Rathbone discusses the complexities of capitalist systems, using the examples of New Orleans' corrupt politics and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. He shares his perspective on the struggling city of New Orleans, attributing its corruption to capitalist systems and admitting his deep connection to the city despite its challenges. However, he also emphasizes its unique history and cultural contributions. Regarding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, Rathbone and Chris Jeffries discuss the historical context, including the displacement of Palestinians and the use of violence. They argue that Palestinians, like the Houthis in Yemen, resist by disrupting trade and challenging power imbalances. Rathbone is critical of international involvement, particularly the role of the United States, and expresses sympathy for resistance groups. The conversation also delves into the complexities of morality and violence in the context of the conflict. Rathbone argues against the condemnation of Palestinians for using violent resistance, noting historical examples of justified violence against oppressors. They also critique undercover Israeli operatives' use of deception, emphasizing its harmful impact on the Palestinian community. Furthermore, Rathbone explores the control of resources and exertion of power through the examples of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and U.S.-Israeli relationship. He calls for recognition of historical decisions and their consequences and warns of the potential global consequences if such actions continue. #socialism #socialist #communism #communist #leftistmemes #politics #marxism #antifa #anarchism #liberal #anarchist #trump #politicalmemes #leftism #democrat #memes #anarchy #republican #anticapitalism #antifascist #acab #revolution #meme #left #conservative #blm #anarchocommunism #ancom #blacklivesmatter Key Moments 00:00:00 Intro 00:05:00 New Orleans 00:10:00 agitating, educating, and organizing 00:15:00 The power to overthrow capitalism 00:20:00 ongoing conflicts in Yemen and Gaza 00:25:00 common arguments used by Zionists 00:30:00 the massacre at Deir Yasin 00:35:00 Warsaw Ghetto Uprising and the Nat Turner Rebellion 00:40:00 morally justified violence against the oppressor is not terrorism 00:45:00 long-term effects of imperialism 00:50:00 control of resources, food and oil 00:55:00 cutting off water, electricity, and fuel supplies John Waters | Legendary Film Maker https://youtu.be/XttAjMmiPzE Bill Ayers | Anarchism & Socialism | Weathermen Underground | #98 HR https://youtu.be/EVz7Xa_6eRg A Conversation with Cory Doctorow | Author, Journalist & Activist #155 HR https://youtu.be/wXn9wy5bHq0 https://linktr.ee/ChrisJeffries The Homeless Romantic Podcast https://chris-jeffries.com DONATE TO US! https://patreon.com/thehomelessromantic MUSIC INTRO by @JustinLepard

Chris Jeffries and The Plant Geezer tackle various arguments against veganism. One argument is that bringing up a child vegan is child abuse.They counter this claim by pointing out the ethical inconsistency of teaching children compassion towards humans but allowing speciesism towards animals. They also debunk the misconception that more animals are killed in vegan agriculture than meat production, as demonstrated by a UN study. Furthermore, the video addresses the misconception that vegan food produces more "dead animals" than meat production. They argue that this is false, as livestock consume large amounts of food themselves, and the majority of crops used for animal agriculture are used to feed livestock rather than humans. They also touch upon the importance of respecting food choices and the transition of some indigenous communities to plant-based diets due to climate change and other challenges. Ultimately, the video encourages viewers to consider the ethical implications of their food choices and question societal norms.

