We've been taught to believe that myths are untrue, yet this indicates how atrophied our cultural mythic imagination is. As a result, myth has been relegated to consumer entertainment or dismissed as irrelevant to us vs. a potent way to more deeply understand ourselves in reciprocal relationships with others and the world. Ours is a fact-based, linear, logical, and control-based culture that doesn't allow much room to follow the deep longing to know ourselves, and yet the longing persists and will continue to persist until we answer its call. Perhaps this time in our human evolution represents a heightened collective calling - can we answer it? In this episode, Ian and I talk about where we are as a culture and Ian's hope for awakening men worldwide. Ian became fascinated by the mythic masculine archetype when he initially learned more about the feminine through his film work. Ian was estranged from his grandfather growing up, but he went with his uncle to clean out his grandfather's home and came across a stack of books after his death. On top was "Iron John" by Robert Bly, which piqued his curiosity. When young men are not correctly initiated into adulthood and society, they become men at the mercy of their ego and are suspended as "boy-men" in our culture. The Dominator Culture is a term coined by Riane Eisler, who wrote The Chalice and The Blade. Eisler positions the dominator model in contrast to the partnership model, a more egalitarian structure of society founded on mutual respect among its inhabitants. In dominator culture, men rule over women, whereas partnership culture values men and women equally. An awakened archetypical mother is a mighty force in the world. Women tend to enact violence against themselves and Men against others. The narratives we often create are that the world is out to get us, that we need to conquer nature or anything threatening. The medical establishment creates a narrative around "war" - such as terms like "frontline workers" or "losing the battle to cancer," and there is a consequence to thinking about nature in this way. Our colonized view of the world keeps us from reciprocally engaging with life. The solutions mind is a colonized mind.

From the desert of Burning Man to the heart of Occupy Wall St, he has sought and amplified the voices of visionaries, artists, and activists working toward planetary system change.

Ian joins me to discuss the backpacker "gap year" and the lack of initation for young men and women, the difference between a tourist and a traveller, the theatre that the tourist industry creates for tourists, what it means to be a guest, creating ritual space, and Joseph Campbell's "hero's journey."

Occupy Wall Street 10th Anniversary & the False Reconstruction of IED Iran Demonizing to Falsely Rationalize Soleimani Assassination Special guest, author and award winning investigative journalist Dave Lindorff joins Bringing Light Into Darkness tonight to address the excessive repression and violence that went largely unreported in the suppression of the two month long Occupy Wall Street (OWS) peaceful protests of ten years ago that called out the economic policies of our country and its history which have unfairly benefitted the richest "one percent" at the direct cost to the 99% and have framed the public dialogue to avoid acknowledging and examining this profound contradiction to liberty, democracy and the pursuit of happiness. The contradiction of the US having the most unequal wealth of the advanced OECD nations, along with the highest poverty and child poverty rates is juxtaposed with the fact that we are the wealthiest nation, materially speaking, of the world. We review articles written by our guest on the subject, including his 9/15/2021 piece, 10 Years on — How Occupy Wall Street Ended: Clampdown by Obama that Trump Emulated. We also review the focus of a 2/13/2007 piece he wrote on Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs), Iran Charges: Lying White House and Credulous Media by Dave Lindorff (source: opednews.com) and the false image making that sought to portray Iran as their major manufacturers and reason so many Americans were dying and getting severely injured in the Iraq post invasion setting. It also has recently been reconstituted to ‘justify' the assassination of General Qasem Soleimani in January 2020 rather than considering the argument that it was a result of state terrorism by the US government. We discuss what other motives were more likely responsible for his assassination and let you decide. We review Lindorff's claim that there was a White House led nationally coordinated campaign to disrupt and crush the Occupy Movement. What type and to what degree was the repression of Occupy Wall Street that resulted in some 7000 arrests? Why did the press fail to report this with accuracy and why and how was many of the press kept from covering OWS repression? When peaceful protest can be so violently repressed, as our guest describes, yet there is no reporting of the techniques used by the Obama administration for us to learn from what does that say about democracy and dissent in the USA?

