Thank you ladies you are today’s hero’s. There going to be rough roads physically for sure yet it’s the mental & the spirit that will make or break our species. I just pray daily we stop taking all other life out in the mean time.
27:40 👏👏👏👏👏 32:00 ❤ When the pain of not changing excess the pain of changing... This is a wonderful conversation highlighting the possibilities. 40:00 💕 As to the longtermists, is the digital the only survival they can imagine?🤔 I wish they'd enjoy more moments of joy and beauty, attend more barbecues and have more sex, realizing we're all mortal and each of our trains has a destination that ends... this experience we're having here now together is temporary in all the ways that matter. What is a digital existence save thinking and arguing, which are the worst parts of this existence? 🤷 Everything dies. That's what makes life so beautiful for me and encourages me to live each day fully.🎉 . Another wonderful interview, Rachel. 💯
We live in capitalism. Its power seems inescapable. So did the divine right of kings. Any human power can be resisted and changed by human beings. Resistance and change often begin in art, and very often in our art, the art of words. Ursula K. Le Guin
This is good stuff, this crisis is a weird one, as far as the economic stability and crazy geopolitics. I'm not even sure a migrant "crisis" is a real crisis, that could just as easily thought of as a good thing as it's helping those people live better lives. Repressive strategies come with lots of friction, it's just better to make things better, all the institutions push all in for sustainable tech and sustainable energy solutions.
the Long Termism comment was fascinating. Yes - that reminded me of this astrophysicist saying it wouldn't matter if CERN created a black hole because we would never have known it happened.
I do think that there is a way to systematise uncertainty - through pluralism. It *is* possible to construct non-ideological coordinating social mechanics, but they require a dialectic perspective that, for example, understands that the world contains both traditional and progressive ideas, but finds common ground in the *way* that discussion happens, rather than which position is more valuable or correct. This is to give primacy to process, rather than object. The scientific method is an example, but it is situated in a colonial, hegemonic structure, so its benefits are not fully realised. Paradigmatic shifts in science are only possible because the focus is on the method, which places the idea of "truth" as secondary to the discovery that our knowledge is, at some level, incomplete.
I think that was on America's Funniest Videos? A dog pretending to be in pain so its parent would stay home - and then when the parent stays home the dog is ecstatic.
Samuel Beckett - maybe he was influenced by Wittgenstein. His book WATT inspired by the absurdity of WWII - could not get published even though Beckett was already a famous playwright. Hilarious. He proved the point of his book by not being able to get it published! It's my favorite Beckett book! OK it's the only one of his that I've read.
I never even realized that was the problem. I've never cleaned my computer lens. hahaha. Still she came clean about being an Anti-Zionist Jewish person - very fascinating to be against Israel as an Ethnostate but Jewish. Oh wait is this comment gonna get past youtube algorithms?
It‘s not an easy question at all. It‘s very open and the guest can kind of expand as much as they want on it. But obviously if one wanted to give a conclusive answer that encompasses all the different aspects one would have to talk for hours

Great interview, as always!
Great close by you both. ❤

Quoted by Manda Scott in her novel Any Human Power. Imagines how that change might happen.

EA can never get enough criticism.
I like her

in times like these, we all need a bit of soft-focus 🤣
the riverbed metaphor vs the crisis of Dams and irrigation channels - like the Malaria spread in India from British colonial infrastructure. oops.
Why is the world in crisis?
Such an easy question.
Starts meandering, not really answering the question...
the world is in crisis b/c people don't 2x youtube vids. OK I confess I had to skip ahead at times.
