Revolution Now!

In a vast range of topics surrounding the idea of Democracy, Peter Joseph explains how a working democracy, from a cybernetic standpoint, would need to be organized very differently from the representative structure seen today. He describes why contemporary democracy is a catastrophic failure, then spending some time on the "activist industrial complex;" then moving into dominant cultural mechanisms of system preservation that limit social change and more, including a detailed dissection on "social inheritance" and the philosophical neuroses that stops society from sharing the fruits of collective society's technological efficiency, with all the world's citizens. He also addresses the 4 major feedback loops of societal destabilization, coming from market economics, using an analogy from Stafford beer to express how the sequence of perturbations will begin to accelerate faster than any resting time, along with discussing first principles of environmental sustainability, and how it will serve as the baseline foundation of democratic thought in the future, including with the Integral Project - and much more.

In Episode 56 of Revolution Now! (approximately two hours), Peter Joseph explores the links between market economics and the drive toward imperialism, conflict and international war. Also discussed is the importance of overriding "Hedonic Adaptation" in pursuit of post-scarcity, as associated to the Integral Project. The program concludes with a 45 minute interview with investigative journalist and filmmaker Abby Martin in regard to the ongoing genocide and ethnic cleansing in Gaza, Palestine.
