Richard Perkins - Regenerative Revolution: How Permaculture Can Save Failing Food Systems

We invited Nora Bateson back on the show for another sensemaking conversation. Nora Bateson is an award-winning filmmaker, writer, educator, and the President of the International Bateson Institute. We wanted to hear her views on the current disintegration of societal systems, and how to navigate the chaos of the world. We talk about how to raise and educate children for the uncertain future, and how to find the potential for healing and transformation in these difficult times. She also shares some thought provoking quotes from her father Gregory Bateson’s writings.

Nora Bateson - How To Heal a Disintegrating Society

We invited Joe Brewer on the show again as part of our regenerative series. We had him last year, and we talked about cultural evolution and designing regenerative cultures. Since then Joe moved to a rural community in Colombia, started the Earth Regenerators Study Group, and wrote a new book.  In this episode we talk about this new book called The Design Pathway for Regenerating Earth. We also talk about what it’s like to live in economic collapse, how to re-establish relationships with nature and community, and how something as important as Earth Regeneration can be done with a sense of child-like playfulness.

With this episode we are starting a podcast series about regenerative smart village design, where we are featuring notable people in the areas of regenerative cultures, self-sustaining communities, smart villages, etc. Our first guest in this series is James Ehrlich, the founder of Regen Villages. Regen Villages is a Stanford University spin-off company, creating the so-called “Tesla of Ecovillages" - the technology integrated VillageOS™ software, for the future of living in resilient neighbourhoods. In this episode we talk about designing regenerative villages, why that is what the communities of the future are going to look like, and what are the barriers and risks to getting there. What Is Covered:  The need in the world that Regen Villages are responding to What is the main problem with contemporary city environments How to redesign communities on a more local level The most unexpected benefits for people living in regenerative villages What are the main barriers for smart villages to become a reality Why authorities fear decentralization The optimistic elements of post-Covid19 'green' transition The pros and cons of retrofitting the cities What can potentially bring smart villages down How can communities of different sizes cooperate effectively Links and Resources Mentioned in This Episode: RegenVillages We Are Blacksheep Suzanne Simmard: How Trees Talk To Each Other, TED Talk Future Thinkers Retreat Center Project Future Thinkers Upcoming Workshops Show notes: http://www.futurethinkers.org/124 

James Ehrlich: Designing Regenerative Villages

Our guest in this episode is Donald Hoffman, a cognitive psychologist who studies consciousness, visual perception and evolutionary psychology using mathematical models and psychophysical experiments. Donald is the author of several books, the latest one being The Case Against Reality. In this interview we talk about Donald’s scientific theory of consciousness, which he refers to as 'conscious realism.'
