Cory Doctorow discusses his latest book, "The Lost Cause" which explores a future where humans adapt to a post-climate apocalypse and embrace radical changes to harness 0.4% of the sun's energy. Doctorow also talks about the origins of money and the roles of governments and markets. He critiques rents, intermediaries, and rent-seeking in the technology sector, discussing Uber's history of violating competition laws and its transformative impact on the industry. Doctorow emphasizes the need for competition law enforcement and legislation to level the playing field for small businesses and prevent monopolies. He also touches upon the historical context of Marxist theory and the interplay between competition and regulation. Throughout the conversation, Doctorow raises concerns about the concentration of power and wealth in the technology sector and its potential impact on the future.

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. Dr. Greger criticizes the influence of food industries on nutrition science and encourages listeners to educate themselves and make informed decisions for their health Key Moments 00:00:00 dietary habits of centenarians 00:05:00 coffee consumption and longevity 00:10:00 inflammation in aging 00:15:00 anti-aging enzyme called AMPK 00:20:0 80% of chronic diseases are preventable 00:25:00 influence of the food industry on nutrition science 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

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 Matthew Brockmeyer discusses the history of the family and the events that led to the filming of the movie "The Conjuring." Brockmeyer explains how the family thought the country house they bought was not trouble, but strange things started happening, including the appearance of a ghost. He also highlights how the witch is not as infamous as many believe and that the Family members were advised not to unboard the chimneys due to an old superstition about ghosts and chimneys.

My Friend Andrew Alexander shares his journey to becoming vegan and discusses the challenges and opportunities he has encountered within the vegan community. He talks about the support he received from the community during the creation of his documentary, the importance of leveraging existing systems to make veganism more accessible and less socially conditioned, and the growing number of activists and influencers within the vegan community. Alexander believes that while there are challenges to growing the vegan movement, the potential rewards of creating a more compassionate and ethical world make it worthwhile.

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?

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.

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

My friend Jeremy Gregory speaks about Tindakan, an eco-social justice organization that works to expand the capacity of non-profits advocating for eco-social justice. The organization seeks to inspire positive action in communities through events like concerts, festivals, and workshops. Gregory explains his personal journey to becoming more focused on animal rights and protection as he grew older, inspired by a National Geographic article he read at a young age. He also talks about a new project called the "Global Coffee Solution" that aims to develop sustainable coffee growing methods that do not harm ecosystems or endanger wildlife. Additionally, Gregory discusses the importance of having a positive mindset and incorporating meditation and pranayama into one's daily routine, and the challenges of finding time for activities we enjoy as we get older. https://www.tindakan.org/ Key Moments 00:00:00 Intro 00:05:00 Sustainability and the planet 00:10:00 the topic of veganism can be a sensitive 00:15:00 Global Coffee Solution 00:20:00 the Mesoamerican Development Institute 00:25:00 Positive mindset and incorporating meditation 00:30:00 Tindakan 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 Justin Lepard Psychedelic Cello

My friend Dr. Elaine Ingham explains the concept of the soil food web and emphasizes the importance of nurturing a healthy soil ecosystem for plant growth. The soil food web consists of bacteria, fungi, protozoa, nematodes, and microarthropods, all of which play a crucial role in providing nutrients to plants. By reintroducing these organisms into the soil, plants can communicate their nutrient needs and receive the necessary minerals. Dr. Ingham also discusses the functions of the soil food web, including nutrient cycling, building soil structure, promoting plant health, and preventing the growth of disease-causing organisms. She highlights the detrimental effects of toxic chemicals and pesticides on soil microbes and encourages the use of compost, cover crops, and organic methods to rebuild soil structure and promote a balanced ecosystem. The video also covers topics such as the effects of different organisms on soil health, the importance of avoiding harmful nematodes, the risks of introducing different biomes into compost, and the impact of smoking and cannabis cultivation on soil contamination. Dr. Ingham concludes by recommending experimentation and observation of local conditions to understand and enhance soil biodiversity.

My friend Matthew Brockmeyer discusses the case of Austin Harrouff, a man who in 2016 claimed to be a werewolf and murdered two people in Florida. We explore the myth of werewolves and its potential influence on real-life criminal behavior. We also discuss the issue of class and privilege in the United States, as Harrouff was a student in physical education and came from a privileged background. We also discuss the case of John R. Douglas and Mark Olshaker, who were convicted of murdering five women and two children in a home in 1984. Douglas, who claimed to be a werewolf, believed that he had been cursed to kill children to protect them from evil. The hosts discuss the implications of dangerous mental illnesses and the use of shock therapy as a form of treatment.

My friend Vivek Chibber discusses his journey into academia and his experiences as a left-wing social theorist. He explains how his upbringing and his personality led him to pursue academic research, and how he was fortunate enough to find a good place to do his Ph.D. and obtain a decent job. Chibber touches on the concept of empathy and how it is an inherent aspect of human beings, but notes that it is difficult to build a politics based on empathy alone, as it can clash with our desire to defend our material interests. He argues that capitalism forces us to make immoral decisions in order to succeed, and that success in many occupations requires engaging in what he calls "correctly sociopathic behavior."