Amy Littlefield, abortion access correspondent for The Nation, speaks about her recent coverage of SB 8, Texas legislation that eliminates abortion protections for women and creates a system of citizen bounty hunters who can sue women for getting abortions. She talks about how this affects other states and how soon we might see Roe v. Wade overturned.

As we approach the 10th anniversary of Occupy Wall St., it's important to look at the lessons we learned from the movement. Lee Camp interviews Monty Pinger. He is one of the lead organizers of the campaign to free the climate activist Jessica Reznicek.

While everyone is arguing the surface issues (support for lockdowns, vaccine passports, illegal playgrounds, protests) we are ignoring the underlying warring perspectives. When people claim 'I have human rights that no law can abridge' they are appealing to a Natural Justice perspective, which has informed much of our historical development in the West - certainly in the field of human rights. Modern human rights stances can be traced to Thomas Aquinas, and his ideas underpin everything from Occupy Wall St protests to Black Lives Matter protests and now to the anti Lockdown protests and anti vaccine passport protests. Even though politically disparate, they all rely on a Natural Justice narrative. When people claim 'I'm just following orders/doing my job' they are appealing to a Positive Justice perspective, which arose with Thomas Hobbes and his ideas of 'Social Contract Theory'. Jeremy Bentham furthered Hobbes' work on Positive Justice (and hatred of Natural Justice) in setting our culture of government surveillance, fines, community policing one other, and Chief Health Officer directives. This momentum of replacing Natural Justice with Positive Justice is seen in our legal systems where legislation increasingly usurps common law and politicians, media and voters all clamour to 'create a new law' to fix the latest problem. It is also mirrored in economics where the well accepted ideas of Adam Smith (supply vs demand etc) are replaced with Modern Monetary Theory and various other ideas with inductive reasoning. It is further mirrored in the decentralisation of truth ('your' truth), gender and race identification by intent only, moral relativism and other movements which seek to 'create' rather than 'discover'. Not that Positive Justice is wrong, or doesn't deserve a place at the table, but we must be aware of the underlying friction to understand why people are so partisan on human rights, lockdowns, mandatory vaccinations etc. --------------------------------- Watch this episode on Youtube: https://youtu.be/GT6lQLeHGCY NB: for the purposes of this brief and narrow explainer video, histories and details have been compressed and narrowed and I fully acknowledge the unexplored depths of Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, Cicero, Aquinas, Hobbes, Bentham, Locke and Smith.

How Vlad made his way into the world of startups and how the "Occupy Wall St" movement spurned much of the inspiration for the founding moment of Robinhood? 2.) Looking back over the last month, does Vlad believe Robinhood is a victim or an enabler of the crisis? What does Vlad believe upset customers the most? With the benefit of hindsight, what would Vlad have done differently? What does Vlad believe are some of the biggest misconceptions about how the last few weeks played out? 3.) Funding: Why did Robinhood need the scale of funding that it took, so fast? What are the capital requirements for a business like Robinhood? Who regulates their compliance? Was Robinhood forced to put the interests of the business ahead of the interests of their customers? Why does VAR need to be changed as a risk estimation mechanism? 4.) What has Vlad learned as CEO about managing through a crisis? What did Vlad do to ensure morale remained high internally, despite the external events? What works? What does not work? What did Vlad learn about himself through the experience of the congressional committee and testifying before them? As always you can follow Harry and The Twenty Minute VC on Twitter here!

