 My guest today is Robbie Davis-Floyd PhD,  Adjunct Professor, Dept. of Anthropology, Rice University, Houston and Fellow of the Society for Applied Anthropology. Dr. Davis-Floyd is a medical/reproductive anthropologist, international speaker (over 1000 presentations) and researcher in transformational models in childbirth, midwifery and obstetrics. She is author of over 80 articles, 23 encyclopedia entries, and of Birth as an American Rite of Passage (1992, 2003) and Ways of Knowing about Birth: Mothers, Midwives, Medicine, and Birth Activism (2018); coauthor of From Doctor to Healer: The Transformative Journey (1998) and The Power of Ritual (2016); and co-editor of 12 collections. Robbie serves as Editor for the International Childbirth Initiative and Lead Editor for the Routledge series “Social Science Perspectives on Childbirth and Reproduction.”I asked her about her most recent book, BIRTHING TECHNO-SAPIENS: HUMAN-TECHNOLOGY CO-EVOLUTION AND THE FUTURE OF REPRODUCTION. What is a techno-sapiens? After offering an explanation, I wanted to know the meaning of cyborg.I read that once Robbie was asked by a frustrated Latin American epidemiologist,"Why don't obstetricians get it? We epidemiologists understand that the vast majority of what they do during labor and birth is just plain wrong. Lots of pediatricians do too. Like—cutting the umbilical cord immediately is just plain stupid! So why don't OBs act according to the evidence, as we have long been insisting that they do? Instead they just blindly follow obstetric traditions—why can't they learn to think for themselves? “ She answered that the majority of obstetricians are fear driven; fear of anything going wrong, fear of being sued, fear of criticism by colleagues if they dare not to follow the status quo. She said none of the obstetricians practicing in the US have ever seen a normal unassisted vaginal birth. Robbie would dearly like to see present day obstetrics humanized.Robbie is, amongst her many other projects, working on a personal memoir.My guest next week will be Susan Highsmith Phd, Counselor, Author of  "The First Fairy Tales I - IV"   a series of fairy tales for unborn, newborn and very young children designed to help parents bond with their children and children attach to their parents.If you liked this podcast please tell your friends about it, subscribe to this podcast wherever you listen to podcasts and/or write a brief note on apple podcasts, check out my blogs on Psychology Today at https://www.psychologytoday.com/intl/contributors/thomas-r-verny-md

Gerard D. C. Kuiken PhD. False Dualities, Space-time, Life-deathWe talk about consciousness, thought, time and the relationship between life and death.Max Planck regarded consciousness as a fundamental component of the universe and matter as derived from it.  Dr. Kuiken disagrees. He holds that a chosen distinction, a measurement, collapses the  “wave function”  yielding a triunity, like consciousness—distinction—matter.    In other words, they all coexist, and  there is no primacy of consciousness over matter or vice versa. His studies of Sanskrit texts have lead him to equate consciousness with Self/self. This self is made of speech, mind and vital breath. The Self is free from evil, free from old age, free from death, free from sorrow, free from hunger, free from thirst, true in love, true in intention. It is to be searched for and wished to be known. Gerard speaks of the paradoxical nature of existence and insights from properties of the QM singlet state. He takes a brief dip into Quantum Mechanics and states that entanglement and superposition are equivalent. Frankly, this is beyond my pay scale but perhaps some of my super well-informed listeners/viewers will get it.Gerard proposes that without a limitation there is no existence and that the brain is the tool for setting up limitations and controlling the consciousness of differences. In this way, 'man becomes aware of himself by limitation and experiences that as the awakening of his own world.Time is part of the form world and the formless world is timeless, a formulation corresponding to insights from near-death and mystical experience. Life and death are complementary in the sense that in life, spirit is beyond space-time and substance is in space-time.Next week my guest will be Dr. Robbie Davis-Floyd, cultural, medical, and reproductive anthropologist, researcher, author, and international. We shall discuss the new three-volume book she is editing, THE ANTHROPOLOGY OF OBSTETRICS AND OBSTETRICIANS: THE PRACTICE, MAINTENANCE, AND REPRODUCTION OF A BIOMEDICAL PROFESSION.If you liked this podcast please tell your friends about it, subscribe to this podcast wherever you listen to podcasts and/or write a brief note on apple podcasts, check out my blogs on Psychology Today at https://www.psychologytoday.com/intl/contributors/thomas-r-verny-md