We discuss various ethical concerns surrounding capital punishment and methods of execution. They critique Alabama's failed attempt to use nitrogen gas for executions following the unavailability of lethal injection drugs, expressing opposition to the psychological torture of waiting for execution. While discussing countries with high execution rates, they mention the use of nitrogen gas in China, Iran, Saudi Arabia, and the United States, raising concerns regarding the human rights violations and unsanitary prison conditions. The conversation also covers the legal differences in drug offenses across countries, with a focus on the severe punishments in China and Iran. A humorous anecdote about the hosts' experiences with drugs in different countries leads the discussion, followed by a description and skepticism toward an old, wooden object used in past executions. Overall, the hosts delve into the morality and efficacy of these punishments, providing an insightful perspective on capital punishment and human rights.#podcast #socialism #socialist #communism #communist #leftistmemes #politics #marxism #antifa #anarchism #liberal #anarchist #trump #politicalmemes #leftism #democrat #memes #anarchy #republican #anticapitalism #antifascist #acab #revolution #meme #left #conservative #blm #anarchocommunism #ancom #blacklivesmatter Key Moments 00:00:00 Intro 00:05:00 nitrogen gas in executions 00:10:00 executions in China 00:15:00 Beating people with canes John Waters | Legendary Film Maker https://youtu.be/XttAjMmiPzE Bill Ayers | Anarchism & Socialism | Weathermen Underground | #98 HR https://youtu.be/EVz7Xa_6eRg A Conversation with Cory Doctorow | Author, Journalist & Activist #155 HR https://youtu.be/wXn9wy5bHq0 https://linktr.ee/ChrisJeffries The Homeless Romantic Podcast https://chris-jeffries.com DONATE TO US! https://patreon.com/thehomelessromantic MUSIC INTRO by @JustinLepard

Cybersecurity expert Bruce Schneier discusses the challenges of applying traditional systems like democracy and capitalism to the information age. He argues that these outdated systems are struggling to adapt to the complexities of modern technology, leading to power imbalances and issues like slow regulation. Schneier expresses a desire to find new solutions and a greater role for regulatory bodies in counterbalancing corporate power. He also discusses the challenges of securing democracy in the digital age, particularly in relation to social media and fake news. Topics addressed include market dynamics, network effects, and the need for new ways to regulate companies and protect consumer rights in the face of rapidly evolving technologies, such as DRM and facial recognition.

Professor Leila Farsakh's discussion on the global perspectives of the Israeli-Gaza conflict reveals differing viewpoints among various regions: The global North, including the EU and US, criticize Israel's use of military force against civilians while acknowledging its need for self-defense. They call for a political solution but are not actively pushing for a ceasefire. The global South and Islamic World advocate for a ceasefire and assert Western hypocrisy regarding Palestinian rights vs. other conflicts, urging a two-state solution. Middle Eastern countries, including Egypt, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey, seek a political solution while balancing regional order and addressing potential fallout from the conflict. With the shifting power structure globally, there is a growing presence and activism of Palestinian and Jewish voices for peace, particularly in the US, advocating for international law and preserving human rights for all parties involved John Waters | Legendary Film Maker https://youtu.be/XttAjMmiPzE Bill Ayers | Anarchism & Socialism | Weathermen Underground | #98 HR https://youtu.be/EVz7Xa_6eRg A Conversation with Cory Doctorow | Author, Journalist & Activist #155 HR https://youtu.be/wXn9wy5bHq0 #gaza #palestine #freepalestine #israel #jerusalem #palestina #vybzkartel #savepalestine #dancehall #westbank #islam #bds #palestinian #gazanation #gazaunderattack #jamaica #apartheid #savegaza #bbc #cnn #vybzkartelvines #palestinians #nakba #boycottisrael #muslim #freeworldboss #palestinianlivesmatter #handsoffalaqsa https://linktr.ee/ChrisJeffries The Homeless Romantic Podcast https://chris-jeffries.com DONATE TO US! https://patreon.com/thehomelessromantic MUSIC INTRO by @JustinLepard

