Podcasts about Margaret Mead

Send us a textWhat if we could build a world where human connection trumps credentials? Where seeing the gold in others becomes a superpower? In this illuminating conversation, collaboration catalyst Gill Tiney reveals the transformative journey that shaped her mission to connect good people globally.Growing up in the multicultural East End of London in the 1960s gave Gill a unique perspective. As one of only two white children in her school, difference became something to celebrate rather than fear. "Different to me meant good. Different to me meant adventure," she shares, describing how this foundation shaped her entire worldview. This early experience crystallized into Collaboration Global's core value: "human beings first" – a refreshingly straightforward approach cutting through labels to focus on authentic connection.The impact of Gill's work extends far beyond business networking. While members certainly experience economic benefits, she shares profound stories of lives transformed: addiction recovery, family reconciliation, and even suicide prevention. Perhaps most striking is her ability to see "gold threads" between people – recognizing complementary strengths and opportunities individuals themselves often overlook, like the surveyor and office supplies company who sat beside each other for months without realizing their perfect business alignment.Gill's vision emerges as something extraordinary – an "online country" experimenting with collaborative approaches to global challenges. She draws inspiration from movements like Black Lives Matter and Extinction Rebellion, valuing collective impact over individual recognition. Her guiding philosophy comes from anthropologist Margaret Mead: "Never doubt that a small group of committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has."For those feeling overwhelmed by global problems, Gill offers simple yet profound wisdom: connect with good people, celebrate small wins, and trust that your authentic self is exactly what the world needs.

In this feature segment of asPERusual, guest listener and patient partner Kathy Smith offers a short recap and her key takeaways from last week's episode of asPERusual focused on patient engagement within the Can-SOLVE CKD Network -- a Canada-wide network of patients, scientists, and health care professionals devoted to creating innovative kidney care solutions. Tune in to this short (~10 minute) episode, regardless of whether you want to compare reflections or get the Coles notes of the full Can-SOLVE CKD Network episode.Episode Transcript:Anna:Hi everyone! Welcome to onePERspective - a bi-weekly segment in which patient partner Kathy Smith shares a synopsis and key reflections from the previous episode of asPERusual -- a podcast for practical patient engagement. My name is Anna Chudyk and I am asPERusual's host. In today's episode, Kathy will be commenting on S3E2 of asPERusual. In that episode, I sat down with Melanie Talson and Cathy Woods to learn all about patient engagement within the Can-SOLVE CKD Network, which is a Canada-wide network of patients, scientists, and health care professionals devoted to creating innovative kidney care solutions. Alright Kathy, lets turn it over to you and your onePERspective. Kathy Smith:Thank you, Anna and hello, everyone. I am speaking to you from the centre of Canada along the shores of Lake Superior, or Gitchigumi, the largest, deepest, coldest and cleanest freshwater lake in the world. I wish to acknowledge that my City of Thunder Bay is situated on the traditional land of the Anishinaabe peoples, including the Ojibwa of Fort William First Nation, signatories to the Robinson Superior Treaty of 1850. I thank our ancestral land keepers for centuries of sustainable stewardship of this beautiful area and for kindly sharing the bounties of this rich land with everyone. I also wish to express my appreciation for the significant contribution of the Metis nation. I am sorry for the mistakes made and mistreatment of Indigenous peoples by colonists in the past and I am committed to working together for truth and reconciliation. Miigwetch.If ever there was an award for a solid and sustainable engagement strategy, today's Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) Px engagement platform would certainly be a strong contender. I am most impressed with how they have integrated the Indigenous voice and with their capacity-building training modules, including bi-directional Capacity Bridging.Melanie Talson & Cathy Woods from Can-SOLVE CKD: Canadians Seeking Solutions and Innovations to Overcome Chronic Kidney Disease describe their network as a national partnership of lived experience patients; learned experience researchers; laboured experience health care workers and clinicians; and leaders – the managers and policy makers. The four “Ls” work together to transform treatment and care and improve the outcome for those living with debilitating chronic kidney disease.Can-SOLVE's tagline is “the right treatment for the right person at the right time and place.” No small task when you consider CKD affects a disproportionate number of Indigenous people many of whom live in remote, even fly-in, communities. That is why I am so impressed to see that this group has a strategy for addressing that barrier to care. Can-SOLVE has an Indigenous-led partner group, IPERC -Indigenous Peoples Engagement and Research Council. IPERC's focus is on Indigenous kidney care challenges unique to this harder to reach, often underserved, group. Cathy, of the Bear Clan, is a member of Naicatchewenin First Nation in Northwestern Ontario, is the patient partner and a lead researcher of the Kidney Check Research Project which seeks to screen, triage and treat Indigenous people living in rural and remote communities in the three western provinces and British Columbia. Patient partners within both groups prioritize and co-lead research projects like this one, ensuring meaningful and relevant engagement at every stage. Furthermore, there is a Patient Governance Council – a leadership team made up of representatives of both interest groups who decide on plans and policies that affect the entire CKD community.Our speakers have done a great job describing each of the 6 Rs upon which they built their engagement platform: Respect, Responsibility, Reciprocity, Relevance, Relationships and Realness. Realness is a term I had not heard of in engagement platforms before. But I do understand and appreciate its inclusion. We need to fit our hats to the task as I like to call it. Our real life has given each of us many hats, but which shall we wear to best meet the asks of the task? Patients and providers work best when they find common ground, common interests and common language with lived experience input “as is”. Bring your real, authentic self to the table. Respect for individual differences and perspectives sees real-world impacts.Equally impactful is how patient partners like Cathy describes her involvement in CANSOLVE as healing, empowering, and deeply purposeful – creating a space for ordinary people to accomplish extraordinary things. As the famous anthropologist, Margaret Mead, phrased it; never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. It's the only thing that ever has.”Finally, I'd like to acknowledge CANSOLVE's Bridging Capacity. Building capacity is an integral component of patient engagement strategies. Training modules are co-designed to buildup the knowledge and provide the necessary tools for patients to engage in a research project. These helps are unidirectional in scope. So how does Bridging Capacity differ from Building Capacity? Bridging Capacity is bi-directional. Patients and providers both learn from each other. I cant think of a better tool for bridging the power differential and creating strong work relationships!All in all, CANSOLVE and IPERC have really empowered patients to enhance research relevance to better the outcome for all with chronic kidney disease.PERsonally SpeakingMy three take-aways:Could this Indigenous Partnership (IPERC) model be used to incorporate the voice of many other underserved populations – the remote; the homeless; the new Canadians? These groups are surely concerned about their health, but they do not want to, or cannot, come to our Table. So, meet them where they are at with separate interest groups run by their own leaders and their own peers. Then the leaders of the various interest groups could come together to form an overarching Senior Team. This makes for a much more inclusive and diverse Patient Engagement Platform!Capacity Bridging This was a term I had not heard of before but I very much like it for the added emphasis it brings to an engagement platform. This bridging is a bi-directional sharing of knowledge between the lived experience experts and the learned experience experts. It stresses the importance of respecting that all members of the team bring unique experiences and skill sets. This concept guides mentorship, training, and peer review practices across the network. Patient partners are highly valued for their different hats they bring to a task on the TEAM: Together Everyone Accomplishes More. Together is better!Relationship Building is at the heart and soul of every Patient Engagement Platform. It takes a patience of time and a whole lot of money. It must be accounted for in research budgets and run by a paid, highly trained and skilled multi-tasker manager. Anything less jeopardizes the success of the engagement platform and perhaps the relevance and value of the research itself.At this time, I would like to thank everyone for the privilege and the opportunity of speaking to you on these podcasts. In particular, I want to do a huge shout out to my heroine, Anna, for including me and asking me to do these podcasts. As Anna is moving forward with the pediatric and youth groups, I want a fresh voice to help her with these podcasts. But in any case, I wish Anna all the best as she goes forward with this labor of love. I can't tell you how much time and effort Anna has shown and the passion that she has dedicated to helping all patients engage meaningfully and relevantly with academic partners in research. Thank you. And happy trails, Anna. Anna:Thanks Kathy for this, and all of the other onePERspective's to date. As you know, your encouraging emails summarizing all you learned from the release of this podcast's initial episodes were the impetus for creating the onePERspective segment. I've really enjoyed hearing your reflections and collaborating with you on the creation of these episodes. Even with all your engagement related jet setting, I could also count on you to come through on your episode… and somehow find the time for it. Big hugs to you and I'm glad we have research we're collaborating on together so it's not actually a good bye. Moving forward this season, I'm going to continue with onePERspective but it's taking a different twist. A big reason why I have chosen to focus the remainder of season 3's episodes on engaging children, youth, and families is for my own learning as I expand my research program to focus on these populations. I am currently moving in this direction through a pharmacogenetics study I am collaborating on with my colleague Abdullah Maruf, as well as work I am doing with colleagues to redesign pediatric-to-adult transition care services for youth and families living with congenital heart disease. Sasha Kullman is a talented PhD trainee working under my supervision on the congenital heart disease project. Given her passion and penchant for patient engagement and knowledge translation, I thought that it would be a great opportunity for her to take over onePERspective this season, and offer a trainee perspective on her take-aways from the episodes. She's very brilliant and I can't wait to hear her episode takeaways as her insights always make me think.In the next full episode of asPERusual, I kick off the rest of this season's focus on how to meaningfully engage children, youth, and families in health research. Guests Brianna Hunt, Onalee Garcia-Alecio, and Michelle Roy, will share their experience with engaging in the iCARE study—Canada's largest cohort of youth with type 2 diabetes. We'll also discuss what makes engagement meaningful over time, the value of lived experience, and practical tips for involving youth and families in ways that are inclusive, trauma-informed, and fun.

