NITROPLASTOS: LA COOPERACIÓN COMO CLAVE PARA LA VIDA Durante este mes, se ha dado a conocer una nueva estructura celular, el organelo NITROPLASTO. Esta estructura saca a la palestra la pionera teoría de la endosimbiosis de la científica Lynn Margulis, que propone que estructuras cómo mitocondrias y cloroplastos habrían sido bacterias que evolucionaron al interior de otros organismos. De esta manera, la vida y la evolución se daría gracias a la cooperación entre los seres vivos y no a la competencia. Sergio Villagrán, Biólogo y Comunicador científico

Today's episode features: Lynn Margulis, Evolutionary Biologist Sponsored by ⁠⁠⁠2 Complicated 4 History⁠⁠⁠ Produced by ⁠Primary Source Media⁠

In the late 1970's, English chemist Dr. James Lovelock and American biologist Dr. Lynn Margulis published a research paper hypothesizing that living organisms – without intention or agency – could have a regulatory effect on their environment that helped ensure their continued habitability. While the Gaia hypothesis they originated has remained controversial for the last four decades, it has provided a provocative explanation for why the Earth remained more or less clement over its ~4 billion year history, even though the sun that warms it has grown about 30% brighter over that time span. Of course, there have been notable catastrophic exceptions to Earth's habitable stability – in the form of cataclysmic Snowball Earth events that froze the entire planet at least twice in its first 3.5 billion years of existence.  In our latest episode, Probable Futures founder Spencer Glendon explores another application of the Gaia Hypothesis, as it applies to human civilizations. In a December 2023 newsletter, Mr. Glendon examines how for much of the last 12,000 years, humans have been agents in shaping the stable global climate from which we are a beneficiary, through the expansion of agriculture and its related deforestation. By releasing CO2 at rates that balanced the cooling effects of various planetary orbital shifts, humans helped avoid the planet plunging into another Ice Age. But, much like the Snowball Earth events of the Precambrian Era, the advent and acceleration of fossil fuel combustion then shifted people's relationship with climate from stabilizing to potentially catastrophic. The difference between the ancient and modern examples is that now – with awareness of the problem – humans can impact their environment with intention and agency. Join us as we examine how past climate stability has shaped much of humanity's world view, and how that might impact our approach in responding to climate change now.  Follow us on Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook, and Instagram.Contact us at contact@climatenow.comVisit our website for all of our content and sources for each episode.

In this episode, Susan Mathews narrates an eccentric story of fire, an intangible and odd element. She begins with lines from William Blake's “The Tyger”, which invites us to partake of creation and the paradoxes of the divine, with an equal measure of wonder and terror evoked through fire. But fire is more than just combustion and volatility, a chemical reaction or an ecological stimulus. The history of fire and the history of life are twin flames. Lynn Margulis and Dorion Sagan write in their wonderful book What is Life? that one answer to the titular question is that life is the transmutation of sunlight. It is the sun become the green fire of photosynthesizing beings, the natural seductiveness of flowers and the warmth of the tiger stalking the jungle in the dead of night. The character of burning over deep time is one with twists and turns. It started with a spark of lightning but for fire to become a planetary force, it needed oxygen and fuel. Stephen Pyne, a prolific historian of fire and the first guest in this podcast season, outlines three fires. Plants set ablaze by lightning were the first, humans aiding and abetting fire the second and the third fire is where humans  burn lithic landscapes. No longer bounded by season, sun or natural rhythms, this fire without limits made us geological agents. It is also a fire of empire and slavery, of loss and destruction. From a celestial and originary green fire we now see terrifying red plumes and a rising blue fire of the  oceans. The world is out of pyric balance. So how do we rewrite this story? In the second half of this episode, Susan introduces some exciting ideas that help us think through fire differently, starting with the myth of Prometheus. In this tale, the role of Pandora is often ignored, downplayed, or forgotten. Elissa Marder, in an article entitled Pandora's Fireworks describes Pandora, created out of clay and water, as a kind of counterfire (anti puros), a technological counterpart to divine fire. Pandora establishes the defining limits of the human and reminds us of our connection with the rest of the biosphere. From Pandora's pyrotechnics, we move to the ‘pyrosexual', a term she borrows from the work of Nigel Clark and Kathryn Yusoff in their article titled Queer Fire: Ecology, Combustion and Pyrosexual Desire. Clark and Yusuff peel back the metaphors of fire and sex and suggest instead a deep, conjoint history of sexual desire and fiery consummation. By contextualizing the ‘pyrosexual' within the wider economy of earth and cosmos, they seek ways to escape industrial capitalism's current hyperconsumptive cycles of accumulation. They remind us that plants are sexual beings and challenge more ‘orthodox' environmentalisms that curb desire and renouncing of pleasure. Fire being a boundary between biologic life and inhuman materialities, it offers a track that restructures the asexual-sexual binary with lateral forms of agency and modes of desire. What else, they ask, can we do with a planet of fire? Susan ends with a tribute to Alexis Pauline Gumbs, a poet and writer who inspired much of Season 2 on water and this one on fire. In a powerful piece published in Harper's Bazaar this year, she writes that menopause is a powerful lens through which to look at this hot planetary crisis. Apart from the similarities, such as planetary hot flashes caused by toxic environments, menopause is also a liminal space of possibility.