Cory Doctorow explains the fundamental differences between feudalism and capitalism, primarily focusing on land ownership and the means of production. Feudal lords owned and controlled land, requiring peasants to work it and pay rent, while capitalists provided capital and freed workers from the land, leading to their proletarianization and wage labor in factories. Feudal lords aimed for land acquisition as a means of growth, while capitalists focused on improving production efficiency. Capitalists sought to make profits, while landlords profited from business competition. Doctorow emphasizes the importance of grasping these distinctions for leftists, as they reveal significant divisions within the adversaries' ranks What the Future will Bring | Cory Doctorow | The Lost Cause | #203 HR Podcast https://youtu.be/6_Vq8qW2A8I The Lost Cause https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/65213928 John Waters | Legendary Film Maker https://youtu.be/XttAjMmiPzE Bill Ayers | Anarchism & Socialism | Weathermen Underground | #98 HR https://youtu.be/EVz7Xa_6eRg A Conversation with Cory Doctorow | Author, Journalist & Activist #155 HR https://youtu.be/wXn9wy5bHq0 https://linktr.ee/ChrisJeffries The Homeless Romantic Podcast https://chris-jeffries.com DONATE TO US! https://patreon.com/thehomelessromantic MUSIC INTRO by @JustinLepard

Is Coffee Good For You? Dr. Greger tells us! We discuss coffee's health benefits, such as its positive impact on the liver, brain, and longevity, are examined. However, coffee has potential drawbacks, including worsening acid reflux disease, bone loss, and glaucoma. The long-term use of decaf and regular coffee appears to offer similar longevity benefits, and there's insufficient data about alternatives like Postum or cereal coffee. While caffeine might temporarily reduce brain blood flow, its long-term impact on health is not substantial. Approximately 12% of coffee drinkers may live longer due to increased alertness, making it beneficial for certain professions. Coffee enemas are discouraged due to risks, and Dr. Greger cautions against trusting studies with conflicted funding sources, like the Italian Coffee Association How Not to Age: The Scientific Approach to Getting Healthier As You Get Older https://www.amazon.de/How-Not-Age-Scientific-Healthier/dp/1250796334 Jordi Casamitjana | Being an Ethical Vegan | Zoologist & Vegan | #82 HR https://youtu.be/JvKWc85xT60 Prof. Andrew Knight | Can Dogs and Cats Be VEGAN?! | Animal Welfare | #87 HR https://youtu.be/2X4oNHWeHjk Dr. John McDougall | The Truth About Vegans | Plant-Based Living | #83 HR https://youtu.be/MsemGMVyY5M John Waters | Legendary Film Maker https://youtu.be/XttAjMmiPzE Dr. Neal Barnard MD | Reversing Diabetes | Eating Healthy | #91 HR https://youtu.be/vmT_EhGOdiE How Easy is Going Vegan? | John Oberg | Animal Rights Activist #142 HR https://youtu.be/rKNXq5myR7E Bill Ayers | Anarchism & Socialism | Weathermen Underground | #98 HR https://youtu.be/EVz7Xa_6eRg Dr. Melanie Joy | What Is Carnism? | Social Psychologist | #93 HR https://youtu.be/O4kyRQ7fj0s #meetyourmeat #plantbasedfood #righttolive #veganmeme #endanimalabuse #veganyoutube #youbuytheydie #veganmemeshare #veganblogger #cubeof #followbackfridaytruth #vegans #veganactivist #friendsnotfood #vegangirl #dairyfree #meatfree #veganinspiration #veganfoodlovers #animals #compassion #veganforlife #veganfoodie #veganforthem #plantpower #veganuary #follow #speciesism #veganworld #plantbaseddiet https://linktr.ee/ChrisJeffries The Homeless Romantic Podcast https://chris-jeffries.com DONATE TO US! https://patreon.com/thehomelessromantic MUSIC INTRO by @JustinLepard

In "How Not To Age," Dr. Michael Greger talks about the eating habits of centenarians, drawing from research in areas known as "blue zones" where people live longest and healthiest. These individuals mainly consume whole plant foods, limit processed items, meat, dairy, eggs, sugar, and salt, favoring fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes, nuts, seeds, mushrooms, and herbs. Dr. Greger also discusses the debate around coffee consumption and aging, stating that long-term health isn't impaired despite short-term brain and arterial effects. He advises on optimal coffee consumption, such as filtered brewed coffee for the highest antioxidant benefits. Furthermore, Dr. Greger touches on topics like inflammation reduction through diet, natural anti-aging remedies, managing stress, and the impact of the food industry on health. He provides insights on increasing anti-aging enzyme AMPK through vinegar and black cumin, maintaining healthy blood sugar, and minimizing stress through healthy lifestyle choices.

