Our Failing Education System

You can understand a lot about our culture through the lens of addiction. Addiction is another area where we attack the symptom and ignore the cause.   Filmed by Jonathan Hiller: HillerVisual.com   #CharlesEisenstein #MentalHealth #Addiction #Recovery #Society #Philosophy #Authors

Where Does Addiction Come From?

I could say that my mission is to serve the advent of the story of interbeing, but I feel like any words I put onto it reduce it.I have to say: I can't say what my mission is, but I've become better able to recognize what's aligned with my purpose for being here.   Filmed by Jonathan Hiller: HillerVisual.com   #CharlesEisenstein #Success #Activism #Purpose #Philosophy #Authors

What Am I Here to Do?

Is Competition Human Nature?

Ever since about 1790, economic philosophers have puzzled over a question: "What are we going to do with all the surplus labor when machines do all the work?"   Filmed by Jonathan Hiller: HillerVisual.com   #CharlesEisenstein #UBI #UniversalBasicIncome #AndrewYang #Economy #Economics #Philosophy #Authors

The Case for a Universal Basic Income

How Much Good Can One Person Really Do?

The story reveals itself like this gigantic angelic being coming through the fog and sometimes the fog clears just enough to see one facet of it's wing, and it's so beautiful that if you saw the whole thing, you would have to turn away. Because it's painful to see what could be, something that beautiful, and to know that the world is so far from that.But once you've seen a possible future, you know it's real, and you know it can happen. All you need to know is "what's the next step?"   Filmed by Jonathan Hiller: HillerVisual.com   #CharlesEisenstein #Interbeing #Loss #Grief #Inspiration #Philosophy #Authors
