Today we finish our discussion of Herbert Marcuse's "One-Dimensional Man", with focus on the last section of the book where he summarizes his argument for technical rationality and pacification of existence, among other things. We also talk a lot about consciousness believe it or not. Disclaimer: All opinions are our own and don't represent any institution we may or may not be a part of, respectively.

Hello, today we begin discussing Herbert Marcuse's "One-Dimensional Man", which you could say offers a critical critique of society in the mid 20th century. He's an avowed neo-marxist and historical materialist, and Antooshka can't quite figure out how to feel about him.

Dive into the profound philosophical insights of Herbert Marcuse in this podcast episode. From recognizing the strength of Marcuse's criticisms of post-enlightenment society to disenchanting his serious errors, this episode seeks to cover the major themes of Herbert Marcuse and his influence on the university system and American Marxism. Join us as we unravel the complexities of Marcuse's thought and its impact on contemporary discourse, and the ever growing embodiment of his proposed revolution. Sources:- America's Cultural Revolution: How the Radical Left Conquered Everything by Christopher Rufo- Herbert Marcuse on The Stanford Philosophical Encyclopedia {https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/marcuse/}- One Dimensional Man by Herbert Marcuse- Aesthetics of Liberation by Herbert Marcuse- Counter Revolution by Herbert Marcuse- Herbert Marcuse by The CollectorTimecode:0:00 - Introduction3:30 - Christopher Rufo 6:00 - The Importance of Marcuse10:30 - Our Hermeneutic 12:30 - Karl Marx and Georg Hegel19:55 - The Sophisticated Communist23:15 - The One Dimensional Man30:00 - The Two Dimensional Man34:20 - History Talks37:45 - The New Sensibility 41:10 - The Great Refusal43:15 - The Deconstruction of Society46:00 - The Ideological Revolution48:30 - The Christian Solution55:20 - The Unitive EventSupport the show

He is the author of numerous books, such as “The Philosophy Of Praxis: Marx, Lukács And The Frankfurt School” and most recently: “The Ruthless Critique of Everything Existing: Nature and Revolution in Marcuse's Philosophy of Praxis.”  In this podcast, we will be diving deep into the complexities of Herbert Marcuse, his philosophy, politics, his relation to the New Left, and the most misunderstood aspects of thought. This includes his relation to his biggest theoretical influences, namley Marx, Hegel, Freud, and Heidegger. Here, we will be getting into some of the more difficult aspects of Marcuse's philosophy. But we will start slowly, and it will be worth it.  This podcast aims to complement the recent 1Dime video on the thought of Herbert Marcuse and his book One-Dimensional Man on the 1Dime channel.

Why rebel against mass society? Let me count the ways! 

Veteran Et Cetera features on this episode "One Dimensional Veteran"  audio essay.  The way of the Veteran is not easy. Are we programmed to be just one way as we readjust to society? Or do we get wrapped up with the commodity of our Veteran media presence?  This essay engages three pieces influential in mass culture: the book The Man in the Gray Flannel Suit (1955) by Sloan Wilson , the academic cultural studies piece One Dimensional Man by Herbert Marcuse (1964), and the Academy Award winning movie The Hurt Locker (2008). Where can we find the Veteran in these three pieces? One Dimensional Man by Herbert Marcusehttps://www.marcuse.org/herbert/pubs/64onedim/odmcontents.htmlThe Man in the Gray Flannel Suit by Sloan Wilsonhttps://youtu.be/FP7FCOzREY8The Hurt Locker by Kathryn Bigelowhttps://youtu.be/Jc_h1ufAXYs Follow Mike on his LinkedIn pageFollow Mike on Instagram @mikekimveteranSearch for Mike on Facebook @MikeKimVeteranSearch for Mike at #mikekimveteran or Google him at "Mike Kim Veteran"Email Mike at agathoskim@gmail.comGet the ammo you need to seize your day at Soldier Girl CoffeeVisit our webpage at cominghomewell.comInterested in sponsoring our podcasts email us at cominghomewell@gmail.comFollow us on our socialsYouTube @cominghomewellmilitaryInstagram @cominghomewellorganizationFacebook at Coming Home WellLinkedIn at Coming Home WellTwitter @ComingHomeWellThank you for listening!

