“We know more about black holes now, than we know about interest rates.” That’s Ty Keynes, explaining just how incomprehensible our global financial system actually is. And as a devout practitioner of Systems Dynamics, he has more than put in the legwork to try making sense of the mess. Imagine that you were able to create a model of what will happen in our world, based on the cycles that it tends to follow – that’s more or less what systems dynamics allows us to do. But when applied to capitalist economics, the results are chaos.
 
They do show one thing clear as day, however: a capitalist system is guaranteed to destroy our biophysical environment at breakneck speed. And it will drag us through cycles of personal and collective misery along the way. By the end of this episode, you’ll see through Ty’s models how closely we can predict the future of our world if we stay the course we’re on currently. And you’ll understand why the most effective remedy for our situation is people making decisions together, and supporting each other on the road back to any kind of sustainable sanity.

"There are problems of extreme urgency that will be solved in the near future, or we're finished."
If you're an activist, linguist, or political analyst, then Noam Chomsky needs no introduction. But for anyone unfamiliar, Chomsky has shaped numerous generations of critical minds, and blazed the trail for organizations like ours attempting to change society at a systemic level.
We're thrilled to have him on our show, and to ask what he sees for our future (if we have one) as a new generation of activists take to the front lines. The short is answer is that he believes in us and our chances if we can take this challenge seriously enough, keep our minds open, and do everything in our power to tackle these crises together.
Otherwise, all of the wisdom that he's shared with us will die with us, and the next generation may well be the last.

Utopia isn't some final destination where problems no longer exist -- it's a constantly evolving process of self-evaluation and social cooperation. Jacque Fresco understood that when he and Roxanne Meadows started The Venus Project, introducing so many of us to the idea of a resource-based economy, and the ability to engineer our way out of our crises.
Roxanne joins us on today's episode, along with her colleagues Nate and Theo, to discuss how The Venus Project is evolving today. Much more than a futuristic compound located in Venus, Florida, The Venus Project is like a whole new science being introduced to the world. And the goal of this new science is to harness human ingenuity and collaboration, teaching people to work WITH the nature around them in order to survive and thrive in the face of impending industrial apocalypse.

As buildings collapse on top of them, these two young men from Gaza are desperate to tell their story to the world, so that we will recognize and end the brutality their families are experiencing. It is the VERY SAME brutality that sweeps across African cobalt mines, American cop cities, and throughout history wherever there was land to steal and profit to squeeze from the people living there.
Ramy is only 19, and was denied at the border when his family escaped, fleeing to find emergency surgery for his young sister. Sobhe is only 23, and his family was given 10 minutes to evacuate their home before it was bombed in front of them. Both have lost their dearest family members to shelling and stavation, and just want to be freed from this ongoing, hellish, and wholly undeserved punishment.
Take a moment of your day to listen to the story from the mouths of the people living it -- rather than some sanitized and repackaged soundbite from the mainstream media. And donate any amount that you can to their fundraising campaigns linked below. We've already seen families get to safety, or at least get the food they need to survive, with simple campaigns like these. Even sharing their stories on social media improves their chances of being seen and supported, and of the world knowing what is really going on.

WHERE IS THE HUMANITY as we live-stream a genocidal war in Gaza against a captive, innocent people being wiped out by nuclear superpower of Israel, funded by the USA? The hope and humanity is in the people of Gaza themselves and in the response of people who care around the world doing their part to help. Moneyless Society is highlighting the real, heartbreaking, unimaginably horrific stories of regular people living through this nightmare with their families. We brought on Mohamad and Halaa, a doctor and law student to tell us their heart-rending stories of bombing, mass death of family members, and to use our platform to uplift their stories in the hope YOU will help. They're raising the money to buy their freedom, to buy the lives of their family from this monstrous system. They need $7000 a person to get their families out of a war zone, who are mostly sick and elderly or young children. This is a show about finding hope in the wreckage, it is a horrific but inspiring story of human goodness in the face of annihilation, and the amount of hope at the end-- entirely depends on how much YOU the listeners take up this cause and help. Campaigns here, donate and share, not just in social media but directly with people who will help!
