“Extremism always thrives in the vacuum of leadership” ….this is happening in every aspect of the human experience. What a powerful statement. I would love to hear more thoughts on this in a future pod.
It has always been impressive to me how young our founding fathers were. Praying a generation like that can rise up. We need people who can critically think and put people as the mission. ❤
Your father/son team is fantastic! Your intellectual honesty, healthy discourse, humor, unapologetic opinions, wisdom, etc. are very enjoyable! I rate you 10 out of 10. 👍🏽
I fully understand the use of the word "democracy" to describe the U.S. but I believe it's a good idea to speak deeper into the U.S. as a "Constitutional Republic." Which is actually a democracy but a very distinct democracy. This is important because it speaks to the heart of many disagreements that seem so divisive in the country. I also believe it would be educational for many in the U.S., especially the younger generation - but not exclusively. I love your podcast and your thoughtful discourse. Keep up the great podcast. Your conversations are an important contribution to the social, business and spiritual ecosystem.
This is so validating. Every point has been boppin' around in my thoughts for a looong time, especially dating our wounds. I've only ever heard my counselor say that! So thank you for ALL of this. Except the part about Denver. We DEFINITELY don't have our mental health game down.😄
I really appreciated this conversation and the diversity of perspectives that both of you bring. These are the types of healthy conversations that we need more of in this country as it pertains to our political futures.
Great conversation! Consider checking out the book Chaos: Charles Manson, the CIA, and the secret history of the sixties by Tom O'Neill. It's particularly relevant to the global conversation on politics and culture, and also may interest you as it's largely based in LA/California. The cultural implications of and process of platforming of celebrity is also covered in this book. It's very important to understand how and why we got here. Would love to see you both read this and discuss it as it's very, very relevant to any conversation on culture and politics.
The tension of culture is the vying of leverage to steer it. It would be nice to have intellectual, servant-minded, wholistic perspectives leading culture. But right now I feel like individuals like that are vying for leverage in culture with popularity, celebrity, extreme polarity, influencer perspectives.
Interesting commentary, while I don't know much about US politics, I don't live in the west but I have observed that political stance somehow becomes a part of your identity, and almost always creates/stirs up division and tension and then people end getting "cancelled" or shunned for having the "wrong view/opinion". But where is the freedom in that in the "land of the free and home of the brave" In my country, we are free to criticize the government because we all share in the same problems, no one political party holds a single solution and we are free to openly disagree with politicians in a healthy manner. it might not be a first world country like USA, but perhaps freedom means something else to us.