100th EPISODE ALERT! We know the attention grabbing headline spun you

 https://www.letusthinkaboutit.com/step-63-the-one-dimensional-man Part 1: Captialism absorbs everything: even your rebellion against it becomes a published book, which feeds capitalism, and generates pro-capitalists books. In a dynamic system, each tactic has a counter, and this generates (cleverly) more capitalism. A famous example is of Che Guevara's rebellion sold as a cheap t-shirt: a purchasable identity of rebellion. Part 2: The On-dimensional man is a book by Herbert Marcuse in the mid-60's about our wealthy industrial nation orienting citizens into consumerism by developing “false needs” which we pursue. This drains our energy for cognitive activity as well as our desire for rebellion, which is channeled back into social status through material goods. This is a tactic of control by the affluent (the 1%) who increase luxury and comfort only to pair it up with increased exploitation. The dynamic of flattening values to a universal is that we no longer have polarity or dialectic controversy, which is the ultimate form of control. Marcuse says we don't even question “technological rationality” anymore. Part 3: Cybernetics is a theory of how systems moderate themselves, taking in feedback and adjusting. Philosophers use these ideas to discuss capitalism in terms of “negatives” and “positives”: the negatives are the check valves or regulating systems that contain or diffuse the positive energy that can get out of control and break things. Deleuze and Guattari refer to the negatives as “territorialization”, such as a fence or limit, and the positives are efforts to “deterritorialize”. Mark Fisher says capitalism now instantly reterritorializes deterritorialization. This is just some vocabulary to help us move forward. 0:00 Intro 1:46 Part 1 capitalist absorption 3:39 Part 2 the one-dimensional man 7:20 Part 3 cybernetic systems theory 10:11 Outro

The New Discourses Podcast with James Lindsay, Episode 62 Intersectionality is usually credited to Kim Crenshaw, who coined the term as well as "Critical Race Theory" in 1989. It has an older history, however. Listeners to the New Discourses Podcast will have heard earlier episodes in which James Lindsay articulates how intersectionality arose from the Critical Marxist Theory of Herbert Marcuse in the late 1960s, but there's another link in the middle of the twenty-five year span between 1964, when Marcuse wrote One-Dimensional Man (https://amzn.to/3pXrjhK), and 1989. That link can be found in the Black Feminist organization known as the Combahee River Collective, which published a manifesto-like statement in 1977 that lays out intersectionality 12 years before Crenshaw ever wrote about it. In the Combahee River Collective Statement of 1977 (https://www.workers.org/wp-content/uploads/CombaheeRiverCollectiveStatement1977.pdf), then, we can find the first articulation of what intersectionality is really about and see unambiguously its deep Marxist roots, cementing the claim that it is, in fact, Identity Marxism. Join James on this episode of the New Discourses Podcast to hear the statement in his signature style.

American conservatives rarely read or engage with leftist thought outside of the mass media. This is a weakness because if they did do so, they'd find that serious thinkers on the left are often very smart and have important insights about our world. This includes people often stigmatized as bogeymen (by people who have never read them) like the postmodernists or the Frankfurt School.This podcast talks briefly about a couple of insights from Herbert Marcuse's book One Dimensional Man.  Although an extremely difficult read, this 1950s work makes many observations about Western society that remain as relevant as ever and must be confronted by anyone seeking to change the system.

