The Power of (good) Food with Nick Weir of the Open Food Network 1:18:33

1d ago1:18:33

1:18:33

Clearly we're at an inflection point in the history of humanity. Our experiment with a notional democracy is failing and either we find something that actually works, or we sink into autocracy. And given that the current global flavour of autocracy is in deep denial of the climate and ecological catastrophe that's currently underway, then that's a …

29d ago1:20:53

1:20:53

How do we all respond to the seismic events of the US election? Specifically, how do those of us over 50 respond? (and how would the younger generations like us to respond)?

1M ago11:38

11:38

It occurs to me that we are now at an inflection point in the WEIRD (Western, Educated, Industrial, Rich and - notionally - Democratic) culture that has been so successful in destroying the ecosphere. A significant number of us now see what has been obvious to a minority for some time: that the system is not broken - it is doing what it was always …

1M ago1:05:07

1:05:07

If you're over 40, the world you grew up believing in no longer exists.

1M ago1:31:55

1:31:55

How does an understanding of what makes dogs tick, help us to understand ourselves and our place in the world? What does it take to feel safe - as a human, or as a dog (or cat, or horse, or... anything)?

2M ago1:04:59

1:04:59

How can we achieve total systemic change?

1:43:07

The climate emergency is impacting our entire eco-sphere.

4M ago1:05:12

1:05:12

We live in a burning world.

1:40:09

We know that being kind to our gut biome is crucial to our health, but what about the trillion happy helpers (or not) on our skin, in our lungs, our ears, our mouths… the things we slaughter daily with the ‘cleaning products’ we splash around our homes that not only impact our biomes directly, but leach out into our waterways, soil and the air that…

4M ago1:05:55

1:05:55

The Western world is in a crisis of democracy - but we learn a lot of our principles from the ways we interact online and the internet is essentially a feudal space that gives absolute power to a few and robs the many of agency.

5M ago1:27:47

1:27:47

Humanity is a storied species - everything we do from forming partnerships, to buying stuff, to moving house, to getting a new job… arises from the stories we tell ourselves and each other about ourselves and each other.

Beautiful Trouble - crafting a political Alternative - and an independent Scotland - with Indra Adnan and Pat Kane 1:25:01

1:25:01

The question of how we reshape democracy, walking the fine line between stagnation and populist rage - is the defining problem of our time - with a coherent strategy, we can shape anything.

Today we're blowing open a route towards energy security, reduced carbon footprint and saving money - all in the way we make, distribute and use power.
