Wow. So much to think about in this post. I had been wondering about our transition to electric cars and solar and if it is as promised. I still drive a petrol car in hope of one day being able to drive less - walk to work or catch public transport. I see so many teslas and wonder about why they are popular and where the cars are that we’re driver by those owners before they bought their fast Tesla…yes better than petrol but I do wonder about the merits when we are still buying to consume the latest thing.
As for your information on pro- Natalism am….with that combine with Trump - is Hand maids tale coming true?
And yes, we hate not knowing, and the sad thing is kids hate not knowing too. Our adult behaviour is not helping them as so many young kids at school can’t wait, they need to google and the question why they have to wait….it’s hard.
Just read your post on Hipster Eugenics where you wrote “Our responses are not only making the problem worse, they make the OG problem look almost benign.”
That was only 10 months ago that you wrote that yet it seems quite prophetic and even more prescient today!
Interesting that the pre-conception eugenics discussion skipped the eyesight test - and possibly the psychological stability or a basic IQ test too - I wonder what else they missed? Is Mormonism considered a genetically preferred feature?
Is it a failed experiment if the offspring fail to be exceptional?
I’ve not gotten through this whole read, but I just listened to the latest pod!
When I saw it was with a Prof, I was hoping you’d ask about the University conundrum!
Thankyou for asking Joel, I agree with what he’s saying about learning the ‘soft’ skills which are so needed for the times, I just think there must be a better way then having a bagillion $ HECS debt 😅
...I also LOL’d when you said ‘get off the dating apps Sarah, that’s the lesson here’ hahahaha!!
Wow. Aho to not knowing I reckon, we used to cope ok without it..
I read somewhere today Elon Musk takes ketamine for his anxiety and depression and he's losing traders over this.
Also an American friend informed me Elon Musk and Bill Gates won the RGB award ( !? ) which is a humanitarian award and goes against all Ruth stood for...( in the supreme court )
More moloch surely...
The eugenics thing, I remember feeling squirmish a while back....
Look forward to the next podcast and the intuition thing, and A.I ? I will say, ( freakish ) I thought about something then an add came up for it on my phone.....
......
Also whatever we watch before sleep/rest can become a dream.
Would be great if you could record the get together and share the wonderful convo in the land of Byron...
Charles Eisenstein wrote recently about not being taken over by the machine, and has taken to writing with a typewriter, he finds this authentic and easier to convey his message. He seems good of heart,
and Sarah you havent really shared your thoughts on him, so I'm guessing he may grate you a little bit?
Hes copped a lot of flack, during and after covid, and for his work with JFK junior, i get a bit lost w american politics, so i let it slide as i like his nature messages, and need for love and humanity. His wife is an acupuncturist and lost her work with covid so he was ragey regarding this. And all the lockdowns
On a side note Acupuncture is wonderful, can be life saving snd helpful for hormonal stuff!
As for the machine, and raging against it...hasn't the horse bolted?
I still do my rages and it's not always helpful I heard recently, when you hand a kid a phone, they aren't getting access to the world, the world is getting access to them
I loved your interview with Professor Joel Pearson on Intuition and look forward to another interview with Joel on his latest project - no doubt it will touch on synchronicity as in my experience following your intuition leads to beautiful experiences of synchronicity. I see your high ranking here on Substack for Australian producers https://substack.com/globe?country=AU Happy travelling and best wishes
Great post, Sarah. God, the natalist stuff boils my blood. And along those same lines is the rise of the "trad wife" movement. Young women choosing to be fully submissive to their husbands, except maybe what she decides to cook for dinner. The backlash towards feminism and equality has taken a really sinister turn the last couple of years, aligned nicely with the rise of authoritarianism. It's scary.
Sarah, yes this is a thing! Do you think you might write more about this? Or have you already? “I’m feeling what I always feel when I’m stepping back into the frightening unknown…a free-falling melancholy that exposes to me all the choices I’ve made in my life - good, bad and inevitable.”
Missed the earlier piece on pro-natalism, thanks for linking in, I think... what the actual?! Just when I think humanity has shown the worst of its dehumanising destructive capabilities, along comes another mind boggling group-think to shock.
That capture of the library scene is everything!!!
Hugs, Sar. Go well, travel safe and may you slip back into a Parisian groove without too much trouble and may the words keep tumbling out of you.
Much love x

So wonderful to gather briefly with some of this community tonight in Byron.
Thanks for taking time out Sarah and hope to stay connected to those in my ‘hood 🩵

I have questions!
See you in the library Steve 🙌
