Our world is unraveling at an accelerating pace. War and conflict are spreading like contagion, ravaging the face of the earth. Our efforts to stop the contagion have hitherto been ineffectual as we reach for the same outworn playbooks over and over again. And yet, we can and must act quickly to stop the contagion and the heartrending suffering it brings. It is time to understand and shed the habits that have held us back and take bold new steps and try new paths we have never considered before. Join me as we explore once such path together.

In this episode we’ll shed light a set of corrosive habits that breed polarization and propose some antidotes to them.

If you're disheartened by the deepening polarization in our world, wonder whether we can ever overcome it and where we might even begin, then this conversation is for you! Join me to explore a few practical things we can each do daily to build our individual and collective muscles for what seems like an impossibly heavy lift.

In this episode we examine the fact and ways in which the current global system for tackling climate change is broken, how our false optimism that it will somehow magically succeed has stopped us from considering viable, effective alternatives, and what those alternatives might be, particularly one that I'd like to propose, for a World Parliament.

In this episode, we're going to consider one significant respect in which we've been able to successfully reimagine and reform our electoral system in the United States. in the years since this country was born, demonstrating that further reforms are possible if we can muster the conviction that they are achievable and work tirelessly to achieve them.

In this episode we highlight some ideas from the works of Arnold Toynbee, the famous 20th century world historian, about the stark choice that humanity would face in the atomic age of either achieving political unification or committing mass suicide and his prediction that in in the face of an existential threat brought about by circumstances of our own making, humanity would turn on a dime and voluntarily adopt a limited world-state even though it would likely do so kicking and screaming.

In this episode we explore the need to replace the outworn belief that the ends justify the means with a new, more constructive belief that the means must be as worthy as the ends.

In this episode we discuss the challenge before us of reconceptualizing and reframing our concepts of power, authority, and leadership so that we can equip ourselves to elect leaders fit to address the pressing needs and challenges of our turbulent times.
