Today, we're joined by Mick Harris, son of host, Randy Harris. Born, raised, and educated in New Mexico, Mick now resides in Portland, Oregon, where he works as an attorney. We get to learn a little bit about his history. We explore considerations that include comparative evaluations of our community and Portland as pertaining to the unhoused, crime, drugs, politics, and policies. We also touch on real experience and perception, media, divided community, social constructs, freedom of speech, resource distribution, and optimism vs pessimism. An insightful conversation including Jack Turney, fellow millennial, that shows some of the parallels and distinctions between generations.
Stuart Kelter interviews Roger Berkowitz, a professor of Political Studies and Human Rights, as well as the founder and academic director of the Hannah Arendt Center for Politics and the Humanities, both at Bard College. He is the author of The Gift of Science: Leibniz and the Modern Legal Tradition, an account of how the rise of science led to the divorce of law and justice and the editor of Revenge and Justice, a special issue of Law, Culture, and the Humanities. In October of 2021, the Arendt Center hosted a conference entitled, “Revitalizing Democracy: Sortition, Citizen Power, and Spaces of Freedom,” about a mode of government that originated in ancient Greece with great potential for our own times. The Center has also provided trainings in the large scale use of digital tools for citizens around the world to enhance their involvement in policy-making.
I was driving through Colorado last summer when I encountered a series of electronic highway signs warning me to, “Slow the fast down.”

Daisy and Peter talk to Kevin Bixby, founder of Wildlife for All, about working to get state officials in charge of parks and wilderness to contemplate preserving the natural world, not merely for the convenience of hunters and fishing-folk.
