Matt Kibbe talks to Martha Bueno, Candidate for Miami Dade County Commissioner and the daughter of Cuban immigrants, about the developing situation in Cuba, where locals are rising up in protest against government oppression. Bueno recounts the ways in which her whole life has been haunted by the specter of Latin American socialism, and explains what the situation is really like for people living in Cuba today. While American politicians like Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez continue to apologize for socialist policies, people who have actually lived it know that the answer is freedom, not socialism.

Ancient faiths and indigenous peoples across the world have long believed in the ceremonial use of psychedelic plants & fungi as a means of spiritual awakening and confrontation of trauma. However, the so-called War on Drugs has prevented these groups from being able to practice these rites and rituals without either mountains of red tape or fear of criminal prosecution. Decriminalize Nature wants to change that. Through education, advocacy and lobbying, they are trying to change the perspective on these entheogenic compounds and give these cultures, as well as those seeking to explore their inner space, the freedom to practice their spiritual understanding.

About the Guests:

Carlos Plazola studied biology and anthropology at UCLA to make sense of life on this planet. He lived with the Achuar of Ecuador to connect with deeper meaning and the sacred. He studied Environmental Science at Yale to understand the human impact on Earth’s ecosystems. But he also needed to learn the tools to create change. Carlos’ first career was as a community organizer with ACORN. He organized communities around social and environmental justice for seven years to learn community organizing. He also wanted to learn the tools of government, so he worked for a congressperson, and then became a chief of staff to a councilmember and ran political campaigns. Finally, Carlos wanted to learn the tools and logic of business, so he became a businessperson, grew several companies to over 50 employees, and became a developer to learn how to create the built environment. Today, he has the tools he needs. From here forward, he dedicates the rest of his life to creating spaces and movements that honor the beauty of life.

Larry Norris, PhD is the co-founder and on the Board of Decriminalize Nature and helped to co-author the resolution that received a unanimous decision from Oakland City Council in June 2019. He has supported the successful passage of DN related policy in seven cities across the US and is currently supporting individual DN teams in roughly 45 cities to pass similar policy, as well as statewide legislation in 3 states. He is also the co-founder and executive director of ERIE (Entheogenic Research, Integration, and Education) 501(c)(3), a group dedicated to the development of entheogenic education and integration models. Larry holds a Ph.D. from the East-West Psychology department at the California Institute of Integral Studies (CIIS) in San Francisco; his dissertation reviews archived ayahuasca experiences to identify transformational archetypes and insights and consider their implications for integration. As adjunct faculty at CIIS, Larry taught a graduate course called Entheogenic Education: Contemporary Perspectives on Ancient Plant Wisdom in order to discuss the concept of entheogens as educational teachers and cognitive tools. He was also an adjunct faculty at John F. Kennedy University teaching a class titled Paradigms of Consciousness. A dedicated activist and proponent of cognitive liberty, Larry’s efforts are a contribution to not only change the Western legal status of these powerful plants, fungus, and compounds, but also to emphasize the sacred nature of entheogens given the right set and setting.

Free the People's Logan Albright and Mike Feuz discuss whether there's a calling to preach the ideas of liberty to the masses, or whether we should just mind our own business and leave everybody alone.

When our Nomad Network members heard this episode live, they said it was one of the best shows we’ve ever had.

Perhaps that’s because we just finished reading two of the most interesting books we’ve ever read.

The first one is “The Fourth Turning: An American Prophecy - What the Cycles of History Tell Us About America’s Next Rendezvous with Destiny”, written by Neil Howe and William Strauss. They describe an 80-year generational cycle that has persisted throughout Western civilization since at least the 1400s. Written in 1997, the book predicts the 2008 housing crisis, and they predicted the COVID crisis, to within a few years of when both events actually happened.

If we follow the pattern their theory describes, we should expect some type of major global total-war-style event over the next 3-6 years. Perhaps we’re already in it.

But that’s only the bad news. The good news is, the cycle predicts that that major event will be followed by a restart of the cycle into an era of peace, prosperity, and growth, a la the post-war era in America (1946-1963).

The second book is called “Wanting: The Power of Mimetic Desire in Everyday Life”, by Luke Burgis. The book draws on the seminal work of French polymath Rene Girard, who introduced the concept of mimetic theory to the world. According to Girard, we are driven by our desires, yet we don’t arrive at these desires independently. We learn both how and what to desire by mimicking of other people. Like gravity, mimesis is a powerful force that always affects us, even (especially!) when we aren’t aware of it.

When you combine these two concepts — the fourth turning and mimetic desire — you create an incredibly powerful tool for both predicting the nature of the next crisis and identifying the best path through it.

You don’t have to to go through the next crisis. You can just opt out. The choice is yours.

Time and time again, libertarians ask themselves "why aren't others immediately buying into my great ideas?" Remso is joined by sales expert Brian Nichols ("The Brian Nichols Show") who has just released a new ebook targeting why people don't listen to us, who our target audience is, and how to earn the respect and votes of those coming around to our way of thinking.

I sat down with my friend Aaron Voisine, of BRD (formerly Breadwallet), to discuss how the average worker/saver would invest and save in a Bitcoin world. Would they hold some stocks? Real estate? Bonds? Or would they keep close to 100% of their savings in cash, as many bitcoiners seem to assume? And related issues. I doubt people would keep most of their savings in cash since they would chase higher returns and also diversify away from some risks unique to monetary assets. Voisine dissents. I have questions, not answers, while Voisine thinks he has answers.