Chris Jeffries and Plant Geezer discuss the challenges and misconceptions surrounding veganism. They highlight the mean-spiritedness of some within the vegan community, which makes it difficult to gain traction with non-vegans. They also address arguments against veganism, such as humans being omnivores, and dismiss them as flawed. The speakers stress the importance of not picking and choosing which injustices to care about and emphasize the need for cultural change in order to gain majority support for veganism. They also discuss the influence of capitalism and government subsidies in promoting unhealthy eating habits and the need to address food addiction. Despite the challenges, they express hope that the vegan revolution can overcome these obstacles.

My Friend Dr. Melanie Joy, a Harvard-educated clinical and social psychologist, discusses her new book where she argues that all forms of injustice, including violence towards animals, humans, and the environment, share the same underlying structure and mentality. She also explores the concept of relational dysfunction, which stems from a non-relational mentality that disconnects individuals from their empathy and rational thoughts, leading to unjust actions and infighting within social movements. Dr. Joy emphasizes the importance of building relational literacy to combat this mentality and create a more relational world where dignity is honored for all beings. Additionally, Dr. Joy addresses the detrimental effects of infighting within the vegan community and the impacts of chronic disregulation on individuals and communication. She encourages individuals to prioritize self-regulation, clear communication, and emotional intelligence to reduce toxicity within movements and maintain productivity and effective engagement New Book: How to End Injustice Everywhere: Understanding the Common Denominator Driving All Injustices, to Create a Better World for Humans, Animals, and the Planet https://www.amazon.com/How-End-Injustice-Everywhere-Understanding/dp/1590566866 Key Moments 00:00:00 Intro 00:05:00 relational dysfunction and injustice 00:10:00 infighting 00:15:00 infighting costs the vegan movement millions 00:20:00 INFighting.org 00:25:00 disregulation and its impact on individuals 00:30:00 lack of thoughtful and compassionate communication 00:35:00 practicing healthy relating through integrity Jordi Casamitjana | Being an Ethical Vegan | Zoologist & Vegan | #82 HR https://youtu.be/JvKWc85xT60 Prof. Andrew Knight | Can Dogs and Cats Be VEGAN?! | Animal Welfare | #87 HR https://youtu.be/2X4oNHWeHjk Dr. John McDougall | The Truth About Vegans | Plant-Based Living | #83 HR https://youtu.be/MsemGMVyY5M John Waters | Legendary Film Maker https://youtu.be/XttAjMmiPzE Dr. Neal Barnard MD | Reversing Diabetes | Eating Healthy | #91 HR https://youtu.be/vmT_EhGOdiE How Easy is Going Vegan? | John Oberg | Animal Rights Activist #142 HR https://youtu.be/rKNXq5myR7E Bill Ayers | Anarchism & Socialism | Weathermen Underground | #98 HR https://youtu.be/EVz7Xa_6eRg Dr. Melanie Joy | What Is Carnism? | Social Psychologist | #93 HR https://youtu.be/O4kyRQ7fj0s #meetyourmeat #plantbasedfood #righttolive #veganmeme #endanimalabuse #veganyoutube #youbuytheydie #veganmemeshare #veganblogger #cubeof #followbackfridaytruth #vegans #veganactivist #friendsnotfood #vegangirl #dairyfree #meatfree #veganinspiration #veganfoodlovers #animals #compassion #veganforlife #veganfoodie #veganforthem #plantpower #veganuary #follow #speciesism #veganworld #plantbaseddiet https://linktr.ee/ChrisJeffries The Homeless Romantic Podcast https://chris-jeffries.com DONATE TO US! https://patreon.com/thehomelessromantic MUSIC INTRO by @JustinLepard

