Keith Whelpley returns to Think Again for further exploration of the increasing use of technology for data, information, knowledge, and wisdom(?) and how our fundamental human connections are affected. We recognize that mentoring goes on at all stages of our lives - at all ages - elders, youngers, and peers. The fundamental connection - person to person, face to face, eye to eye, is so important for all of us, in so many ways.
Today, we welcome Bob Hearn to the studio for a conversation about healthcare in our country, our state and our community. In addition to exploring the challenges, Bob's prepared a document offering an evaluation of how we might address these issues, and what it takes to get that done.
 Today's conversation explores the roles of elders in a family, a community, a culture, and a country. We examine how at every age in our lives, we're teaching, always demonstrating our values, ethics, thinking practices, and wisdom, or lack thereof. Being an elder, or a role model of any age doesn't happen only through intentional sharing of ideas or counsel on how we should live. It happens every day, in every way.
Today, our guest Shahid Mustafa (co-host of Black English Vernacular) shares perspectives on some of the historical illusions our country was built upon and how they still affect us today. We touch on other contemporary illusions, how illusions can turn into dangerous delusions, and why critical thinking is our best defense against both illusions and delusions.
John shares his experience and insights from living and working on the Navajo reservation beginning in 1966. He brings particular focus to the history of the Canyon de Chelly annual 55k ultramarathon, and to Shaun Martin, Dine' / Navajo man who started the annual event. He touches on the body, mind, and spirit elements of running and the broader philosophy of the Dine' / Navajo people.
 Randy Harris and Jack Turney explore "Silence" in a paradoxically hour-long conversation. We touch on contemporary and ancient notions of internal and external
noise, signal, and silence. Our guest today, Shahid Mustafa, co-host of Black English Vernacular on KTAL from 9:30 to 10:30 on Monday nights, local farmer, journalist and more, speaks to us about "Produced Water" - chemically treated water used in fracking oil and gas wells.
Today - and in his upcoming article in Edible New Mexico Magazine - Shahid points to studies citing uses and dangers of the PFAS and other toxic chemicals used in produced water. There is risk to aquifers and wells we use domestically and for growing our food. He also shares about the legislative process in NM addressing use, regulation, reporting requirements, and what's contained in spills/leaks of produced water. In today's conversation with folks from the Parkinson's Disease Support Group of Southern New Mexico, we explore some of the many aspects of living with Parkinson's Disease. Sarah Stegall and Ken Posey (outgoing and incoming Board Presidents respectively) and John Mylius (local volunteer and organizer) share their personal stories and the stories of others in our community who are benefitting from participating in the group.
Thoughtful - Insightful - Informative - Inspiring Today, longtime friends and radio co-hosts Randy Harris and Keith Whelpley explore some observations about the past, the present, and the future of our rapidly changing situation in the US. The conversation considers some of the many different ways people are thinking, feeling, and responding.