After Carl Sagan's first divorce, from biologist Lynn Margulis, he was to find love again. And, in a massive betrayal, yet again. Look, the guy indisputably made big contributions to science and the public's understanding of it, but his personal life was a mess!

Astronomer Carl Sagan was an ever-present voice in American culture for several decades in the latter half of the 20th century, sometimes commenting on topics far beyond the scope of his space science training. If you think that suggests some ego, you would be right, and that attribute or character flaw (depending on your perspective) certainly impacted his ability to enjoy happy marriages. In this first of a two-part story, we get into Carl's background and his first marriage, to pioneering biologist Lynn Margulis.

"Why plant a garden when you can put plants to work for you in your own body?" This is one of the mind bending questions Lynn Margulis, one of the greatest cross-disciplinary scientific thinkers and educators of our epoch, asks. Margulis, ethnobotanist Wade Davis and mycologist Paul Stamets weave tales of amazing plant intelligence like the "Hat Thrower Mushroom" and animals that eat light.

Una de las científicas más importantes en el campo de la evolución biológica... y sí, tampoco nadie nos habló de ella en la escuela. Se enfrentó a una bola de señores científicos que creían en Darwin ciegamente o creían que tenían toda la verdad con ellos. Y ella les calló la boca. No porque Darwin estuviera mal en todo, sino que en las llamadas "mutaciones" se quedó corto, y sus neo-darwinistas ya no quisieron ir más allá. Pero gracias a ella y a que no se les dejó, conocemos las células eucariotas y ahora sí sabemos cómo se transmiten y cambian las características biológicas de los seres vivos.

My guest today joins me for a 2nd time here on “DITD”. He is filmmaker John Feldman. I first met John when I discovered his film Symbiotic Earth about the renowned , unknown to the public, scientist Lynn Margulis. A wonderful film. Now he is out with his latest film. “Regenerating Life”. A three part documentary that highlights the importance of biodiversity and natural ecosystems in regulating the climate. The poem that follows, "Mama Nature," is written and performed by Naima Penniman

You might want to take a walk with this one. It is big and full of brain food and an enlivening opening of imagination to possibilities that are emergent now: the notion of the “broad commonwealth of life” that we are “inextricably entangled with and suffused by”; the paradox that the more accurately you try to measure some things, the more unmeasurable they become; the way words we use all the time have kept our cellular belonging to the natural world alive, even as civilization forgot. The technologist/artist James Bridle brings all of this into interplay with an intriguing, refreshing lens on our lives with technology — and with all that artificial intelligence is and might become.You might not think of intelligence the same way again, or the truth of mythology, or the letters of the alphabet, or what it means to be human.