Change, Values, Purpose, Leadership, Movements   Summary   What does it take to create and sustain transformational change? We'll look at that in our Thought of the Day. And in our interview segment, we'll have a discussion with the author of a magnificent book on that very topic. That and more on today's show.   Bob's Thought of the Day   We'll explore:   Why we must never stop looking for ways to better the world. What it takes to do so: creating a plan, executing that plan, and implementing the correct strategies and tactics.   Interview with Greg Satell   You'll discover:   Lessons about creating transformational change from two movements: one that failed (Occupy Wall St.), and one that succeeded (Otpor). The importance of using humor to dispel tension. Why you must reach out to those outside your movement, and welcome those who wish to join you. A key for creating impact: small groups loosely connected, united by a shared purpose. That violence doesn't work in terms of winning over the masses.. What we can learn from two of the most notable transformational changes in modern history, Mahatma Gandhi's leading of the Indian independence movement, and the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s leading of the civil rights movement.  The immense, game-changing importance of communicating shared values.    10 Principles for Transformational Change    Revolutions don't begin with a slogan. They begin with a cause. The vision always needs to be rooted in solving problems people genuinely care about. That's why you can't bribe or coerce change. Once you start trying to engineer change through incentives, you are signaling that this is a change that people don't really want to make.    Transformation fails because people oppose it, not because people don't understand it. For any significant change, there are going to be some people who aren't going to like it and they are going to undermine it in ways that are dishonest, underhanded, and deceptive. That is your primary design constraint. Change of any kind threatens the status quo, which never yields its power gracefully.    Be explicit about your values. Values represent constraints and constraints bring meaning and credibility. A movement without values is nothing more than a mob.    Resist the urge to engage those who attack and undermine you. In fact, as a general rule, you should avoid them until you have gained significant momentum. It will only frustrate you and slow you down.    Focus on building local majorities. You want to be continually expanding your majorities within communities and clusters. When you go outside your majority, however, you get pushback. Stay on the inside pushing out.    Shift from differentiating values to shared values. Differentiating values are what make people passionate about an idea, but shared values create entry points for people to join your cause. You overcome your opposition by listening and identifying shared values in what they say that can be leveraged to attract others to your cause.    Mobilize people to influence institutions. Every action has a purpose. You are always mobilizing someone to influence something. For everything you do, you ask who are we mobilizing and to influence what?    Scale change through empowerment. Instead of trying to get people to do what you want, find people who want what you want and give them resources to help them take action. It is through taking action, not taking orders, that people take ownership of the movement and make it their own.    Survive victory. The victory phase is the most dangerous phase. You need to think about how to “survive victory” from the start. It's not enough to make a point, you have to want to make a difference.    Transformation is always a journey, never a particular destination. The most important thing you can do to bring change about is simply to get started. If not now, when? If not you, who?  Click to Tweet   “The first step to building a platform for change is making people feel comfortable.” Greg Satell @Digitaltonto #change On this episode, discover a key element for creating change and impact: “Small groups, loosely connected, but united by a shared purpose.” @Digitaltonto #purpose “You get to the shared values by listening to your most ardent opponents.” Greg Satell @Digitaltonto #values   Interview Links   GregSatell.com Cascades: How to Create a Movement that Drives Transformational Change by Greg Satell Mapping Innovation: A Playbook for Navigating a Disruptive Age by Greg Satell DigitalTonto.com Greg's Speaking page Greg's Resources Connect with Greg on LinkedIn Connect with Greg on Facebook Follow Greg on Twitter Greg's YouTube channel   Resources   Endless Referrals: The Go-Giver Way  Order The Go-Giver Order The Go-Giver Leader Order The Go-Giver Influencer GoGiverSalesAcademy.com Endless Referrals: The Go-Giver Way 2-Day Workshop TheGoGiver.com GoGiverSpeaker.com Burg.com  How to Post a Review

From its birth in one block in New York City to more than a thousand town squares, the conversation began ten years ago. It was the first social media driven movement and as Heather McKee Hurwitz writes in her new The post Occupy Wall St. 2011 Was Just The Start appeared first on Keeping Democracy Alive.

David Graeber is well known for his role in jump-starting the 2011 Occupy Wall St. and “the 99% percent” movement.  He died at the age of 59 on September, 2nd.  He was a professor of anthropology at the London School of Economics, an anarchist activist, and the author of Debt: The First 5000 Years, and The Utopia of Rules.  In 2018 he wrote Bullshit Jobs: A Theory.  Host, Mitch Jeserich, was in conversation with David Graeber about that book two-years ago,  They discussed how the concept of time has evolved to be used to control the masses through hourly paid work and leads to the proliferation of unnecessary jobs. The post David Graeber Remembered: The Consequences of Unnecessary Jobs appeared first on KPFA.

