But I am going to ask why the people whom we elected, who also believe that climate change is a threat, did absolutely nothing to prepare for the risk."Later, Helen Thompson, Professor of Political Economy at the University of Cambridge and co-host of These Times, examines how Europe's short-sighted policies gave China dominance in the car industry and the implications for the global economy.

(Conversation recorded on November 11th, 2024, prior to a ceasefire declared between Israel and Lebanon on November 27th, 2024)   If you've followed TGS for some time, you've heard Nate speak about The 5 Horsemen – the biggest risks for humans and civilization in the coming decade. Today's episode delves into one of the most rapidly escalating: geopolitics.  Today, Nate is joined by Political Economy Professor Helen Thompson to explore the evolving understanding of energy's role in international relations, particularly in the context of recent conflicts in the Middle East. They discuss the challenge of anticipating the volatile changes in energy supplies, the complexities of navigating information in a rapidly changing geopolitical landscape, and the role of global powers like BRICS and OPEC. How will resource conflicts continue to shape the long-standing tensions in the Middle East? What would a transition from a unipolar world to a multipolar world mean for the global geopolitical landscape and its energy implications? Given how connected these issues are to the delicate balance of our world, how can we increase awareness and preparation for future crises?   About Helen Thompson:  Helen Thompson has been Professor of Political Economy at Cambridge since 1994. Her current research concentrates on the political economy of energy and the long history of the democratic, economic, and geopolitical disruptions of the twenty-first century. She is a regular panelist on Talking Politics and a columnist for the New Statesman.

On this episode, political economist Helen Thompson and Nate discuss how energy and geopolitics have interconnected over the past century, building to the entangled political relationships we see around us today. The dynamics of power on a global scale are complex - stemming from access to energy, financial control, military strength, credibility/trust, and much more - yet we can understand these a bit better by learning the history that shaped them. How have geologic provinces of energy dense carbon created inherent hot spots on the geopolitical playing field? How has the global monetary system and debt evolved to strengthen the power of a select few countries and how difficult is it to break from this system? Do our leaders have the capability/knowledge to connect energy and geopolitical policy in order to guide us through a future of declining energy availability?    About Helen Thomspon:   Helen Thompson is Professor of Political Economy at Cambridge since 1994. Her current research concentrates on the political economy of energy and the long history of the democratic, economic, and geopolitical disruptions of the twenty-first century.

Part one traced the evolution of a political mind to the moment when tragedy undid the shackles of expectations and set David on his path. This week we follow what happens next, the collapse of the college circuit that supported activists throughout the later 20th Century, the implosion of the CD revenue stream and the rise of an atomized social-media-driven culture.

Ep. 118: “Oneness” by Rasha- Chapters 3 & 4

In this episode we jump into the next section of "Oneness". Our energy creates our reality; from our thoughts to our words- what we ARE is what we EXPERIENCE. This section teaches us that we have to closely govern everything we think, speak, do and feel to manifest what it is we would like to see in our lives. Otherwise, the unwanted outcomes persist by our own design. The recurrence of these themes, whether wanted or unwanted, keep us in a pattern of learning until the experiential lesson has been confirmed as practice. Side stepping the inevitable conflicts in life keeps us in that cycle, and this section tells us how side-stepping those conflicts when we start to see them arise is the way we transcend the repeated experiences and attain a higher level of enlightenment. The chapters of the book are documentations of the interactions and lessons that “Oneness” taught over a 5 year period. Each chapter, a new revelation about our Devine nature and potential power in this life incarnation. Chapter 3: Your Energy Field As The Co-Creator of Your Circumstances. The Power of Your Thoughts and Words as Tools of Manifestation. Breaking the Patterns That Create Unwanted Outcomes. Chapter 4: Bringing the "recurring dream" of This Lifetime To Completion Learning to Recognize and to Decline the Invitation of Conflict How the Collective Will Has Helped Transcend The Prophesies for These Times.
