- Where does your body end?
The human body is filled with ecosystems of creatures keeping us alive. It exists within larger ecosystems keeping us alive. Yet considering ourselves as separate and apart, as whole and contained, dismisses the reality of our interconnection. What keeps us alive is everything, from the smallest things to the large web of life. Our very existence is an entanglement of possibility. To understand it, we have to figure out a way to think together, with our bodies, and the earth's body.
Craig Slee is a writer and theorist, and he joins me to discuss the permeability of our bodies and therefore of reality itself. This is a conversation about capitalism, ableism, suffering and language, how to find the words from our throats, and how to feel into the very edges of who we are, who we could be, and where, together, we can do.

Thank you Rachel, thank you Craig. A beautiful interview between two magical beings. This talk helped to understand my mental health much better. A passion arrives, it is an entity, it is distinct from me, it is an invitation to exist rather than do, or react. It requires no action, just a response to the cosmos as a responsible microcosm of the cosmos. Huge smiles all round .
Thankfully we can see more data on covid now - this shows most of the harms/deaths happened in our elders 80+ and with people with multiple co-morbidities often the same grouping with a tiny few unlucky people in the mix as well.

Hello again Rachel,
I've commented on a number of your videos to no effect. Maybe you don't read the comments. Maybe no-one does, and that's why explaining Magma Energy over and over again is met with what seems like indifference. Indifference to the prospect of a prosperous and sustainable future powered by endless clean energy from high temperature geothermal sources, as described by Nasa/Sandia Labs in 1982.
"The current magma energy project is assessing the engineering feasibility of extracting thermal energy directly from crustal magma bodies. The estimated size of the U.S. resource (50,000 to 500,000 quads) suggests a considerable potential impact on future power generation. In a previous seven-year study, we concluded that there are no insurmountable barriers that would invalidate the magma energy concept. Several concepts for drilling, energy extraction, and materials survivability were successfully demonstrated in Kilauea Iki lava lake, Hawaii. "
Maybe it's that you don't know how much energy (50,000 to 500,000 quads) is. Current global energy demand is around 600 quads. But maybe there are other motives at play. Maybe you cannot stand to have your Marxist - Limits to Growth presuppositions disproven. Maybe it's even darker than that. Maybe you are 'cheering for the asteroid' - so to speak. I don't know, because I'm getting very little feedback. Which is almost as curious as is failure to develop and apply Magma Energy technology from 40 years ago.
RSVP.
Hi, I read on the website "Interesting engineering" about an Icelandic project to obtain energy from volcanic magma. The ambitious Krafla Magma Testbed (KMT) project aims to tap into a magma chamber of Krafla in northern Iceland by 2026.To make this vision a reality, KMT is actively seeking $100 million (£79 million) in funding, with plans to begin drilling by 2027, according to a report by New Civil Engineer. By the way, still gigantic amounts of money are invested in the development of new technologies for the extraction of fossil fuels and other stuff, and in the case of this project we are talking about a relatively small investment. It is difficult to comprehend the fact that this is not a new idea, so little has been done in this matter. All that remains is to keep our fingers crossed for the wise Islanders, let them show the rest how to use natural resources and secure the energy future of their country.
lol keep flexing your "quads" no RSVP required.

@@Thomas-mj1dv lol you really think trolling The Planet Critical youtubes is the best place for this. Good luck with that unserious person!!
While I think that magma energy might be an interesting option to explore (always have thought this), you are on the wrong place here. Reach out elsewhere and at the very least publish, write, give talks on the subject. It is no surprise to me that I see almost nothing written elsewhere on this subject...so start your own podcast at least, or join a variety of other venues that address energy options, pros and cons.
Quite interesting your bla bla introductions - minutes long of blabber, The 20 odd pages in cheap "how to guides" which noone reads. You should get a grips if you want to endulge in hardcore analytics (thats why people come here) or blabla word games. How about you make a second channel where you can outplay your need to babble along for minutes on end without even taking a breath and poetry.