Esta semana en Mindfacts abordamos la "hipótesis Gaia" de James Lovelock y Lynn Margulis, que entiende la Tierra como un ente en equilibrio activo gracias a la presencia de la vida y con el objetivo de conservarla, autorregulándose como un organismo vivo. ¿Cómo son las ideas que propone y qué hay de científicamente demostrable en ellas?Jesús Callejo desarrolla el principio de la hipótesis Gaia para que todos la entendamos y Sergio Cordero nos cuenta el curriculum de James Lovelock y la importancia de la implicación de Lynn Margulis en esta idea. Mientras tanto, Alberto Espinosa trata de sobrevivir al rudio del taladro que suena desde casa de los vecinos, y Francisco Izuzquiza intenta poner orden en mitad de este caos.Gracias a vuestras escuchas hemos conseguido llevar juguetes a los niños en estas Navidades, y ya tenemos un nuevo objetivo: Conseguir donar muchos kilos de comida (el objetivo está en 1000) a un Banco de Alimentos, y así poder ayudar a gente que la necesita para poder mantenerse. ¡De nuevo, gracias por hacerlo posible!

This week we're whittling down our final eight scientists to crown our winner. We're digging into the work of Isaac Newton, Henrietta Leavitt, Marie Curie, Albert Einstein, Lynn Margulis, Archimedes, Vera Rubin and Charles Darwin, before determining which one is the greatest scientist of all time.This was NOT an easy task. Let us know if you agree or disagree with our decision on Twitter, @EurekaPod. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

We're putting more incredible scientists head to head this week on our mission to crown the greatest scientist of all time! This episode, we've got some seriously tough showdowns, like Richard Dawkins vs Lynn Margulis and some *slightly* less tricky battles, like J.B.S Haldane vs Archimedes… We're also discussing the amazing work of Tu YouYou, Charles Darwin, Dorothy Hodgkin and Vera Ruben! Join us next week to find out who will reign supreme!@EurekaPod Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

On this episode of Let's Talk Creation, Todd and Paul interview special guest Dr. Joe Francis about the good, the bad, and the ugly microbes God has gifted the world. Dr. Joe Francis is Chairman of Biological and Physical Sciences at The Master's University in Santa Clarita, CA. Dr. Francis talks about what microbes are and how we interact with them on a daily basis. Microbes are everywhere and while there are really bad ones, there are also microbes that we and other creatures need to survive. They introduce the idea of symbiosis and why we should be thankful for microbes. Books and articles mentioned in the podcast:

James Ephraim Lovelock, best known for the Gaia hypothesis, died on the 26th of July 2022, on his 103rd birthday. In his honour, this episode is going to detail some of his achievements. During our discussion, we're going to examine his contribution to Martian life detection in the form of a paper published in 1965, as well as outline what the Gaia hypothesis actually refers to...

Holobiont er et relativt nyt forskningsfelt. Alligevel forventes  det at skabe flere nybrud indenfor den naturvidenskabelige forskning. Men hvad er det så? Ja, her må du lytte til podcasten. Her fortæller Jacob Agerbo Rasmussen om, hvad holobiont er. Samt om flere resultater i dette banebrydende forskningsfelt, hvor der til en vis grad gøres op med den reduktionistiske forskningsmodel, der oftest gælder indenfor naturvidenskab. I podcasten nævner jeg bl.a., hvordan det menneskelige tarmmikrobiom er ”som en galakse: kolossalt, komplekst og bestående af et astronomisk antal mikrober, der interagerer med deres vært”. Ligesom dette formodentlig er helt afgørende for vores mentale og fysiske sundhed.Hvis du vil vide mere om det, så tjek Oluf Borbye Pedersens artikel i Dagbladet Information. Og selv om den er tilbage fra 2021, kan den stadig sagtens læses! O.B. Pedersen er btw professor i human metabolisme og metabolisk genetik samt forskningsleder ved Novo Nordisk Foundation Center for Basic Metabolic Research på Københavns Universitet.Holobiont-konceptet blev oprindeligt introduceret af den tyske biolog Adolf Meyer-Abich i 1943. Men vi skal frem til 1991, før det rigtigt slår igennem.

