    Episode 441: The Paradoxes of Young Humans


    If we focused on paradoxes and not labels we'd embrace difference ... diversity and just simple human complex nature 

    I can't listen or read or accept any of the limiting views that are meant to be supporting this circus any longer.. how can more attention mean more challenges? It's because of the intention behind the attention.

    Episode 438: The spectres of society that feed on teens for self-gain

    The world has worked out how to manipulate Teens (and their parents) by the sheer fact that they are driven by outward influence - everyone is feeding off this need for their financial gain. From education to social media to big corporations and pop stars.

    Episode 437: The real tragedy of school refusal, school anxiety and self-harm cycle


    The talented souls who are sent to the equivalent of daycare and who have so much to offer our humanity are the ones I can't forget.  The system is happy because they are occupied and I know the solutions for our future have been lost.

    Episode 436: Why are Teens behaving as packs of Wolves?

    I keep asking this question - why? Why are teens moving as packs?  Seeking safety in numbers? Why carry knives? 

    Fear 

    then we ask the question why are they fearful? Then I look at the trajectory of what we have been presenting in real time to them online - with all the lies that make every civics and social studies class a complete lie.

    Episode 435: From the Top Down

    Who do we hold accountable for the distress we have seen on the streets? For the waves of online bullying? 

    How do we decide who's children should die? 

    How do we expect there to be a moral sanity as 'normal' in these contradictions?

    The only people you are hurting by not voting for a Black Woman now are those who believe in unity and hope. The Black people in your life, past and present, who have fought for this change.
