Rebel Wisdom

What would a new operating system for society look like? In 2013, Jim Rutt brought together a group of thinkers from different fields to work on the biggest of all problems. In time it developed a name, 'Game~B'.   The in-person project ran into the ground after a year, but continued as an online meeting place.   Recently there has been a new wave of interest in the term. What can be learned from the story of the original project?   Note: These interviews are from 2019, and were intended for a larger film about Game B, with more interviews with the original members - it is being published now in an incomplete form.   Apologies to those not featured.   You can also view our films on our YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/c/RebelWisdom/featured   You can also become a Rebel Wisdom member, for many benefits including our regular Q&As with the interviewees from our films, check out: https://www.rebelwisdom.co.uk/plans

This is an audio version of David Icke & London Real, an Investigation which was published on the Rebel Wisdom YouTube site May 2nd 2020. On 6th April, London Real broadcast an interview with 'conspiracy researcher' David Icke. In it he claimed that Covid-19 was "a hoax" and that 5G was designed for a "mass cull". YouTube took it down. In the wake of this the owner of London Real, Brian Rose launched a crowdfunding campaign for what he called the "Digital Freedom Platform". This has raced to nearly $1m in just over a week.

Over the last month, Rebel Wisdom has been interviewing some of the brightest minds in systems change and complexity to make sense of the crisis and possible responses to it. One thing that has emerged in these conversations is the importance of understanding myth and stories to contextualise what we're experiencing. Rebel Wisdom's Alexander Beiner interviewed three people with an understanding of how myths, stories and wisdom traditions give us a new insight into the crisis: Zak Stein, Stephen Jenkinson and Charlotte du Cann. Here, we weave these conversations together with ideas we've explored on the channel in the past to look at the mythopoetic landscape of the pandemic. This film is accompanied by an article on our Medium page that explores the ideas in the film in more detail:https://medium.com/rebel-wisdom/traversing-the-underworld-what-myth-can-teach-us-during-the-pandemic-802d07683d44
