa mundial de suicidios en adolescentes de 15 a 19 años ha bajado —ligeramente— en las últimas dos décadas. Vox publica que nadie sabe la causa del aumento de suicidios de mujeres adolescentes en Estados Unidos: «Teens are increasingly depressed, anxious, and suicidal. How can we help?». Este artículo académico muestra la confusión que hay en estudios de salud mental con relación a las redes sociales. Hay hallazgos de todo tipo: «Social Media Use and Its Connection to Mental Health: A Systematic Review». Cuando este documental lanzó, nosotros acabábamos de publicar «Tranqui, Internet dice que tienes la razón», nuestro episodio sobre polarización en línea.
How do you make a film that impacts more than 100 million people in 190 countries in 30 languages?This week on Your Undivided Attention, we're going behind the curtain on The Social Dilemma — the Netflix documentary about the dark consequences of the social media business model, which featured the Center for Humane Technology. On the heels of the film's 1-year anniversary and winning of 2 Emmy Awards, we're talking with Exposure Labs' Director Jeff Orlowski and Producer Larissa Rhodes. What moved Jeff and Larissa to shift their focus from climate change to social media? How did the film transform countless lives, including ours and possibly yours? What might we do differently if we were producing the film today? Join us as we explore the reverberations of The Social Dilemma — which we're still feeling the effects of over one year later.
//the social dilemma from director Jeff Orlowski had over 38 million views in the first month after release, the second ever for a documentary, and was nominated for 7 Emmy Awards in 2021. Why did this film generate such an immediate reaction and great accolades?

Technology has changed the way we think and interact with one another, and social media platforms are intentionally engineered to be addictive and manipulative. Those messages are in the documentary "The Social Dilemma," which was created by Jeff Orlowski's filmmaking company Exposure Labs. "Big social," says Orlowski, is transforming our information ecosystem. He tells Vivian Schiller, executive director of Aspen Digital, that an unregulated social media landscape cannot co-exist with a healthy, functioning democracy. Orlowski's team is also behind the climate change films "Chasing Ice" and "Chasing Coral."
In his chilling Netflix documentary The Social Dilemma, Sundance award-winning filmmaker Jeff Orlowski (Chasing Ice and Chasing Coral) sounds the alarm about the insidious effects of social media and its potentially devastating consequences for society. Using a range of documentary and fiction techniques, Jeff argues that tech's attention extraction model is the “Frankenstein's Monster” of our time. How did Jeff crack the code of telling this story in a compelling way that would make visible social media companies' use of A.I. to prey upon all of us? And what was it like to direct actor Vincent Kartheiser (Mad Men) playing three versions of himself? Things get personal when Mike confronts his own “dilemma” as someone who has used “growth hacking” in his work, and we ask Jeff, “What apps are still on your phone?” Jeff's activist site supporting the move: thesocialdilemma.com You can follow us @topdocspod Other Films by Jeff: Chasing Ice Chasing Coral Hidden Gem: Baraka Also Mentioned in the Pod: Center for Humane Technology The Big Short Vincent Kartheiser and Mad Men Citizen Kane Sundance Film Festival Yesterbox Frankenstein Sophocles' Antigone Growth Hacking Mirror Neurons A/B Testing Hippocratic Oath Section 230 Woz and Jobs