In today's episode, Stephen and Dixie Lee gets to know Drew Fulcher! Drew grew up a military kid, moving around the country, including landing in Florida the day before starting high school. He spent his in college in Florida and the lessons learned after choosing to not finish grad school. We get some crazy stories from his Florida days, we talk deep philosophy of ideas, his hobbies of homebrewing beer, playing D&D, and rock climbing, while it's all fueled by his genuine passion for being present and connecting with people. We hope you enjoy getting to know Drew as much as we did!Mentioned in the episode: The One Dimensional Man by Herbert Marcuse Bo Burnham: Inside  Death in Her Hands by Ottessa Moshfegh Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead by Olga Tokarczuk Follow the Hennings on Twitter: Stephen: @stephenghenning Dixie Lee: @dixieleehenning Join our community at patreon.com/knowpeoplepod for bonus episodes, merch discounts, and the private Discord community!You can also connect with Know Normal People on Twitter and Instagram at @knowpeoplepod, leave us a 5-star rating and a 1-2 sentence review on Apple Podcasts, and subscribe to our email newsletter, called the "Three-Thought Thing"!Know Normal People is a proud founding member of the Highline Media Network, bringing the art of podcasting back to normal people in normal places.

The convergence of wealth inequality and Media consolidation is explicated as the greatest risk to democracy. The degree of media consolidation is shocking and has led to the absence of so much of the dissenting evidence needed to form informed understandings regarding our collective foreign policy impact on the world stage. Without that we are unable of holding our government accountable and responsible for carrying out the will and interests of the majority population and instead become unconscious victims of the will and economic interests of the elite few. This show not only details the degree of media consolidation but also documents the methods and results of creating a misinformed electorate with clear examples and documentation. From the 1st Gulf War and before until today examples abound on how deceitfully misrepresentations were presented to the American public. “In 1983, the US media was controlled by 50 companies. There were nine companies ruling in the 1990s, and by 2020 the number shrank to six — AT&T, which bought Time Warner, Columbia Broadcasting System (CBS), Comcast, Disney, News Corp, and Viacom. This means that a huge amount of media companies are connected.” Those that own the overwhelming disproportionate wealth, also own the media, and therefore own the purveyors of ideas from epoch to epoch. As Herbert Marcuse described back in the 1970s in his book One Dimensional Man, a closed universe of discourse is created that shapes and creates false truths, and false history with the result that things people often believe but which in fact are false or grossly misleading. How we have been misled into conflict after conflict by control of information and the distorted presentation of false narratives is detailed with hard evidentiary examples. When foreign policy and public relations firms work hand in glove, we are advertised into supporting unjust interventions and wars. The last 25% of the show shifts to an introduction to the Libyan invasion of 2011 and the false propaganda that was connected to that war crime, which will be further explicated next week.

Reading the Left from a conservative perspective series Marcuse argues that technology creates new forms of social control. Consumer culture creates false needs that distract from reality and rob the masses of free choice. Science and rationality are tools of the oppressor. Liberation necessarily appears to come from without and from above

EBL crew discusses the Marx of the Managerial Class, the Hegel of the European Union, Jurgen Habermas.

In episode 4 of 4 on Herbert Marcuse's "One-Dimensional Man," we discuss "The Great Refusal," Marcuse's solution for how to think 'two-dimensionally.'

In episode 3 of 4 on Herbert Marcuse's "One-Dimensional Man," we discuss how man became one-dimensional including the concept of repressive desublimation.

In episode 2 of 4 on Herbert Marcuse's "One-Dimensional Man," we discuss the irrationality of rational society.

In episode 1 of 4 on Herbert Marcuse's "One-Dimensional Man," we provide a short biography of Marcuse, discuss the historical context of this book, introduce the two main theses, explain what Marcuse means by "technology," and discuss how advanced industrial society is totalitarian.

This week we have unlocked the second half of our discussion with Phd Candidate Chris Manno. We discussed the differences between objective, subjective, and instrumental reason and how philosophers have moved through these three in stages culminating in the mercenary use of instrumental reason for the justification of the status quo. Modern philosophy has focused on the latter forms of reason to the point of rejecting any objective understanding on the world, a situation that is tailor made for exploitation of people and the planet under capitalism.Horkheimer, Max.

