Marco Damiani, Chief Executive Officer of AHRC New York City (AHRC NYC), joins the DEP RRTC's Let's Get to Work podcast hosted by Dr. Peter Blanck, University Professor and Chairman of the Burton Blatt Institute at Syracuse University and Principal Investigator of the DEP RRTC. Drawing on decades of experience supporting people with disabilities, Marco discusses his journey from working as a direct support professional to leading one of the largest organizations supporting people with intellectual and developmental disabilities in the U.S. He highlights the movement from institutionalization to community-based supports and services and the importance of self-advocacy, self-determination, and Supported Decision-Making. Marco and Peter also emphasize employment as a way to advance independence and community participation. Using AHRC NYC's nationally recognized initiatives as examples, they show how meaningful, competitive work benefits people with disabilities, employers, communities, and the broader economy.

In this episode of the Pioneer Podcast I had lively discussion with Mzwanele Manyi, Member of Parliament for the MK Party about his proposal and efforts to remove the right to self-determination from the South African Constitution.

Muchas veces en la vida se presentan oportunidades que parecen perfectas: el trabajo soñado, una relación que “lo tiene todo” o una propuesta que sientes que no se volverá a repetir.Y sí, pueden ser buenas oportunidades, pero eso no significa necesariamente que sean buenas para ti.Madurar también consiste en aprender a distinguir entre lo que se ve bien desde afuera y lo que realmente está alineado con la vida que quieres construir. Porque no toda puerta abierta está hecha para que la cruces.Y decir que no puede dar miedo, pero a veces rechazar algo no es un error. Es una forma de honrar lo que quieres, respetar quién eres y mantenerte fiel a ti misma.En el episodio 81 hablamos sobre el miedo a dejar pasar oportunidades, la dificultad de decir que no y la claridad que se necesita para reconocer que no todo lo bueno es para ti.Escúchalo completo en YouTube, Spotify y Apple Podcasts.Si quieres profundizar en este tema, aquí te compartimos algunas de las fuentes en las que nos basamos:Deci & Ryan (1985), Intrinsic Motivation and Self-Determination in Human Behavior.Kasser & Ryan — investigaciones sobre metas intrínsecas y extrínsecas y su impacto en el bienestar.Producido por Inhaus Media.

This week's U.S. Supreme Court ruling in Louisiana v. Callais sharpens what we too often soften with abstraction: Whiteness is not passive, accidental, or misunderstood. It is an intentional, strategic mechanism for establishing and protecting an increasingly fragile, minority-centered power base—globally and within the United States. Callais is not just a legal dispute over voting maps, nor merely another instance of judicial ideology overriding clearly expressed legislative intent. It is part of a last-stand effort to preserve a political and legal foothold for Whiteness itself, at any cost. This case represents the latest moment in a multi-generational struggle by proponents of a White nationalist Social Structure to constrain the power of Black Governance formations and movements. Will we defer to a race-first “rule of law” or leverage our Movement and Memory to trust what our Ways of Knowing have repeatedly made clear? The broader project of White minority rule is straining to reassert itself against rising domestic and global forces it cannot control. In doing so, it exposes its own contradictions and erodes the illusions that sustained it at its steadily collapsing peak—marking what must be its final stand. The task before us is twofold: to name reality without euphemism and to organize and assert power with clarity, strength, and coalition, grounded in Africana self-determination.Are you a member of Knarrative?

On the Season 5 finale of Momentum: A Race Forward Podcast, Nikko Viquiera, Deputy Senior Vice President of Programs, sits with internationally acclaimed poet, comedian, public speaker, and actor ALOK Vaid-Menon. This conversation was recorded this past November at Just Narratives for Multiracial Solidarity 2025, In their conversation, Nikko and ALOK explore how storytelling can be used to challenge and transform the dominant narratives that shape our understanding of identity, power, and belonging. ALOK reflects on their journey from navigating childhood shame and public violence to cultivating a practice rooted in joy, play, and self-determination, offering a powerful reframing of what liberation can look and feel like. Together, they examine how vulnerability, when embraced and shared, can become a force for healing and a tool for shifting culture. The conversation also connects these personal insights to broader movement work, unpacking how binary thinking, especially around gender, limits the possibilities of racial justice and multiracial solidarity. ALOK situates the gender binary as a colonial system that has been used to categorize, control, and divide people, reinforcing racial hierarchies and restricting self-determination across communities. Through this lens, they make the case that challenging the gender binary is not separate from racial justice work, but essential to it, expanding what it means to belong, to lead, and to exist freely.

