Manage episode 324413068 series 2799698
[Podcast previously entitled Sacred Wisdom]
This is a conversation about Patriarchy and Capitalism with Alnoor Ladha, board member of Greenpeace International USA, and a visiting lecturer at New York University (NYU) and Columbia University. Alnoor is a writer and speaker on new forms of activism, the structural causes of inequality, the link between climate change and poverty, and the rise of the Global South as a powerful organizing force in the transition to a post-capitalist world.
More recently, he co-founded the intentional 'community', Brave Earth, in Costa Rica. This is how I know him. Brave Earth is perhaps better described as a living laboratory, for it inquires into how we can adapt, create more resiliency and become more attuned to the current cultural context. This context is referred to as the Anthropocene, late-stage capitalism or the Kali Yuga. As a living laboratory it asks crucial questions for our collective evolution: how do we decolonize our minds from the dominant culture of capitalism, patriarchy, racialized hierarchies, scarcity logic and oppressive systems of control? How do we become stewards in service to all Life?
This is an in-depth, thorough examination and semantic dissection of capitalism and patriarchy. Alnoor makes the case that there is simply no place for either of these structures if we are to evolve.