How is it possible that you are—simultaneously—cells, atoms, a body, quarks, a component in an ecological network, a moment in the thermodynamic dispersal of the sun, and an element in the gravitational whirl of galaxies? Joshua DiCaglio's SCALE THEORY provides a foundational theory of scale that explains how scale works, the parameters of scalar thinking, and how scale reconfigures objects, subjects, relationships—while teaching us to think in terms of scale, no matter where our interests may lie. DiCaglio is joined here by author Dorion Sagan in a dazzling conversation about how a theory of scale might challenge perspectives on space and time, philosophy, innerness, psychedelics—with careful attention to scientific thinking as well as fascination and mysticism, much attuned to the way scale transforms both reality and ourselves.Joshua DiCaglio is assistant professor of English at Texas A&M University.Dorion Sagan is an award-winning writer, editor, and theorist. He is the son of the astronomer Carl Sagan and the biologist Lynn Margulis.References and citations:-Scale Theory (Joshua DiCaglio)-Cosmic Apprentice (Dorion Sagan)-Dazzle Gradually (Lynn Margulis and Dorion Sagan)-Cosmos (Carl Sagan)-Powers of Ten video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0fKBhvDjuy0)-Inner Life of a Cell video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yKW4F0Nu-UY)-Jakob von Uexküll-Microcosmos (Lynn Margulis and Dorion Sagan)-Symbiotic Planet (Lynn Margulis)-Simon Levin-Samuel Butler-Arts of Living on a Damaged Planet (Anna Lowenhaupt Tsing, Heather Anne Swanson, Elaine Gan, and Nils Bubandt, editors); Sagan has a contribution in this volume.-The Philosophy of Science Fiction: Henri Bergson and the Fabulations of Philip K.

Het idee dat er wijsheid schuilt in de natuur is eeuwenoud en heeft al vele vormen gekend, van natuurgeesten en goden tot taoïsme en hekserij. In de afgelopen eeuw is er ook steeds meer wetenschappelijk onderzoek gekomen naar bewustzijn en intelligentie van planten, dieren en de ecosystemen waar ze in leven. De nog steeds omstreden Gaia-hypothese van James Lovelock en Lynn Margulis stelt dat de Aarde één groot netwerk van organische en non-organische systemen is dat elkaar beïnvloed om een leefbare balans te behouden. Het concept van ecosystemen die een balans vinden is inmiddels een beproefd en essentieel onderdeel van natuurbehoud en het tegengaan van klimaatverandering en effecten daarvan, uiteenlopend van het verwilderen van natuurgebieden, het herintroduceren van apex predatoren en het ruimte maken voor het buiten de oevers treden van rivieren. Er is zelfs onderzoek, onder andere door Suzanne Simard, dat laat zien dat bomen en fungi door middel van chemische verbindingen voedingstoffen uitwisselen en zo een sterker gedeeld leefsysteem creëren. Wat kunnen mensen leren van deze natuurlijke balans? Hoe verhoudt menselijke wijsheid zich tot die van overig leven? Kunnen we de inzichten van de natuur gebruiken of is dat een te menselijke gedachte? Te gast is Annika, historica en wijsgerige, net als in aflevering 1 over burgerschap.