In this episode, Carl speaks with Ian MacKenzie, host of the Mythic Masculine Podcast.  Ian MacKenzie is a filmmaker, speaker, and writer who lives on the Salish Sea with his partner and son.  His films include Lost Nation Road, Amplify Her, Sacred Economics, Prayer to the Earth, an Indigenous Response to These Times. For more than decade, Ian has been tracking the global emergence of new culture. From the desert of Burning Man to the heart of Occupy Wall St, he has sought and amplified the voices of visionaries, artists and activists who have been working toward planetary system change. In our conversation, we explore several of the rich themes that have woven through the conversations on the Mythic Masculine Podcast. We explore dynamics of power, and what can shift in the experience of masculine and feminine polarities outside of a power-over structure. We look at the loss of wildness, and the domestication that many modern men experience. We also speak about embodiment, ritual, and rites of passage.  We weave through many essential themes and inquires about what it means to be a man in these times.  For more information about Ian and his work you can visit ianmack.com or themythicmasculine.com

Death phobia as a sympton of a loss of real culture. How did things get as they are? Maybe the world has always been crazy! What is the point of humans? What is true culture, what is true village? I can do almost anything, but I cant do everything; Fatherhood, Love, Sexuality, and partnership. Im Looking at the same calamity from a differnet angle. Where do you want to be and who do you want to be with? The current economic system enforces greed and scarcity. Death phobia as a sympton of a loss of real culture. Modern culture thinks its sexuality liberated but its not. We speak on Tamera in Portugal; a community dedicated to truth and love. New paradigm visionary artist, filmmaker and creator and host of The Mythic Masculine and also a writer who lives on the Salish Sea with his partner and young son. For over 10 years, Ian has been tracking the global emergence of new culture. From the desert of Burning Man to the heart of Occupy Wall St, he has sought and amplified the voices of visionaries, artists and activists who have been working toward planetary system change. A filmmaker, writer, speaker, and facilitator most compelled by the intersection of eros, emergence, and village.

With the banning of Stephan Molyneaux by YouTube, a man with more than 1 million subscribers, we've reached the book burning stage of the U.S.'s Cultural Revolution and it's being televised in real time, no less. Gil Scott Heron was wrong. The problem is the real revolution we need won't be televised, it may not even happen until after we're plunged into a chaotic breakdown that was beautifully described in Christopher Nolan's 2012 film, The Dark Knight Rises.Recently I rewatched The Dark Knight Rises and it floored me with its prescience in predicting where we would head as the consequences of the false recovery post-Lehman Bros. and Occupy Wall St. would play out on the streets of the U.S. in 2020.And in doing so, I overcame a lot of my reservations about Nolan and his work after years of questioning his motives. So this week's cast is as much about my skepticism of Hollywood as it is about the work of a unique and talented artist's ability to 'get there first.'Show Notes:‘The God That Failed’: Why the U.S. Cannot Now Re-Impose Its Civilisational Worldviewhttps://www.strategic-culture.org/news/2020/06/29/god-that-failed-why-us-cannot-now-re-impose-its-civilisational-worldview/Can We Escape Control of The Wire?https://tomluongo.me/2018/11/18/can-we-escape-control-of-the-wire/Chris Nolan's Filmographyhttps://www.imdb.com/name/nm0634240/

Battered Souls #004 - The Great Letting Go with Patrick James Hennessey Patrick is the founder The LovEvolution Solution, and after playing a part in the Occupy Wall St. demonstrations in 2011 he has turned his attention to creating Sacred Waters Retreat Center as a place for community, connection and conversation. In addition to issues of consciousness and cultural awakening, as an entrepreneur he has a keen understanding of business and our current economic situation. In this talk we get into many of the dynamics involved in the Coronavirus pandemic the information war, finance, and especially how this calls us to let go and transform. He’s one of those people that prefers to think deeply and speak truth rather than engage in small talk, so enjoy this deep dive with Patrick. ———————————— Find Patrick at The LovEvolution Solution and Sacred Mountain Waters ———————————— Visit us on the web - Waking Times ———————————— Support Battered Souls with Cryptos!