“Freedom no longer exists outside the systems, and it depends on the design. Coming back to the design, it’s about understanding that we need to distinguish between intelligent systems and agency.” –Dr Michael Gebert About Dr Michael Gebert Dr Michael Gebert is Chairman of the European Blockchain Association and co-founder of AI Expert Forum. He works at the intersection of artificial intelligence, digital sovereignty, and institutional responsibility. His book 2079 – Designing Freedom is just out. Website: 2079.life LinkedIn Profile: Dr Michael Gebert What you will learn How the concept of freedom extends beyond politics and economics to personal agency in an AI-driven world Why cognitive sovereignty is essential for maintaining individual responsibility and accountability as intelligent systems become more pervasive The shift from making decisions ourselves to designing the frameworks and conditions for decision-making with AI involvement How to distinguish optimization from true human empowerment when integrating AI tools into personal and organizational life Practical routines and metacognitive strategies for individuals to retain agency when collaborating with large language models and intelligent systems Why organizational leaders must prioritize cognitive sovereignty and human potential early in AI deployment, not just technical efficiency Insights into the challenges and importance of embedding frameworks for freedom and cognitive sovereignty within corporate, governmental, and policy structures The critical need for ambassadors of freedom within institutions to promote reflection, ongoing discussion, and the integration of responsible AI practices across all levels Episode Resources Transcript Ross Dawson: Michael. It is awesome to have you on the show. Michael Gebert: Hey, great to be on the show. Thanks for having me. Ross Dawson: So we connected first, probably around 15 years ago, and we were both involved in crowds, creating value from many people. And I think, you know, there’s one of the interesting points now is, I guess, you know, we still live in a world of many people. We’re trying to create collective value. AI is laid over that. So it’s interesting to see that journey from where we’ve come to where we are today. Michael Gebert: Absolutely, and I really remember visually when we first had contact about this very exciting topic of crowdsourcing and empowerment of the crowd, and really making people believe, not only in themselves, but really in communities. And therefore, not only strengths in terms of crowdfunding, crowd investing, their financial gains, but also being empowered in what they do. And this is a very fundamental, I would say, even a right for humanity to reflect on and do that. I think the methodology and technology back then helped a lot. And to be honest, I’m still partly involved in some of those efforts. Even the big crowdfunding platforms, also here in Europe and in Germany, are vital and really active. Of course, not in that dramatic media shift hype that we experienced, but they’re still there, and it proves that it’s a concept that should stay. Ross Dawson: Yep, absolutely. You know, there’s obviously collective intelligence, amongst other facets. But this goes to, I think, the frame of your new book, 2079, Designing Freedom. So freedom is an interesting word, and something which I hope we all aspire to. Michael Gebert: Yeah, you know, freedom, of course, is one of those very multifaceted words, right? It could be translated in a political context. It could be translated in an economic concept, meaning monetary-wise. It could be translated—and this is my translation—in a very personal, one-to-one reflection about how do I as a human being see myself in that surrounding, bombarded not only by information but by intelligent systems, basically AI as we describe them, and all that is behind those systems. Ross Dawson: So there’s a few things I want to dig into here. And I guess there’s another word there: designing. Obviously, at a societal infrastructure layer, we want to be able to design the systems whereby we can all individually have that freedom of choice in how we live our lives. Michael Gebert: Yeah, and not always, I would say, looking at the world geopolitically, of course, there is sometimes no choice. And if you are able to generate those choices, first of all by understanding how to design them, that’s a very good first step. So when I wrote the book, the prior part was basically a research paper I did, a small research paper also on ResearchGate. This is the foundation where I started thinking and reflecting. Basically, the core there is about a question that I think is becoming unavoidable now and for the future. The question is: if more and more cognition or judgment and action are delegated to intelligent systems, what has to be true for human beings in order to remain genuinely free? So the book is really about freedom, agency, responsibility, and at the end, about belonging in a world of increasingly disruptive intelligence. Ross Dawson: Yeah, yeah. So the word agency is obviously very much of the moment, in lots of ways. But I think human agency is absolutely critical. One of the central things you lay out in the paper, which I think is really, as you were saying a moment ago, is on everyone’s minds. You’re saying this idea of agency used to be about making decisions, whereas now, as you describe it, agency is shifting to authoring the conditions for decision making. So we’re not necessarily making the decisions ourselves, but we do control and guide the conditions, the context, or the structures for decisions so that we retain responsibility and accountability, and those decisions are the ones we would want. So how do we do that? Michael Gebert: Yeah, you know, the question before asking how is really to understand under what conditions do human beings remain authors of their lives when more and more of those decisions are shaped by, as you say, agency systems or whatever name they go by, whether fancy, new, or already existent. So the how—and it’s not about lifting a secret—is about going back to cognition and having that cognitive intelligence and cognitive roots, which are in us, but which, over the years—and you reflected on the last 15 years, especially the generation after 2008, meaning after the iPhone—have lost large parts of that ability, which is very human. So it’s not really a reshaping or something new. It’s also not a book advising how to; it is really a finger going up and saying, people, please remember that the deeper question is under what conditions do human beings remain genuinely free when more and more cognition, judgment, and action is to be owned back and not delegated to the systems. This is, of course, very formal in the need and in the demand, but especially, as you mentioned, when laying it out into organizations or government structures, it is hardcore policy and hardcore principle. You can write a lot of things in your genuine AI policies, but what I see right now is that in reality, first of all, nobody’s really reading them in depth. Secondly, there is really no reflection point on this cognition, judgment, and delegation. Therefore, this is really prior before any interest in how-to in terms of technology and what LLM to choose. This is really prior—it’s day zero—when you think about what’s going on, and when you think about how to position yourself, your company, and your team in there. Then this is the next step of thinking. Ross Dawson: So I want to come back to that, but I think one of the phrases you use is cognitive sovereignty, and this is in a context where one of the most shared papers recently is around cognitive surrender. Cognitive sovereignty is the opposite of cognitive surrender. But the reality is that in interacting with LLMs, it does change our cognition. Michael Gebert: As long as we, yeah, as long as we delegate cognition, basically. The auto effect is— Ross Dawson: Conversation with a human changes our cognition too, and I think we need to recognize that. So it’s not just conversing with LLMs. Conversing with a human changes the way we think, which is a good thing because we’re getting more diverse opinions. But obviously, LLMs are not humans, and while possibly that interaction could enhance our thinking, if we get some great ideas and different perspectives from an LLM, then we’re still retaining cognitive sovereignty. So let’s frame