We plainly pay attention, using the finite currency of time and energy issued in the 24-hour increments that add up to a life - well spent? We have choices and constraints about how we allocate our attention, and today's world competes fiercely for it in unprecedented ways. No wonder, for power is the ability to command or hijack attention, even if it warps reality with untruths. Jung particularly valued the attentional dimension of “dreaming, or fantasy-thinking” experienced in reverie, dreams, and creativity. And like mothers, lovers, and psychotherapists, we can give others the unconditional attention that brings soul into being. All we have to do is practice paying attention to what we pay attention to. Here's the dream we analyze: “A large lesbian woman, Sally, has four adopted boys. Their home is the top floor of a brick industrial building (like a power station) in the shape of a square, with a quad in the middle. They are visited by Kirsty and Phil (hosts of British TV shows about property/home improvement), and the first room they visit floods with seawater as the tide rises and falls, leaving tide marks on the furniture. One of the boys (aged 9) insists that the room is not fit for purpose and tugs on the sleeves of the adults, but Sally says it is OK. The other boy runs around like he has ADHD. As they move around the building, Kirsty and Phil discover all kinds of problems. There is an industrial kitchen covered in grease and grime. The roof leaks and the home isn't warm or protected. In the one habitable room, two boys (one black, one white) are stored in a Walls ice cream freezer. Kirsty and Phil worry that the freezer is on, but they touch it and think it is off. The boys both have their eyes open. Kirsty and Phil realize that their cheerful, anything-is-possible attitude won't work this time. They don't sugarcoat things for Sally, telling her that the building is condemned and they need to move. They suggest that she sell at a loss. Sally nearly argues with them: she is angry and feels betrayed, but then she comes ‘round. Sally is a life skills coach, and Kirsty and Phil ask her for a session, which she says she will provide for free, but they want to pay her in full. This will allow Sally to recoup her losses and find another property. The 9-year-old anxious boy should have been listened to.” REFERENCES: Marzel, Charlie, “I Talked to the Cassandra of the Internet Age.” The New York Times, 4 February 2021 by Charlie Warzel. https://www.nytimes.com/2021/02/04/opinion/michael-goldhaber-internet.html The Social Dilemma.

What is up everyone and welcome back to my podcast—You're Doing A Good Job.My intention with this podcast is to dive deep and explore what it looks like to expand our lives—consciously. Because when we expand our lives—consciously, we become more emotionally aware, present and connected people and when we become more emotionally aware, present and connected—we win.Our relationships win. Our self-worth wins. Our sense of purpose wins. And most importantly, our mental health and emotional wellness, win.Now if you follow me on social media or if you know anything about my story, then you'll know that mental health and emotional wellness are a big part of my journey. I often talk about how I did reach my dreams of playing in the NFL but I lost myself in the process. And after years of healing and redefining that season of my life it is a passion of mine to share a message and help facilitate brave conversations around how we can begin to integrate our mental fortitude, and determination to expand our lives with the power of vulnerability and emotional skills.Because when we live more consciously aware and integrated, we unlock our lives—physically, emotionally, financially and relationally.Just recently, I had the chance to read How To Raise An Adult, by Julie Lythcott-Haims and as I was reading this book, I was overwhelmed in the best of ways. Truthfully, up until reading this book, I never directly correlated the mental health challenges that I experienced as a young adult to the direct effects of being over-parented as a child. It was eye opening to me in so many ways.Not only that, but as I was reading this book I could feel it deep in my bones that I would naturally want to over-parent, despite knowing the damaging long term effects it could have on a child and that's when I knew I had to have Julie on my podcast to talk more about her research on over-parenting and her book.This podcast episode with Julie is full of deep wisdom but make no mistake, it will challenge you. So if you're ready to lean into your edges of growth as a person and as a parent, you're going to love this episode.On this episode of You're Doing A Good Job, we dive deep into:What is over parenting and how and when did it originateWe also talk about what's really going on behind the need to over-parent and what you should do about itWe talk about my story around being over-parented and how it impacted my lifeWe talk about the importance of redefining success as a parent and where to draw the line between making decisions for your children and giving them the space to forge their own paths in life.I promise you, you're going to walk away with so much from this episode. Julie is one of a kind and not only does she know what she's talking about, but she's full compassion and empathy.-About Julie Lythcott-Haims:Julie believes in humans and is deeply interested in what gets in our way. She is the New York Times bestselling author of the anti-helicopter parenting manifesto How to Raise an Adult which gave rise to a TED Talk that has more than 5 million views. Her second book is the critically-acclaimed and award-winning prose poetry memoir Real American, which illustrates her experience as a Black and biracial person in white spaces. A third book, Your Turn: How to Be an Adult, is out now.Julie is a former corporate lawyer and Stanford dean, and she holds a Bachelor of Arts from Stanford, a JD degree from Harvard, and a Master of Fine Arts, MFA, in Writing from California College of the Arts. She serves on the board of Common Sense Media, and on the advisory board of LeanIn.Org, and she is a former board member at Foundation for a College Education, Global Citizen Year, The Writers Grotto, and Challenge Success. She volunteers with the hospital program No One Dies Alone.She lives in the San Francisco Bay Area with her partner of over thirty years, their itinerant young adults, and her mother.Lastly, before we dive into this podcast, can I ask a big favor? If you find this episode useful in any way, it would mean the world to me if you left a review on my podcast as well as share this episode with one friend that you might think would benefit from it. That would be so so helpful.Connect with Julie on Instagram, here.Connect with Caleb on Instagram, here.Also, a BIG thanks to Jeff Orlowski and the cover art for this podcast.