Renowned and radical anthropologist David Graeber joins us for a conversation about time and how the concept of time has evolved to be used in order to control people through hourly paid jobs. Now many of those jobs are not even necessary for a functioning society. David Graeber, well known for his role in jump-starting the Occupy Wall St movement in 2011, is a professor of anthropology at the London School of Economics and the author of Bullshit Jobs: A Theory. The post The Rise of Meaningless, Unfulfilling Jobs, and their Consequences appeared first on KPFA.

Today my guest is Matt Pless, a punk/folk/protest musician that I first encountered at Occupy Wall St, which we reflect on a bit, in addition to the standard questions I get into with every musician. Like many other artists I've interviewed, it's a goddamned national tragedy that Matt isn't more widely known. https://www.mattpless.com/ From his bio: Combining elements of folk, punk, pop and rock, Matt Pless can lyrically turn a phrase with the best of them and has been compared to some of the preeminent songwriters of our time. A consummate performer with a high-energy stage presence, Matt Pless travels the road continuously entertaining and astounding his audiences. With guitar and harmonica as his tools of choice and words as his main characters, he has shared the stage with the likes of Maroon 5, Rilo Kiley, Alkaline Trio, Arlo Guthrie, Bad Brains, Fallout Boy, All Time Low and others. Matt’s extensive touring schedule has taken him to Europe, and across the U.S. multiple times playing venues from bars to boxcars and basements and everything in between...wherever there are people to hear his music. And almost anyone can relate to a Matt Pless song. His unique gift for writing lyrics and melodies that appeal to the core of the human condition is, like Matt himself, an experience.

Welcome to Finance and Fury, the Furious Friday edition Today we will be talking about conservatives and why they are not conserving anything anymore. In particular, the new form of conservatives the neo-con conservatives and the noble lie or the big lie. Remember the Occupy Wall St movements? And the population protesting the 1%? Some perspective is you were likely in the world’s 1%. The anger should have been directed towards the political systems that facilitated the behaviour that led to the GFC. Wrap up: Neocon Political ideology is framing policy to influence banking GFC initiated by past policies, like the Housing Urban Development Act in 1992 Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corp (Freddie Mac) loans 30% of loans to low income households Glass Steagall episode link Clinton Cash book Why am I talking about all this? Clear up some conceptions, which is the point of Friday episodes When people talk about today’s conservative politicians, there is a good chance they are neoconservatives What is conservatism? Political philosophy promotion traditional institutions in the context of culture and civilisation Who was Quinton Hogg? “Conservatism is not so much a philosophy as an attitude, a constant force, performing a timeless function in the development of a free society, and corresponding to a deep and permanent requirement of human nature itself" Conservatives morphed out of classical liberalism Neocon is named appropriately – the new con Trotsky and Stalin’s relationship and how communism operated in Russia The bitter infighting between socialists and communists Revolutions in feudal countries lead to capitalism What did Leo Strauss write in regards to Plato and the noble lie Plato turned the mythologies into a class system Introduce the neoconservatives in the 1960s, Irving Kristol the godfather of neoconservatism How does this change conservative values? What are the 2 Major Concerns? The neocapitalist and interventionalist foreign policy Neocapitalism – characterized by correcting the excesses by means of application of measures that guard over social well-being. This is part of the big lie High representation of Keynesian economists around politics What is Irving Kristol take on capitalism? It becomes a state monopoly capitalism – more money in politics means more influence in politics This policy just creates a concentration of companies resulting in monopolies There used to be 50 companies (1960s) that determined the distribution of information, now there are only 6 Interventionalist approach with international policy and war Permanent revolutions and pre-emptive war to achieve desired ends Protection of currency – the petrodollar episode link Occupation of other nations through military might and bases – this opposes neutrality History is a struggle for power: Any political organization the pursuit of power is the priority Principals of the party soon give way to principals of power Social life cannot dispense without organization In terms of representative democracy – how much participation do you have in the laws going into place? What is the totalitarian mill? Only power restrains power It seems like the power dynamic is increasing over time. The representative political system gives the people an illusion of control. This has been an explanation as to why supposed conservatives don’t act like it or use supply side economics. We will touch on this again next week when I cover Brexit, where the conservative party keeps pushing the British independence off. If you liked the episode, please review it and share it around.