In this episode of Connected Leadership Bytes host Andy Lopata talks to Frank Agin, a connector and founder of AM Business Connections, about building meaningful relationships and networking with impact. They explore the dual meaning of "connection"—both as human bonding and strategic engagement. Frank emphasises shifting from a transactional mindset ("What can I get?") to a relational one ("What can I give?"), stressing that trust and empathy are foundational. He shares the three reasons people fail to secure referrals: lack of relationship depth, inability to recognise opportunities, and hesitation to engage in meaningful dialogue. Andy and Frank highlight storytelling as a tool to foster connection, using relatable anecdotes to bridge gaps and build rapport. Frank concludes with a powerful metaphor from anthropologist Margaret Mead: a healed femur symbolises humanity's innate instinct to care for one another, reinforcing that survival and success depend on mutual support. Key Takeaways: 1. Relationships First: Build genuine connections by focusing on giving, not extracting value. 2. Storytelling Matters: Use stories to engage, humanise interactions, and make ideas memorable. 3. Referral Barriers: Lack of trust, opportunity recognition, and conversational confidence hinder referrals. 4. Social Media Nuance: Platforms educate and nurture networks but aren't substitutes for real relationships. 5. Cognitive Diversity: Balance professional and personal networks for broader perspectives and support. 6. Human Instinct to Care: Empathy and collaboration are key to thriving.

Qualche decennio fa uno studente chiese alla sua professoressa di antropologia quale fosse il primo segno di civiltà nella storia. La professoressa in questione era Margaret Mead e rispose che il primo segno di civiltà non era un'arma, né un utensile, né una struttura o un vaso, ma un femore rotto e poi guarito. Quel femore ritrovato in una grotta 35mila anni dopo, infatti, ci dimostra che per la prima volta, qualcuno si era fermato e aveva rischiato la propria vita per prendersi cura di qualcun altro, per guarirlo. È probabilmente questa la prima vera transazione della storia. E non è uno scambio, è un dono. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

L'Asie vient de comprendre une chose essentielle : l'Amérique de Trump ne protège plus personne. À peine réinstallé à la Maison-Blanche, Donald Trump a décroché son téléphone, appelé Vladimir Poutine et s'est mis à négocier un accord pour mettre fin à la guerre en Ukraine, sans impliquer ni l'Ukraine ni l'Europe. Et si Trump est capable d'abandonner l'Ukraine, pourquoi protégerait-il Taïwan ? Pourquoi viendrait-il au secours du Japon ou de la Corée du Sud si Pékin décidait d'en finir avec Taipei ? L'engagement américain en Asie, ce pacte tacite selon lequel Washington défendrait ses alliés en cas d'attaque, vient de voler en éclats. C'est là qu'intervient une très vieille leçon d'histoire. L'anthropologue Margaret Mead disait que le premier signe de civilisation n'est ni une arme, ni une poterie, ni l'écriture, ni le feu, ni une cité, mais un fémur fracturé et guéri. Dans la nature, un animal blessé meurt à coup sûr. Chez l'homme, un os réparé est la preuve qu'un autre humain s'est arrêté, l'a soigné, nourri et protégé. C'est là que commence la civilisation. Visiblement, Trump n'a jamais eu de fémur cassé. Pour lui, l'entraide est une faiblesse, les alliances sont un fardeau et les engagements, une option. L'Amérique, autrefois pilier du monde libre, n'a plus rien à offrir à ses alliés, si ce n'est des accords de marchands de tapis avec des autocrates. --- La chronique économique d'Amid Faljaoui, tous les jours à 8h30 et à 17h30.

In this episode of Tiny Pulpit Talks, Rev. T. J. FitzGerald (Minister of Community Care and Engagement) and Rev. Beth Dana (Minister of Faith Development) kick off the 2025 season with an honest and heartfelt discussion about the power of community in times of resistance. As we navigate feelings of fear, unease, and even despondency, we explore the essential role of community in both holding us together and launching us into meaningful action. From the core principles of Unitarian Universalism—like the inherent worth and dignity of every person—to the practical steps of resistance and self-care, this conversation dives deep into how we can stand up for justice while taking care of ourselves and each other. We reflect on: ✨ The revolutionary roots of Unitarian Universalism. ✨ How communities can inspire powerful social change. ✨ The balance between action, rest, and self-preservation. ✨ Tuning out the noise and finding your unique contribution to the cause. Whether you're ready to march, organize, or simply find moments of joy in a chaotic world (even if that means binging The Great British Baking Show or RuPaul's Drag Race), this episode is here to remind you: You are not alone, and you are enough.

Mother Hilda says that Anthropologist Margaret Mead named a healed femur as the first sign of civilization, signifying compassion and care within a community. We are challenged to embody compassion, leaving a legacy that enriches the world, inspiring future generations to value and perpetuate this divine quality.