this: how do we as individuals get to cognitive sovereignty? What does that look like? Michael Gebert: Yeah. So first of all, I think we need to understand that when we delegate cognition to an AI, we redesign responsibility. This is undisputably non-negotiable. This is a fact. When you compare it to a human interaction, there is no default responsibility redesign necessary. It’s a reflection point, it’s a discussion. If it’s a good conversation, it’s uplifting for both ends. You go out of this conversation and you have, yeah, uplifted cognition. Surrendering cognition, as you said, is a very factual statement that brings a lot of views, but it’s basically raising the white flag and saying, I surrender. What I say is, no, it’s not time to surrender. It’s time to appreciate, and it is time to understand that freedom no longer exists outside the systems, and it depends on the design. Coming back to the design, it’s about understanding that we need to distinguish between intelligent systems and agency. We need to separate the capacity for governance. Therefore, we should distinguish between formal freedom and substantive freedom. The difference there is that there are two parts: assistance and substitution. Understanding that there is a very important difference, and really feeling that difference personally with input, makes it powerful. When we think about AI and all those systems, we often confuse optimization with empowerment, and this is one of those very dangerous paths. Even, you know, you are very active on LinkedIn, I’m a little bit active on LinkedIn, and we see all those posts. To be honest, I would say since the start of ChatGPT and all the other LLM models, 80–90% of those posts and comments are now AI-driven, and you see it, you read it, once you’ve been longer on those platforms. Therefore, people think they feel empowered, but it is not empowerment. It is maybe optimization, but it’s not a reflection point. Coming back to your core question of cognitive sovereignty, cognitive sovereignty would be really going back and abstracting and saying, all right, AI can absolutely expand human possibility, but it is hopefully about human potential and not about completely outsourcing and empowering the systems. Ross Dawson: So, so what? Let’s just—what does an individual do when they’re working with an LLM? What are the practices that enable them to retain cognitive sovereignty? Michael Gebert: Yeah, I think, first of all—and this is, of course, a lot of work—every output of any system is a suggestion. Treat it as a suggestion. Compare it to a conversation: if you have a conversation with a very wise person, very reflective, very well known, normally you don’t instantly believe what’s coming out of their mouth. It depends, of course, on your dependency on that person, but normally, you reflect. What we see right now is a dramatic shift towards instant reputation and instant recognition of AI output. Even though I’m not a skeptic about augmentation, I’m skeptical about unexamined delegation. That means there is human flourishing everywhere possible, but it does not emerge automatically from capacity. This is the reflection point, and it is, as I said, not easy. It’s a routine. It’s basically a self-delegated routine, saying, all right, this is the output, that’s interesting. Maybe it’s misleading. Maybe it is another opinion. Maybe it really substitutes my argumentation. It feels like empowerment, but at most it’s optimization. Ross Dawson: So, you know, obviously this requires that metacognition, as in, to be aware of your own thinking processes, individually and with the machines and with others, and at which point you can start to observe and reflect. Michael Gebert: It’s, you know, Ross, to be honest, it’s hard work. Because in the daily life, for a regular person at work, there’s time pressure, social pressure, work pressure—there’s a lot of pressure. The core motivation for most companies is efficiency: to integrate AI and AI systems to be faster, easier, leaner, to make more profit. So the human factor is not in the center. We learned that also from crowdsourcing and crowd intelligence. My PhD about crowdsourcing integration in companies many years ago was about the same reflection: once people have those pressure points triggered, then the reflection within that, that is needed as we talked about, goes down massively. So the things that are coming now, historically and consequentially, is that the whole AI should not be a technological footnote. It should be really a core issue, to integrate that cognitive sovereignty, and out of that, basically the designing process—what I call now freedom—is ongoing. Because it’s kind of then on auto-shift at some point. But really, there are a lot of stakes that become reasonable here in the Western civilization and in our civilization. So it’s not about tools. The point is at which a tool becomes an environment. This is really what I think a lot about, and it is mind-blowing on the one hand, and on the other hand, really frightening to see, as you say, also the opposite that is happening. Ross Dawson: Yep, yep. So we’ll come back to that. We’ve still been talking about, in many ways, these decision structures. So, I guess, in an organization, let’s say a head of transformation or CEO says, “Okay, we need to move to what I call humans plus AI decisions,” where humans are involved and AI is involved, and we get to decisions that may be better, faster, cheaper, but also still retain governance, meeting your ethical and compliance requirements, and that the humans are accountable. Of course, there are many types of decisions, and so that will play out in different ways across different types of decisions. But what is the process for just thinking through and implementing those decision structures or conditions whereby you can have better decisions while still maintaining that control or freedom, as well as accountability? Michael Gebert: Yeah, first of all, I think the real leadership challenge is not just to deploy, right? It’s about preserving agency while doing so. This is the critical factor. I don’t know if you can recall in history, but from my understanding, it’s the first time that we have this hyper-integration of AI usage in both private and commercial business environments. There is no real cut, meaning that the person, the human, is using AI systems privately—shopping lists, optimization, planning, automation, personal agents—and it’s used in the company. Therefore, two things should happen structurally. First of all, the reflection on how to integrate cognitive sovereignty has to be ramped up, learned, taught, and really developed within the organization. Optimal would be beforehand, but to be realistic, while deploying AI with that knowledge, this is a training program. So how is it? It is a training program. I know that you are a fan and you have superb pictorials and structural views that you post on LinkedIn, and this would be a perfect example of producing such a roadmap, basically saying, “All right, these are the basic steps. You may not be able to follow them 100%, but just to give you a core idea of step 1, 2, 3,” and then follow the roadmap, a framework. But now, with the difference that as it is so integrated, the person understanding the framework can reflect the framework also for their private lives, meaning with their children, godchildren, partners. This is why it’s so interesting, because it’s core learning. Right? So basically—and I know you have a couple of those already in existence—so it’s kind of the next step. What should come out, or should be produced, is a combination, saying, “Okay, this is the addition to that framework, in combination with that framework, understanding what myself and others try to explain here.” Ross Dawson: Fantastic. I interrupted you, and you were at the point of saying, okay, this training or these frameworks are assisting people to have agency in this process. Let’s come back to that. You’re helping people to frame or to have agency themselves, but this is part of a process where you are starting to bring AI into decisions. So where does that take us? Michael Gebert: It takes us to a very fragile and really hard-to-judge state where we are at the moment. I just can really reflect on my experience right now with training and with conversations within organizations—not just because maybe the book is a foundation, but because I’ve been doing that