What's good world, we're back with some more of that gangsta hood philosophy. In this episode of the podcast, I'm giving a quick take on Herbert Marcuses' classic one-dimensional man by talking bout the importance of upholding radical individuality in the face of an ever-encroaching totalizing societal machine. I also talk how easy it is to fall into this machine-like leveling process, how the idea of democracy is just a front to keep this going - spoiler alert, all our presidents share the same lineage as the lizard people at Buckingham Palace, even Barry O - the Nahuatl response to this one-dimensional mode of being, and the importance of staying true to ourselves, even when we're vibing at our lowest. Stay woke fam...

Although successive generations of the Frankfurt School have attempted to adapt Critical Theory to new circumstances, the work done by its founding members continues in the twenty-first century to unsettle conventional wisdom about culture, society and politics. Exploring unexamined episodes in the school’s history and reading its work in unexpected ways, Splinters in Your Eye: Frankfurt School Provocations (Verso, 2020) provides ample evidence of the abiding relevance of Horkheimer, Adorno, Benjamin, Marcuse, Löwenthal, and Kracauer in our troubled times. Without forcing a unified argument, these collected essays by Martin Jay range over a wide variety of topics, from the uncertain founding of the School to its mixed reception of psychoanalysis, from Benjamin’s ruminations on stamp collecting to the ironies in the reception of Marcuse’s One-Dimensional Man, from Löwenthal’s role in Weimar’s Jewish Renaissance to Horkheimer’s involvement in the writing of the first history of the Frankfurt School. Of special note are their responses to visual issues such as the emancipation of colour in modern art, the Jewish prohibition on images, the relationship between cinema and the public sphere, and the implications of a celebrated Family of Man photographic exhibition. The collection ends with an essay tracing the still metastasizing demonization of the Frankfurt School by the so-called Alt Right as the source of “cultural Marxism” and “political correctness,” which has gained alarming international resonance and led to violence by radical right-wing fanatics.

