My friend Professor Martin A. Klein discusses the factors that led to the coup in Mali. The coup was prompted by the soldiers' frustration with their losses on the field and their perception that the civilians weren't providing adequate support. This, combined with corruption, the fall of Gaddafi in Libya, the emergence of radical groups, and racist ideologies held by some groups, created instability in the country. The professor also highlights the involvement of Western powers and the challenges faced by civilian governments in providing support to the military. The coup in Mali is not an isolated incident, as there have been several coups or attempted coups in the country over the years due to various factors such as religious issues, nationalism, and soldiers' grievances.

My friend journalist Robert Whitaker discusses the truth about anti-depressants and the need to bridge the gap between the public perception of mental health and the evidence-based reality. He uncovers the historical perspective on psychiatric treatments and how the long-term studies in the 1960s and 1970s revealed the questionable efficacy of these drugs. Whitaker emphasizes the importance of making the scientific literature known to the public, as studies have shown that individuals who were stabilized off psychiatric medications had better outcomes compared to those who regularly took their medications. He also discusses the ironic truth about antidepressants, highlighting that they do not fix the "low serotonin" in depressed individuals but instead disrupt normal serotonin function and can lead to relapses and dependence. Whitaker argues for a more comprehensive understanding of mental health conditions and the consideration of alternative approaches to treatment.

My friend John Bellamy Foster, a professor emeritus of Sociology, discusses his journey towards Marxism and his interest in environmental issues. He explains how his involvement in the anti-Vietnam War movement led him to philosophical readings, and how subsequent events like the coup in Chile and economic crises reignited his passion for activism. Foster explains Marx's ecological critique of capitalism and how the concept of "metabolic rift" highlights the alienation between humans and nature caused by capitalism's focus on profit over sustainability. He also discusses the evolution of Marxist theory, the rise of financialization and its relationship to economic stagnation, the changes in the global labor market, and the rise of China. Foster touches on his book "Trump in the White House," which explores the relationship between Trump and neo-fascism. He also highlights the need for a fundamental transformation of society to achieve ecological sustainability, emphasizing the importance of degrowth and planning, and the need to shift towards zero net investment in rich countries. Foster concludes by emphasizing the urgency of investing in saving the planet and promoting sustainable human development, democracy, and equality.

My friend Dr. Guy McPherson Ph.D stops by to discuss the end of the world as we know it! Accordion to Dr. McPherson climate change and biodiversity collapse will kill of all human life by 2030. We discuss the different feedback loops that are creating an exponential collapse scenario including heat sinks of asphalt and concrete cities coupled with increased air conditioner usage. We also discuss the history of the greenhouse effect and the scientists who first discovered our role in the climate crisis. We also talk about the greatest comedian and modern day philosopher, George Carlin. This is a hilarious and frightening conversation with a brilliant and compassionate human being! https://guymcpherson.com/ CHECK OUT HIS YOUTUBE CHANNEL HERE: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCyerZPyOwZdwRQtV66L6VTA Guy R. McPherson is Professor Emeritus of conservation biology at the University of Arizona, where he taught and conducted research for twenty award-winning years. His scholarly work, which has for many years focused on the conservation of biological diversity, has produced more than a dozen books and hundreds of articles. Killing the Natives: A Retrospective Analysis Paperback https://www.amazon.com/dp/B099KV449F?ref_=pe_3052080_397514860 Ebook https://www.amazon.com/Killing-Natives-Retrospective-Guy-McPherson-ebook/dp/B0993SCYY3/ This new edition of “Killing the Natives,” critically evaluates the original edition published in 2004, McPherson’s book focused on cultural criticism. Nearly two decades of hindsight, along with the subsequent accumulation of evidence, allows for an important retrospective analysis. Earth is now experiencing a Mass Extinction Event, abrupt climate change, and the ongoing needs and desires of nearly eight billion people. Excerpt:"I think the original version of Chapter 1 has held up quite well since it was written. I was naïve about several topics when I penned Chapter 1 some two decades ago, yet the basic ideas I was attempting to transmit are still important and timely.It has become increasingly clear that we have failed in our, “responsibility to use our wealth and power to preserve—rather than exploit—other cultures, languages, and species.” The United States has not served as, “stewards of the world’s capital of natural and cultural resources.” Quite to the contrary, the United States has led the pursuit of life-destroying disaster capitalism.""Killing the Natives" connects the world of economics, the government, and social justice -- three enterprises that are inextricably linked despite the appearance given by laissez-faire economic policies. The intersection of environmental protection, social justice, and the human economy represents rich but essentially uncharted territory.

My Friend Sage Francis discusses his experiences touring in Germany and the unique dynamics he encountered with the German audience. He initially felt that the crowd was disengaged and unresponsive, but after his performance, he realized they were just being respectful and showed their appreciation individually. He also mentions that Germany has a strong hip-hop culture and love for graffiti. However, he found it increasingly difficult to promote his shows and engage with fans on social media in Germany due to a lack of social media engagement and the use of different platforms. Despite these challenges, he still has a love for Germany and would like to return in the future. He also briefly mentions some other countries he has toured in and highlights the beauty of Iceland's landscape. Sage Francis also touches on his collaborations with different artists, highlighting his favorite collaboration with Yann Tiersen on the song "The Best of Times." He expresses his preference for working in an insular and solitary manner and the abundance of beats he currently has waiting for him. Despite having multiple projects on the back burner, he hints at the possibility of releasing new music in the near future.