for the last 30 years. Having that reflection point, I would say it has never been easy to have a disruptive framework implemented in a running ship. The company is moving. There are goals. There are different goals. There may be goals that are totally the opposite to what the framework says. But realism kicks in very easily. My first door opener is saying, if you as a company want in a possible future to integrate human potential into your upcoming company framework, then we have to talk and put a framework about cognitive sovereignty and understanding of systems of agency into your existing and upcoming, mediated, intelligent systems. Otherwise, if that is not understood, then we will have a dependency on decision, which is not only bad for your employees, but in the medium term, maybe even in the short term, depending on where you integrate the AI systems, can be very destructive for the whole company. This understanding is a massive shift from a regular decision, which is mostly still coming out of the technical department—meaning the CTO or the CIO are fascinated by the possibilities, they report it to the board, the board sees efficiency, and out of that, a testing period and pilots are developed, and then the rollouts begin. Which is all fine in the old thinking, because it doesn’t price in what’s happening on the cognitive and human potential side. So it’s an additional card that has to be integrated very early on. Ross Dawson: So are there any organizations that you have seen who are doing any of this well, or even just a little bit well, in terms of even just taking this framing into how they’re trying to approach it? Michael Gebert: You know, in general, I would say there are a couple. I have one from a city company who is worldwide active, who is doing, on a department level, a very good job. Generally, overall, the whole company is fragmented, and therefore decision making is fragmented. Therefore I cannot really judge on how they are doing as a whole, as a company. Ross Dawson: Just on the department. If they were doing it well, what were they doing? Michael Gebert: In that specific company, they understood—and maybe that is the interesting part—they understood relatively early, due to the fact that they are coming from a very human-side factor of product, meaning pharmaceuticals. Because whatever you take in, a pharmaceutical elevates or alters your human condition, and therefore they have this sensitivity for the topic very early on, which made it very helpful to attract attention and also understanding within the leadership and decision making to integrate, in the development and R&D departments for future potential aids and medicals, that thinking. Which I think is perfect and fascinating and it fits, but the foundation was a preset of basic understanding which is bounded to the product, or bounded to the industry itself. The other one was automotive. You know, I’m in Munich, so there are, and in Germany, there are still a couple of automotive companies left, and they understand that there is a big shift on robotics, FSD, and there is the other shift of human-centric driving. But still, in the car is a human person, so somebody has to be transported from A to B. The department there on AI and future development understands this cognitive sovereignty also very well, because their approach is coming from a very human angle. What I want to say is, it benefits a lot once you have that framework integrated into existing acceptance of the importance of the topic. What I found is that especially in the financial sector, it is, at the moment, not really recognized. It’s very product-focused, very output-focused, very efficiency-focused. It’s not really focused on preservation of human intelligence and reflection and agency, and therefore, you know, designing their cognitive sovereignty—aka freedom. I think that will fall back massively, but we will see. This is just a reflection point now in Europe, or especially in Western Europe, like Germany. But the similarities appear to be there on a global scale, because the systems tend to be very similar that are being used. Ross Dawson: So which kind of just takes us to round out, the big picture. Your book is for, amongst others, policymakers, and we’ve talked about the individual and organizational level. So now pulling it up to the macro level, as those who are creating the policies for governments and supranational organizations and so on, what are just a few core lessons or insights for how we design policy to enable human freedom, agency, and dignity? Michael Gebert: Yeah, maybe I’ll give you some really concrete examples, because I presented the book this year in Davos at the World Economic Forum. I had a reading session there. Of course, it’s kind of a competition between giants, so I was humbled to have a couple of people there, but not as many as I wished, to be honest. Still, I was there talking to a couple of those macro-level, high-end policymakers, and what they said is very similar to what I heard back in my crowdsourcing research: they have the data, they know the importance, they sometimes even have a hint of a framework to do it. However, inside the rollout pattern and inside the organizations themselves, there are a lot of—not risks, but—hindering mechanisms that tend to prevent an instant understanding. What they sometimes do—and this was a gentleman, interestingly enough, from a country in Africa—he said, “We need to have, like in the old days, ambassadors of freedom within the organization at all levels.” Basically, they are the spearheads, they’re the flag keepers and the wisdom keepers, in a very front-end way, understanding the core concept and elevating the rest of the crowd, of the team, to a level where they are open to discuss, understand, and integrate. This, I think, was one of the most hands-on approaches I’ve heard, because all the others about training and retraining and certification—it’s all good, but it doesn’t really guarantee integration. Ross Dawson: Yeah, yeah. So, Michael, where can people go to find more about your work and your book? Michael Gebert: So, basically, if you have a ResearchGate account, the free prelude—the research there—can be downloaded for free. It’s a PDF. I would be happy to extend or expand it. If there are researchers or organizations out there that want to use that as a foundation or expand it to their special needs, I’m more than happy to assist. The book itself is at 2079.life. It’s a dedicated website for it, and you can buy it, of course, online or from any dealer that you want. Interestingly, with that book, I really have lifted it to a hardcover version—not that I’m old school, but I think there is something about seeing it physically, marking it. I’ve seen it now, when I did the promotion, I gave it to a couple of people who normally don’t really read so much because they have audiobooks or PDFs and a lot of work but no time. But with that book, they came back to me and made photos where they really underlined things, marked it, put their reflection points. I think this is what this book is about, because it’s not a 300-plus page book. It’s quite condensed, but it should bring you, in basically every paragraph, to rethinking about your approach to the topic. When that is reached, the book is 100% where I want it to be. It’s definitely not a how-to book—how to be great, or “in 30 minutes you’re an AI prompt magician,” or anything like that. It’s quite the opposite. It really goes way deeper. A lot of books kind of flag it at some point, but not in that condensed area. As you may have read, there’s no version 4.0. When I started thinking about it, it was COVID times, and the first version I gave to you has nothing to do with the current version. The first version was a blue pill, red pill approach—really, there will be a dystopian version and there will be a freedom version. Over the years, now in the fourth year after COVID, with all that’s happened on the technology side, geopolitical, and human side, this is the output now, a development. So the book itself is not a still space; it is a development space. Ross Dawson: Fantastic. Well, thank you so much for your time and your insights on the call today and the very important work, because obviously freedom is something which we need to work on. Thank you, Michael. Michael Gebert: I think that’s the core. Thank you so much, Ross. And have a great day. Thanks for having me.