This week on Human’s of Bitcoin, we sat down with the one and only Patrick Byrne, cryptocurrency enthusiast and CEO of Overstock.com. Patrick is an incredible human being. In addition to running a public company, he also has a PhD in philosophy, speaks multiple languages, has a black belt in Tae Kwon Do, and has a near photographic memory. A true renaissance man, we review his past, bitcoin and the current regulatory environment, as well as the projects his team at Medici ventures are working on. Here are some highlights of the discussion:   The “Dutch Uncle”   Patrick’s love for business can be traced back to two hour meetings he had with a special mentor when he was just 13.   That mentor was none other than famous investor Warren Buffett, who was a close family friend and someone who Patrick always thought was just some rich farmer from Omaha. He called him his “Dutch Uncle” because he wasn’t exactly family, but still had a major influence on his life. One of the lessons Buffett taught him was that you need the temperament to be patient enough to wait for the perfect opportunity. You may only need to make 10-20 big decisions in life, and when the timing is right you need to have the courage to swing for the fences. Buffett wanted Patrick to spend a year on Wall St., so he set him up with a friend of his at First Manhattan to learn how the game was played. This experience was Patrick’s first look at the inner workings of the financial system.   First Bitcoin Moment: After becoming CEO of Overstock.com, Patrick realized there was a crack in our financial infrastructure, and that a group of smart people had figured out a way to scheme the system for their own profits at the expense of the average citizen. He waged his own personal Occupy Wall St. movement, and was ostracized for speaking out against the nation’s power brokers. It was only after the 2008 crash that he felt vindicated for his remarks. Following the crash, Patrick randomly came across a Wired.com article about Bitcoin and realized someone had used cryptography to develop a new form of money that solved the “Byzantine General’s Problem” he had learned about in college. While others saw it as a means for speculation, he knew this new form of money could fix the issues he had witnessed first-hand during his time on Wall St. both as an analyst and as a CEO.   Regulation:   Wall St. was aware of the potential of Bitcoin as well, and the first few years of its existence were marred by smear campaigns which stigmatized cryptocurrencies as a tool for drug dealers and terrorists. However, Patrick believes that regulators are now seeing the bigger picture, and realizing the benefits of a blockchain based economy. He was able to meet with organizations like FINRA to show them how this technology could make their lives easier.   These meetings have shown him the government wants to adapt so they can be involved in the creation of regulation that allows blockchain innovation to flourish. He does not think they will try to stop the movement, and even if they wanted to, it’s already too late.   “Bigger than the Gutenberg Press” ⅔ of the world population doesn’t have access to records that allow them to prove ownership of their land. Patrick’s current project, Medici Ventures, is going into developing countries and helping local officials put land titles on the blockchain. In Zambia for example, they titled 50K homes in a pilot program and now they’re working with the government to put every home in the country on the blockchain as well. He thinks this project can change the lives of billions of people and will be more effective than simply handing out cash to those in need. Officials in Africa have taken notice, and countries like Bermuda are looking to implement his solution as well. 1000 years from now, he predicts the impact of the blockchain movement will be bigger than the Gutenberg Press and Internet because corrupt third parties will be replaced by governance systems based upon mathematics. Conclusion We are very grateful that Patrick took time out of his busy schedule to fill us in on all of these exciting things that he’s been working on. If you have any questions or comments about the topics we covered, don’t hesitate to reach out to us at Bitcoin.com/podcast.

Humanity has been divided and conquered. Here's a timeline to PROVE what's the root."For every thousand hacking at the branches of evil; there's ONE who strikes the root." HDTIs your favorite protest group hacking the branches or the root? Occupy Wall St. blames Wall St. and corporations as the root of all evil. The Tea Party blames progressives and big government as the root. Meanwhile, libertarians blame the Federal Reserve and paper money.