My Friend Professor Leila Farsakh Leila Farsakh discusses her book "Rethinking Statehood in Palestine" and her research on the doctrine of self-determination and decolonization. Farsakh argues that the creation of a Palestinian state after the 67 War and the UN resolution 242 was doomed from the start, as Israeli settlements destroyed the possibility of having territorial integrity and continuity in a potential Palestinian state. Farsakh also advocates for an alternative understanding of statehood that focuses on democratic institutions and depoliticizing ethnic identity in order to create a more inclusive state. She also discusses the history and principles of Zionism, and how Israel's creation led to the displacement of two-thirds of the Palestinian population. Farsakh notes that Zionism was a colonialist movement that aimed to create a Jewish state as a project of salvation for the Jewish people. She discusses the hypocrisy of the global community's response to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, particularly how it is so different from their responses to the ongoing violence in Ukraine. Despite the challenges, Farsakh remains hopeful that a political solution is possible with the growing activism and support for Palestinian causes in the US, and notes the importance of respecting international law and the rule of law in order to resolve the conflict.

My friend Joseph Faison IV is a musician and songwriter from Nashville, Tennessee. He talks about his experiences living overseas, including time in Berlin, Greece, and a small village in Greece. During his time in Turkey, he faced difficulties obtaining the necessary documentation, leading to his departure for 90 days.

Napping in the noontime by some quaint stream birds singing songs way high up in oak trees my hand reaches for yours trembles and it shakes and crashes like so many ocean waves twenty more minutes of this my sleeping paradise twenty more minutes before I wake up alone, cold and outside I was dreaming of you all scared and lost all the people passed you by on the street and nobody bothered to stop and talk your hand it reached out for mine with a haunting smile you grabbed my coat and dragged my down to the ground then I woke up in a place I had never seen and spent the rest of my day trying to figure out what did that mean? The Homeless Romantic is a revolving cast of musicians who help bring my songwriting to life. The music is a disjointed poetic look the life of a 21st century vagabond. Hopping freight trains, dumpster diving, and various forms of petty crime in order to continue travelling and living. The disappointment of a traditional lifestyle, the rejection of everything conformist and the experience over 10 years, going from apathy to empathy. “If Lou Reed had lived in the ’30s and had an affinity for moonshine instead of heroin, he would sound dangerously close to the delicate rootsiness of what Chris Jeffries is creating. Combining the swagger of Mr. Reed with the bad-luck living and roaring fingerpicking of folk stalwarts like Lead Belly, Jeffries creates a sound that could be plucked straight out of your granddaddy’s Crosley. This three-song, self-titled EP also conjures images of Chris Adolf’s pre-Bad Weather California project, the Love Letter Band, which, like Jeffries himself, was stripped down, slightly psychotic and teetering on the verge of its own classification. Although Jeffries calls on a myriad of influences, he is close to creating a sound that is uniquely his own — and right at home on any chain gang.” –Andy Thomas, Westword Recorded in Hayward, CA 2014 Chris Jeffries-vocals organ piano percussion accordion guitar Harlan Rollins-upright bass Ben Andrews-violin Toby Mahan-Sanchez-guitar Salvatore Geloso- vocals Chelsea Hendrix- vocals Harlan Chancey- banjo Mary Jane- vocals A.J. - saxophone Paul "mendlesohn" Girourd mandolin Esme-vocals James Frost Winn- trumpet Josh Cole- Drums and samples Rhyne Erde-Drums Engineered by Justin Beaudry #folkmusic #folk #music #singersongwriter #musician #livemusic #guitar #countrymusic #songwriter #acousticguitar #singer #acoustic #newmusic #folkmusician #folkrock #rock #worldmusic #indiemusic #americana #musica #acousticmusic #indie #indiefolk #art #blues