This bonus content is a reading from Platypus, the CASTAC Blog. The full post by Rosario Rm can be read at https://blog.castac.org/2024/12/on-menstruation-and-feeling-shame/. About the post: Menstruation as a subject of study is not new. Margaret Mead, Mary Douglas, Chris Bobel, Miren Guillo, and Karina Felitti, among many others, have discussed how menstruation has been related to specific practices, and how taboos present great dynamism and variability as specific cultural constructions frequently linked to systems of bodily control and gender. In this article, I present the advances of research that explores how taboos associated with menstruation are reflected in the bodily and emotional trajectory of menstruating women and people through the implementation of a methodology based on the collective construction of emotional corpobiographies (Ramírez, 2024). (This episode is available in additional languages on Platypus, The CASTAC Blog.)

Send us a textWhat does it mean to be human? Who counts as a human being and why? Anthropologist Tom Pearson has been asking these questions for a living for a long time, and then his daughter was born and diagnosed with Down syndrome, prompting him to ask the questions all over again in his book An Ordinary Future. Amy Julia and Tom discuss:Normalcy, disability, and the human experienceCultural perceptions of disability and the historical context of eugenics and institutionalization How prenatal testing influences societal views of disabilityInterdependence and its relationship to the human experienceThe ways disability is a source of innovation and community, not just an inevitabilityFREE RESOURCE: 10 Ways to Move Toward a Good Future {especially for families with disability}Guest Bio:Tom Pearson is a cultural anthropologist with wide-ranging interests in the fields of environmental justice and disability studies. He teaches at the University of Wisconsin-Stout, where he also chairs the social science department. His writing has appeared in numerous scholarly journals and other public outlets. The birth of his daughter Michaela and her diagnosis with Down syndrome thrust him into an unfamiliar world of disability and difference. His book An Ordinary Future: Margaret Mead, the Problem of Disability, and a Child Born Different examines this experience in relation to Margaret Mead's path to disability rights activism. It confronts the dominant ideas, disturbing contradictions, and dramatic transformations that have shaped our perspectives on disability over the last century.

This morning we discuss a novel approach to why Moshe is not allowed to enter the Land of Israel, not based on hitting the rock, not based on what he said to criticize to the people, but based on the order of what he said to the people. This insight is from Rabbi Elazer Shach, and is demonstrated by stories from Don Knauss and Margaret Mead. Michael Whitman is the senior rabbi of ADATH Congregation in Hampstead, Quebec, and an adjunct professor at McGill University Faculty of Law. ADATH is a modern orthodox synagogue community in suburban Montreal, providing Judaism for the next generation. We take great pleasure in welcoming everyone with a warm smile, while sharing inspiration through prayer, study, and friendship.

A fitting quest for Pride Month, Esther Newton's personal and professional struggles mirror sixty years of LGBTQ+ history. In the mid-1950s, catapulted out of a liberal household in New York to a rigidly-gendered southern California high school where girls were frilly and feminine, Esther was, in her own words, “a failure as a girl.” She knew she was different—a “homosexual,” as such deviants were then called.  Alone as a teenager, fearing she had no chance at a normal life, Esther found comfort in Margaret Mead's Coming of Age in Samoa. “It showed me the culture of the 50s and 60s was just one among thousands and thousands.”Like Mead, Esther earned her PhD in cultural anthropology. She dared to observe and write her dissertation on drag queens, a culture much closer to home. She wrote scholarly papers on “stone butches,” and how they had sex. She outed herself and became more of an activist in her collection of essays, Margaret Mead Made Me Gay.  It was “career suicide,” she says of her early work in the field, but Esther seems to have the last word in her memoir, My Butch Career, and on screen, in the 2022 documentary, Esther Newton Made Me Gay.  Today, a new generation looks up to her for her courage and foresight.You can view the trailer for Esther Newton Made Me Gay on her website as well as links to her writing:  https://www.Esther-Newton.com .

Father's Day | June 16, 2024Pastor Wes Morris Psalm 78:4-7 (GNT) We will tell the next generation about the Lord's power and his great deeds and the wonderful things he has done. He instructed our ancestors to teach his laws to their children, so that the next generation might learn them and in turn should tell their children.  In this way they also will put their trust in God and not forget what he has done, but always obey his commandments.√ WE ARE A DIVERSE GENERATION.√ WE ARE A DISCONNECTED GENERATION.Joshua 24:31 (NIV) Israel served the Lord throughout the lifetime of Joshua and the elders who outlived him and who had experienced everything the Lord had done for Israel.Judges 2:10 (NIV) After that whole generation had been gathered to their fathers, another generation grew up, who knew neither the Lord nor what he had done for Israel. “Throughout human history in all cultures parents and grandparents have helped their young understand life and the future. However, I anticipate that a time is coming where technology and culture changes so fast that, for the first time in human history, children will have to figure out for themselves what their values will be.”– Margaret Mead, Cultural Anthropologist 3 QUESTIONS Am I Loved? Do I have what it takes? Where are the boundaries?Hebrews 12:11 (NLT) No discipline is enjoyable while it is happening—it's painful! But afterward there will be a peaceful harvest of right living for those who are trained in this way.Proverbs 29:18 (CEB) When there's no vision, the people get out of control, but whoever obeys instruction is happy.  PASSING IT ON I. LOVE GOD PASSIONATELY. Deuteronomy 6:4-5 (GNT) Remember this! The Lord—and the Lord alone—is our God. Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength.II. TEACH TRUTH PRACTICALLY. Deuteronomy 6:6-7 (NIV) Write these commandments that I've given you today on your hearts. Get them inside of you and then get them inside your children. Talk about them wherever you are, sitting at home or walking in the street; talk about them from the time you get up in the morning to when you fall into bed at night.III. SHARE FAITH PERSONALLY.Deuteronomy 6:20-25 (TLB) In the years to come when your son asks you, ‘What is the purpose of these laws which God has given us?' you must tell him, ‘We were Pharaoh's slaves in Egypt, and the Lord brought us out of Egypt with great power. He brought us out of Egypt so that he could give us this land he had promised to our ancestors. And he has commanded us to obey all of these laws and to reverence him so that he can preserve us alive as he has until now.25 For it always goes well with us when we obey all the laws of the Lord our God.'

Today I talked to Benjamin Breen about his book Tripping on Utopia: Margaret Mead, the Cold War, and the Troubled Birth of Psychedelic Science (Grand Central, 2024). The generation that survived the second World War emerged with a profoundly ambitious sense of social experimentation. In the '40s and '50s, transformative drugs rapidly entered mainstream culture, where they were not only legal, but openly celebrated. American physician John C. Lilly infamously dosed dolphins (and himself) with LSD in a NASA-funded effort to teach dolphins to talk. A tripping Cary Grant mumbled into a Dictaphone about Hegel as astronaut John Glenn returned to Earth. At the centre of this revolution were the pioneering anthropologists - and star-crossed lovers - Margaret Mead and Gregory Bateson. Convinced the world was headed toward certain disaster, Mead and Bateson made it their life's mission to reshape humanity through a new science of consciousness expansion, but soon found themselves at odds with the government bodies who funded their work, whose intentions were less than pure. Mead and Bateson's partnership unlocks an untold chapter in the history of the twentieth century, linking drug researchers with CIA agents, outsider sexologists and the founders of the Information Age.

