Amazon billionaire Jeff Bezos thinks the U.S. can grow its way out of a massive deficit. He says we need a “growth mindset.” Stephanie and Dave call it a “suicide economic model,” and note that growth addiction is exactly what afflicts most policymakers around the world. The dynamic duo discuss the little-understood fact that a shrinking economy can be healthy – when it accompanies a contracting population. Bezos also proposes that we plunder the universe in order to protect Earth “we've sent robotic probes to all of the planets in this solar system. This is the good one.”) Also: The Congressional Budget Office lowers U.S. population projections, further stoking the fires of depopulation panic – the result of a lack of overpopulation literacy Isaac Asimov's “metaphor of the bathroom,” about the need for more regulation as our population grows (we dug up great video of Asimov; see link below) The parable of the Mexican fisherman A great poem, Rather Than by Sandy Trust.

EPISODE #1141 THE CHARLES DICKENS' CONSPIRACY Richard welcomes a filmmaker and researcher who delves into groundbreaking findings that suggest Charles Dickens plagiarized the idea for A Christmas Carol from Mathew Franklin Whittier, the lesser-known younger brother of poet John Greenleaf Whittier. After uncovering a past-life connection to Whittier, the researcher reveals how A Christmas Carol was originally a spiritualist story co-written by Mathew and his wife, Abby, before Dickens rewrote it into the iconic ghost story. Through meticulous research, they provide compelling evidence that Dickens borrowed heavily from Mathew's work, offering a new perspective on this beloved holiday classic. GUEST: Stephen Sakellarios has studied reincarnation for over 50 years, beginning with the teachings of Eastern Mysticism at age 19. He focused on death and dying while obtaining a master's degree in counseling, in 1982. In 1997, he began work on an independent documentary entitled "In Another Life: Reincarnation in America," which was released in 2003, and is still distributed to universities through Films Media Group. Two years later, in 2005, he discovered a possible past life as his own, as an obscure 19th-century author named Mathew Franklin Whittier. The following year, he recorded in his public blog the feeling that Mathew might have had something to do with the writing of "A Christmas Carol." In 2009 he began researching that question in earnest, and after 15 years of delving into primary sources, he is convinced that Dickens plagiarized that story from Mathew and his wife, Abby, in 1842, after which he hastily commercialized it in time for Christmas of 1843, to make desperately-needed cash. Stephen has sought to prove that Charles Dickens could not possibly have written the original version of "A Christmas Carol," and at the same time, to prove that Mathew and Abby Whittier were plausibly the real authors.

I wanted to film this for myself... but it ended up having a TON of value for anyone who wants to create something or put things out in the world. I would love to hear what was the most resonant or valuable to you! I ended up talking about: - The importance of being proud of yourself & celebrating wins (no matter how big or small) - The power of committing to a process goal RATHER THAN setting quality / outcome goals - The worst case scenario: resenting the creation process - Committing to something often feels heavy... but can paradoxically be quite "freeing!" - Being pleasantly surprised that viewing my life objectively, from a third party perspective, allowed me to feel joy (in reliving moments), pride, and gratitude. - Beware optimization / efficiency at all costs. If it comes at the expense of joy - it's far from worth it. - Creating is always worthwhile. Especially once you drop things like: success/failure, comparison, and monetization.   Journal prompts ============== What would I like to create? What wants to be created through me? What am I passionate about? What am I simply curious about? What have I felt pulled towards… but haven't taken action on because of: overthinking, analysis paralysis, and/or procrastination? ____ WATCH over on YouTube Say hey over on IG!

Lindsay summarizes today’s episode:  My very first guest today!  My 9 year old daughter Stella!  I wanted a kids perspective when talking about this!   We’re talking about PATIENCE!!   How do you have patience with kids who won’t move on to the next step? This is where I get the most frustrated… get in the car for school… come sit down for dinner… time to brush your teeth…  This is where I have the most frustration… and how I need to tell myself to be patient  I tell myself I WILL NOT LET THIS BREAK ME I WILL NOT LOSE MY COOL  THIS IS NOT GOING TO BREAK ME DOWN  Sometimes we all need a BRAIN BREAK!  When my kids flip out or loose it or yell or some other response that isn’t ideal for the situation… I have them walk around the corner… out of sight… I tell them to take a brain break and come back. Don’t come back until you’re ready.. until you’re in a better state of mind.    OR I take a brain break!!    I take a deep breath.. or I walk away for a minute! RATHER THAN throwing out consequences that are too harsh and I’m not going to actually execute.  And that's the key - we have to stick to what we say.     SO … GET NEUTRAL before giving consequences! I also get into how to be a-tune to where your kids are developmentally and how to be realistic.  Also… how to deal with babies when they are frustrating!    I go through how I’ve learned to LISTEN!  I thought I was in my younger years of being a parent… but then I realized a lot of time I wasn’t.  I want to know how THEY feel… sometimes I THOUGHT I was being patient but they actually thought I wasn't.  Then when I heard their explanation of it- I could totally see your point. I want to make make sure my kids feel like they are being heard. I talk about giving my kids choices… and accepting who they are and not trying to control them.   Lots of fun stuff packed in this one… and I hope this podcast helps you take a step back and remember how important it is to be patient with our kids. It’s just so important for their happiness and for your relationship… and for the overall feeling in your home.  As hard as it can be at times, I think it’s one of the most important things we need to work to master as parents.   Cheers to having patience!  Even when they won’t get in the damn car!
