Rethinking Humanity

In this bit of bonus content, we get out on the streets (or... the beltline) of Atlanta to find out what people think about some of the themes we've been discussing on the podcast. We share the conversations we had with The Jacksons, Keenan (IG: @Keenanismagic), Ramz (IG: @mideast.18), Nour (IG: @nourbeezy), and Moni (IG: @ monisofetch) about self love and self care, and what an extra influx of cash each month might mean for them. A special thanks to each of them for their time and for sharing their thoughts with us. If you want to see photos of the time we spent on the beltline speaking with these lovely folks on Saturday, visit our instagram page @rethinkinghumanityAlso, special thanks to Troy Lynch of @decide.brand (IG) for getting out there with us.Episode Credits - Executive Producer: Lacey Delayne - Technical Production: Lacey Delayne/Victor Ho --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/rethinkinghumanity/messageSupport this podcast: https://anchor.fm/rethinkinghumanity/support This is a public episode.

In this interview with Amelia Pang, the Author of Made in China: A Prisoner, An SOS Letter, and the Hidden Cost of our Consumption, we discuss the dark realities of the source of much of our retail purchases. We make the connection to Erich Fromm's writings from the 1970's about the need for Sane Consumption (Episode 14), as we see that part of the problem around the labor camps that produce much, if not most, of the products we purchase, is the need for incredibly speedy turnarounds on products due to consumer demands. We also talk about ways consumers can help to end this inhumane practice of abusive forced labor for the humans in China.Amelia Pang on Twitter: @ameliapangg  Instagram: @cheekroses Her book Made in China was released in early February and is in stores nationwide for purchase right now.--- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/rethinkinghumanity/messageSupport this podcast: https://anchor.fm/rethinkinghumanity/support This is a public episode.

In episode 20, we continue our discussion from before our month on the theme of love - in Fromm's ideas on how to build a society based on the being mode - a society where we can live and flourish in our human nature, and not have to suppress it due to the needs of the demanding capitalistic machine. We discuss three of the many ways he suggested we do that. Ending brainwashing methods in political and industrial advertising, closing the gap between rich and poor nations, and implementing a Guaranteed Yearly Income. Fromm was for basic income! That is exciting and enlightening news. We talk about why its important to end the brainwashing (spoiler alert - we have lost control of our minds as a result!) and close the gap between the rich and poor nations. We also share many reasons why a basic income just makes sense, and would be a great idea to implement. We start out by discussing the probable passing of the stimulus package, discussing exciting upcoming interviews with Amelia Pang and Sherry Turkle, as well as a recent new blog post by Lacey entitled I Hate the Word Should (Found at LaceyDelayne.Medium.com).Our new email address is rethinkinghumanitypodcast@gmail.com, please feel free to shoot us an email sharing your thoughts on the podcast!

Yea, we know it's already March...but we had to do oneeee more episode on the theme of love!  To start episode 19, we discuss where we are about a year into the pandemic with regards to recovery as a nation from a health perspective as well as an economic perspective. We also reveal what our exciting news is for April 3, the 1st year anniversary of the podcast. And marvel at the fact that we have been doing the podcast for a year now!  Diving into the content, we discuss what self love is, what it isn't and why it is important. We also mention some ways we can show ourselves self love once we have realized it is an awesome thing to prioritize in our lives.  The outro is a throwback to episode 14, in which we discussed the ugliness of bureaucracy and the need for a new model for interaction and management of peoples and societies.

In this episode we discuss bell hooks' book All About Love. We examine the confusion of the meaning of love. Our primary relationships form our idea of love which can include dysfunction and at times abuse. Our emotional and physical connection with others can be confused with love. We discuss love being a verb and not a noun. Love is an active choice. Society presents a consumer driven version of love both in movies, literature, and advertising. We begin the conversation about self-love and the importance of being able to love yourself before loving others.Our new email address is rethinkinghumanitypodcast@gmail.com, please feel free to shoot us an email sharing your thoughts on the podcast!