In this episode of The Informed Citizen, Dr. Philip Lindholm discusses the critical role of citizen involvement in a thriving democracy. Building on the previous episode about staying informed, Philip highlights the second habit of a good citizen: getting involved. Episode Highlights: The Importance of Participation: Democracy depends on the active engagement of its citizens. Every individual's voice and actions are crucial in shaping the society we live in. Voting as a Foundation: Voting is emphasized as the fundamental act of democratic expression. However, the episode also explores numerous other ways citizens can contribute to their communities beyond the ballot box. Inspiring Story of Change: The episode features the inspiring story of Katie Fahey, an everyday citizen who initiated a grassroots movement in Michigan to address gerrymandering. Her efforts led to a significant amendment to the state constitution, demonstrating the power of citizen action. Margaret Mead's Wisdom: Dr. Lindholm reflects on Margaret Mead's famous quote: "Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it's the only thing that ever has." Call to Action: Listeners are encouraged to start conversations about change at their dinner tables, community meetings, or family gatherings. The episode stresses that anyone's involvement can spark significant movements for positive change.

What happens if you transform HOW you think? In this episode, Bill Bellows and host Andrew Stotz discuss the problem of thinking in one dimension at a time (as we were taught in school) and its impact on our ability to solve problems. BONUS: Book recommendations to broaden your understanding of Deming and more. TRANSCRIPT 0:00:02.1 Andrew Stotz: My name is Andrew Stotz, and I'll be your host as we continue our journey into the teachings of Dr. W. Edwards Deming. Today, I'm continuing my discussion with Bill Bellows, who has spent 30 years helping people apply Dr. Deming's ideas to become aware of how their thinking is holding them back from their biggest opportunities. The topic for today is, well, episode 19, Transforming How we Think. Bill, take it away.   0:00:29.9 Bill Bellows: And good evening, Andrew.   0:00:35.8 AS: Good evening.   0:00:36.2 BB: And, but just as a point of clarity, I view it as transforming how we think about our thinking. And that's what I've been focusing on for the, since the mid, the early '90s is not how we think, but what is our awareness of our thinking, and I think that ties in well with SoPK. So first in late breaking news, I am seeing with new eyes, Andrew. Literally, I've got new monofocal lenses in both eyes. The left eye three weeks ago, the right eye, a week ago. I was told about five years ago, eventually I'll have to have cataract surgery. And I spoke with a few friends who had it done, and they said, oh, it's easy. And what was so amazing was it was easier than they said. It was.   0:01:41.0 BB: But one neighbor who's had it done, and kind of a sad note is he claims, and I've not double checked this, he's a sharp guy. He claims 80% of the world's population would benefit from cataract surgery that they don't have access to and eventually go blind. And I don't know, I can believe, and he is in fact he's quoted me twice on that. But I am literally seeing with new eyes. The grays are now, shades of gray, are now shades of blue. When I look at the sky. My depth perception's a whole lot better. And so it ties in well with all this vision therapy stuff. So.   0:02:36.8 AS: Aren't you glad that those machines are high quality and the operations that they do are high quality?   0:02:41.6 BB: Oh, yeah.   0:02:42.4 AS: Just one little mistake on that one. And, that's...   0:02:46.2 BB: Well, and I'm signing the documents and there's a little bit of a flutter when I'm signing, in terms of the liability. And one friend's mom had a bad cataract procedure, so it doesn't always go. And I shared this with Kevin. Kevin's had the same, as likewise had the procedure done. And we shared the anxieties and then it worked out well. But yeah when I signed that form that there was in the event, and I thought, whoa, that'd be, anyway, it worked. All right, so where I want to pick up in episode 19 is where we left off with episode 18. And there near the end, I referenced from Dr. Deming. He says Dr. Deming says in chapter three of The New Economics, and he says, "we saw in the last chapter that we're living under the tyranny of the prevailing style of management. Most people imagine this style has always existed. It is a fixture. Actually," he said, "it's a modern invention, a trap that has led us into decline. Transformation..."   0:04:03.0 BB: You remember that word from last time? Okay. "Transformation is required. Education and government, along with industry are also in need of transformation. The System of Profound Knowledge will be introduced in the next chapter. To be introduced in the next chapter is a theory for transformation." So I've got some bullet points and I want to get into the additional chapters and references from The New Economics on Dr. Deming's use of the term transformation. 'Cause I think what he's talking about... SoPK is a theory for transformation. So I think it's just not enough to talk about SoPK without understanding how does that fit in with what Dr. Deming's talking about?   0:04:49.0 AS: And for the listeners who come out of the blue here, SoPK stands for the System of Profound Knowledge.   0:04:56.1 BB: Yes. And system then gets into elements and the four elements that Dr. Deming proposed in The New Economics, going back to the late '80s when he started to put these thoughts together. We need to think about the elements of Profound Knowledge are looking at things as a system and understanding of variation and appreciation of psychology. That's the people aspect. And then theory of knowledge, which gets into what he would explain as how do we know that what we know is so. So the one thing I wanted to bring up on the System of Profound Knowledge is conversations with Dick Steele. And a neat way of looking at the System of Profound Knowledge is to say, well, what if we were to look at some data points, one element, we look at variation, and we see some data the output of a process.   0:06:00.0 BB: We see it go up and down. Well, if that's the only element we have, then we can't ask what caused that, 'cause that's the upstream system. Well, that's the system piece. We cannot talk about what does this variation do downstream? That's the system piece. We cannot talk about how might we change that. That might get into the theory of knowledge or would get into the aspect of the theory of knowledge and some theories as to how we can go about changing the average, changing the amount of variation. And then what that leads us immediately to is, where do those ideas come from but people.   0:06:44.7 BB: So it's kind of, I think it's interesting. So Dr. Deming says the elements, but it's as connected to each other. So what I explain to the students in my courses is, in the beginning, and I remember when I'm looking at this, I'm looking at the elements. I'm thinking, okay, that variation, that's the Control Chart stuff. Common causes, special causes, well, it also includes variation in people. Oh, now we're talking about the people stuff. And then, so I find it interesting is it is easy to look at them as separate, but then in time they meld together really well. So it's not to say that we shouldn't start out looking at things as the elements 'cause I think that's what our education system does. In fact, there's a great documentary I watched a few years ago with Gregory Bateson, who was born in 1900 or so, passed away in the 1980s.   0:07:52.6 BB: And when I ask people have you ever heard of Gregory Bateson? They say, no. I say, well, have you heard of Margaret Mead? Yeah. Well, they were married once upon a time. That was her, he was her first husband. And so Bateson gives a lecture in this documentary that his daughter produced. And he says, and he is at a podium. You don't see the audience. You just see he's at a lectern. And he says, you may think that there's such a thing as psychology, which is separate from anthropology, which is separate from English, which is separate from... And he goes on to imply that they really aren't separate. But then he says, "Well, think what you want."   0:08:38.1 AS: Think what you want.   0:08:39.7 AS: And I thought that's what the education system does. It has us believe that these things are all separate. And so that's what's kind of neat. Yeah. And, but again, I think when you go to school, you're learning about history, then you learn about math. But one thing I noticed later on, many years later was the history people never talked about, if they talked about the philosopher who was well known in mathematics, we didn't hear that mathematics piece, nor in the math class did we hear about this person as a historical figure. We just learned about... And so the education system kind of blocks all that out. And then years later when we're outta school, we can read and see how all this stuff comes together and it does come together. So the one big thing I wanna say is that, is I think it's neat to look at something with just one of those elements and then say, how far does it go before you need the others to really start to do something?   0:09:47.0 BB: And that gets into the interactions. And by interactions, I mean that when you're talking about variation and you're thinking about people are different, how they feel is different, how they respond is different. Now you're talking about the interaction between psychology, at least that's one explanation of the interaction between people amd psychology. I wanna share next an anecdote. I was at a UCLA presentation. A friend of mine turned me on to these maybe once a month kind of deal to be an invited speaker. 70 people in the room. And these were typically professors from other universities, authors, and there is one story I wanna share is a woman who had written a book on why really smart kids don't test well in secondary schools. And there were a good number of people there.   0:10:45.6 BB: And I'm listening to all this through my Deming lens, and she's talking about how kids do on the exams. That goes back to an earlier podcast. How did you do on the exam? And so I'm listening to all this and she's drawing conclusions that these students are really smart, but they freak out. And then how might they individually perform better? As if the greatest cause by them all by themselves. And so afterwards, I went up and stood in line and I had a question for her that I deliberately did not want to ask in front of the entire room. 'Cause I wanted her undivided attention, and I really wanted to see where she'd come with this. 'Cause perhaps it could lead to an ongoing discussion. So I went up and introduced myself and I think I said something like, are you familiar with W. Edwards Deming? And I believe she said she was. I think she was a psychologist by background. And then I moved into the... Essentially the essence of what if the grades are caused by the system and not the student taken separately, which she acknowledged. She's like, yeah, that makes sense. And I remember saying to her, "Well then how might that change your conclusions?"   0:12:11.2 BB: And so I throw that as an example of... Deming's saying you could be an expert in, you know, you just look at something. Actually, when that comes to mind is Deming is saying something like shouldn't a psychologist know something about variation? Well, shouldn't a psychologist know something about systems? And I didn't maintain a relationship with her, but it was just other things to do. Next I wanna share a story. And I wrote this up in an article. Then when this is posted...   0:12:49.0 BB: Typically these are posted on LinkedIn. Then I'll put a link into the article. And it's a classic story that Russ Ackoff was very fond of saying, and I heard the story told quite a few times before I started to think about it a little bit differently. So the story is he was working for General Electric back in the 1960s. He is in a very high level meeting. And in the room is this, the then CEO of GE, Reginald Jones and all of the senior VPs of General Electric are in the room. And Russ... I'm guessing he was doing, I know Russ did a lot of work with Anheuser-Busch, and he did a lot of work with GE. So Russ says he is in the room. There's maybe a dozen of these senior VPs of plastics of all the different GE divisions.   0:13:41.2 BB: And there's, Russ said there's one of them that was relatively new in a senior VP position, now over plastics or over lighting or whatever it was. And at one point he gets up. And one by one he raises a question with each of his peers. Something like, "Andrew, I noticed last year you installed a new software system." And you would say, "yeah, yep, yep." And I said, "I noticed you went with..." Let's say Apple, "you went with Apple Software", and you're like, "yeah," "that's what I thought. Yeah, you went with Apple." And then you might say something like, "why do you ask?" And he says, "well, the rest of us use Microsoft products. And it just seems kind of odd that you would go off and buy something different."   0:14:41.0 BB: And the point, and Russ didn't get into these details, the essence was every single one of them he'd figured out over the last year had made a decision, pretty high level decision that that senior VP felt was good for that division, but not good for General Electric. And Russ said what got his attention was, he wasn't sitting in that room hearing those conversations and he hears one decision then another, now he's got a whole list. So Russ says, he goes around the room and calls out every single one of his peers. So, and Russ shared this in one phone call, the Ongoing Discussions that I've mentioned. And people said, Russ, do you have that documented? And he is like, well, I don't think I have that any anymore. But somebody else asking.   0:15:35.3 BB: And then no sooner was the call over I had some friends call me up, said, "Bill, can you ask Russ if you have that, if he can get a copy of that? It's probably on his shelf. You're in his office". I said to one friend. I said, "so you'd be surprised that a member of Parliament does what's best for his district and not what's best for the United Kingdom. You think, you'd be surprised that a congressman from Los Angeles is gonna do what's best for Los Angeles, not what's best for the country.   0:16:07.2 BB: So you're telling me you're surprised by that?" Well, "no, no, no." I said, "well then why do you have to have the documentation?" So that's one aspect of it. So I heard that story again and again. And so finally it, I said, wait a minute, wait a minute. So I said, "Russ, on that story, you being in the room with GE?" He says, yeah. He says, I know you don't have the documentation, I said, "but what happened after this guy called them all out? How did that go down?" He says, "one of the peers looks at this guy and says, so what's your point?"   