In this podcast, Frank and I look at the dangers of our fatalistic acceptance of the ‘New Normal’. Together we question if the defining feature of our Western culture is one of vulnerability and the consequence this has on individual agency. At a societal level, the promotion of safety as a first order value is at the detriment of freedom which if no longer valued can pave the way for authoritarianism. We are witnessing a reluctance to embrace freedom which demonstrates how our passivity is an acceptance of paternalistic tendencies. Are we witnessing a creep toward a life steeped in technology where humanity opts to interact from the ‘comfort’ of home? Is this the future that we truly desire and how do we become the authors of our own destiny? Join our mailing list to receive our latest content and campaigns: http://www.danastingregory.com/podcast

Follow the science is a phrase that we became all too familiar with over the course of the pandemic. Whilst the jury may still be out, it is becoming increasingly clear that following the science may not have been the best advice after all. Ann Bauer has experienced this first hand previously in her own life with her battle to find a solution to her son’s autism and quickly found many parallels to the dizzying madness of the changing restrictions and rules throughout the response to Covid-19

Not only is the world facing war, Western society is becoming increasingly divided, fragmented and polarised. Can humankind evolve to find greater peace amongst ourselves?

In this interview we look at the importance of critical-thinking and the ethical considerations of sacrifice for the ‘greater good’. We consider the difference between action that emerges from free will versus that which is arises from a coercive force and ask if the real pandemic one of compliance and complacency?

Elon Musk reached an agreement to buy Twitter (TWTR) for roughly $44bn (£34.6bn), promising to make online speech freer and restore the “de facto public town square”. The deal has been received with a combination of mixed and largely over the top reactions, but what power does one man have to transform free speech in the digital world in the face of new legislation like the Online Safety Bill in the UK and the Digital Services Act in Europe?

“Follow the science" is a phrase that we became all too familiar with over the course of the pandemic, but is it right to place so much trust in the experts? In this episode I am joined by author Ann Bauer, recently known for her article entitled ‘I Have Been Through This Before’, where she outlined the parallels between her experience of dealing with the ‘experts’ in her battle to find a solution to her late son’s autism and the dizzying madness of the response to Covid-19. Join us as Ann recounts her story and we explore why placing so much trust in the ‘experts’ could be flawed.

Professor Frank Furedi joins the Elevate Podcast this evening to offer a cautionary tale about the ‘New Normal’ and look at where it may all be heading. Join us to explore how we can preserve human agency and become the authors of our own destiny. Professor Frank Furedi will likely be a familiar face to our audience. Back in June 2021, Frank joined our Question Everything summit where he spoke about the illusory trade off between freedom and safety. He has been widely cited about his views on why Western societies find it so difficult to engage with risk and uncertainty and in this interview we explore whether the emerging characteristics of our present culture threaten our individual agency. Professor Furedi has produced a series of impactful books that have challenged the status quo and been widely discussed in the media. His writings have been translated into 13 languages and he regularly comments on international radio and television.