Folge 14 startet mal wieder mit zwei aktuellen Themen, die aber leider beide unerfreulich sind: Russland hat die Zusammenarbeit auf der ISS beendet & die Schauspielerin Grace Dell „Nichelle“ Nichols ist am 30. Juli gestorben. Sie war vor allem für ihre Rolle als Lieutenant Uhura in Star Trek bekannt („Hailing Frequencies Open“). Lynn Margulis war Biologin & hat zu Lebzeiten vor allem kontroverse Theorien vertreten. Wofür man sie allerdings kennen sollte, ist die Weiterentwicklung Endosymbiontentheorie. Zum Thema Pluto stellt Juni heute sogar zwei Wissenschaftlerinnen vor: Alice Bowman leitet die New Horizons Mission zum Pluto und darüber hinaus ins Universum. Die Daten, die 2015 über Pluto gesammelt wurden, werden seit 2016 ausgearbeitet. Daran ist unter anderem auch Kelsi Singer beteiligt, sie ist Planetologin. Nun gab es auf Pluto zwei ungewöhnlich Entdeckungen, bei deren Schlussfolgerung sich die Frage stellt, ob es Leben auf Pluto geben kann… PS: an dem Duzen arbeiten wir (Philipp) noch ;) Doku Terra X Pluto (nur noch bis zum 31.08. verfügbar) https://www.zdf.de/dokumentation/zdfinfo-doku/zwergplanet-pluto-entdeckung-einer-fernen-welt-100.html Richard Dwarkins „It works… bitches“ https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=n6hxo1sC-dU Intro/Outro-Music: A Few Moments Later by Shane Ivers - https://www.silvermansound.com Episodenbilder: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lynn_Margulis#/media/Datei:Lynn_Margulis.jpg, Self-published work by Jpedreira, CC BY-SA 2.5 https://www.flickr.com/photos/nasahqphoto/46506443632, NASA/Joel Kowsky https://thebridge.agu.org/files/2019/08/Pluto_Kelsi-Singer.jpg, Photo by Rayna M Tedford/WUSTL Photos

Dr. Stephan Harding, a cofounder of Schumacher College (England) and senior lecturer in holistic science, is a pioneering scientist focused on earth sciences, deep ecology, and the theory of Gaia. His work stands on the shoulders of his friend and colleague James Lovelock, the originator of Gaia theory, and microbiologist Lynn Margulis, who bravely championed the idea of symbiosis as a driving force in evolution. In his new book, 'Gaia Alchemy: The Reuniting of Science, Psyche, and Soul,' Harding explores how Gaia manifests itself in human consciousness, feelings, and soul, and how Jungian depth psychology and the history of medieval alchemy can guide us to new insights.

Gibt es Lebewesen die so groß wie Planeten sind? Und ist die Erde eines davon? Nein. Und nein. Aber die "Gaia-Hypothese" ist trotzddem spannend wenn man verstehen will wie die Erde funktioniert.

Se habla mucho sobre Gaia, el planeta Tierra, en el circuito New Age, pero es mucho más que eso. De hecho, la teoría que lleva su nombre entiende al planeta Tierra como un organismo vivo. Esta es una teoría difundida por Lynn Margulis, una bióloga pisciana, desde finales de la década del '70.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Rule Thinkers In, Not Out, published by Scott Alexander on the LessWrong. Imagine a black box which, when you pressed a button, would generate a scientific hypothesis. 50% of its hypotheses are false; 50% are true hypotheses as game-changing and elegant as relativity. Even despite the error rate, it's easy to see this box would quickly surpass space capsules, da Vinci paintings, and printer ink cartridges to become the most valuable object in the world. Scientific progress on demand, and all you have to do is test some stuff to see if it's true? I don't want to devalue experimentalists. They do great work. But it's appropriate that Einstein is more famous than Eddington. If you took away Eddington, someone else would have tested relativity; the bottleneck is in Einsteins. Einstein-in-a-box at the cost of requiring two Eddingtons per insight is a heck of a deal. What if the box had only a 10% success rate? A 1% success rate? My guess is: still most valuable object in the world. Even an 0.1% success rate seems pretty good, considering (what if we ask the box for cancer cures, then test them all on lab rats and volunteers?) You have to go pretty low before the box stops being great. I thought about this after reading this list of geniuses with terrible ideas. Linus Pauling thought Vitamin C cured everything. Isaac Newton spent half his time working on weird Bible codes. Nikola Tesla pursued mad energy beams that couldn't work. Lynn Margulis revolutionized cell biology by discovering mitochondrial endosymbiosis, but was also a 9-11 truther and doubted HIV caused AIDS. Et cetera. Obviously this should happen. Genius often involves coming up with an outrageous idea contrary to conventional wisdom and pursuing it obsessively despite naysayers. But nobody can have a 100% success rate. People who do this successfully sometimes should also fail at it sometimes, just because they're the kind of person who attempts it at all. Not everyone fails. Einstein seems to have batted a perfect 1000 (unless you count his support for socialism). But failure shouldn't surprise us. Yet aren't some of these examples unforgiveably bad? Like, seriously Isaac – Bible codes? Well, granted, Newton's chemical experiments may have exposed him to a little more mercury than can be entirely healthy. But remember: gravity was considered creepy occult pseudoscience by its early enemies. It subjected the earth and the heavens to the same law, which shocked 17th century sensibilities the same way trying to link consciousness and matter would today. It postulated that objects could act on each other through invisible forces at a distance, which was equally outside the contemporaneous Overton Window. Newton's exceptional genius, his exceptional ability to think outside all relevant boxes, and his exceptionally egregious mistakes are all the same phenomenon (plus or minus a little mercury). Or think of it a different way. Newton stared at problems that had vexed generations before him, and noticed a subtle pattern everyone else had missed. He must have amazing hypersensitive pattern-matching going on. But people with such hypersensitivity should be most likely to see patterns where they don't exist. Hence, Bible codes. These geniuses are like our black boxes: generators of brilliant ideas, plus a certain failure rate. The failures can be easily discarded: physicists were able to take up Newton's gravity without wasting time on his Bible codes. So we're right to treat geniuses as valuable in the same way we would treat those boxes as valuable. This goes not just for geniuses, but for anybody in the idea industry. Coming up with a genuinely original idea is a rare skill, much harder than judging ideas is. Somebody who comes up with one good original idea (plus ninety-nine really stupid cringeworthy takes) is a ...