0:16:42.3 BB: And the meeting moved on. And I wrote that for an article for the Lean Management Journal called, "You Laugh, It Happens". And when I look at that through the lens of the System of Profound Knowledge, is that surprising that that goes on? No, not at all. I wanna reference a couple books that I don't think I've mentioned at all. And I share these because for the Deming enthusiasts, these books have some brilliant examples of in different arenas that I think you absolutely love and you can use in your classes, use in your education, whatever. All fairly recent. The first one is "The Tyranny of Metrics" written by a historian. He is an American University historian, Jerry Mueller, and he has, I mean, Dr. Deming would just love this. Oh, bingo! Bingo! Bingo! Thank you.   0:17:48.4 AS: Yep. There it is. "The Tyranny of Metrics".   0:17:50.1 BB: Right?   0:17:50.7 AS: Yep.   0:17:51.3 BB: Right. Is that a great one?   0:17:53.2 AS: That's a great book. And you can follow him on Twitter also. He does do a lot of posts there.   0:18:00.4 BB: Now I reached out to him 'cause I relished the book 'cause the stories were just, you just can't make up all those stories. I mean the story that I shared with Russ is nothing in comparison to what Muller has in the book. I just don't believe that Muller has a solution that can... I don't think, I think the only thing missing from the book is if he had an understanding of the System of Profound Knowledge, he'd have a far better proposal as to what to do.   0:18:31.8 AS: Yeah. I read that and I felt similar that there was something that was missing there. It was, it was great stories as you say, but how do we connect that? How do we apply that? And what's the root cause here? And how do we, this, there was just... That was missing from it. And maybe that should be his next book.   0:18:53.9 BB: Oh, enormously. But it's worth reading regardless.   0:18:57.3 AS: Yeah. Agreed.   0:19:00.1 BB: But I was, I was, I wasn't surprised. I'd say this. He honestly tried to offer a proposal, but I just looked at it and said, Professor Muller, you would just love it. In fact, I believe I reached out to him. I don't know that I heard from him. Alright, that's one book.   0:19:17.1 AS: That reminds me of what Dr. Deming said. "How would they know?"   0:19:21.3 BB: Exactly. Exactly.   0:19:22.4 AS: So if he hadn't been exposed to the System of Profound Knowledge...   0:19:25.3 BB: Oh, no. No, no, no.   0:19:25.7 AS: Then it would be hard to pull it all together. Yep. Okay.   0:19:28.8 BB: Yeah. So the next book, which is somewhere behind you in your bookshelf, is "The End of Average" by Todd...   0:19:36.8 AS: Actually, I don't think I have that one.   0:19:39.4 BB: By Todd Rose, who's a research fellow at Harvard. It's a riveting book. Oh, Andrew, you would absolutely love it. Just, he goes back ages. I mean, hundreds of hundreds of years and looks at how lost we became... How lost civilizations were dealing with trying to make, deal with averages. And the book opens with the most riveting story. And I started reading this and immediately I started thinking, "Okay, okay, okay, okay." And I figured it out. So in the opening paragraph, he says, In one day in 1949, there were 17 military planes crashed. In one day. 17 military planes crashed in one day. And this was... It would have been after the Air Force separated from the Army Air Corps. And so I started thinking, okay, late '40s, planes are going faster. The US industry has German technology, and... Because the Germans had jet engines in the late '40s. So I'm thinking it's about speed. It's about something about speed, something about speed. And there's more and more planes flying.   0:21:06.6 BB: So they grounded the fleet. They had a major investigation, brought in this young guy as a data researcher. And he passed away a few years ago, I did some research with him recently. And what he found was the cockpits were designed, you're writing, Andrew, for the average size pilots. Everything in the cockpit was fixed for the average arm length, the average hand length, the average finger length, the average height, the... Everything about... All these measurements on the torso, the cockpit had, everything was fixed. And that's exactly what I thought was going on. As the planes are going faster and faster, reaction times need to be faster and faster. And they're not. So his research was, they went off and measured thousands of pilots and found out that there was no pilot met the average.   0:22:11.2 AS: Oh, God.   0:22:11.3 BB: And the conclusion was... And again, until the plane started flying faster, that was not an issue. And that's what I was thinking with all my training in problem solving, decision making, what is going on there? What is going on there? And that's what changes the... I mean, the speed was accelerating, but compounded by the fixed geometry. So the solution by the government Pentagon, to the contractors was, add flexibility to the cockpit, allow the seat to move up and down, and then the auto industry picked up on that evidently. And so this is one example of how a fixation on average and a number of other stories outside of engineering it's just fascinating.   0:23:01.4 AS: Let me just summarize. The End of Average by Todd Rose. And it was published in about 2016. It's got a 4.5 out of 5 review on Amazon with 1,000 ratings and has a very high for Goodreads review of about 4.1. So I'm definitely getting that one. I don't have it and I'm buying it.   0:23:22.1 BB: Yeah. And it's again, he, I believe in there he offers what we should do instead, which again, I think would be, benefit from an understanding of SoPK. And so, again, for the Deming enthusiast, there is stuff in those two books, which you'll just love. And the third book came out at, I think, 2020 during the pandemic, The Tyranny of Merit, that tyranny word again, by Michael Sandel from Harvard. And I believe we've spoken about him before. And it's the tyranny of meritocracy, which is the belief that I achieved my success all by myself. I earned the grade all by myself. Everything I've done, I've done all by myself. There is no greater system. And I've written... In fact I sent an email to Michael Sandel complimenting him for the book and trying to point out that everything he's talking about fits in very well with Deming's work and that the issues are bigger than that.   0:24:34.4 BB: And I have not yet heard back, but he's a busy guy. But those three books are I would say, must reads. Then I go on to say that, because I used earlier that Dr. Deming talked about we are living under the tyranny of the prevailing style of management. So then I looked. I wanted to, so what exactly is this tyranny stuff? I mean, I'm so used to the word, so I wanted to go back and get a definition. "Tyranny is often synonymous with cruelty and oppression." And I said, that's... Yeah. Yeah. Oh, absolutely. All right.   0:25:26.4 BB: So, next, I wanna talk about... In previous podcasts I talked about work at Rocketdyne, what we called an... In the beginning it was called A Thinking Roadmap. And then as we got turned on to thinking about thinking, we changed that to An InThinking Roadmap. And that constituted roughly 220 hours of training over a dozen or so courses. So we had a one day class in Edward de Bono's Six Thinking Hats, a one day class in his, in other, actually two days in some of his other. So anyways, we had a number of courses on de Bono's work. I had a 40-hour intro course to Taguchi methods and a 40-hour advanced class in Dr. Taguchi's work. We had a 9-hour session called Understanding Variation. We had a things we were trained in that were developed by others, and then things we designed ourselves.   0:26:36.6 BB: And in the courses are tools and techniques. So tools are a cell phone, a slide rule, a computer. And the technique is how do we use it? And they provide what Ackoff would call efficiency, but also a number of these courses were inspired by Dr. Deming and Russ Ackoff were about improving effectiveness. And I got into concepts and strategies. And then what I wanted to mention that I don't think I've mentioned before is the whole concept of an InThinking Roadmap, and in this thinking about our thinking, which is a big part of the theme for tonight is, as that was inspired by, in the early '90s, Rockwell, Rocketdyne was then part of Rockwell, every division of Rockwell had a technology roadmap. And that had to be presented to higher and higher levels.   0:27:33.3 BB: What technologies are developing? What's the roadmap? And so more and more and more I heard this tech roadmap, tech roadmap. And then with colleagues, we started thinking about thinking, we thought, we need to have a thinking roadmap to combine with the technology roadmap. So the technology roadmap is gonna be helping us enormously in terms of efficiency, but not effectiveness. And I thought to integrate those two is quite powerful, which is, again another reminder of why Dr. Deming's work is a brilliant foundation for the use of technology. Otherwise, what you end up doing in a non-Deming company is with a cell phone you can increase the speed of blame.   0:28:21.4 BB: All right. So then I went back since last time I did some more research into transformation and came up with some great thoughts from Russ Ackoff. Again, our dear friend Russ Ackoff. And this is from an article that Russ wrote on transformations. And he says, "transformation is not only require recognition of the difference between what is practiced and what is preached. He says a transformation called four years ago by Donald Schön in his book Beyond the Stable State," and this is a 1991 book, he said, "it requires a transformation in the way we think.”  “Einstein," Russ says "put it powerfully and succinctly." He says, "without changing our patterns of thought, we'll not be able to solve the problems we created with our current pattern of thought."   0:29:08.2 BB: Russ continues. "I believe the pattern of thought that is required is systemic. It is difficult if at all possible to reduce the meaning of systemic thinking to a brief definition. Nevertheless, I try. Systemic thinking," again from Russ, "is holistic versus reductionist, synthetic versus analytic. Reductionist and analytic thinking derived properties from the whole, from the parts, from the properties of their parts. Holistic and synthetic thinking derived properties of parts, from the property of the whole that contains them." So I thought it was neat to go back and look at that. And then I want, more from Russ. "A problem never exists in isolation. It's surrounded by other problems in space and time. The more of a context of a problem that a scientist can comprehend, the greater are his chances of truly finding an adequate solution."   0:30:11.4 BB: And then, and so when I was going through this over the last few days, thinking, boy, I wish Dr. Deming defined transformation, it would've been, if he had an operational definition. But I thought, but wait a minute. 'Cause part of what I'm finding is, in my research, an article I came across years ago, Leading Change in the Harvard Business Review, a very popular article, 1995, by John Kotter, Why Transformations Fail. So Kotter uses that word and the title is Leading Change: Why Transformations Fail. And he is got establishing... Eight steps of transformation. "Establishing a sense of urgency, forming a powerful guiding coalition, creating a vision, communicating the vision, empowering others to act on the vision, planning for, and creating short-term wins." And under that step, Andrew, he's got a couple of steps, I'd like to get your thoughts on. One is "recognizing and rewarding employees involved in the improvements." So I thought, but of course this is transformation in the realm of the prevailing system of management. And so what that got me... Tossed around on it. I thought, well, wait a minute. There's a bunch of words that Dr. Deming uses that others use, but we know they mean something different. So Dr. Deming...   0:31:56.6 AS: Like I'm thinking, improvement is what he may be talking about.   0:32:02.4 BB: Well, but Dr. Deming talks about teamwork and the need to work together. Everybody talks about that.   0:32:08.1 AS: Yep.   0:32:09.2 BB: But just that we know, in a non-Deming environment, it's about managing actions, completing those tasks in isolation. I can meet requirements minimally, hand off to you, and that in a non-Deming environment, we call teamwork. So what I was thinking is, well, it's not that we need a new, 'cause I was even thinking, maybe we need a new word. Maybe in the Deming community, we should stop using the word transformation and come up with another word. Well, the trouble is, there's a whole bunch of other words that we use from teamwork to work together, to leader, quality. We talk about performance. We talk about root cause versus root causes. We talk about system. And so it's not that we need a new word, we need a new foundation. And that goes back to this notion as you read The New Economics or Out of the Crisis, you're hearing words that Dr. Deming uses that others use like John Kotter, but they're not used in the same context.   0:33:26.2 AS: How would you wrap up the main points you want people to take away from this discussion about transformation?   0:33:38.1 BB: Big thing is, we are talking about transformation. We are talking about seeing with new eyes, hearing with new ears. So the seeing, we talked about last time, is it's not just the systems. We're seeing systems differently. We're seeing variation differently. We're thinking differently about people and what motivates them and inspires them. The psychology piece, the theory of knowledge piece, we're challenging what we know. And then we have to think about all those interactions between two of them, between three of them, between four of them. And so I'd say that it's, the essence is transformation is essential. It is about rethinking our thinking. And I just wanna leave with two quotes. One fairly recent, one a little older. And the first quote, the more recent one from Tom Johnson, "How the world we perceive works depends upon how we think. The world we perceive," Andrew "is a world we bring forth through our thinking."   0:34:44.9 BB: That's H. Thomas Johnson, a dear friend in his 1999 book, Profit Beyond Measure. And my advice to people in reading that book is, do not attempt to read it laying down in bed. It's just, now you can read those other books we talked earlier. I think you can read those lying in bed. But Tom is very pithy. You wanna be wide awake. The last quote I wanna leave is from William James, born in 1842, died in 1910. He was an American philosopher, psychologist, and the first educator to offer a psychology course in the US. He is considered to be a leading thinker of the late 19th century, the father of American psychology, one of the elements of Profound Knowledge. And his quote that I wanna leave you with, Andrew is, "The greatest discovery of my generation is that human beings can alter their lives by altering their attitudes of mind."   0:35:45.2 AS: Whoa. Well, Bill, what an ending. On behalf of everyone at The Deming Institute, I want to thank you again for the discussion. For listeners, remember to go to deming.org to continue your journey. And if you want to keep in touch with Bill, just find him on LinkedIn. This is your host, Andrew Stotz, and I'll leave you with my favorite quote from Dr. Deming. "People are entitled to joy in work."  

