Podcoin & Sweatcoin
The Sharing Economy has been here for a long time. It's interesting to consider that The Library is the sharing economies oldest friend, a safe place where knowledge and information is readily available, regardless of your ability to purchase books, or own them. Access is what's being valued, not...

Team Human and ThinkAgain, on The Verge of Social Currency
Rushkoff and Gots are both doing their part to explore the solutions and different perspectives needed in order to break out of the “my job is my identity and purpose” mindset. Their discussions about the higher order purpose and value of life, and what it means to be human is modern day improv...

10 Minute Must Read Books Pt.2 - Letters to a Young Contrarian by Christopher Hitchens
Our words can never hurt each other the way a fist, a bullet or a nuclear weapon can. And the day we forget that we have to use our words and our voices to problem solve, is the day modern civilization can perhaps wave goodbye to this trajectory of progress we've been on for over half a century....

Joe Rogan and Andrew Yang: AI - A Positive Outlook
Joe Rogan had presidential candidate Andrew Yang on his podcast last month, February of 2019 to discuss Yang's Universal Basic Income, or as he refers to it, “Freedom Dividend” centered platform. My initial reaction to just seeing this episode pop up in my feed, was....FINALLY... there's so much...

Trumps Wall Has Already Been Built
The United States southern border wall is one of the most discussed, divisive and sensitive issues on the worldwide stage. What does the wall represent? Is there anyone who has had their mind changed by a new perspective on this topic? This episode of Creating Utopia discusses the walls that have...

A Response to Jordan Peterson Regarding Climate Change: Where is Everyone who "Doesn't Understand"?
If you haven't listened to Peterson's breakdown of his thoughts regarding climate change in his podcast episode #59 with Bjorn Lomborg, I highly recommend it. It was interesting to listen to right after releasing my own episode on the topic, and wonderful to hear them discuss the issue from a...

Climate Change: A New Conversation to End the Argument
The conversation surrounding climate change has gone on for decades, and yet somehow, we still can't agree on the fundamental reality of what is taking place on our planet. Maybe we're so used to having conversations in terms of "Us vs. Them", or from the position of trying to prove someone else...

10 Minute Must Read Books Pt.1 - Lying by Sam Harris
The reason we have progressed as a species, specifically so remarkably in the past 100-200 years, is that some of us made a commitment to finding out what's true about the world, the universe, nature, reality, and ourselves. What is lying, really, and what are the consequences? Sam Harris is one…

Mental Wellness Pt. 2 & Jim Carrey
Mental Wellness, to build off of Part 1, is the concept that's going to be explored a little bit further. More specifically, the arbitrary nature of considering others' mental states to be illnesses and the potential consequences that can have is what's examined in this episode. Can it be that...

3rd or Alternative Political Parties & Ben Shapiro
I just listened to the recent Jordan Peterson podcast with Gregg Hurwitz, and I couldn't help but ask myself the entire time it felt – where were these thoughts in 2016, or 2012, or 2008? Campaign finance reform, admitting that the gerrymandering process is extremely unfair, voter ID laws and the...

A Canadian Perspective on the Gun Debate, A Response to Colion Noir
There are people advocating for 0 tolerance of guns, no guns whatsoever, who are exceptional human beings – who make sense, even if their goals are more Utopian than I would strive for today. There are also people who advocate the absolute freedom to bear arms, who are exceptional human beings –...
-
The Alex Jones Ban
I don't support Alex Jones, but I support his right to speak. I don't think YouTube made the best decision for themselves and for everyone really – but I support their right to make it – whichever way they see fit. I also support whatever platform that picks Alex Jones up – and support whatever...

The Intellectual Dark Web
What we have in Podcasts and YouTube is a medium through which we can share information in ways that the world has never seen before. It's similar to the radio, the printing press, television, in that the repercussions of the ability to share information on a massive scale have always been...

