#20 Pete Myers: The Coverup Of The Century

It is one of the most important health topics of our time, yet hardly anyone is aware that it is happening. A subset of chemicals that have penetrated everybody on earth is called PFAS, more commonly known as forever chemicals. How did they get there, and why are they so persistent? That is the focal point of today's crucially important interview with Pete Myers, the founder of Environment Health News. He has spent his life trying to uncover answers to these questions and, more importantly, how our environment is affecting our bodies. Coming away from this interview, it feels like the stuff made up on the internet is controlled by the dark state or major conspiracy theories, but it is not. This is a global health issue that is affecting every one of us. From sperm rates declining at a catastrophic speed, causing a major decline in fertility, to an acceleration in fatal chronic diseases such as cancer, cardiovascular, and neurodegenerative diseases like dementia and Alzheimer's. We wanted a modern, hygienic, and comfortable system. We got one, but it has brought a flood of chemicals into our marketplace—in fact, 350,000 of them. Only a handful of those chemicals have gone through substantial toxicity testing, which should alarm any government. Listen to this interview to get an inside view of how this health crisis emerged and what each of us can do to minimize our exposure to these harmful elements.

#18 Tomás Saraceno: The Profound Wisdom of Spiders

To witness a Tomás Saraceno exhibition is to truly understand the value that art can have in awakening your senses. Words used to describe his work include ethereal, profound, and brave. One well-known gallery owner even went as far as saying he was "the artist most likely to change the world." But setting hyperboles aside, Tomás is simply someone who wants to relay a very important message to us. Employing techniques such as installation, sculpture, and photography, he carries an urgent message from the world of the arachnids – which is if we don't learn about our humble place in the universe, we face a highly untenable situation as a species. Saraceno transcends mere spectacle, using his work as a powerful instrument to inspire, educate, and influence. His relentless pursuit has led him into a partnership with the mysterious, at times otherworldly, and ancient species—the spider—revealing profound insights about our delicate place within the cosmos. It would be an understatement to emphasise just how much he shares a love for these odd, otherworldly creatures. If you haven't yet experienced one of Saraceno's expansive exhibitions, you are truly missing out. During our chat, Tomás delves into his new science developed around spiders, his experiences with Ayahuasca, his childhood reflections, and thoughts on ChatGPT and technology, and passionately discusses why our perception of the green economy is fundamentally flawed.