If you're listening to this podcast, chances are you've heard stories about the CIA's experiments with drugs, particularly LSD, during the infamous MKUltra program. But you may not know that the characters involved in that dubious effort connect to one of the 20th Century's most famous and revered scientists, the anthropologist Margaret Mead. Shane Harris talked with historian Benjamin Breen about this new book, Tripping on Utopia, which tells the story of how Mead and her close circle launched a movement to expand human consciousness, decades before the counterculture of the 1960s popularized, and ultimately stigmatized, psychedelic drugs. Mead and Gregory Bateson--her collaborator and one-time husband--are at the center of a story that includes the WWII-era Office of Strategic Services, a shady cast of CIA agents and operatives, Beat poets, and the pioneers of the Information Age. Psychedelics are having a renaissance, with federal regulators poised to legalize their use - Breen's book is an engrossing history that explores the roots of that movement and how it influenced and collided with the U.S. national security establishment. Books, movies, and other points of interest discussed in this conversation include: Tripping on Utopia: Margaret Mead, the Cold War, and the Troubled Birth of Psychedelic Science by Benjamin Breen Tripped: Nazi Germany, the CIA, and the Dawn of the Psychedelic Age by Norman Ohler MKUltra The intelligence community's research on “truth drugs” The Manchurian Candidate The Good Shepherd Poisoner in Chief: Sidney Gottlieb and the CIA Search for Mind Control by Stephen Kinzer The Men Who Stare at Goats by Jon Ronson Ghost Hunters: William James and the Search for Scientific Proof of Life After Death by Deborah Blum “Operation Delirium” by Raffi Khatchadourian in The New Yorker Also check out: Ben's website Ben's Substack Ben on Twitter Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/lawfare.