What does it really mean to have power over your own life?In this episode, Dr. Lesley Joseph unpacks the fifth principle of environmental justice: a bold and uncompromising declaration that all people have the fundamental right to self-determination.This isn't just about the environment. This is about power. From who controls political systems to who decides what industries enter a community, this episode exposes a critical truth - Without self-determination, there is no justice.Dr. Joseph breaks down the four dimensions of self-determination:Political – the right to choose who governs youEconomic – the right to shape the systems that define your livelihoodCultural – the right to exist, express, and preserve identity without erasureEnvironmental – the right to decide what happens in your own communityFrom zoning decisions that place polluting industries in marginalized neighborhoods to what Dr. Robert Bullard calls “economic blackmail,” this episode connects the dots between environmental harm and systemic control. And it goes further by challenging colonialism, corporate overreach, and even well-intentioned aid systems that strip communities of their autonomy.Because environmental justice isn't just about cleaning up pollution after the fact. It's about ensuring that communities have the power to say yes - or no - from the very beginning. This episode is a call to reclaim that power. Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-environmental-justice-lab--5583745/support.Don't forget to subscribe and rate the podcast wherever you listen!

too much self-determination in the church. The message invites us to depend on the Holy Spirit rather than pursuing our own plans, warning that the gospel often seems foolish to the clever. It emphasizes being filled with the Spirit to bear bold witness, walking the narrow road, and trusting God to provide.

