Scales of Change Future Ecologies The climate crisis is the defining challenge of our lifetimes. Its scale defies comprehension, and conceals its true nature – not as one gigantic issue, but as many. Even those of us who accept the science and urgency of the climate crisis can struggle to act on our own knowledge and values. No matter who we are, our minds are subject to the Dragons of Climate Inaction: 36 different species of rationalizations – stories we tell ourselves consciously and subconsciously, shaping all of our decisions.In this series we explore the psychology of climate inaction, and prove that another story is possible. In each chapter of this 8-part series, we’ll uncover a different genus of dragon. Along the way, we’ll explore the art of turning carbon into rock, face mortality in the heart of the Amazon, and rekindle our connection with the Earth. With the help of each of our guests, we’ll challenge the different types of climate inaction, and discuss how we can scale up to meet this moment, together.Sc Talking Strategy, Making History Richard Flacks Each episode will focus on a different aspect or example of the general theme. Our kick-off frame is the awkward position that progressives find themselves in. It seems obvious, at least to a significant portion of Leftists, that “working within the Democratic Party” has to be part of any realistic strategy for making substantive, social democratic or radical change in the United States. What is far less clear is what this means practically, in terms of organization and elections. For many years, the slogan of the Left has been to work both “inside and outside” the Democratic Party. But what does that “inside” part actually look like?The podcast project comes from our experience as progressive activists--and from the urgency of now. Dick Flacks taught sociology at UC Santa Barbara and Umiversity of Chicago for 60 years. He's of the founding generation of Students for a Democratic Society and helped write the Port Huron Statement (along with Tom Hayden and the big Lebowski). He and hi Disrupting Disaster James Lush & Charlie Caruso Disrupting Disaster is a podcast series created and co-hosted by James Lush and Charlie Caruso, both award-winning Australian/British broadcasters, digital media entrepreneurs, and fellow human beings. This podcast series is designed to bring attention to the urgency of climate change as well as highlight the amazing opportunities currently available that our audience can ACT on today. We all have the power to save the world, and now is the time we get off the couch and do something.... anything!Visit www.disruptingdisaster.com Misfit Wisdom with Danielle O’Neill Danielle A free-spirited misfit, abstract artist, critical thinker and occasional writer who, like Fran Liebowitz, seems to have perpetual writer’s block, I talk about creativity and sometimes mental health, particularly my experience living with anxiety, the sense of urgency that pervades our crazy culture, the pressure to “fit in,” and recovery from self-sabotaging behaviors. As someone who has kept silent about my opinions for a long time, I speak my mind without apologies here. I'll also explore how we use creativity to express ourselves, learn about who we are and ultimately, to spread joy.  Trigger warnings: potential discussion of various mental health issues at times. I’m not a professional - just someone living, learning, and speaking with as much honesty as possible. My opinions are my own and are subject to change at any time as I grow and learn as a person. ☺️