Often seen as an outlier in science, Gaia has run a long and varied course since its formulation in the 1970s by atmospheric chemist James Lovelock and microbiologist Lynn Margulis. Gaian Systems: Lynn Margulis, Neocybernetics, and the End of the Anthropocene (U Minnesota Press, 2020) is a pioneering exploration of the dynamic and complex evolution of Gaia's many variants, with special attention to Margulis's foundational role in these developments. Bruce Clarke assesses the different dialects of systems theory brought to bear on Gaia discourse. Focusing in particular on Margulis's work--including multiple pieces of her unpublished Gaia correspondence--he shows how her research and that of Lovelock was concurrent and conceptually parallel with the new discourse of self-referential systems that emerged within neocybernetic systems theory. The recent Gaia writings of Donna Haraway, Isabelle Stengers, and Bruno Latour contest its cybernetic status. Clarke engages Latour on the issue of Gaia's systems description and extends his own systems-theoretical synthesis under what he terms "metabiotic Gaia." This study illuminates current issues in neighboring theoretical conversations--from biopolitics and the immunitary paradigm to NASA astrobiology and the Anthropocene. Along the way, he points to science fiction as a vehicle of Gaian thought. Delving into many issues not previously treated in accounts of Gaia, Gaian Systems describes the history of a theory that has the potential to help us survive an environmental crisis of our own making.

Focusing in particular on Margulis's work--including multiple pieces of her unpublished Gaia correspondence--he shows how her research and that of Lovelock was concurrent and conceptually parallel with the new discourse of self-referential systems that emerged within neocybernetic systems theory. The recent Gaia writings of Donna Haraway, Isabelle Stengers, and Bruno Latour contest its cybernetic status. Clarke engages Latour on the issue of Gaia's systems description and extends his own systems-theoretical synthesis under what he terms "metabiotic Gaia." This study illuminates current issues in neighboring theoretical conversations--from biopolitics and the immunitary paradigm to NASA astrobiology and the Anthropocene. Along the way, he points to science fiction as a vehicle of Gaian thought. Delving into many issues not previously treated in accounts of Gaia, Gaian Systems describes the history of a theory that has the potential to help us survive an environmental crisis of our own making.

Con Laura Fernández y Eloy Fernández Porta. En este cambio de siglo el ser humano ha asumido que no es el único animal inteligente y cultural. Guiados por las investigaciones de algunos de los científicos más importantes de las últimas décadas, descubrimos cómo se comunican o aprenden los primates, los elefantes o las ballenas. AUTORES CITADOS: Jane Goodall, Carl Safina, Bernie Krause, Matt Whyman, Vinciane Despret, Donna Haraway, Lynn Margulis, United Visual Artists, Kinji Imanishi.