CHEMICAL WEAPONS moved from the battlefield to the farm field after World War II. 1080 is a WMD-Weapon of Mass Destruction! SODIUM FLUOROACETATE: Sodium monofluoroacetate (or fluoroacetate), has the chemical formula FCH2COO-Na+, and is a highly toxic compound primarily used as a pesticide known commercially as Compound 1080. 1080 FLUOROACETATE IS EXTREMELY HAZARDOUS—1080 is classed by the World Health Organisation and the EPA as an extremely hazardous pesticide - CLASS 1A ECOTOXIN POISON. 1080 is a proven endocrine disrupter and impacts upon the body’s major organs. Just one teaspoon could kill 100 people. The only sane and effective method of balancing ecosystems is to use the components of the living system to manage itself!  Because of its isolated location New Zealand is the ideal environment for a countrywide program of RESTORATIVE ECOLOGY to show the world that ecosystem management can ONLY be done by using nature's methods. The Permaculture Principle "The Problem IS the Solution!" points to the fact that issue with the overpopulation of "invasive species" is purely caused by the absence of apex predators. The New Zealand owls and raptors are too "small." The only viable method of establishing a self-sustaining, self-balancing ecosystem is to introduce one or more apex predators capable of keeping the pest species in check. The ultimate aim of Restorative Ecology is to set up ecosystems harmonize themselves without any human intervention. Thus by introducing one or more owls from Australia to manage the indigenous Australian possums this would keep the population under control, while still providing non-poisoned meat and fur for the trappers...thus serving an elite couture industry. A countrywide program to get school children to make owl houses for the Powerful Owl and/or the Barn Owl would get the next generation interested in ethical ecology and the health of their nation. In every way...environmentally, physical and mental health, fiscally, morally, ethically, scientifically and socially the 1080 campaign is destroying New Zealand via the criminal use of a grotesque weapon of war! SHORT LIST OF TALKING POINTS WHAT IS IT:—Sodium MonoFluoroAcetate is a CLASS 1A POISON first synthesized 1896 by Belgian Frederic Swartz—Hitler was told it was too dangerous to use as a chemical weapon—1940-48 Monsanto buys patent and manufacturers it—The Wigley family business Tull Chemical took over patent and plant from Monsanto in 1955—New Zealand buys 90% of their production—America under Nixon banned 1080 in 1972 due to it killing the bald eagles. New Zealand started using 1080 for pest control by 1957. WORST POSSIBLE POISON: 1080 is called a CLASS 1A POISON  because it is a chemical weapon that causes extreme suffering and death as it interferes with the energy production in the cells and halts aerobic respiration. 3% is metabolized to fluorocitrate which messes with the enzyme that run the Krebs cycle. Death is slow, gruesome and inhumane. It was used by Saddam Hussein against his political enemies. 1080 use in any country is not only terrorism against its human and non-human inhabitants. CHEMICAL WARFARE: The NZ Government is engaged in a full on war against introduced "pests" which they say compete with and kill the native birds and other fauna. Their campaigns "Zero Invasive Predators" or "Predator Free 2050" speak to their intentions to keep at this chemical warfare—the end result of which will be the loss of the majority of native species and the brain damaging and disease of the human population. Even trace amounts damage mitochondrial DNA...In Whanganui where there is a 1080 factory "Orillion" and landfill for 1080 waste there are reports of retarded children, miscarriages, stillbirths and congenital malformations to the children of pregnant Maori women following aerial drops. BAITS: The 1080 poison is mixed with cereal and green die and made into baits, which are aerial dropped from helicopters over the native bush, streams and water catchment. The baits kill everything either directly or by secondary poisoning as carnivores eat the insects, birds and herbivores that die. A farmer who lost 570 ewes following an accidental 1080 drop on his farm said that 6 months later sheep were still dying. Around 4,000 tonnes of 1080 poison baits per year are dropped on New Zealand, enough to kill 60 million people, & the quantity increases yearly. 100 tonnes of those spoiled and expired baits are buried in landfills around the country. CLEAN GREEN: The Clean Green image of New Zealand is plainly under attack, as no other country is so fiercely killing both introduced and native species alike. Hikers report that after a drop the forests resound with the screams of dying animals and then they are silent...not even bird song. There is also the danger that sublethal traces of 1080 or its metabolites will end up in produce that NZ exports. ALL ANIMALS SENTIENT BEINGS: In 2015 New Zealand also publicly declared that they recognized that all animals are sentient beings, and then they indiscriminately continue to kill them in the most extreme torturous way possible. Revealing a deep seated hypocrisy and performative contradiction. CHEMICAL WEAPONS moved from the battlefield to the farm field after World War II. Chemical ecology and chemical agriculture are oxymorons. Systemic, nonselective, ecosystem-wide violent and inhumane poisoning of an ecosystem can never claim to be rational, sane or backed by “good science.” “Everything is out of kilter in the ecosystems where it is used!” It creates “imbalance” in the numbers of living creatures in an ecosystem and is highly destructive to the life-giving quality of the soil and water. YOU CAN'T BALANCE AN ECOSYSTEM WITH CHEMICALS WITHOUT KILLING EVERYTHING IN IT...including the forest and the microbiome itself. The restorative ecological way of reducing invasive species numbers is not to kill them but use them as a resource to feed the Apex predators. Thus supporting the ecosystem to balance itself. NEED FOR LARGER RAPTORS: New Zealand is going to have to introduce at least one more apex predator species. The assisted migration of the Powerful Owl, Rufus Owl or Barn Owl from Australia and the distribution of specifically designed OWL HOUSES is the ideal solution to the 1080 debacle. This is a permanent self-sustaining solution which comes at very little cost to the taxpayer, with NO POISONING of the land and water. LARGER APEX PREDATOR: As PEST species are used as food for both native species and STRATEGIC AMBASSADOR SPECIES brought in from neighboring countries to balance out the food chain. These ambassadors are generally a slightly larger apex predator introduced when the native apex predators are either too small or too few to control population numbers of the “pest” species. NATIVE POISONS FOR BAIT STATIONS: There must be a worldwide ban on open-ecosystem dropping of poisons, that is just common sense, however that is not to say poisons couldn’t be used in special pest-specific bait stations using natural biological poisons which are not ecosystemic.  