278 episodes - English - Latest episode: 4 months ago -

We are consumers of life not its co-creators, so we are just givens. We are given credit for our wants and thats it. We consume our time as an economic good to no end. To see beyond the consumer is to see potential for change that would not just add value to the buyers journey called life, but unmarket it.

Episodes

#223: Provisional metric of profitability

December 14, 2022 21:16 - 19 minutes - 35.8 MB

We explore change through the relationality that is externalised so business can sell themselves on a customer 1st orientation. How does potentialising it beyond the reduction of business orthodoxy create the trap for an entire civilisational domain? We explore because we are stupid enough to do so. 

#222: Credit of ownership

December 11, 2022 01:38 - 35 minutes - 65.5 MB

We explore how money as a credit made separable to the relationality needs a vehicle for this not to occur. We explore this through the credit of ownership of the civilidsational enterprise of the relationality otherwise externalised

#221: Culture as competition

December 08, 2022 21:42 - 22 minutes - 41.2 MB

We explore the difference in competition when business does not jostle for the want of a vertical but rather potentialises cooperation through the relationality it otherwise externalises.

#220: Cost of management

December 06, 2022 03:09 - 30 minutes - 56.7 MB

#219: Money as marketing

December 01, 2022 21:19 - 22 minutes - 42.1 MB

We explore how money markets a way of life to not question how we produce ourselves that ensures the question why we use credit we are not the originators also remains unquestioned

#218: Social credit

November 29, 2022 01:26 - 24 minutes - 45 MB

We explore social credit when the relationality of the social is not questioned. What does credit entail when we are not the originator of the one we use? Is there a credit that is inseparable from the person that would potentialise culture beyond the asset our current paradigm impoverishes it into? We discuss 

#217: Our roles as vehicles

November 26, 2022 21:36 - 21 minutes - 40.3 MB

If we have to acquit ourselves of a claim made on time, how do we address this in the roles that are otherwise used to achieve this? We explore. 

#216: The alignment of values

November 23, 2022 04:46 - 29 minutes - 55.1 MB

We explore the way values are marketed to maintain life as a buyers journey as we can only align with the value attributable to time when values conceals this equivalence we acquit ourselves of.

#215: The division of labour

November 20, 2022 22:37 - 20 minutes - 37.9 MB

How does the division of labour work when the given of the consumer is not considered as the the principle product our economy produces? If productivity has nothing to do with our cooperation, but rather a limit to our thinking, we have to think the limitation the consumer imposes to explore what is beyond it . 

#214: Cost of living as consumers

November 16, 2022 22:19 - 21 minutes - 39.7 MB

Do we ever think there is a cost to our being given as consumers of life and not its co-creators ? We explore this through the opportunity cost of our actions.

#212: Social enterprise?

November 09, 2022 00:07 - 18 minutes - 34.4 MB

Is there a cost to social enterprise? What would this cost be if the purpose sold regions the good they can do so enables what is externalised to persist? We discuss.

#211: Goodwill of roles

November 01, 2022 23:11 - 25 minutes - 46.8 MB

How do we animate goodwill that would further potentialise a civilisational enterprise of transcending the form of life of the consumer? We explore the turns we take in roles when receptive to giving ourselves more credit than the want we otherwise are.. 

#210: The buyers journey set

October 29, 2022 01:12 - 21 minutes - 40.9 MB

Are there stages of the buyers journey when it is set through the totalising claim made on time that makes us marginal. We explore whether this rather involves a revelation as there is not progression to see what we are beholden allows for no outside.

#209: To risk the form of life

October 26, 2022 04:22 - 26 minutes - 49.4 MB

If the marketing of intangibles can only generate a diminishing return when they are sold, this is because to supplement a good can only highlight what business is sold on first - the consumer. We explore why change requires risking the form of life.

October 21, 2022 22:52 - 22 minutes - 42.2 MB

#204: Pollution as marketing

October 04, 2022 22:05 - 22 minutes - 41.8 MB

If we look at the issue of pollution as marketing the form of life of the consumer, does the issue sanction power as an arbiter for the future by qualifying what people are credited so as to dictate behaviour considered "harmful"? We explore.

October 02, 2022 02:02 - 39 minutes - 74.7 MB

September 29, 2022 06:17 - 16 minutes - 30.2 MB

September 19, 2022 22:38 - 19 minutes - 36.8 MB

September 18, 2022 03:57 - 19 minutes - 36.7 MB

#197: Understanding audience capture

September 13, 2022 22:22 - 15 minutes - 28.2 MB

September 10, 2022 02:51 - 25 minutes - 46.6 MB

September 07, 2022 04:11 - 20 minutes - 39.2 MB

What would constitute an off message for an entire way of life? One that does not substantiate an existential propaganda we are paradoxically are oblivious to so wont be able to discern it is in fact off, so most likely will take it as horse shit, marketing hyperbole, or absolute drivel. ;>) 

#193: Existential propaganda

September 02, 2022 23:29 - 20 minutes - 37.5 MB

August 19, 2022 23:14 - 19 minutes - 36.8 MB

August 07, 2022 00:29 - 24 minutes - 46 MB

August 02, 2022 23:22 - 26 minutes - 48.9 MB
