Theory of Indivisibility Podcast

On today's episode, we explore how my Theory of Indivisibility applies to Education. In 2019 I gave a talk at the Pathfinder Community School in Durham NC. titled "Self-Directed Education For A Sustainable Planet" that connects the dots between our children, systems thinking, biomimicry, climate change, and self-directed education. I've given several talks over the years...I'm most proud of this one. 

I hope that you are inspired by it!! 

On today's episode, we explore the evolutionary origins, current complexities, and how my Theory of Indivisibility applies to Systemic Racism through the reading of an essay that I wrote titled "Why I Walked Away From White People".

This is a short 9 minute update about what I've been up to. I also need your feedback on season 2! 

On today's episode, we explore how my Theory of Indivisibility applies to Capitalism. I start by taking you on a journey through my personal experiences and evolution as an entrepreneur. Then we take a look at some of the ways that people are reimagining, innovating, and creating new economic systems.

On today's episode, we discuss the present-day complexities of Capitalism. From the competition that drives technological advancements to the economic growth that provides a chance at upward mobility that impoverished people from generations past could have never imagined, Capitalism has done wonders for human societies.

But at what costs?

Press play to join me in exploring how to unpack the systemic root causes of both the benefits and harmful side effects of Capitalism.   

Love & Gratitude!

On today's episode, we will discuss the evolutionary origins of Capitalism in human societies. As a relatively new economic system in the scope of human history, capitalism, for many years has been praised by many as a catalyst for freedom and positive economic development.

However, in 2020 as more and more people awaken to the realities of climate change, economic inequality, chronic illness, and the coronavirus pandemic, the voices of those who are critical of capitalism have become louder than ever.     

So how did we get here? Listen now to learn how it all began.

Thank you for listening, 
Much Love & Gratitude to you!

On today's episode, we discuss the current complexities of Ownership in our society. I start with a discussion about how modern-day indigenous people view their relationship with the land. I then transition into some very specific ways that the social construct of Ownership has been embedded in our society and both the positives and negatives that it has caused.       

Thank you for listening!!

In this episode, I take a break from the normal format of the show to explain another element of my theory in detail. I call this element my "Framework for Social Innovation" and it includes two charts titled the DNA of Divisiveness and the DNA of Indivisibility.

I also tell you a little more about myself and How I Got Here in this episode as well.

On today's episode, we will discuss the evolutionary origins of Ownership in human societies. In 2019 we think of owning land and personal property as common however it is a relatively new concept in the scope of human existence on earth.

Many environmentalists and climate justice activists point to the concept of owning land as one of the root causes for the global climate change crises. 

Listen now to learn how it all began.

Interludes are my unscripted, unedited, raw, and authentic thoughts.

On today's episode, we discuss how my Theory Of Indivisibility applies to Religion. I provide examples of how many people and congregations are organizing with a focus on Spirituality and opting out of the oppressive beliefs and indoctrination from generations past.

On today's episode, we discuss some of the current complexities of religion in society. I start by introducing you to another Systems Thinking concept called Feedback Loops. I then transition into some very specific ways that Patriarchy's influence is embedded in religion before closing with a discussion about Religious Opt-Outs and Science vs. Religion.

Love & Gratitude

On today's episode, we discuss the evolutionary origins of Religion and the role that preceding social systems, Power-Over and Patriarchy, played in it. I also include commentary about the discomfort I experienced with learning information that was in contrast to deeply held beliefs that influenced the way I was raised.

Love & Gratitude

On today's episode the focus is Patriarchy. During Part 1 of the show we discuss the evolutionary origins of how and why Patriarchy evolved in human societies. During Part 2 we discuss how Patriarchy applies to current hot button topics like toxic masculinity, #MeToo, and the misogyny found in a lot of hip-hop music. And finally, during part 3 we discuss how my Theory of Indivisibility applies to Patriarchy and I provide examples of how many people and organizations have already begun to transition away from it.

On today's episode, I finally explain in detail what my Theory of Indivisibility is and how that relates to systems of Power in society. We also explore the various ways that people are already implementing new systems of Power rooted in equity, sustainability, freedom, & unconditional love in families, companies, and governments around the world.

Love & Gratitude

On today's episode we discuss the current complexities of Power-Over and control in society. We use Systems Thinking tools to gain perspective for the various ways that so many of our everyday social norms are rooted in systems of Power-Over with deeper dialogue on its impact on Food, Parenting, Marriage, and Debate based communication. We also discuss how these social-norms can lead to various forms of oppression and how that oppression can become institutionalized.

Today's episode is an exploration of how we got here...how we got to this point in our collective existence as humanity where most societies globally deal with some forms of inequality, poverty, war, crime, prejudice, hunger, pollution, and environmental instability. 

We start our analysis from the beginning...the genesis of our universe and the evolutionary events that led up to the existence of human beings.
