Keith Whelpley brings thoughtful considerations of some of the measures being taken to offset climate change broadly, and atmospheric, CO2 driven, global warming specifically. The conversation explores Carbon Capture and Sequestration (CCS), and the roles of the individual, the climate advocacy community, the government, the fossil fuel corporations, and our economic system. He points to the promise of the technology, the potential risks that we know of, and what it's going to take to bring all the parties together for a solution. The conversation touches on how our past ways of thinking about these issues has led to our current circumstances, and how we need to change our thinking if we want to solve these problems.

Sgt. Bob McCord and Sgt. Patrick Doyle - LCPD Crisis Intervention Team Leaders Paul Ford - Las Cruces Fire Department Mobile Integrated Healthcare Coordinator Facing a mental health crisis of apparently epidemic proportions, our first responder guests share some of their own experiences and perspectives. The conversation explores the devastating impacts of increasing mental illness in our society and how in collaboration with mental health professionals, we're addressing it locally. The conversation touches on access to resources for those suffering from mental illness, trauma, policies, programs, staffing, drug addiction, crime, violence, suicide, dementia, Alzheimer's and more. This conversation is a peek into the challenges our Fire and Police personnel face each and every day. As all of us, including our first responders, increasingly suffer the impacts of this epidemic rippling through our schools, our families, and our public health and safety systems, this is a crisis we ignore at our own peril. This program features Shahid Mustafa - Owner/Operator of Taylorhood Farms, a Community Supported Agriculture project in Southern New Mexico. Additionally, Shahid writes for Edible New Mexico magazine, produces music, conducts workshops, and more. The conversation touches on regenerative agriculture, water, climate change, food production, co-operatives, the history of Black farmers in America, and patriarchy. It's a fun and broad reaching exploration of how our culture has historically thought about these topics, and how we may need to reconsider our thinking in the present and future.
With his original writings and ideas, Bob Hearn welcomes us to a fun conversation about how the mesquite (dating back to the Pliocene Epoch 5.4 - 2.4 million years ago) might relate to "What Is".
Evolving from this unique perspective, the exploration expands to include how in comparison, we humans might perceive and relate to "What Is". It's a fun and thoughtful conversation that kinda makes you wonder. We're joined today by Keith Whelpley for an easy going, easy flowing exploration of what growing old is like. The conversation explores many aspects of both our internal and external lives, and how, and why, so many things change, shift, and morph as we transition to being older. Fun, candid, insightful.
Dr. James Rice, Professor of Sociology at New Mexico State University, shares some thoughts about what many people call collective madness, mass psychosis, or mass hysteria. We peek into some of the dynamics that lead to collective, frenzied, irrational states of mind. We touch on propaganda, media manipulation, fear, hate, delusion, and the demonizing of others. We look at some of the risks and perceived rewards of tribalism and ideological groupthink. Enjoy a thought-provoking exploration of problematic elements of the human psyche that have defined much of our history and continue to shape our world today.
Gabriel Rochelle brings us a thoughtful exploration of how we think, feel, and speak about humility.
What does the word mean? In contrast, what is pride? What's the relationship between humility and pride? Could greater humility enhance the quality of the individual and collective human experience? How might we expand our practice of humility? Today's guest, David Ostby, is the co-founder and Chief Technical Officer for an artificial intelligence company called "Savant X". David first joined us on "Think Again" for a conversation about AI in early February of 2020. He returns and touches on a broad array of considerations, including the evolution of AI and its expanding presence in 2023.
Things have changed. 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. 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. |
