Today, Memorial Day, 2023, we listen for an hour to our guest Harvey Daiho Hilbert. He revisits and recounts his personal experience from 1966 forward, as a wounded, decorated Viet Nam combat veteran.
His story takes us from his enlistment, through his combat experience, including being shot in the head at 19 years old and his discharge from the Army. He speaks of his journey of recovery, earning a PhD in Social Work, his 30 years working with trauma survivors of all kinds, his path to Buddhism, and how it all shaped his future and present. An intimate, informed, insightful, thought-provoking and heart wrenching conversation. Much gratitude to Harvey Daiho Hilbert for sharing his experience. Stuart Kelter interviews Las Crucen, Ron Lautenbach, about his experiences of, and life lessons in, climbing Everest and Denali. With humor and insight, he conveys his penchant for adventure and intensity, his reverence for nature and faith in a higher power, his love and respect for people, and his hard-won wisdom to take measured risks that included possible death as part of the equation.

This multi-dimensional conversation with Zen Priest Harvey Daiho Hilbert focuses on some of the challenges and choices that we face today as individuals and as a culture, a society.
Daiho shines a light on the influences of Buddhism, art, language, writing, painting, personal choices, history, journaling, mental health, meditation and more. The conversation touches on questions like; What do we think is "real"? Why? How do we know? Have we ever been, and are we ever going to be, a harmonious species? If not, does conflict urge us toward finding individually and collectively creative solutions? Is that in itself something to be grateful for? A wide-ranging exploration of some of the difficulties and opportunities we face within ourselves, and our world today. Stuart Kelter interviews Kevin Elliott, a philosophy professor at Michigan State University, who studies the role of values in science and the ethical issues related to science and technology, such as conflicts of interest involving environmental pollution and financial stakes in research. He also collaborates with environmental scientists at the European Food Safety Authority and the U.S. National Academy of Sciences. He is the author of the book, Is a Little Pollution Good for You? Incorporating Societal Values in Environmental Research, published in 2011. He is also the author of the 2017 book, A Tapestry of Values: An Introduction to Values in Science, and the 2022 book, Values in Science for the Cambridge University Press Series, Elements in the Philosophy of Science.
The United States government has a nuclear waste storage problem, and it sees its solution in southeast New Mexico.
Earlier this month, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission approved the application by a Florida-based company named Holtec to build a new waste storage facility in Lea County. The license authorizes Holtec to store 500 canisters holding 100,000 metric tons of spent nuclear fuel, though Holtec plans to eventually store up to 10,000 canisters, shipped in from nuclear power plants around the country. |