Scientists have found a natural poison that tests show can kill rats in 5 to 10 minutes. The New Zealand native plant TUTU (Coriaria arborea) is poisonous to stock, but doesn’t lead to secondary poisoning, this could be used in cereal baits for rats and possums. GRAND SOLAR MINIMUM climate extremes and crop loss means that the Native Bush will become a vital resource to keep people alive and healthy as society is disrupted by the chaos of epic scale floods, mudslides, fires, hurricanes, tornadoes, droughts, volcanic activity and famine. MAKE LOVE NOT WAR: Need to change thinking from combat to waste not want not and compassionate conservation. The four guiding principles of compassionate conservation used in the 21th Century are: 1. First Do No harm, 2. Individuals Matter, 3. Value All Wildlife, and 4. Peaceful Coexistence via Trophic Level Management ensuring that all levels of the trophic cascade are well balanced so the so called problem of “invasive species” are NOT a problem but a solution!!!! CALL FOR INTERNATIONAL HELP?  BAN 1080 HOMESTAY NETWORK: To encourage an international environmental legal movement, the New Zealand anti-1080 movement could set up a free homestay network system for visiting international environmental protection organizations, environmental scientists, ecology expert witnesses, lawyers, activists, restorative ecologists, doctors, researchers and PhD students interested in doing a thesis on 1080 use in New Zealand. The BAN 1080 Homestay Network especially encourages experts in natural ecosystem balancing and restoration, biodiversity, terraforming, forest revival and permaculture designers who work on a countrywide and global scale. This Homestay Network will further the efforts to establish New Zealand as a showcase for the most advanced ecological principles, environmental right practices and Natural Justice. The project would lead to the promotion of eco-education, ecotourism, eco-education and research, besides improving local livelihood and promoting ecoarchology and cultural values. The most important and popular career will soon be as a permecologist OR permaterraformer ie: restorative planetary management. Herbert Marcuse said in his book One Dimensional Man,  “The facile historical parallel with the barbarians threatening the empire of civilization prejudges the issue, the second period of barbarism may well be the continued empire of civilization itself. ****************** 1080 SOLUTIONS ~ ADVANCED RESTORATIVE ECOLOGICAL MANAGEMENT  Sodium MonoFluoroAcetate was first synthesized in 1896 as a chemical weapon. It is a Class 1a Poison that causes extreme suffering and death as it interferes with the energy production or aerobic respiration of cells, ie: the Krebs cycle. Death by 1080 is slow, gruesome and inhumane. The chemical weapon aerial drops of the super poison 1080 throughout the New Zealand forests result in human death, mutation, cancer, miscarriages and stillbirths, plus the violent death of farm animals and pets. You simply cannot have a thriving environment if you are indiscriminately killing off the entire food chain down to the microbiome of the soil, and including the very native species you are trying to save. Thus the New Zealand government will ultimately come to the conclusion that open ecosystem poisoning is not only an ineffective pest control method, but is pernicious, calamitous and maleficent. It is only a matter of time before the New Zealand conservation methods are going to have to emerge from the dark ages and a new age of regenerative, restorative, and balancing methods of ecosystem management are adopted. We have come too far in heart and mind to descend to such a degree of barbarity and cruelty. Conventional industrial and governmental environmental methods have relied on dilution and dissipation for dealing with noxious byproducts of their activities. The progressive sciences however have proven that both dilution and biological degradation are faulty and inadequate to the task, when considering the profound subtlety, omni-dispersive and ubiquity of nature and natural systems. Bioaccumulation of noxious substances up an ecosystem food web ensures that dilution and dissipation doesn’t work. Both government and industry can no longer continue on with their dirty business as usual when we now know about the hado effect of the imprinted water from Emoto, morphogenetic fields from Rupert Sheldrake, the fructification and spiral flow of water via the work of Schauberger, water and the life of the cell Gerald Pollack, quantum consciousness of Stuart Hameroff and that Healing is Voltage of Dr. Jerry Tennant, and the electromagnetic nature of existence, plus Bruce Lipton and epigenetics. All such advances in science point to the fact that we must change our methods of industry and governance and heal our relationship to the planet. Indeed we must change ourselves! Biodegradation of 1080 is a joke as it kills the very micro-organisms that are said to biodegrade it. Even if it does degrade it still spreads the element fluoride over the entire country...and if they keep it up, it will continue forever until everything is dead, because poisonous control of ecological systems doesn’t work to control “pest species” in an open ecosystem. Rather ecosystems must be made proportionally symmetrical by synergistically balancing the tropic layers within the ecosystem. If they are unbalanced then human intervention requires that new species of apex predators (or other ecosystem partners) be