1984 in 2018
One of the beautiful aspects about living in one of the moderately free societies in 2018, is that we have the ability to do and to create almost anything we want if it is positive or beneficial. The digital revolution is spawning tools and avenues for us to shape our communities in…

Socialism - Why Not Be Honest? (A Response to Jordan Peterson)
Socialism is not a bad word, it's an imperfect solution and a response to a problem with the inequalities that the market system produces. It's extreme, it's flawed, and almost the exact opposite of the market system, but consider, how intelligent could Marx have possibly been regarding global...
-
Mental Wellness Pt.1
Mental Illness, Mental Health, Mental Wellness, however you refer to it – we're in the midst of a storm. I can't help but think one of the major barriers in itself, is that when we first begin to consider if someone we love is experiencing depression – we start to think of them as quote “ill”.…

Desalination: Water For the World
Change can be scary, but I can't help but see as the world has changed, and connection and communication with strangers all over the planet is now possible – that the power to steer values and ethics and societal structure is in the hands of the people en mass. We have the ability, by sharing…

Universal Basic Income & Social Currency
What excites me so much about this idea, is that for those who otherwise just were not in a position to participate actively in the progression of society, this would empower them, give them ability to participate in an integral way, be rewarded, and never have to leave their home if they're...

Solar Energy: How To Empower The Planet
As of 2016, there were 60 solar panel farms in operation worldwide. It would take 10 solar farms to power every home in California, 142,000 to power the entire world. Remember, when the automobile was introduced, not everyone immediately transitioned, they still rode their horses and buggies for...

Vertical Farming: The Future of Agriculture
Today, we have the ability to grow organic fruit, vegetables, herbs and spices, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. No more seasons, no region exclusive foods, no pesticides or fertilizer, no need to transport crops across the globe. We can start having conversations about constructing the future in...

Misplaced Anger
Is there anyone you know that isn't angry with some facet of how society is functioning today? What we need to realize, that it is in the best interest of those who benefit from the status quo, to have us continue to argue and fight each other, never really able to change our minds, let alone...

What Is Creating Utopia?
In this episode, I give a short background about who I am, and why I started this Podcast. Through years of travel, working with a non-profit organization, I have come to realize that everyone is trying to make the world better, as defined by what they believe is true. We're all human beings…

How We Stop Trump
How to Create Utopia: Regardless of how you feel about Donald Trump, something is going on, something is happening. If we look past the differences that have been used to divide us, we all could feel for a moment how I feel. I wish everyone could see how exciting it is to be alive for perhaps the...

Bernie Sanders and #TheResistance
The #Bluewave is coming. #TheResistance is here. And a lot of the progressive ideas that will move North America forward can be linked to Bernie Sanders...before he ran for president. He didn't make these ideas up; universal health care, tuition free post-secondary education, etc. but he was the...

The Digital Revolution, Information Overload, and Joe Rogan
We are living through a period that is totally unique, experiencing things thought to be impossible. When everything settles, it will be considered to be similar to the next Industrial Revolution... The Digital Revolution. Never before in human history have we had the ability to communicate…

Dave Rubin and The Libertarian Contradiction
"Live and let live”, is a principle we all should pay attention to. It seems today, there is a shift occurring, from the government, public interest groups, the media, activist organizations, co-workers and even our friends and family, where we are all feeling pressure to act a certain way, and…

A Response To Sam Harris
The Waking Up Podcast #120 "What Is and What Matters" is the motivation for this special unplanned episode of Creating Utopia. I find myself unable to resist the temptation to encourage Sam Harris to either explore the idea of what others are perceiving as a feeling of freedom or agency, or...

How Does Jordan Peterson Know What's "True"
Jordan Peterson has become a rather prominent and polarizing figure as of late. Whether you agree with his positions, or find yourself opposed, his message and arguments are worth listening to and considering. This Podcast focuses on a fundamental issue I've found with his message, that can...

Sam Harris, Free Will & The Isolation Problem
We are all isolated to a certain degree. No matter what we experience in this life, there is no one person who understands or even can understand perfectly the perspectives of every other person on this planet. We need to recognize our own limitations, we are never the ultimate arbiter or…

The Young Turks and The Arbitrary Level of Offense
We are all afraid of something. We are all offended by different things, at differing degrees, and this is something we need to recognize is completely personal and arbitrary. This episode examines The Young Turks, the worlds largest online news media outlet, to describe how we don't necessarily...

New Rule: Bill Maher Needs New Rules
The first episode of Creating Utopia is about conversation and Bill Maher. He's made quite an impact in his life, and one could argue that the way he communicates is the reason he is in the position he's in. I find myself thinking, "What is he accomplishing?" Is it time to step back and analyze...
