The world is pretty bleak. Just to name a few current catastrophes:
- Late-stage capitalism and globalization
- Global environmental crisis
- International political incompetence
- Wealth inequality and homelessness
We are made to feel powerless by the wealthy, the media and our government(s) in order to prevent us from taking action. This is why we are starting this podcast. We are not powerless. However, we are disorganized and arguing over dumb things.
Therefore, we need to start a conversation that enables people to approach historically difficult topics and ask questions, learn new viewpoints, and be willing to consider new ways of solving these problems.
Each week, we’ll pick a few topics to discuss and try to poke on them from as many directions as possible. It is not sufficient to just be for or against something. The world is full of nuance. Instead of trying to make definitive rules about everything, we’re hoping we can align on a set of core values that can then be used as the guideposts for future decisions.
Of course, in order to align on values, we’ll have to identify and define those values. We intend to keep them updated on the website, but more importantly, we want to include others in the conversation.
If you see something on this website or hear something in this podcast that catches your attention, please engage with us! We are looking for other people that can share their thoughts effectively and help all of us move forward.
In closing, meditation is important, marijuana helps open the mind, and laughter is the glue that keeps us from all losing our minds. Please join us on this journey. Of course, it will be a little easier if you Get High First.