introduced and established to balance out the predator-to-prey numbers. This is the only morally intelligent answer to the burgeoning numbers of so-called “invasive species,” (possums, rats, stoats, deer and wild pigs). We just have to “balance” the food web, not exterminate it, thus it is obvious that omnicidal poisoning is contrary to effective conservation and ecology. Advanced naturalistic, restorative ecology makes up for the problems of past human intervention and allows ecosystems to balance themselves, which results in maintaining both balance and the self-sustaining mechanism of balance. Besides ecosystem trophic layer management, the only other pest control method necessary would be changing our ideological perspective from “pest management” to “resource management.” The Department of Conservation should be concerned with ecosystem resource utilization and these outlawed “non-indigenous pests'' are in fact highly nutritious FOOD for the native food chain. Plus they represent a back up survival food resource for humans during the upcoming Grand Solar Minimum Global Freeze. The hollow fiber of Possum fur provides extra warmth and lite weight to fabrics. Thus one of the most advanced and economically viable fabrics during the global chill of the Grand Solar Minimum will be high-tech clothing made from merino and possum hair. A NZ Grand Solar Minimum cold weather survival clothing industry for the global market would provide million$ and new right-livelihood jobs, while displacing those few criminal profiteering politicians, corporations and pilots who are presently terrorizing the nation and condemning their own souls to everlasting hell. The alleged problem of “invasive species” is no longer a problem but a solution via Trophic Level Management ensuring that all levels of the trophic cascade are permanently self-balancing. In which these non-native nuisance species are used as food for both native species and strategic ambassador species brought in from neighboring countries to balance out the food chain. These ambassadors are generally a slightly larger apex predator introduced when the native apex predators are either too small or too few to control the “pest” species population numbers. New Zealand is in need of larger raptors and is going to have to introduce at least one more apex predator species to fill the top of the bush food chain. The assisted migration of the Powerful Owl, Rufus Owl or Barn Owl from Australia and the distribution of specifically designed OWL HOUSES is the ideal solution to the 1080 debacle. This is a permanent self-sustaining solution which comes at very little cost to the tax payer, with NO POISONING of the land and water. Given the right components an ecosystem will take care of itself.Instead of teaching the kids to become psychopathic killers of helpless animals the schoolkids could be put to work building the raptor nesting boxes and tracking their installation in a national grid throughout the country. These bird houses must be made of natural materials, built to last and erected at the ideal height in the canopy for each particular species of owl. Considering the Grand Solar Minimum climate upheaval and the catastrophic natural disasters which will be decimating wildlife populations for the next 30-70 years, compassionate ecology in association with the introduction of strategic ambassador species is the ideal method of self-sustaining ecosystem management - in a world thrown into chaos by epic scale floods, mudslides, fires, hurricanes, tornadoes, droughts and volcanic activity. Thousands of species will be on the move anyway due to shifting weather systems and loss of appropriate habitat, thus it is up to us “enlightened human stewards” to assist their migrations in ways that serve them and the existing trophic cascades. The restorative ecological way of reducing invasive species numbers is not to kill them but use them as a resource to feed the Apex predators. Thus supporting the ecosystem to balance itself. The New Zealand government has much more urgent responsibilities than the ruinously poisoning of the country, making it uninhabitable for beast, bird and human alike. Establishing ecological homeostasis of organisms in harmonious connection with their surroundings requires working with nature instead of against it. This Win:Win Ecology is an infinitely more intelligent, economical, safe and humane way of going about conservation in that it supports the health of the entire ecosystem and environment (including humans) and enhances the strength and stability of the global gene pool of valuable species. The four guiding principles of compassionate conservation used in the 21th Century are: 1. First Do No harm, 2. Individuals Matter, 3. Value All Wildlife, and 4. Peaceful Coexistence. “Every time you try and improve on Nature by going against it you damage yourself, for Nature is your very being.” Anthony Demello Intervention with a Class 1A super ecotoxin can obviously only bring insidious, dubious and ruinous results. The more poison they drop and longer this goes on, the greater will be the disastrous effects for the entire nation of New Zealand. Rather than a futile all-out war against nature, it is obvious that ecosystems can only be rectified and self-regulated using the methods of Nature herself. A restorative ecological management program must be undertaken in New Zealand, not just so that our “exports will be clean” but so that we can save the heart and soul of the nation.  Now is the time to evolve beyond corpo consciousness to more advanced and intelligent, Nature compliant methods of conservation, ecology and agriculture, for the repercussions of industrial barbarism are undermining the very foundations of civilization and our capacity to be human. Towards that end, together we can imagine, experiment and manifest this advanced, innovative naturalistic emergent ecology that uses uncommon sense to rectify and redeem our human relationship to the earth, to the betterment of all and with harm to none. Thereby this restorative ecological renaissance speaks to the deepest of our inherent values and sensibilities, reconciling the fact that human beings are a small but crucial part of a vastly and intricately connected system of living and non-living things.