 In Part 2 of this interview with scholar, philosopher, and researcher Jean Houston, Ph.D.,  she shares her first meeting with American cultural anthropologist Margaret Mead, one of her early and most impactful mentors. Margaret considered Jean her “adopted daughter” and encouraged her to keep searching, keep understanding, keep putting pieces together to make some sense of it all. Mead was one of the early founders of Earth Day and taught Jean to keep reaching for solutions. Thorough this experience, Jean learned to produce extensive writing about the “new story of humanity” – she wrote books every month about history, culture, and possibilities. Jean talks today about how we can progress through community and cooperation and use our creativity to the fullest, by recognizing the good in one another. We can activate our innate genes as beings seeking constant growth and evolve to become higher humans as we visualize the possibilities and create the world we want. This is entelechy – it pushes us toward what humanity could be. Through her mentors and studies, Jean learned to observe and hone her particular awareness in a unique way of seeing people and raising them to their greatness. She worked for the UN and with many cultures throughout the world as well as working with Presidents including President Bill Clinton and President Jimmy Carter. Today we are asked to consider, “What does a world that works look like?”  New science, quantum physics, and relational science teach that there is unity and oneness. We can experience the evolution of the human race, activate the genes of the higher human, and witness the possible human. Jean paints an image of what our possible world could look like, by seeing the possibility in other people. Jean believes we are in a renaissance period now and although we've experienced the pandemic, wars, and scenes of outrage, we've also seen the linking of hearts, which is indeed the gestation period of a New Humanity. People want peace worldwide. We can do this by accessing the very depths of the human spirit which is available to all of us by seeing the very best in one another. This is the second of a two-part discussion. Info: JeanHouston.com.

The twentieth century was something, wasn't it? Margaret Mead, as well as her onetime-husband Gregory Bateson, managed to play roles in several of its key developments: social anthropology and its impact on sex & gender mores, psychedelic drugs and their potential use for therapeutic purposes, and the origin of cybernetics, to name a few. Benjamin Breen discusses this impactful trajectory in his new book, Tripping on Utopia: Margaret Mead, the Cold War, and the Troubled Birth of Psychedelic Science. We talk about Mead and Bateson, the early development of psychedelic drugs, and how the possibility of a realistic utopia didn't always seem so far away.Blog post with transcript: https://www.preposterousuniverse.com/podcast/2024/02/26/267-benjamin-breen-on-margaret-mead-psychedelics-and-utopia/Support Mindscape on Patreon.Benjamin Breen received his Ph.D. in history from the University of Texas at Austin. He is currently an associate professor of history at the University of California, Santa Cruz. Among his awards are the National Endowment for the Humanities Award for Faculty and the William H.