On this podcast, we will dive deep and explore what it looks like to expand our lives—consciously. Because when we expand our lives—consciously, we become more emotionally aware, present and connected people and when we become more emotionally aware, present and connected—we win.Our relationships win. Our self-worth wins. Our sense of purpose wins. And most importantly, our mental health and emotional wellness, win.As you might know, and if you don't, it's important to note that the first season of this podcast is dedicated to the parents of high achieving students.And I'm so excited about this episode because I recently had the chance to sit down and talk with JC Pohl. And the thing is, JC isn't just a guest, but a friend. Over the last few years, I've had the chance to partner with JC and see first hand the incredible work that he is doing with students, teachers, and even parents all around America. And, I can't wait for you to hear what he has to say.On this episode of You're Doing A Good Job, we dive deep into what it looks like and the proven tactics that can help you build resilient students from the inside out.We talk about the importance of taking ownership as parents and as we begin to recognize that students model what they are taught—directly or indirectly.JC also talks about, and this part I loved, but he talks about when we need to show up as a parent, or as a consultant and why that's important when it comes to building resilience.He talks about the importance of the word “wonder” which I found incredibly useful even in my own life.And towards the end of the podcast, JC does such a great job at describing the difference between self-esteem and self efficacy and why that is important.And lastly, we dive into what it looks like to create the safe space that is needed to have hard and brave conversations.If you don't know, JC Pohl is an award-winning producer, nationally recognized speaker, and certified counselor who has reached over 10 million people with his efforts to build school culture and empower student voice. He has produced groundbreaking programs such as TEEN TRUTH and RISING UP, and award-winning content for companies such as Warner Brothers, ESPN, and Disney.

Qu’on se le dise, en cette fin d’année 2020, l’Union européenne souhaite organiser son espace numérique. Vous me direz, il était temps. Mais comme dit l’adage, mieux vaut tard que jamais. En tous les cas pour Thierry Breton, le commissaire français de la Commission européenne, « le temps est venu ». Le texte sera donc présenté dans les tous prochains jours. Il faut dire que la période à encore renforcer les géants du numérique. La puissance cumulée des GAFAM, Google, Amazon, Facebook, Apple et Microsoft devient vertigineuse. Oui. Une puissance vertigineuse. Celle-ci a de quoi inquiéter. Pour s’en convaincre, nous devrions tous regarder le documentaire intitulé : « Derrière nos écrans de fumée » « The social Dilemma », en ligne sur Netflix. Il décortique de manière terrifiante l’envers du décor des algorithmes qui les nourrissent. Jeff Orlowski met les pieds dans le plat : « désinformation, addictions, surveillance de masse, le réalisateur montre, démontre comment nous sommes tous tombés dans les mailles des géants américains. On nous l’avait dit, quand c’est gratuit, c’est que nous étions les produits. Sauf que cette fois, c’est argumenté. Les géants du numérique sont arrivés à pas de loup, puis une fois tous pris dans le filet, ils nous ont inondés de publicité. Le piège s’est refermé. L’addiction aux réseaux sociaux semble devenir une question de santé publique. Une génération, la génération Z est tout particulièrement impactée. Oui. La recherche commence à s’y intéresser. La hausse des suicides de jeunes adolescentes interpelle. Le harcèlement, le narcissisme exacerbé de nos sociétés interroge. Jeff Orlowski fait appel aux cracks repentis de l’internet. Ils s’expliquent. Ils racontent. Le monstre qu’il décrive de l’intérieur leur a échappé des mains. La perte de contrôle est totale. L’Europe cherche donc de premières régulations. Sur quels aspects, cela pourrait porter en priorité ? Deux aspects. Le premier concerne la sacro-sainte concurrence. Sans aller jusqu’au démantèlement forcé, l’Europe souhaite se munir des dispositifs de régulation qui permettraient d’alourdir significativement les sanctions puis de sévir. Enfin, sur les contenus cette fois. Si les géants du numérique ne sont pas responsables de toutes les bassesses humaines qui sont publiées chaque seconde sur la toile, ils seront désormais comptables de la veille, des signalements et du nettoyage. C’est peu dire qu’il y a du travail. Mais enfin, ils en ont tous les moyens. L’argent ne manque pas en effet. La crise Covid accroît même les gains. L’Europe a-t-elle encore une chance de peser ? Telle est la question. A la vérité, nous sommes devant un test existentiel pour l’Union européenne. On le voit avec Amazon et le commerce de proximité, avec Google et le financement de la presse écrite, les enjeux sont immenses. Ce n’est pas seulement l’Union européenne qui est face à un dilemme. Ce sont tous les européens. Nous tous. Le numérique est devenu l’apha et l’oméga de nos sociétés ; C’est le sang de nos organismes économiques, sociaux et humains. Le succès populaire inviterait à laisser les acteurs jouir de leur pouvoir. Sauf que déjà, notre dépendance, pour ne pas parler de soumission pose d’immenses questions. Les européens sont devant un sacré dilemme. Un dilemme historique 2.O.
The Social Dilemma, directed by Jeff Orlowski, explores the dangerous human impact of social networking, with tech experts sounding the alarm on their own creations. Erik and JJ provide an overview of the film and share their perspectives on some of the conclusions that the film draws. Erik shares his experience as a student of BJ Fogg’s class, which is heavily referenced in the film, and how behavior design and behavior change is programmed into new products. JJ provides Microsoft’s perspective on using AI in a responsible way, protecting user privacy, and how the tech industry should work with policy makers to ensure innovation is protected, but not at the cost of fundamental human rights. The hosts also discuss what users can do to protect their data, habits users should develop to better control who has access to their information, and discuss whether the techniques that can be destructive when used in the mode of optimizing for surveillance capitalism can be used to improve technology user’s lives. The Social Dilemma is streaming on Netflix.
The Social Dilemma is a 2020 American docudrama film directed by Jeff Orlowski and written by Orlowski, Davis Coombe, and Vickie Curtis. It explores the rise of social media and the damage it has caused to society, focusing on its exploitation of its users for financial gain through surveillance capitalism and data mining, how its design is meant to nurture an addiction, its use in politics, its effect on mental health (including the mental health of adolescents and rising teen suicide rates), and its role in spreading conspiracy theories such as Pizzagate and aiding groups such as flat-earthers.

