Global Pause - Rethink the Future
278 episodes - English - Latest episode: 5 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.

#123: Our spiritual disease
November 09, 2021 23:16 - 20 minutes - 19.1 MBWe explore the nature of the disease we are beholden to when our action presupposes time to be the thing it isn't. We create a virulent claim that compromises us in ways we won't recognise is a direct consequence of this singular cause. We discuss.

November 06, 2021 20:28 - 24 minutes - 22.4 MBWe explore the concept of coherence from a collective point of view. What would it take to create a heart centred culture? We discuss

November 02, 2021 20:57 - 19 minutes - 17.8 MBWhen the economic good of time is used to produce the consumer, the marginality of our time is what needs to be reconciled to bring confluence, or a holism our lifes otherwise lack. We discuss.
#120: Beholden to no place
October 31, 2021 22:36 - 18 minutes - 17.1 MBWe explore the way we apportion time as lots when an economic good gets externalised as enclosures or a sub divided Earth, that very much is the no place of the market for our time
#119: Opportunity cost
October 27, 2021 22:19 - 21 minutes - 19.2 MBIf there is a cost to always being addressed as a consumer this would mean opportunity for change is being given. We explore this through the "product return of the consumer" and the opportunity cost business will eventually bear.
#118: Can we transcend the use of money?
October 23, 2021 22:55 - 21 minutes - 20.1 MBImpossible! We are only limited by our thinking, so does thinking the impossible allow us to question what we presuppose with it use so as to surpass it? We discuss.
#117: To be grateful
October 23, 2021 02:03 - 24 minutes - 22.2 MBAre we ever grateful in our everydayness, can this gratitude given as part of an exchange become embodied to ultimately become a reverence for life? what would need to change we discuss
#116: Captivation
October 18, 2021 22:11 - 23 minutes - 21.7 MBIs our way of life a captivation that allows a myopia to be expressed through a myriad of ways? Narratives tell a story so are they telling the singular story of our perennial captivation when they fail to address the only cause that will make sense of everything?
#115: Choice in money?
October 16, 2021 21:50 - 18 minutes - 17.3 MBIf we do not think through monies givenness we will continue to be beholden to the past. To credit ourselves with creativity is to see past what we think it gives to what it ultimately conceals - the future

#112: The production of the consumer
October 04, 2021 22:43 - 22 minutes - 20.5 MBWe produce ourselves as we are sold on being consumers of life and not its co-creators. To understand the process is to make transparent the potential latent within our everydayness. we discuss
#111: Who are you working for?
September 30, 2021 23:03 - 21 minutes - 19.4 MBWhen the ideal of independence is a given this enables the aspiration to be leveraged that allows other people to feed off what remains of the agency yet to be demonstrated. A position contingent on a specific form of action can be surpassed, if we only give ourselves to a future no longer beholden to the past. We discuss.

#109: A dystopian future?
September 24, 2021 03:32 - 23 minutes - 21.9 MBWe facilitate a dystopian future through our actions that are beholden to the no place for the market for our time.

We discuss.
