    Ep. 93 - Drugs & Respect: How Playground Principles Solve Adult Problems - Jim Babka

    Could respect, not punishment, be the key to reducing harm from drugs and addiction? Jim Babka, host of the Gracearchy podcast and Social Strategist for the Foundation for Harmony and Prosperty, joins Christina Dent to explain the Natural Principle of Human Respect. It's a simple but powerful idea that coercion always diminishes happiness, harmony, and prosperity. Using lessons from the playground, flying cars, and even gravity, Jim shows how respecting others unlocks trust, community, and progress. From psychedelics to policy, he explains how force backfires and opportunities are lost when we ignore this principle. This episode challenges us to rethink adult solutions by remembering the simple rules we practiced as kids, and to consider whether so many of our problems are caused by the fact that our laws are not consistent with what we learned on the playground.    Resources: Gracearchy Podcast with Jim Babka Connect with the Foundation for Harmony and Prosperity "Curious" by Christina Dent - 75% of proceeds further the work of End It For Good End It For Good - Join our newsletter for stories, events, and solutions to drugs and addiction.