Award-winning/optioned screenwriter Gabriell DeBear Paye discusses her screenplay, THE UNSELFISH GENE, based on the life and work of evolutionary biologist and scientific rebel Lynn Margulis.  

El reino fungi es una bisagra, una interfaz, un puente entre el mundo vegetal y el animal, entre la vida y la muerte, entre la realidad y la espiritualidad. Hablamos sobre él, en el exterior de la Tierra, y sobre los microorganismos que transportamos en el intestino, una metáfora inesperada del mundo.Autores citados: Margaret Cavendish, Rosi Braidotti, Samuel Butler, Jonathan Swift, Robert MacFarlane, Ed Yong, H.P. Lovecraft, Anna Tsing, David Quammen, Kevin Kelly, Lynn Margulis, David Benjamin, Kristel Peters, Francesca Gavin.

Today we talk to Finian Makepeace, a Co-Founder of Kiss The Ground. He is a recording artist, activist and self-taught soil advocate who has a passion to change the world. He strives to make the world a more peaceful and harmonious place for humans and all of nature. Join us as he shares a bit about his background, and why he is passionate about advocating for regenerative agriculture and building soil carbon. He shares with us about how healthy soil creates delicious and nutritious food, and how composting is a simple way to get started in building soil carbon.  Check out Kiss the Ground online:www.kisstheground.com www.facebook.com/kissthegroundCA/www.instagram.com/kisstheground/ For the speaker training Finian mentions:Contact Michelle via Email at speakertraining@kisstheground.com  Show Notes Background- there are things in our lives that set us up for our big epiphanies- grew up with lots of exposure to the natural world, mother was an avid gardener- considered himself in the top bracket of people in level of understanding climate change- influenced by hearing Graham Sait speak & share much he didn't know- concluded that if he didn't know, that most people would know even less- resolved that he (along with others) would get the message out to people, and thus Kiss the Ground was born- Finian's parents encouraged critical thought, gave him the chance to find answers for himself- his schooling (home-based, then heavily nature-focused) favoured gaining experiential knowledge, which gave him confidence as an adult to become a self-taught soil scientist  Kiss the Ground- director of storytelling, media, and communications at Kiss the Ground- brand new speaker training course happening now, wanted to help other people become advocates also- course is about 70% content, 30% training on speaking- giving people the tools to articulate the Big Idea- the Big Idea: the difference between degenerative, sustainable, and regenerative- this is NOT a sustainability movement, it's a regenerative movement- a new way of interacting with nature in all arenas of life  Sustainability vs Regeneration- sustainability = cessation of harm to the world, while regeneration is far more than that = makes everything better- you don't need to make people feel bad about doing harm (sustainability) before introducing them to regeneration- help them see how much better everything will work in their favour through regenerative practices- people are motivated ultimately by pleasure, so show them that and they will move towards it  Current Projects- Kiss The Ground book came out in November 2017- Kiss The Ground movie coming out soon, with Exec. Producer Leonardo DiCaprio. Woody Harrelson as narrator. - launched a new blog, looking for writers to contribute.- speaker training with Kiss The Ground.  Our Microbiome & the Soil- our taste buds are designed to increase our consumption of things that are really good for us- in the last 150 years, we've had access to whatever we want, and fake flavours that trick our taste buds into eating more- good news: research is showing that food that tastes better has better content for us, and is most likely grown using better soil practices- rhizosphere : the tip of plant root systems, where sugars are leaked out to feed microbial communities, and in that process, the plant is getting to take those minerals and fortify itself- reverse this process, and you basically have the human gut- as if we have roots inside us, or plants have a stomach under the ground!- number-wise, we have many more microbes than human cells in our bodies- who's actually in charge: us, the plant, or the microbes??  Other Influences & Inspirations- David Montgomery's book: The Hidden Half of Nature - his wife -Anne Biklé built soil in their backyard, we can build soil much quicker than used to be commonly thought- in the 70s, Carl Sagan's ex-wife -Lynn Margulis was doing research on mutualism: two things coming together, and both becoming better as a result- in the U.S., this mutualism research opposed by “competitive theory” i.e. survival of the fittest- Dr Alan Williams: soil building research  Getting Practical - compost at home- watch 2 Youtube videos and become an expert on home composting, it's not rocket science- keep compost container in your freezer: eliminates stinkiness, mess, and fruit flies- want an equal nitrogen to carbon ratio- food scraps are very high in nitrogen- keep a browns bin right next to your compost bin: leaves, newspaper, other carbon-based materials- intersperse browns with your frozen compost scraps, shuffle together, water twice a month- because scraps are frozen, it's not gross at all- become a first time parent to epic compost!- look for ways to source products made using regenerative practices- ask farmers their practices- ask local chefs where they get their produce: best growing practices equals best-tasting food  Final Thoughts- nature wants to be regenerative- instead of just doing less harm, we can actively restore vitality- life is designed to move in the direction of regeneration, and it's not that much work to help it and watch it grow exponentially- being probiotic = living regeneratively  

