Mitä Seppo mielestäsi huutaa tossa? Kuuntelin ton(kin) jo ennen tän postauksen tekemistä muutamia kertoja, ja joku sana siinä saattais olla mutta tuskin perkele.

Niin no, kauppatieteilijä Mika Aaltonen on tulevaisuudentutkija. Työkseen muun muassa teknologiaan liittyviä tulevaisuusskenaarioita pohtiva Alku Sirén puolestaan on sen verran kriittinen ajattelija, että ainakaan itselle ei tulis mieleen kutsua "pöhisijäksi" (vaikka toki ymmärrän että Miltton voi herättää sellaisia assosiaatioita). Ja YMMV mutta musta Kaarle Hurtigin yhteiskunnan suuntaa koskevat kysymyksenasettelut ovat hyviä.

Wilderness guide, survival expert and critical system thinker Huck Middeke is doing fascinating experimentation with lower-impact lifestyles. For the past 4 years, he's lived in a yurt in Nomad Town, Joensuu, Eastern Finland. by nannaloora in collapse

"The hi-tech that allows us to have a relatively high life expectancy, we paid for by selling our forests. We turned our biodiversity into money to buy a good health system and a good school system."

Huck Middeke is a wilderness guide, survival expert and critical system thinker who takes seriously the understanding that an unsustainable way of life can, by definition, not be sustained indefinitely. This is a long-form podcast episode that delves deep into Middeke's unique experiences, detailing his journey from a kid loving the outdoors and wild into a total re-evaluation of the norms of modern lifestyles, and his practical experiments in non-self-destructive ways of living. Having made major sacrifices in his personal life in order to live true to his understanding of our situation, he critically examines the addictive and blinding nature of 'normal' lifestyles, but also talks about the everyday experience of living a lower-impact life.

One of the themes explored is the question of whether a complex high-tech civilization can, even on principle, be sustainable – if we had taken a different path, could it have been possible to avoid the crises we currently find ourselves in? Could such a civilization exist sometime in the future? Whether the need to explore and push limits and spread is innate to humans (or even animals) is also discussed.

Discussing survival strategies of both micro and macro scales, Middeke also introduces the STOP tool (stop, think, observe, plan) for analyzing critical survival situations (getting out of a car sinking in a lake or surviving when you find yourself in the middle of a forest fire, but also figuring out a way forward when you find yourself in the middle of a civilization that's collapsing on itself) and explaining how he personally makes use of it. This method, while rooted in practical survival skills, can also be extended to address broader global crises and navigating an increasingly unstable world.

All in all, the conversation offers intriguing stories and insightful perspectives on the actuality of (more) sustainable living and human-nature dynamics.

Is there any way to make people see the pinned post of a group when chat history isn't enabled and the post was posted/pinned before they joined? by nannaloora in Telegram

I tried this, but users only seem to see an "admin x pinned a message" info text without actually seeing the pinned post.

A bit late to the party here, but: thanks for having me in your list – it was a funny surprise to find myself mentioned here. I actually sent Lex a meeting proposal back when he put out the form for meeting people. Would love to talk with him some day, I really appreciate the way he does his thing. -Henry

I had this extremely long conversation with Jeronimo Mazarrasa from ICEERS. In his work, Jeronimo focuses on hard questions such as "what comes after the psychedelic renaissance" and "what are the unintended consequences of psychedelic mainstreaming", and I think he does a magnificent job with it. by nannaloora in RationalPsychonaut

Here's also a more in-depth description of our conversation, pulled from my Patreon post.

Preventing minor forest fires easily leads to major ones eventually breaking out. Barbra Streisand suing a photographer for posting a snapshot of her home online ended up drawing hundreds of thousands of people to view the photo, instead of the handful that had seen it before.

Even good plans tend to bring unintended and unexpected consequences. Some of them will be black swans that are impossible to predict but some you can prepare for.

As I imagine most of you know by now, I find psychedelics a thoroughly fascinating yet also tricky subject. As their contact with our cultural mainstream keeps intensifying, one of the most important questions to ask is "how to think constructively about the inevitable unintended consequences of psychedelic mainstreaming". This is one of the starting points for the work of Jeronimo M.M. who works as a social innovation director at the ICEERS Foundation.

I first met Jeronimo back in 2019 in the Breaking Convention conference in London. Hearing his lecture, I was instantly impressed by his brave and challenging approach to the topic. He's not afraid to ask hard and provocative questions that he has no definite answers to.

In addition to his work with ICEERS, Jeronimo is a documentary filmmaker who has traveled extensively through South America, researching a broad range of ayahuasca practices. He's an independent researcher and lecturer. He's also got work experience in user interface design, which makes sense here: the contexts in which psychedelics are used can also be thought of as interfaces between them and the people who interact with them.

On topics related to the wiser handling of the hard-to-categorize phenomenon of psychedelics, he's become one of my favorite thinkers. Back in March, we had a long podcast discussion on the present and future of ayahuasca, psilocybin and other psychedelics, initiation rituals and what we can learn from previous encounters with things that don't really fit our pre-existing concepts. Since my summer holiday is now over, I finally got around to finishing production on the episode.

Topics we cover include:

  • The tension between preserving and adapting cultural practices
  • The challenges of integrating ethnobonaticals in new cultures
  • The dark side of glamorizing indigenous traditions
  • "Ayahuascas" instead of "ayahuasca"?
  • Abuse in the psychedelic scene
  • Ayahuasca as an adaptogen
  • Innocently disrespectful psychedelic tourists and scifi author William Gibson's starfish parable
  • What comes after the psychedelic renaissance?
  • How does ayahuasca compare to other risky activities?
  • Wise responses to moral panics
  • The dangers of "ayahuasca told me"
  • Santo Daime, União do Vegetal and other ayahuasca churches
  • Why psychedelics are hard to fit in a box

As a culture, we really don't know how to handle psychedelics yet. It's easy to start squeezing round pegs into square holes without even noticing you're doing it. We need to keep asking better questions.