My whole worth and purpose on this earth's surface since birth has been to die we might turn to rust or disintegrate to dust but there will be no time to wonder why when the whole you been digging in you are comfortable living in you will be as far away as you have ever been when things never change you get addicted to pain when do you begin to see you'll never win but i'm not trying to worry about how i'm dying i'll go out like I came in naked and crying naked and crying naked and crying when the road that you travel on leads you to babylon paradise will fill your eyes my home is the globe with my wheels on the road and the stars are shining bright on me tonight i've been asking and guessing the answers to the questions that don't exist and probably never will but the places i've been and the ones in my dreams make it hard for me to sit still but i'm not trying to worry about how i'm dying i'll go out like I came in naked and crying naked and crying naked and crying I wish that I was made to last just like a blade of grass i'll probably find what it is I need right here in this big heap of trash that consists of my past and tomorrow is the only thing we ever had to fear song sing me a song because soon i'll be gone something that celebrates our great escape life is too long but I might be wrong that's just something I say when the sky turns grey but i'm not trying to worry about how i'm dying i'll go out like I came in naked and crying naked and crying naked and crying The Homeless Romantic is a revolving cast of musicians who help bring my songwriting to life.

My friends MUGS and Pockets AKA Scarlet Monk and Swamburger discuss their musical influences including Sly Dunbar, James Brown, the Freestyle Fellowship, Jupiter, mic nine, and Brother Jay from X-Clan, Billy Holiday, Ace of Base, Madonna, Tupac, Biggie, Little Kim, and Missy Elliott. They both emphasize the importance of being able to piece together their compositions, and their influences have helped them develop their unique style. The conversation then shifts to a discussion of an upcoming EP and single coming out inspired by trip hop music, features a non-poppy, genuine sound that is true to its roots and draws inspiration from subgenres of jazz. https://linktr.ee/mugsandpockets https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCF3yckjflfS0EkdyvfbJFRQ https://www.instagram.com/mugsandpockets https://open.spotify.com/artist/3WfstUMoAuzszfbKUDaIzX?si=uiBXEyU9SXaUxtLsmJCNdg&nd=1 Key Moments 00:00:00 Intro 00:05:00 MUGS & POCKETS 00:10:00 originality and innovation in the music industry 00:15:00 Egos 00:20:00 MUGS and Pockets 00:25:00 finding the right people to work 00:30:00 second MUGS and POCKETS album 00:35:00 Outro A Conversation with Sage Francis | Hip Hop Legend | #167 HR https://youtu.be/2oUnrYXEqoI John Waters | Legendary Film Maker https://youtu.be/XttAjMmiPzE A Conversation with MOPES | Strange Famous Records | #179 HR https://youtu.be/8t5F5ZH_8bQ Survival of the Richest | A Conversation with Douglas Rushkoff | #158 HR https://youtu.be/YVEhh8W1TXo Bill Ayers | Anarchism & Socialism | Weathermen Underground | #98 HR https://youtu.be/EVz7Xa_6eRg A Conversation with Cory Doctorow | Author, Journalist & Activist #155 HR https://youtu.be/wXn9wy5bHq0 #sagefrancis #strangefamous #strangefamousrecords #hiphop #sfr #mugsandpockets #epicbeardmen #vinyl #vonnegutbusy #coppergone #bdolan #boombap #rap #speechdevelopmentrecords #sdr #independentlabel #independenthiphop #speechdevelopment #undergroundhiphop #moesalley #santacruz #strangefamoustilthegravetakesus #nowplaying #creativeminds #wax #records #yoniwolf #repost #audiovisualbrasileiro #amsomewhere https://linktr.ee/ChrisJeffries The Homeless Romantic Podcast https://chris-jeffries.com DONATE TO US! https://patreon.com/thehomelessromantic MUSIC INTRO by @JustinLepard Justin Lepard Psychedelic Cello

I guess some people get lost along the way you have to let go of the people you used to know you make a change and then it rains when it dries you realize everything is clean again a deep clean is needed to find the things i'm missing i'll sweep the floors and do all the dishes take out the trash throw away a piece of the past and if anybody asks you can tell them that everything is clean again when old man winter rears his ugly head frozen flakes fall from the heavens the trees will die and you and I will stay inside and see with our eyes everything is clean again The Homeless Romantic is a revolving cast of musicians who help bring my songwriting to life.

