Episode Synopsis

This week's episode is definitely a rambler as I had no topic in mind before I began but still managed to cover some serious ground. So, the topics covered include, but are not limited to: Loving the sound of running water, how it makes me feel both grounded and in flow; dealing with my Inner Critic about my lack of organization and sense of lack of accomplishment; appreciating my developing sense of confidence in sharing what I’ve learned; creating media out of Service to others, not to be narcissistic; the benefits of a Tech Sabbath; disconnecting from the need to be connected and how this can be explained in astrological terms relating to the transition from the Age of Pisces to the Age of Aquarius; how the Aquarius Age means we need to learn to be comfortable with the paradox of strong communities are based on strong individuals; how the Shadow side of Aquarius is “resistance is futile” borg mental; parasites are natural but it’s not natural for them to run society; the parasitic nature of social-media game apps; why I’d like to go into counseling but why I have doubts; how our social model rewards parasites, and the pain they cause our relationships; taking responsibility for why Facebook sucks; the attention economic impulses fuel these problems; why I hate being a referee in the Culture War; trying to live comfortably in the Paradox of it All; my wacky conspiracy about the AI-motivated either/or worldview; getting cold feet on frosty ground; being more in heart-space than head-space on social media; and my recreation of my favorite scene from “The Simpsons.” Last, an impromptu poem which I suppose I'll title "Don't Be Afraid."
