    Revolution Now! with Peter Joseph | Ep #52 | Oct 16th 2024

    In this episode, Peter Joseph critiques the pervasive belief in competition as a beneficial force for personal development, creativity, and societal progress. Drawing on research by Alfie Kohn and Daniel Pink, he argues that competition actually hinders creative problem-solving and distorts human motivation. Joseph explores how monetary rewards and the market economy create narrow, self-serving goals that undermine genuine innovation. He also discusses the harmful effects of market-driven incentives, such as planned obsolescence, and the interconnectedness of industries that profit from maintaining problems rather than solving them.

    Revolution Now! with Peter Joseph | Ep #51 | Sept 12th 2024

    In episode 51 of Revolution Now, Peter Joseph discusses sociological causality and its profound influence on human behavior. He emphasizes that systemic change, especially in the economy, is necessary to alter behavior, and activism must focus on changing the system itself, not just individual minds. He also explains the difference between internal and external system regulation, and hence the importance of cybernetic self-regulation, while offering a critique regarding the inefficiency of government regulation in managing market forces, noting that market dynamics, driven by money, overpower democratic efforts to correct issues like environmental degradation and inequality. This is not a side effect. The money-power feedback loop is far more powerful than the market-instability-regulatory loop and even democracy itself, making workable regulation toward homeostasis or balance impossible.