My friend Dr. Sherri A. "Sam" Mason discusses the detrimental effects of chemical inputs in the manufacturing process of plastic products and the resulting plastic pollution. She emphasizes the need for industries to prioritize sustainability and consider the environmental impact of their creations. Dr. Mason also explores the health risks associated with microplastics and plastic pollution, including the potential connection to neurological disorders. She highlights the lack of education on ecotoxicology in the chemistry curriculum, and the need for more collective action to address chemical toxicity and its impact on the environment and public health. Lastly, she encourages individuals to take action and make changes to protect wildlife, animals, and the environment.

My friend Dave Cannon, a fish biologist, recounting his experiences and sharing his views on various environmental issues. As a child, his interest in nature was sparked by fishing and catching snakes, which later led him to a career in fish biology. He has worked in various capacities, including in Idaho dealing with endangered salmon and steelhead, and facing abuse from ranchers and miners. In this section, he discusses the challenges that biologists face in protecting natural habitats and preserving threatened species. Later in the section, Cannon talks about his efforts to create a movie about ADD and its causes. He notes that he believes ADD is a dysfunction that needs rehabilitation, and that the structures of the human mind remain unchanged, leading to the same evils being recreated. He also discusses Hollywood's desire for a one sentence logline to pitch the movie and mentions that his movie may follow a non-traditional, scattered format like a Robert Altman film. In this part of the transcript excerpt, the speaker also discusses his vision to make a full-length feature film about a scientist known as the Donkey, a biologist who is passionate about making a difference by reaching the masses in a unique way. Cannon is facing challenges in finding the right people who are passionate about the environment and mental illness, and who can help him create a compelling story about psychology and sustainability. Throughout this section, Cannon touches on various environmental issues, including loss of biodiversity, bycatch fishing, and climate change. He also discusses the interconnected nature of these crises and the urgent need for action. Additionally, he talks about the term "soul nostalgia," a type of environmental grief loss experienced by those who have lost their home or their immediate or environmental surroundings Key Moments 00:00:00 Intro 00:05:00 fish biologist in the Pacific Northwest 00:10:00 publishing environment has changed 00:15:00 Eckhart Tolle 00:20:00 full-length feature film 00:25:00 meta crisis 00:35:00 modern society 00:40:00 human impact on the environment 00:45:00 pets and the value of companionship 00:50:00 living life to the fullest and finding meaning and purpose in what we do Jordi Casamitjana | Being an Ethical Vegan | Zoologist & Vegan | #82 HR https://youtu.be/JvKWc85xT60 Prof. Andrew Knight | Can Dogs and Cats Be VEGAN?! | Animal Welfare | #87 HR https://youtu.be/2X4oNHWeHjk Dr. John McDougall | The Truth About Vegans | Plant-Based Living | #83 HR https://youtu.be/MsemGMVyY5M John Waters | Legendary Film Maker https://youtu.be/XttAjMmiPzE Dr. Neal Barnard MD | Reversing Diabetes | Eating Healthy | #91 HR https://youtu.be/vmT_EhGOdiE How Easy is Going Vegan? | John Oberg | Animal Rights Activist #142 HR https://youtu.be/rKNXq5myR7E Bill Ayers | Anarchism & Socialism | Weathermen Underground | #98 HR https://youtu.be/EVz7Xa_6eRg Dr. Melanie Joy | What Is Carnism? | Social Psychologist | #93 HR https://youtu.be/O4kyRQ7fj0s #biology #science #neet #chemistry #nature #physics #microbiology #biologia #biotechnology #medicine #medical #research #education #biochemistry #aiims #bio #scientist #doctor #biologystudent #cellbiology #zoology #laboratory #mbbs #molecularbiology #lab #biologymemes #wildlife #biotech #medico #medicalstudent https://linktr.ee/ChrisJeffries The Homeless Romantic Podcast https://chris-jeffries.com DONATE TO US! https://patreon.com/thehomelessromantic MUSIC INTRO by @JustinLepard Justin Lepard Psychedelic Cello