I spent time this week in a musical improv class, and it was a masterclass in one thing: staying on the beat. In improv, if your mind wanders for even a second, you're out of sync with the whole team. It made me think about a request my son made when he was little for my "phone-free attention." That request stuck with me because giving someone our undivided focus is the most basic act of leadership we can offer. In this micro-lesson, I'm exploring why inclusion isn't a grand gesture—it's the radical, simple act of being fully present. Takeaways: The Gift of Presence: Why undivided attention is a non-negotiable leadership skill. Mental Leftovers: How to stop dragging the energy of your last "scene" into your next meeting. Tactical Grounding: Why staying in the moment sometimes requires tools like compartmentalizing (or even fidget toys). Your Challenge: Where are you finding it hard to stay on the beat today, and what's one thing you can do to tune back in? Good Vibes to Go: Watch the documentary Come See Me in the Good Light on Apple TV. It's about poet Andrea Gibson navigating their terminal diagnosis. It sounds dark but it's actually joyful, love-filled, and even funny. Connect with Me The Newsletter: This week in the newsletter, I wrote about prime-time disability leadership in Major League Baseball coverage, funding the first Inuit-led university, and more!

On February 17, 2026, Jesse Louis Jackson made transition at 84, marking a watershed chapter in four generations of African struggle for US and global power. Emerging from Africana Governance formations, Jackson leveraged two currencies—voter power and consumer power—to push US domestic and global Social Structures to have to negotiate with the organized oppressed. From Operations Breadbasket and PUSH to Rainbow Coalition Presidential campaigns of 1984 and 1988, Jackson utilized and tested every tactic available to oppressed people confronting entrenched Social Structures. In Class With Carr 311 interprets the meaning of Jackson's life and work as a case study in the possibilities and limits of Black self-determination, asking what it reveals about today's fragile and reshaping political order and what understanding him, it and ourselves demands of us now.Are you a member of Knarrative?

