  • The ’50s, ’60s, Societal Changes & Cycles | with Loralee | Ep. 25

    20 MAR 2021 · Loralee Scaife returns, incidentally on the spring equinox. Our seed topic is her experiences growing up during the 1950s and 1960s. Many rightly see the degeneracy of today but then go on to simply glorify the 1950s while vilifying the 1960s. We will, as always, take both a more nuanced and wider perspective. Themes of meaning, spirituality, and reanimating myths also factored into the discussion.

  • Being Integrated & Present in an Age of Distraction Learning in Public 5

    5 SEP 2020 · This unplanned “wildcard” conversation began with exploring the nature of communicating publicly in the Internet age and developed into various directions that all centered around the notions of presence and deliberate, conscious choices in one’s life. These themes were explored with an eye on re-claiming these parts of ourselves, indeed integrating ourselves, not as a way to deny or walk away from the modern world, but to help heal it.

We are living in a time of tremendous change in the world, perhaps even a transition between epochs. Using our thought and speech to the best we can on this show, we commit to navigate the questions and challenges of such times.

We take a spirit and intention of harmony and holistic thinking as our guide, seeking to avoid many either/or pitfalls that too easily result in confusion, disintegration, and harm.

This does not mean rendering everything limply neutral and “moderate,” for we primarily believe in a harmony between curious openness and strong boundaries.

We lament the loss of meaning, purpose and virtue that many modern people experience, but can also critique older notions whose blind spots got us here, or examine nefarious schemes currently pushing anti-life agendas—even if these are publicly presented as “evolved,” “enlightened,” and “inevitable.”

We can enjoy the spread of ideas and resources, the increased mobility and interconnectivity in a globalized world, while fiercely advocating for the beautiful distinctions that mark the continued stories of unique peoples and cultures--of course most apt to address and rehabilitate our own as men of European descent. 

We believe in truth, beauty and goodness and see how irony and nihilism are wrecking peoples’ lives.

All the while we insist on a generous spirit where appropriate and keep a lightness in our hearts, for the world certainly doesn’t need any more bitterness.
