Species Unite
I think you could probably go back and track the stages of grief, probably that is what I went through. But I think if you do it right, you end up at acceptance. And that's where I ended up. And that's not to say that I've fully accepted the idea that the golden toad is extinct. Personally, I do still hold out hope that it could still be out there in those forests." - Trevor Ritland This conversation is with Trevor Ritland, who—along with his twin brother Kyle—authored The Golden Toad . The book chronicles their remarkable journey into Costa Rica’s cloud forest, once home to hundreds of brilliant golden toads that would emerge for just a few weeks each year—until, one day, they vanished without a trace. What began as a search for a lost species soon became something much more profound: a confrontation with ecological grief, a meditation on hope, and a powerful call to protect the natural world while we still can.

הפעל מאוחר יותר הפעל מאוחר יותר רשימות לייק אהבתיWhat kind of music do you listen to? What art do you consume? How does it align with the type of world you want to live in? I share my own frustrations and ideas on how people can/should seek out art (and other things) more consciously. I argue that it is actually important whether you listen to someone like Drake or Kendrick if you give a shit about culture and building better worlds. Even beyond that, if you listen to just what is popular vs all the other amazing but lesser known art out there, then your worldview will almost certainly be limited. I think the things we consume, and the things we create, and the things we share, are all important facets of the world we are living and building.…

הפעל מאוחר יותר הפעל מאוחר יותר רשימות לייק אהבתיToday I have to give a heartfelt apology to all the folks I may have unravelled or otherwise had way too intense discussions with. After/during a recent discussion that did not go super well, I realized, or rather crystalized, something about myself: I like to pull at threads! And I will often do so relentlessly until something comes apart.. or proves resilient enough to stand. Though I greatly value this trait about myself as a major driver of my curiosity, it can be very tough for other people. I don't want people to be too scared of talking with me, or to think that I'm just trying to be antagonistic towards them. Though curiosity and a thirst for understanding is important, it does not bode well to put people in a defensive or floundering state in the process. So I am very sorry to all those I may have troubled in my thread pulling. I'll endeavor to be more tactful going forward.…

Today, after I share my weekend, I vent about the craziness going on in the US in regards to Row v Wade and the mass shootings in America. Our entire idea of democracy today is a complete joke. It's just not possible to have a democracy or any real freedom when millions of people are forced to live under the same rules and moral codes. Anarchy allows people to be people, to be empathetic, and removes the ability to force people to do what you want. We need anarchy, because that is the only way to ensure the freedom of all people, not just some. We need anarchy because it removes the structures of power. We need anarchy because it's best, historically proven, way to allow people the freedom they desire to exist how they want to exist.…

Unfortunately, many folks (especially cis white men) find solace in extremist or otherwise problematic content and communities. I also touch on some thoughts I've had listening to some Lex Fridman podcasts. I mention how the Bad Vegan thing shows us the problem with thinking only about accountability instead of environmental awareness. Our decisions are influenced by hundreds or even thousands of variables, and ignoring those makes us feel more 'in control' but makes us even more able to be controlled. Finally, I talk about love, and how love is often misused when we really mean infatuation or attraction or manipulation and the like.

Education should be a lifelong institution for solving real world problems. Instead of schools as we have them now, we should have library-like facilities and intranets where people can 'check out' a course on any subject. Folks should be prompted and given the resources to not just solve random problems, but instead be directed to ask why.. to find the causes behind the symptoms.. to learn the context and work with the people suffering those problems. Then, they should be able to collaborate on a project with an interdisciplinary team with people of differing levels of experience. As they near the implementation of the project, they should test the product or service in real world scenarios. Once they implement the project, they should measure it's impact and iterate accordingly. Every project should therefore be an ongoing process done by multiple generations of people. And the whole thing is an interconnected system. Thus is the future of education: Lifelong learning, project based, real world, collaborative, measurable, iterative, contextual, and meaningful.…

These pre-historic cultures in fact lived a life that we all are trying to get back to as we figure out how to solve inequality, xenophobia, disease, productivity, sustainability, loneliness, lack of purpose, etc...

הפעל מאוחר יותר הפעל מאוחר יותר רשימות לייק אהבתיIn this audiojournal entry, I talk about what I learned about the San people, the oldest civilization on Earth. They have kept their way of life as a hunter-gatherer culture for 150,000 years!! I put forth some ideas as to why that is and how our current day society can stand to learn a lot from their way of life. Specifically, I challenge myself and others to consider the idea that our modern-day technology is actually a more primitive form of technology than could be had if we perhaps utilized our consciousness more directly (perhaps through psychedelics or meditation and such). I know this sounds absolutely crazy, but much of our science today is actually showing that our physical reality is NOT fundamental. Meaning everything we perceive with our physical senses is a kind of a 'simulation' our minds are putting together for us. So perhaps those many other ancient cultures were on to something when they regularly used these more organic methods to experience reality beyond our own. Can we create a better life and experience more progress if we live more like our ancestors? Idk... maybe I'm just crazy... maybe I am wrong... but many of us know for a fact that our current way of life is unsustainable, so we Have to consider alternatives. What do you think?…

הפעל מאוחר יותר הפעל מאוחר יותר רשימות לייק אהבתיThere is over 5000 years of history leading to the modern, western idea of yoga. The original concepts were more about the practice of accessing intense concentration through meditation in order to understand greater truths about the universe and the nature of consciousness. Two main schools of thought came from these practices: a "theistic" concept where they believed in some supreme being or larger power, and an "atheistic" concept where they were still spiritualists but believed a supreme being was not necessary to understand greater truths and achieve liberation from the cycle of life and death.

In this audiojournal entry, I share my thoughts, ideas, and experiences as I go through my own journey of Awakening. It is a process of selflessness and breaking out of the constraints of learned consciousness. It is the path of always being curious about the true reality of the universe and world we live in. It is the awareness of connection that you have with every living creature and even non living beings in our shared illusion of reality. It is a journey with no end, and constant growth. It is a pleasure and privilege to go on this journey with you!!…

We are rational creatures, and so we can utilize both spirituality and science, to the exclusion of faith. Let us take this journey together! The universe is big and full of wonderful mysteries...