Biologist Lynn Margulis gave us a new way to look at life—and perhaps, a new way to live it. She showed life doesn't evolve just through random DNA mistakes and competition. Instead, interdependence is the key. Cells are the baseline—not "selfish" genes. Loops and new relationships replace linear branches of life. Nothing is an individual: everything is a community. Every living thing is conscious of its surroundings. Evolution geographer James MacAllister was Lynn Margulis's graduate student, friend, swimming buddy, and assistant for 10 years, until her sudden death in 2011. He created animations of many of her discoveries, was her teaching assistant, and continues to digitize and represent her research. I met Jim at his home in Amherst, Massachusetts, where we talked about: -Old-school evolution thinking based on random DNA mistakes and competition (aka the Modern Synthesis or neo-Darwinism. Richard Dawkins, a neo-Darwinist, who often sparred with Lynn Margulis, once called her "Attila the Hen.") -Lynn's radically different work on how life evolves (aka symbiosis, biological relativity, systems biology) -How the Modern Synthesis doesn't do justice to the microbiome -How DNA is like a bundt pan -How Lynn and James Lovelock collaborated on Gaia Theory -How this view of evolution could change our outlook on how to live Keep an eye out for this new film, Symbiotic Earth: How Lynn Margulis Rocked the Boat and Started a Scientific Revolution.

Whether we plunder the Earth or participate in it depends on deep notions of who we are. Jennifer Morgan of the Deep Time Journey Network says in Part Two of our conversation about the Universe Story, "What's going on every single second is so stunning that if we were truly present to it, we would fall down on our knees and kiss the ground." While she admits most of us aren't able to maintain that presence through our day-to-day lives, learning how our Earth creates and functions can help us live them. That kind of awareness invites us to live "mythical lives." Those quiet invitations are everywhere. As Jennifer explains, the Universe shows us how to handle crisis, in ways that mirror the lessons mythical heroes learn on their journeys: when you've come undone, cooperate—maybe with someone or something unexpected—and create something new. It happens on this planet all the time, despite dominant ideas that Nature works only through survival of the fittest, or that "red in tooth and claw" thing. "Life did not take over the globe by combat, but by networking," wrote the late, great biologist Lynn Margulis, who pioneered the concept of endosymbiosis and wrote about it with her son and collaborator, writer Dorion Sagan. Jennifer and I also talk about how to move past feelings of insignificance when considering a vast Universe, about ritual, the importance of Nature to children (and eating dirt), and about ideas of the divine. Jennifer's own religious background is fascinating: her anti-Christian grandmother was regularly welcomed into American Indian ceremonies; her Methodist organist mom turned churchgoers on to lava lamps. Her own path included converting to Catholicism (although some nuns tried to talk her out of it), Celtic spiritual ideas, and more… Music in this episode is "Ritual 13" by Jason Leonard, used via a Creative Commons license.
