Stephen explains what biomechanics is, and what's wrong with it and the traditional view of anatomy. We look at the limitations and outdatedness of Newtonian physics applied to anatomy, how the body is a "slave to the mind", and how anatomy is social and psychological. We look at how children move, and how conformity is embodied and how we can find freedom through feeling and play. We also discuss teaching vs. facilitation/coaching. This one starts out being geeky and becomes revolutionary! We end with a discussion of how movement is love and an exercise in breaking norms. http://www.themovementman.com https://www.facebook.com/stephen.braybrook.1 http://amzn.eu/igd4u0G

Guest anthropologist, ecologist, biologist and technology blogger Gerald joins Mark from Austria. They discuss the geek way of embodiment, wearable technology (e.g. Fitbit), anti-body addictions, heroic endeavours, missions to Mars, what's wrong with the Matrix movies, and ecology; including body-hating and genocidal tendencies within environmentalism. They also hit on Chinese and post-Nazi Austrian embodiment, and healthy vs. unhealthy nationalism, as embodied culture is explored on the show once again. They look at how technology, marathons and extreme or "ultra" sports, and even eating chilli (Gerard is an expert), can be embodying and disembodying, and the dangers of judging any activity from appearances. A fun quirky one. Guest anthropologist, ecologist, biologist and technology blogger Gerald joins Mark from Austria.
