What's up you elevated egrets and activated asps! I'm back from a couple weeks of travel and feeling blessed, rejuvenated, re-calibrated and primed for creative renewal.
This episode I riff about how allegiance to 'isms' has a tendency to create schisms in the human psyche, as well as rupture the integrity of any given collective will. Divide and conquer baby, that's always been the strategy of rulers. Rigid and inflexible adherence to modes of thought often betrays an emotional attachment to an idea, and that can get dicey quick, as ideas must be able to bend when the winds of change come, as they inevitably do. The ideal dance is an adaptive collaboration between individual beliefs, shared desires and cooperative, productive action. Papering over issues to avoid cognitive dissonance is a recipe for fragility.
Also touched upon is the notion of safe space. It seems like everybody's constantly talking about ensuring that spaces are safe. The question is: safe for whom? And towards what end? Who is defining what 'safe' is? Does safety necessitate total emotional coziness? Who gets to enjoy this coziness and who does not? And what to do when safe emotional and verbal spaces come at the expense of real, physical safety of an invisibilized group? Rarely do the marginalized members of our society get to dictate parameters for perceived safety. Also: do safe spaces actually exist in nature?
This ep's cold open Zany Audio is a re-make of an old classic: Wild Bucko's Raw & Fermented Meat Emporium.
Tune in for all this and more. Big thank you to the Day Ones and all the new listeners. Welcome to Barbarian Noetics. Strap in, spark up, and Activate!
One Love,