On February 7, 1926, National Negro History Week was first observed. This week, we frame Blackest History Month as a Governance ritual against the coming 250th anniversary of the founding of the United States of America, not as celebration but as struggle—over memory, power, and education. Coming from this weekend's “Blackprint 20” Conference in Philadelphia, we trace recurring conflicts from 1776 to 1976 to the present: Social Structure spectacle versus Movement and Memory; the archive versus living intergenerational transmission; and curriculum as Governance protocol beyond simple skill development. White supremacy cannot coexist with African self-determination, equity or any other form of full beingness. Rituals that mark anniversaries must activate memory into action, revealing intellectual warfare over history, schooling, and national identity in a convulsing settler state.Are you a member of Knarrative?

Self-determination throughout your team: it sounds simple, but implementing it effectively could give your startup a razor-sharp competitive edge.In this episode, Chris and Yaniv unpack the 'Recursive Principle of Self-Determination', a framework for designing autonomous startups that maximize agency at every layer of the business. They explore how high-agency decisions shape product strategy, engineering, go-to-market, fundraising, teams, and culture, and why AI is accelerating the shift toward founder empowerment. In this episode, you will:* Understand the concept of recursive self-determination and why it applies across the entire startup stack* Identify low-agency decisions that slow innovation (agencies, misaligned partners, restrictive funding)* Design products that increase customer empowerment by reducing friction, cost, and dependency* Evaluate tech stack and vendor choices based on incentive alignment and long-term control* Apply high-agency go-to-market strategies by selling directly to customers* Structure teams as cross-functional, autonomous squads that move fast and learn faster* Leverage AI as a force multiplier for founder and team agencyThe Pact Honor the Startup Podcast Pact!

Dr. Greg wraps up the series on narcissism by going beneath behavior and willpower, drawing on JP2 and psychology to show how real healing happens at the subconscious level. Learn how narcissistic patterns can be unburdened and integrated with compassion—not erased or fought—so healing can actually take root. Key Topics: Why a narcissistic part is not a monster, but a protector How deep wounds get buried beneath conscious awareness and still drive behavior Why healing isn't about willpower or "trying harder" How narcissistic patterns can be unburdened and integrated, rather than erased Learn More: Being Human episodes on Narcissism: Ep. #263: Holiness and Narcissism: Undoing the Knots with Awareness, Self-Determination, Empathy and Our Lady Ep. #262: Spiritual Narcissism: Exposing the Sneaky Way We Use Religion as a Pattern of Protection Ep. #261: Narcissism and the Terror of Being Ordinary Related blog articles: The Problem with the Bishop Scandals Outlining Narcissistic Personality Disorder The Two Types of Narcissism Being Human episodes on Parts Work:  Ep. #34: A New Theory! w/a Catholic Lens Ep. #35: Why Do I Feel Like I Have Conflicting Thoughts? w/ Dr. Peter Malinoski Ep. #47: How to Turn Your Inner Worst Enemies into Your Inner Best Friends Person and Act by Karol Wojtyla (Pope Saint John Paul II) Need help?