Emma Stone is nominated for an Oscar for her starring role in Poor Things. She spoke with Terry Gross about the film and her relationship to her anxiety. David Bianculli reviews Ryan Murphy's FX anthology series Feud: Capote vs. The Swans. Also, Benjamin Breen talks about his book, Tripping on Utopia: Margaret Mead, the Cold War, and the Troubled Birth of Psychedelic Science. It's about the pioneering work anthropologists Margaret Mead and Gregory Bateson did on the use of psychedelics as a way to expand consciousness, and how that later connected to government research on the use of psychedelics as a weapon.

You may have heard about the pioneering research of anthropologist Margaret Mead, but do you know about her work with psychedelics? Mead and her husband, Gregory Bateson, thought psychedelics might reshape humanity by expanding consciousness. We'll speak with author Benjamin Breen about that research and how it led to the CIA's secret experiments in the '50s and '60s, using psychedelics in interrogation. He also shares with us details about a NASA-funded experiment to try to get dolphins to talk by giving them LSD. His book is Tripping on Utopia.Also, John Powers reviews the Apple TV+ series Criminal Record.

For most of human history, teenagers have been lumped in with children or with adults, depending on which way was most convenient at the time. People between the ages of 13 and 19 didn't become "teenagers" until the 20th century. In this episode, I talk about: how the Classical writers defined the difference between childhood and youth/adolescence how important it was for girls of that age to maintain virginity or marry, nothing in between how in 1904 an American psychologist informed us that adolescence was a time of "storm and stress" how the invention of the high school and the car allowed young people to develop a shared culture around dating, dancing, movies, slang, and personal appearance how Margaret Mead informed the West that "storm and stress" was the result of Western culture and chastity requirements, not an inherent part of the adolescence and how the post World War II culture in the West became increasingly dominated by teenagers (a word that only became common in this period).

Hosts Kate Ellis and Doris Tulifau explore the perils and possibilities of the kind of fieldwork that defined Margaret Mead as an anthropologist. They provide answers to the Mead-Freeman controversy but also ask the questions that remain.  In this season finale, we circle back to the problems with coming of age … in Samoa and everywhere. Season 6 of the SAPIENS podcast was co-produced by PRX and SAPIENS, and made possible by a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities.

In 1925, a young anthropologist named Margaret Mead traveled to Samoa to explore the impact of cultural factors on adolescent development. In her subsequent book Coming of Age in Samoa, Mead described teenagers who were free to explore and express their sexuality. The book struck a chord with readers in the U.S., became a bestseller, and Mead skyrocketed to fame. But what were her actual methods and motivations? This episode traces Mead's legendary nine-month stay in the South Pacific.

We turn from Margaret Mead's and Derek Freeman's conflicting accounts of adolescence and sexuality in Samoa to more stories from Samoans themselves.  Author and poet Sia Figiel and activist and anthropologist Doris Tulifau are two Samoan women from different generations. Yet they share a bond and have a similar experience of terrible violence and survival.  They bravely give us a glimpse into the dynamics of power within sexuality and their heartfelt journey of reclaiming it. Season 6 of the SAPIENS podcast was co-produced by PRX and SAPIENS, and made possible by a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities.

Once Jay Kholos sold the show to various radio stations, it was generally up to those stations to sell the show to sponsors. In New York, The Zero Hour was running on WRVR 106.7-FM. WRVR-FM was initially a public radio station owned and operated by The Riverside Church in New York. It began broadcasting on January 1st, 1961. The Riverside Church, located in Morningside Heights, is an interdenominational, interracial, and international church, and has long been a center of activism and social justice. WRVR was the first station to win a Peabody for its entire programming, in part for its documentary coverage of the civil rights movement in Birmingham in 1963. In addition to religious and philosophical discussions with Riverside clergy and theologians, WRVR programming included addresses by political and cultural leaders, like Indira Gandhi, Aldous Huxley, John F. Kennedy, and Margaret Mead. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his pivotal “Beyond Vietnam” speech at the Riverside Church over WRVR-FM on April 4th, 1967. The station also featured the heralded weekly program Just Jazz with Ed Beach. In September 1971, WRVR went commercial and shifted to a news format, with the exception of Just Jazz, which continued until 1973. By then, WRVR was experimenting with radio drama in both golden age and new time productions. On September 4th, 1973, part two of The Zero Hour's “Wife of the Red-Haired Man” took to the air. Radio legend Mary Jane Croft, who was also the wife of Elliott Lewis, was featured in this episode. Years later, she spoke to SPERDVAC about her radio career and late husband. In September of 1973, WRVR was advertising a World Hockey Association exhibition matchup which featured legends Gordie Howe and Bobby Hull. The New York Raiders and later The Golden Blades were intended to be the upstart WHA's flagship franchise. They were, however, unable to compete with the NHL's New York Rangers and the expansion New York Islanders. After just two seasons, The Golden Blades moved to San Diego. The WHA folded after eight years in 1979 with four teams: The Edmonton Oilers, Hartford Whalers, Quebec Nordiques, and Winnipeg Jets, joining the NHL.

After Derek Freeman publishes Margaret Mead and Samoa: The Making and Unmaking of an Anthropological Myth, the controversy heats up. Op-eds, documentaries, censure by a leading anthropological organization, and even a debate on the Phil Donahue Show all follow.  Was Margaret Mead, “the grandmother of the world,” wrong? Or was Freeman?  At stake was the heart of an academic discipline and the nature of being human. Mead's own daughter, Mary Catherine Bateson, launches a defense, and other anthropologists weigh in too. Season 6 of the SAPIENS podcast was co-produced by PRX and SAPIENS, and made possible by a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities.

The first missionary arrived in Samoa in 1832, almost a century before Margaret Mead set out to study the culture of the islands. By the time she arrived, the church had been a central part of Samoan life for generations. In this episode, Doris Tulifau explores how Christianity and colonization complicate Mead's—and her critic Derek Freeman's—conclusions and continue to shape Samoan identity today. Season 6 of the SAPIENS podcast was co-produced by PRX and SAPIENS, and made possible by a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities.

In January 1983, the front page of The New York Times read: “New Samoa Book Challenges Margaret Mead's Conclusions.”  Anthropologist Derek Freeman had been building his critique of Mead for years, sending her letters and even confronting her in person. Freeman's resulting book, Margaret Mead and Samoa: The Making and Unmaking of an Anthropological Myth, was published five years after Mead died.  Who was Freeman and why did he take such issue with Mead's work in American Samoa? Season 6 of the SAPIENS podcast was co-produced by PRX and SAPIENS, and made possible by a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities.

Sparked by a provocative encounter in American Samoa, Doris Tulifau explores modern-day Samoan attitudes toward Margaret Mead. With a mix of voices and opinions, we encounter three loud ideas around Mead's work, ultimately dropping us at the doorstep of Derek Freeman's central critique about Samoan culture and society. Season 6 of the SAPIENS podcast was co-produced by PRX and SAPIENS, and made possible by a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities.

Ruth Fulton Benedict was one of the first women to become really prominent in the field of anthropology.

In this special episode, Dinesh discusses the fundamental question of male and female with Senator Josh Hawley, author of the new book “Manhood.” Dinesh also invokes anthropologist Margaret Mead and evolutionary biology to examine the meaning of sexuality in the larger scheme of human history and human survival.  Dinesh also continues his discussion of “materialism” and whether there is room in our material bodies for that immaterial object called the soul.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
