As we witness the fall of our Industrial Aged systems, systems that have destroyed both the health and well-being of people and the communities they live, work and play in as well as the planet, how can we bring forth real systems of service for all?
We cannot continue this onslaught on all life. Mankind requires a different operating system. One that honors, supports and cherishes all life.
But the ways of the past clearly not efficient to bring us to where we need to be.
It is time to democratize knowledge for the ultimate health and well-being of all life.
Sharing the wisdom to people everywhere on such an ambitious scale requires an enormous transformation of our information, communications, media and education systems: and we can create a people-empowered communications network that serves the health and well-being of all life: a system owned by the people, not the corporations.
We already possess everything we need to enable a community-driven, people empowered communications network to succeed and flourish.
We have an important choice to make. We can either continue with the media of the past and present, owned by mega transnational corporations dedicated to quarterly profits while sacrificing the health and the planet, or wecome together, united in Solidarity for the ultimate health and well-being of all life (including the life of our big, beautiful blue and green planet.
We already possess the wisdom, the talent, the desire and dedication to bring forth ultimate health and well-being.
People, let’s get ready and join Mobilized in the conversations on the future of sustainable media and education for all.

Toward Humanity’s new and improved Operating System:We are on the cusp of the fastest, deepest, most consequential transformation of human civilization in history, a transformation every bit as significant as the move from foraging to cities and agriculture 10,000 years ago. During the 2020s, key technologies will converge to completely disrupt the five foundational sectors that underpin the global economy, and with them every major industry in the world today. We discuss how the knock-on effects for society will be as profound as the extraordinary possibilities that emerge with James Arbib of Rethink X, an independent think tank that analyzes and forecasts the speed and scale of technology-driven disruption and its implications across society.
Overcoming overwhelming media misinformation and disinformation: Mickey Huff is the Director of Project Censored, a non profit that educates students and the public about the importance of a truly free press for democratic self-government. It exposes and opposes news censorship and promotes independent investigative journalism, media literacy, and critical thinking.
How are biases formed and how do we overcome them?: Dr. Dale Taylor is a professor emeritus at the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire. He discusses the neurological component of racial bias and how implicit bias can be implanted by social forces we may not be aware even exist. We discuss how biases are formed in early childhood and what we can do to overcome them.
Overcoming deep-rooted misunderstandings of Native Americans: Many communities of native Americans have been subject to irreparable harm, and now there are some who are trying to indoctrinate them into their form of religion. We take a deep dive into conversation with Lakota Sioux Tribeswoman, Davidica Little Spotted Horse as she brings us up to speed of issues that should concern us all.
Imagination takes you Everywhere: Howard Bloom has helped to craft PR campaigns that launched artists like Billy Joel and Prince into the stratosphere. But he has returned to his roots in science and physics, and we discover the magic of curiosity and of space based solar power.
Dr. Arun Gandhi and the global peace movement: Jeff Van Treese and co-host Missy Crutchfield from the podcast Gaia Talks : The Earth Speaks, speak with peace activist and author Dr. Arun Gandhi, grandson of Mahatma Gandhi. They discuss the Russia-Ukraine conflict and the global peace movement.
“To enter the Age of Freedom we must do three things right:
Rethink, Enable and Bridge.” Episode 8 of the Rethinking Humanity series by @RethinkX offers a powerful guide to make a different choice to what has gone before: to embrace the unknown and set out on humanity’s greatest and most perilous journey. Knowing that our old system will not survive the next decade, we must create a new one, fast. To step up into the Age of Freedom there are three things we must do: 1) Rethink: break free of our rigid beliefs and explore. 2) Enable: accelerate new production and organizing systems, decentralizing, prototyping and iterating as we go. 3) Bridge: build a walkway to our future by putting humanity first. This is the eight and final installment of an eight-part series. The Rethinking Humanity video series is based on the book, Rethinking Humanity: Five Foundational Sector Disruptions, the Lifecycle of Civilizations, and the Coming Age of Freedom by James Arbib and Tony Seba, published by RethinkX. Visit https://www.rethinkx.com/humanity to read the book.
From the forward-thinking think tank, RethinkX, this is an amazing time for the social entrepreneur.
Humanity is on the brink of existential transformation, but we’re blind to the deeper processes of change. To recognize the mind-blowing possibility space of the next decade, as well as its catastrophic risks, we must grasp the patterns of history to understand how they can illuminate today.
Rethinking Humanity takes viewers on a whirlwind tour of the rise and fall of civilizations through a powerful lens that makes sense of the past, so that we can step into the present and create our future. During the 2020s, key technologies will converge to completely disrupt the five foundational sectors that underpin civilization, and with them every major industry in the world today. In information, energy, food, transportation, and materials, costs will fall by 10x or more, while production processes an order of magnitude more efficient will use 90% fewer natural resources with 10x-100x less waste.
The knock-on effects for society will be as profound as the extraordinary possibilities that emerge. For the first time in history, we could overcome poverty easily. Access to all our basic needs could become a fundamental human right. But this is just one future outcome. The alternative could see our civilization collapse into a new dark age. Which path we take depends on the choices we make, starting today. The stakes could not be higher. Rethinking Humanity is based on the book authored by James Arbib and Tony Seba (co-founders of RethinkX), available for free download from http://www.rethinkx.com
We are on the cusp of the deepest, fastest, most consequential disruption in food and agricultural production since the first domestication of plants and animals ten thousand years ago. This is primarily a protein disruption driven by economics. The cost of proteins will be five times cheaper by 2030 and 10 times cheaper by 2035 than existing animal proteins, before ultimately approaching the cost of sugar. They will also be superior in every key attribute – more nutritious, healthier, better tasting, and more convenient, with almost unimaginable variety. This means that, by 2030, modern food products will be higher quality and cost less than half as much to produce as the animal-derived products they replace.
The impact of this disruption on industrial animal farming will be profound. By 2030, the number of cows in the U.S. will have fallen by 50% and the cattle farming industry will be all but bankrupt. All other livestock industries will suffer a similar fate, while the knock-on effects for crop farmers and businesses throughout the value chain will be severe. (You can read the report here.)
Sharing the wisdom to people everywhere on such an ambitious scale requires an enormous transformation on how we plant our seeds, grow and distribute our food and beverages and respect the soils, lands and waters where we grow our foods–as well as the people who are growing the food.
Additionally, there are new movements that have the power and potential to literally transform our food systems for the ultimate good of all. Plant-based proteins, Milk without the Moo, fermentation and locally-sourced foods.
How can we the people come together and bring forth such a change?
We already possess the wisdom, the talent, the desire and dedication to bring forth ultimate health and well-being.
People, let’s get ready and join Mobilized in the conversations on the future of sustainable food systems for all.

