Douglas @rushkoff.com says it all, and it is #CollectiveShamanism. Let's do it:
"Those of us who've had the privilege of escaping that virtual reality for moments at a time, for moments long enough to navigate soulfully and somatically rather than selfishly or strategically, yes, we ought to do it because it's not even a personal activity. What you quickly realize is that we humans and other life forms are navigating this wave collectively. How well we do is dependent on how many of us can retrieve these more essential sensibilities, the ratio of free living people to captive or unconscious ones. We don't have to rely solely on propaganda to convince people to make appropriate choices. Not when we have effective memes. When we act with compassion and resonance in appreciative surrender to the way things are trying to unfold, we model something else, a #collectiveshamanism, a shared awe, a glimpse of what it feels like to live on #TeamHuman." #DouglasRushkoff

"... if you're aiming all your energy toward bitterness, and jealously, and I want to take people down, what does that lead to?"

That's an insightful question.

"... I keep coming back to this feeling that we're existing on this very thin membrane over ... just an ocean of tears. And, I've got more courage to go there and touch it, but it's ... there's so much grief!"

"By leaving politics out [of the psychedelics movement] we just got co-opted by the worst of the worst. Same with the net, it's like we followed John Barlow; 'governments stay away, we don't need you', and it's like 'oh no, the corporations took over'."

Barlow was responding to the kind of wrongheaded attempts at net regulation we've seen so many times recently; link taxes, youth bans, etc.

"What happened - and partly as a result of the marketing of identity politics, by people who were exploiting the gender problem and race problems and all that for political and capitalist ends... really consumerist ends - they've kind of bastardised self and community derived notions of identity.
It's led to... identity as a performance, rather than identity as a state of being. As your natural moment to moment expression."

"*If* we only have 90 seconds, left that's still no reason not to celebrate the ecstasy of our collective existence."

"The oligarchs are trying to destroy our Enlightenment experiment by destroying politics. Politics in the USA has been destroyed."
#DavidBrin, 2023
"Right and without the politics, you can't define the arenas in which the competition is happening. You can't create the rules sets..."

"We need a new discussion in society about; what is a solidarity-based politics for an age of collapse?"

"It is corrosive and it is *decadent*, in the truest sense of the word. Decadent is not drinking champaign, right, or sushi, it's decay. It is decay of the values and morals on which a society depends."

TLDW of #FoldingIdeas' #Gamestock / #MemeStocks video https://youtu.be/5pYeoZaoWrA?t=8826 😔 "No one deserves" to:
1> be exploited like this
2> get shaken down [so] they have no other choice but to become #grifters themselves […]
3> have their ego and security ground down to the point that there’s no escape, no reason to step back and admit defeat, no reason to reflectEmpathy, sufficiency & community (#GameB #SolarPunk #TeamHuman) are antidotes to greed & despair of #VampireCapitalism! 🌞 vs. 🧛

"In a world where tech has become a transcendent force, people are always looking for guidance."
by @gepstein
"Techno-solutionism and related ideas can function as a kind of theology, justifying harm in the here and now with the promise of a sweet technological hereafter."

"I just read Anand's new book The Persuaders [Anand Giridharadas: https://thepersuadersbook.com/]. He evinces or quotes a theory of messaging that says; you should start with an appeal to shared values, then identify a problem... then identify a villain."

@Rushkoff and @msifry not only talking smart #TeamHuman stuff, but nice shout-out to #PeteSeeger's #SloopClearwater campaign to clean-up the Hudson, starting some 50 years ago. Does activism need more #singing and #banjos? https://www.teamhuman.fm/episodes/237-micah-sifry

Douglas Rushkoff's announcement about his new book 'Survival of the Richest' suggests to me that plot of the 1989 Ben Elton scifi novel 'Stark' is rapidly becoming reality. Except Elton couldn't have predicted that all the richlist survivalists made their money from digital tech.

@witchescauldron
a systemic issue with an #openweb maybe simply the realisation that there is no #altleft or #altright just people. Me? I'm on #teamhuman -
Riane Eisler appeared recently on the Team Human podcast. Riane is perhaps best known as the author of eco-feminist classic 'The Chalice and the Blade'. But she and host Douglas Rushkoff talked a bit about her 2019 book co-authored with Douglas P. Fry; 'Nurturing Our Humanity: How Domination and Partnership Shape Our Brains, Lives and Future':

"Talk is just Hot Air"So, if you want to prevent the #climatecrisis "Shut the Fuck Up!"
As you are merely increasing the levels of #co2 in our environment.

@dajbelshaw
Stripped down to the lowest common denomination? I suppose it assists the #algorithm
Personally, I find this increasing need & reliance on #ai to be worrying in the extreme.
I am very much with #rushkoff on this one, be on #teamhuman. #educationisahumanright -
Wrote a book summary of Douglas Rushkoff's latest book: Team Human.

I'm listening to #DougRushkoff's interview with #FredTurner on #TeamHuman and its occurs to me that we are presented with a false choice, when it comes to the future of democracy. One the one hand, we're being asked to resuscitate the old, centralized model of the "nation-station", and on the other hand to abandon it in favour of a completely fluid, distributed model of P2P consensus over social networks. A model that we've seen lend itself to massive tyrannies of structurelessness. (1/2)

Here's the #TeamHuman episode with #RogerMcNamee talking about his experience mentoring Mark Zuckerberg in the early years of FB:
https://teamhuman.fm/episodes/ep-124-roger-mcnamee/ -
"[Zuckerberg's] notion that connecting the whole world on one network was so obviously a good idea that it justified whatever means were necessary to get there."
- #RogerMcNamee talking to #DougRushkoff on #TeamHumanAn otherwise laudable desire for universal human unity, without respect for #DueProcess, or community rights to be autonomous from larger structures of power, is the essence of Empire. #KenWilbur pointed this out in 'A Brief History of Everything'. Democracy is network, not empire.

@humanetech was that expert #DougRushkoff by any chance? I've heard him tell stories that sounds similar to this on his #TeamHuman podcast

@adfeno #DougRushkoff's monologue on a recent edition of #TeamHuman is kind of relevant here. He's talking about the image of the US projected to Europe during the Cold War.
> "The problem was that the image of America the agencies [State Department, CIA, US Information Agency etc] were projecting to the world, wasn't the image many Americans had of themselves".