To help work out the dialectic of national self-determination in the face of Trump's imperialist aggression against Venezuela, Greenland, Canada, etc., Andrew and Gabriel revisit 1914-16 writings of V.I. Lenin on Ireland's struggle for independence from England. They discuss Lenin's response to Rosa Luxemburg, who thought that national self-determination is impossible, and his defense of the 1916 Easter Rising in Dublin. In addition, they discuss why it was Marx's custom to “sound out” acquaintances about their attitudes to national self-determination. (See episode page for links to writings.) In the episode's current-events segment, the co-hosts discuss the fightback against the Trump regime's aggression against Greenland and Minneapolis, as two facets of one struggle. Radio Free Humanity is co-hosted by Gabriel Donnelly and Andrew Kliman, and sponsored by Marxist-Humanist Initiative (https://www.marxisthumanistinitiative.org/ ).

"Die to yourself." "Offer it up." What happens when these phrases get tangled with woundedness? In this episode, we explore spiritual narcissism—and the path back to freedom through awareness, empathy, self-determination, and Our Lady.   Key Topics: Why "good advice" can sometimes feel silencing rather than supportive How being told to "pray more" can replace real listening The hidden ways love can feel conditional in spiritual spaces How spiritual environments can quietly erode trust in your own intuition Learn More: Related blog articles: The Problem with the Bishop Scandals Outlining Narcissistic Personality Disorder The Two Types of Narcissism Being Human episodes on Narcissism: Ep. #262: Spiritual Narcissism: Exposing the Sneaky Way We Use Religion as a Pattern of Protection Ep. #261: Narcissism and the Terror of Being Ordinary Need help?

With President Trump's push for Greenland heating up, many are asking: Can the people of Greenland actually vote to separate from Denmark and become fully independent? In this episode, we dive into the legal reality, the self-determination rights of Greenlanders, current polls showing strong but cautious support, and what this means amid U.S. pressure. We'll answer: Do Greenlanders have the power to choose their future, or is Denmark holding the final say – and how does this align with conservative values of sovereignty and self-reliance?SPONSOR: Lear CapitalThe best way to invest in gold and silver is with Lear Capital.

As we enter the Annual Kwanzaa/Christmas/New Year two week corridor, Session 302 of In Class With Carr centers on the meaning of naming, framing, and narrative as sites of Governance, self-determination and collective power. Drawing on Carter Godwin Woodson's “Much Ado About a Name” essay in his 1933 book “The Miseducation of the Negro,” this week we use our Africana Studies Framework to reflect on, subjects such as Kwanzaa, Black Nationalism, and Pan-Africanism, emphasizing content and context, distinguishing Social Structure from Governance questions in order to empower community-centered knowledge. Rejecting both narrowly-framed academic framings and superficial efforts to rename and redirect the potential of collective power, we use this season of reflection and gratitude to remind ourselves of frameworks that support action, intergenerational learning and expectations, and movement-building rooted in ourselves.Are you a member of Knarrative?

 Can the promise of economic progress ever justify conquest, coercion, and control over other people's lives? Economist William Easterly joins EconTalk's Russ Roberts to argue no--and to rethink what "development" really means in theory, in history, and in our politics today. Drawing on his new book, Violent Saviors: The West's Conquest of the Rest, Easterly explores how colonial powers and later regimes like the Soviet Union claimed to increase people's material well-being while stripping them of freedom, dignity, and any say in their own fate. Russ and Easterly dig into the idea of agency--the ability of people to choose for themselves--through the lens of Adam Smith, John Stuart Mill, Kant, Frederick Douglass, and modern debates over foreign aid, autocrats, and technocratic "solutions" imposed from afar.