Victoria has been electrified by the prospect that politicians and public servants from the Premier down could be charged and even jailed for deaths attributable to the Hotel Quarantine fiasco, under tendentious new industrial manslaughter laws only recently enacted by the Andrews Government. Governments must be held to account, but is this the job of the courts, or Parliaments and voters? If we start jailing politicians for incompetence, where will it end? (33:25-44:59). Scott Hargreaves and Chris Berg are joined by Research Fellow Morgan Begg to discuss this and also the litany of civil rights violations justified in the name of pandemic. Where have been the institutions meant to defend our freedoms, and what precedent does this rampant State create for our future? (1:50-17:59). The latest concern in Victoria is an “Omnibus Bill”, allowing government appointed ‘authorised officers' to arrest and detain individuals just on the suspicion of intent to break rules. Is this necessary or just a left-wing Government's adaption the Police State/‘law and order' playbook formerly used by the right? (18:00-33:25). Culture picks this week include the new Netflix film, Enola Holmes by Harry Bradbeer; Karl Ove Knausgaard's book on Edvard Munch, So Much Longing in So Little Space; and a Netflix documentary by Jeff Orlowski, The Social Dilemma (44:59-1:04:55).

Coral reefs are the nursery for all life in the oceans, a remarkable ecosystem that sustains us. Yet with carbon emissions warming the seas, a phenomenon called “coral bleaching”—a sign of mass coral death—has been accelerating around the world, and the public has no idea of the scale or implication of the catastrophe silently raging underwater. Directed by Jeff Orlowski, CHASING CORAL taps into the collective will and wisdom of an ad man, a self-proclaimed coral nerd, top-notch camera designers, and renowned marine biologists as they invent the first time-lapse camera to record bleaching events as they happen. The effort is anything but simple, and the team battles technical malfunctions and the force of nature in pursuit of their golden fleece: documenting the indisputable and tragic transformation below the waves. With its breathtaking photography, nail-biting suspense, and startling emotion, CHASING CORAL is a dramatic revelation that won't have audiences sitting idle for long.
