![]() I think this trailer was an extra on that very DVD. I bought this movie based on a few things: The trailer (which conveys one thing, when in actuality it's something else entirely), the seemingly promised ass-kicking ladies (see: trailer, synopsis, cover art, title, etc.), and, I watched this documentary all about these crazy exploitation movies produced by Americans, and made in the Philippines in the 1970's, and it was one wild ride. but many of us know for a fact that our current way of life is unsustainable, so we Have to consider alternatives.Right up to the very end! It was like, enough already. Can we create a better life and experience more progress if we live more like our ancestors? Idk. So perhaps those many other ancient cultures were on to something when they regularly used these more organic methods to experience reality beyond our own. Meaning everything we perceive with our physical senses is a kind of a 'simulation' our minds are putting together for us. I know this sounds absolutely crazy, but much of our science today is actually showing that our physical reality is NOT fundamental. Specifically, I challenge myself and others to consider the idea that our modern-day technology is actually a more primitive form of technology than could be had if we perhaps utilized our consciousness more directly (perhaps through psychedelics or meditation and such). They have kept their way of life as a hunter-gatherer culture for 150,000 years!! I put forth some ideas as to why that is and how our current day society can stand to learn a lot from their way of life. In this audiojournal entry, I talk about what I learned about the San people, the oldest civilization on Earth. Here is some of the research I am basing this on: how can we learn from them? And how did we go so wrong? These pre-historic cultures in fact lived a life that we all are trying to get back to as we figure out how to solve inequality, xenophobia, disease, productivity, sustainability, loneliness, lack of purpose, etc. ![]() My research into hunter-gather cultures is uncovering the reality that for most of human history, humanity was *not* 'greedy', 'violent', 'selfish' or suffering from inequity. In this long-form podcast/journal I talk about some practical ideas for blockchain/NFT/crypto technology (ie for scientific rigor and communication) and then go deep into the delusion of scarcity. With agriculture we traded abundance for future planning(?) (Didn't get to talk about the following, maybe next time) We value all of these today, but comparatively, we do not have as good structures HGs had highly involved child care in terms of education, play, character building, and self-sufficiency you don't have to plan out how to get your subsistence Similarly, what sets apart 'developed' nations and middle class families from poorer ones is the fact that they can find food and water. HGs had no concept of scarcity, they didn't wander where they were going to get their food because they knew they could always find something Perhaps we can have a more equal society with skills-based roles HGs had egalitarian society with biological-based specialization and roles Matrilocal society was the first major successful family structure Thus is the future of education: Lifelong learning, project based, real world, collaborative, measurable, iterative, contextual, and meaningful. And the whole thing is an interconnected system. Every project should therefore be an ongoing process done by multiple generations of people. Once they implement the project, they should measure it's impact and iterate accordingly. As they near the implementation of the project, they should test the product or service in real world scenarios. Then, they should be able to collaborate on a project with an interdisciplinary team with people of differing levels of experience. to learn the context and work with the people suffering those problems. Folks should be prompted and given the resources to not just solve random problems, but instead be directed to ask why. Instead of schools as we have them now, we should have library-like facilities and intranets where people can 'check out' a course on any subject. Education should be a lifelong institution for solving real world problems.