From the FSTV Broadcasts
From idea into action: Tony Rinaudo is a Right Livelihood Laureate and a agronomist known as the “Forest Maker” for his promotion of soil regeneration. On today’s show, Tony discusses how environmental destruction can be reversed through soil regeneration as well as the importance of public awareness of environmental issues and how he has effectively grown support for restoring nature through sustainable land management.
Dr. Joe Bozeman:Dr. Joe Bozeman: Environmental Destruction of Low Income and Minority Populations Around the world.
People everywhere taking action: Dr. Robert Moir, Ocean River Institute: While people everywhere are waiting on national leadership to make policies that don’t harm our planet, real change also happens at the local level. We feature Dr. Rob Moir of the Ocean River Institute on actions that people everywhere can take and the understanding of the the biology of our planetary systems and how we can make better use of our lawns without pesticides; how can photosynthesis draw down CO2 from the Atmosphere.
Nnimmo Bassey is an architect, environmental activist, author and poet, who chaired the Friends of the Earth International and was executive director of Environmental Rights Action for Two Decades. Nnimmo was also one of Time Magazine’s Heroes of the Environment in 2009. Nnimmo became a Right Livelihood Laureate for his work in promoting sustainability. On today’s show, Nnimmo discusses sustainable development and climate justice and the role of grassroots organizations in the developing world.
Understanding the Transition:Professor Chris Rhodes is a scientist and writer who is part of Scientists Warning for Humanity. In this very easy to understand conversation, Professor Rhodes tells us where we are in the real transition to clean and renewable energy.
Clean Dave: Educating the Youth: For many years, you could see punk comedian and lyricist at various New York City punk clubs or some of the really authentic stores selling punk lifestyle and clothing…. But how did this punk rock wordsmith go from punk to planet? How did he evolve from smoke filled clubs to educating young school children about valuing the Earth and understanding environmental science? It is time to Slam Dunk the Junk with Dave Street.
Dr. Robert Bullard, the Father of Environmental Justice in the US: Dr. Robert Bullard is widely considered to be the father of the environmental justice movement in the US. Dr. Bullard is a professor of urban planning and environmental policy at Texas Southern University and has worked as an advisor to Congress as well as the Clinton/Gore administration at addressing the disproportionate impacts of environmental destruction on communities of color. On today’s show, Dr. Bullard discusses the state of environmental justice and how the movement has progressed since he became involved in 1978.
We are on the cusp of one of the fastest, deepest, most consequential disruptions of transportation in history. By 2030, within 10 years of regulatory approval of autonomous vehicles (AVs), 95% of U.S. passenger miles traveled will be served by on-demand autonomous electric vehicles owned by fleets, not individuals, in a new business model we call “transport-as-a-service” (TaaS). The TaaS disruption will have enormous implications across the transportation and oil industries, decimating entire portions of their value chains, causing oil demand and prices to plummet, and destroying trillions of dollars in investor value — but also creating trillions of dollars in new business opportunities, consumer surplus and GDP growth.
The disruption will be driven by economics. Using TaaS, the average American family will save more than $5,600 per year in transportation costs, equivalent to a wage raise of 10%. This will keep an additional $1 trillion per year in Americans’ pockets by 2030, potentially generating the largest infusion of consumer spending in history.
We have reached this conclusion through exhaustive analysis of data, market, consumer and regulatory dynamics, using well-established cost curves and assuming only existing technology. This report presents overwhelming evidence that mainstream analysis is missing, yet again, the speed, scope and impact of technology disruption. Unlike those analyses, which produce linear and incremental forecasts, our modeling incorporates systems dynamics, including feedback loops, network effects and market forces, that better reflect the reality of fast-paced technology-adoption S-curves. These system dynamics, unleashed as adoption of TaaS begins, will create a virtuous cycle of decreasing costs and increasing quality of service and convenience, which will in turn drive further adoption along an exponential S-curve. Conversely, individual vehicle ownership, especially of internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles, will enter a vicious cycle of increasing costs, decreasing convenience and diminishing quality of service.

Sharing the wisdom to people everywhere on such an ambitious scale requires an enormous transformation of our energy systems and transportation, transforming from dirty oil, petroleum and coal towards wind, solar, and electric.
Additionally, there are new movements that have the power and potential to literally transform our energy and transportation systems for the ultimate good of all. Electric vehicles, solar, wind, renewables, transportation as a service and the organizations amplifying the stories of solutions.
How can we the people come together and bring forth such a change?
We already possess the wisdom, the talent, the desire and dedication to bring forth ultimate health and well-being.
People, let’s get ready and join Mobilized in the conversations on the future of sustainable energy and transportion for all.
