Team Human with Douglas Rushkoff

President of the National Jewish Center for Leading and Leadership, author of Yearnings: Embracing the Sacred Messiness of Life, and seventh-generation rabbi Irwin Kula brings us through a spiritual journey in the desert — and may just show us the strength to stay there in the in-between.🎙 In his monologue, Rushkoff explains his hope that blockchains and cryptocurrencies can become something other than another asset class for a generation of traders. “Our marketplaces should never be in service to its financial utilities or the people monopolizing them. Nor should the metrics of economic health be based on the requirement of capital to grow.”📰 You can read Can’t We Use Crypto for Something Other Than Capitalism, a written version of Rushkoff’s monologue on Medium.🌎 Begin supporting Team Human on Patreon today for as little as $2 per month to gain access to our Discord community, live community salons, the Team Human Team Feed featuring bonus content including archived conversations with Timothy Leary and Terence McKenna, t-shirts, and various other digital rewards.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Author of The Patterning Instinct and The Web of Meaning, Jeremy Lent helps us see through to the meaning that informs our science so that it can be used to embrace the paradox of our existence, rather than reducing it down to a form suitable only for exploitation.In his monologue, Rushkoff explores how well-natured attempts to improve language will almost always fall short because of the underlying structure of the language we use. “We must also accept that language is just another medium that will almost always fail to say what we truly mean.”📚 You can read Rushkoff’s “What if All Language is Oppressive?” on Medium.📖 The Web of Meaning is available now. It’s an important refutation of the orthodox materialism that is plaguing science and culture. It’s a helpful reminder that those of us experiencing the world as a meaningful place are not the crazy ones.🌍Jeremy Lent will be joining Team Human’s official Discord channel on Friday, August 6, at 1:00 PM ET for a special Team Human Salon.Begin supporting Team Human on Patreon today for as little as $2 per month to gain access to our Discord community, the Team Human Team Feed featuring bonus content, archived conversations with Timothy Leary and Terence McKenna, t-shirts, and various other digital rewards.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
