    Im still not sure what to make of this conversation. Hope you enjoy.

    #50 Zachary Marlow - Moneyless Society

    #50 Zachary Marlow - Moneyless Society

    Zachary Marlow is a maverick film maker, regen, and co-founder of Moneyless Society. He is vagabonding around the world to tell a story of a more beautiful world beyond the pale of our extractive economic system.

    Key Takeaways from this Podcast


    Money and capitalism can be seen as a religious ideology worshiping the god of Moloch and leading to the coordination failure of humanity.
    The narrative of progress should be critically examined and reevaluated. The transition from a pre-tragic to a post-tragic mindset involves awakening to the tragic realities of the world and embracing the pain and challenges that come with it.
    Money is a symptom of an underlying paradigm that values self-interest and separation, and a new story is needed to shift towards a more regenerative and interconnected worldview.
    Love is a powerful force that can save us from the abyss and inspire us to take action to protect and restore the planet.
    Savoring life and fully embracing the present moment is essential in the face of the world's challenges, and throwing ourselves into the crisis can lead to transformative experiences and actions.