There is a contagious psycho-spiritual disease of the human soul, a parasite of the mind, that is currently manifesting itself in the form of unprecedented conflicts and crises on a global scale. This collective psychosis or mental virus -- which Native Americans have called wetiko -- covertly operates through the unconscious blind spots in the human psyche, rendering us oblivious to our own madness and compelling us to act against our own best interests. Wetiko distorts our perceptions by stealth and subterfuge, acting through us while simultaneously remaining hidden. Unconstrained by conventional laws of time and space, this 'bug' in the system deceives us by working with the projective tendencies of our mind to appear external to and other than ourselves. Thus, the conflicts and crises which threaten the collapse of political, social and economic systems, and perhaps even of the biosphere itself, are nothing less than a revelation of our own internal darkness, the side of our nature that we all too often deny.

Marrying Marxism with Freudian psychoanalysis, Marcuse constructs an eloquent challenge to the tenets of late capitalism as relevant today as it was in the mid-twentieth century.

Following up our conversation on Marcuse's "One Dimensional Man" we read Paul Mattick Sr's response, "One Dimensional Man in Class Society." Not One Step Back!

Are we making progress and if we are making strong progress in key areas are we losing things along the way? I use Herbert Marcuse’s 1964 book, One Dimensional Man as a benchmark. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/good-stuff/support

In May 1968, demonstrations at the University of Nanterre, triggered a wave of protests across Paris and elsewhere in France, that have loomed in the imaginations of the Western European left. This month, Juliet talks to Mitchell Abidor, author of May Made Me: An Oral History of the 1968 Uprising in France (https://www.plutobooks.com/9780745336947/may-made-me/) about the relationship between the protests and film: how André Malraux's decision to fire Henri Langlois from the Cinemathèque fed into the insurrection; how far the Provos, Lettrists and Situationists influenced the protests; how the likes of Jean-Luc Godard and Chris Marker changed their practice after May '68; and the feminist and queer filmmakers and groups that emerged in its wake.

This episode of Pneumatikos will explore the necessity of God's Word in a world that is controlled by the menancing fiction of the great lie.  We are living in the dangerous milieu of "One Dimensional Man."  The inhabitants of the "Brave New World" are bewitched by the technologies that control their lives.  They are "True Believers" who cannot see the supernatural handwriting on the wall. Their lives have fled the ruins of personalities besotted by trite stereotypical behavior.  Jesus wants those who are bowed down with emptiness to come to Him and get a real life.
