Hey Alicia! So nice to hear your voice . This looks interesting, I hope I can listen this afterwards in full.

Totally support your work! We have to plan now for Earth's future!!

56:40 - "You are a powerful example and I have on multiple occasions pointed people in your direction. 'You've got to go check out this talk. He's speaking here. You've got to go meet with this man.' Because we have to have your voice out there as often as possible." -Alicia Fall to Theo Wilson

54:33 - "There are times when (the other side's views) are valid. I can't just dismiss it because we have political division. People have valid concerns and we have to respect each other." -Alicia Fall, Founder of Her Many Voices

52:02 - "There's only one game in town. That is the game of personal development in all of this - the raising of awareness, consciousness, and your values - integrity, focus, love, compassion... that's really what's going on... it's true because when you do that work, new things become available to you in whatever external fight you are engaged in. And those tools would not have been there had you not done the inner work to see through the madness and to the solution. And that's part of how you do not become the enemy."

51:22 - "That is not easy, because if we hear something that we cannot even fathom, it's so hard to (believe) because we have cognitive dissonance, to think it's ok for anyone to do what's happening to people... So this is a reminder that there are a lot of things happening that we need to be aware of." -Myrna

49:54 - "The good must take into account the true nature of the opposition and how far they are willing to go. That means you have to stare into the abyss of the darkness that they have, without letting it overcome you. Understand that they... who oppose the freedom of the people, have learned their strategies and been inculcated into the idea that that's the only way. So know how far they'll go, including murder, genocide -- the whole nine -- they'll do it. It's scary. Figure out your strategy to fight effectively without becoming it." -Theo

49:00 - Theo will focus on economic rights in 2023. "I'm working on something that will reframe what wealth is. We have to change the frame. With a different frame, you make new ideas out of the new data points."

47:56 - "If the wealthiest people meet at Davos every year, and come back twice as wealthy the next year after they ran a simulation in the Event 201... I don't want to be Mr. Conspiracy Dude, but what people do is they say, 'I'm a skeptic,' but what they do is not even consider a conspiracy... A true skeptic has conspiracy on the table, and if it's not accurate, you sweep it off. If it is accurate, you follow it."

46:36 - "The reason it was not wise for me to (infiltrate the alt right online) is because I'm a police brutality survivor, and a lot of the wounds got reopened during that time. I was in such a dark place; I was insufferably combative... I should have been in the hands of a trained professional... if I do something like that ever again. I don't recommend it."

45:12 - "The Democrats ('the Left') decided that they needed to sacrifice people, business and connection to try to stop the virus, which we know now was an ineffective strategy - and we could have told you that back then. We are going to be in this garbage for a long time because of their actions. And it enabled the transfer of wealth. That's what happens when government is in the hands of corporations."

41:44 - "The same thing happened with covid with the bailouts. "Transfer of wealth" was in the media everywhere but no one ever said that it's a horrible thing because it was transferring the wealth of average Americans into the pockets of the wealthy, using Amazon alone as an example... The wealthy are getting wealthier, as happened in 2008." -Myrna "The cover story of the transfer of wealth is the fact that the Baby Boomers are getting old now, and that they are giving their money to the next generation. So the largest transfer of wealth in history is from the Boomers to the Millennials. That was the cover story. But what you are talking about, Myrna, is the true story. The true story is that small business, the only real competition to the corporatocracy took the biggest possible hit. And the net worth of the richest men in the world doubled in a few months?!"

38:03 - The funds from the bank bailouts of 2008 went to the wealthy. But the people still lost their homes. "That was the most strategic failure of the Obama administration... and the sub-prime loans were practiced in the black community in the 1990s... Those predatory lenders were practicing in the 'hood, devaluing black homes with no oversight... Obama had one job: Honor the poor. The whole symbolism of the black presidency is that you come from the bottom... The assumption is that you care about the little guy... What he should have done is buy up all the mortgages so people could stay in their homes."

Well done love. Your Grandfather, the Great Markey, would have been very proud of you!

37:50 - The 2008 bailout of certain corporations was voted against by the people by a margin of 100:1. "They know it was taxpayer money and that corporations had messed up, and by the laws of capitalism, you are supposed to go under... and the aid went to the wealthy..." -Theo "The bailout money did not go to help the people who lost their homes." -Myrna

35:15 - "Government is the only answer to this, but government in the hands of the people... Government is the glove. The corporation is the hand." 36:52 - "My wife is from Africa... The difference between corruption in Africa and America is that in Africa, they break the law. In America, they change it."

33:56 - "This is symptomatic of a greater problem - that of the corporate fascist state we live in. A lot of people do not fully understand the ramifications of corporate fascism, and we don't have a tool against it yet... What happens when the control of government levers is in the hands of a bundle of corporations? Well, now things get weird because the masters of these corporations, these oligarchs of this society can slowly erode the government barrier barring their influence, and they've done that for the last 50 years." - Theo

32:07 - "I'm a consultant for ethical AI. One of our biggest hurdles is that startups that are doing AI do not believe that they can be profitable if they're ethical!" -Myrna 33:05 - Social media is unethical for targeting undecided voters to influence elections with paid ads and misleading and false information, creating the echo-chamber of only one type of information presenting on the feed. 33:21 - In 2016, they did it to favor the right (Cambridge Analytica on Facebook featured in the Netflix documentary, The Great Hack), then in 2020, they did it to favor the left (Google).

30:16 - "One of the things I'm concerned about is making power (powerful people) understand their self-interest in these values (the importance of diversity). I've come to the hard conclusion that right and wrong don't cut it - not with power. They don't care (about right and wrong)." You have to appeal to power based on their self-interest. Activists need to understand that.

29:18 - "Different is good. Diversity is an inherently good thing." -Myrna 29:40 - "Diversity is what nature does. In fact, non-diverse populations are wiped out." -Theo Companies that have diversity in marketing departments get a higher return - higher profits.

27:21 "This (problem) is the fall-out of us never going through what Germany did - an intentional de-Nazification of our consciousness - an intentional deprogramming of our racism with the universal understanding that it's bad."

23:02 - How the TEDx Talk came to be. 24:05 - What Theo learned from infiltrating the alt right online. He learned that there are two types of people in the alt right. One was extremist, who could not be reasoned with. The other is someone who sees Obama as President and who doesn't understand what the problem is. This second type of person is worth engaging for a conversation about deradicalization. Theo acknowledges that he understands how they became radicalized: "With the data points that they got from their environment, I don't know how I would have come to any other conclusion had I been born on their side of the racial divide. I don't!"

19:25 - Theo's story of infiltrating the alt right online - the full story going back to 2015 when his first video about reparations for black people went viral and attracted trolls. We did not know about "echo chambers" yet, which are harmful.

15:00-19:20 - "Unpacking beauty standards" of skin tones. Discussion about my realizations of how different my upbringing was from those of black women. Theo discusses colorism and the problems with perceptions of value based on the color of our skin - including within the black community. He shared "the paper bag test," where darker skin black people were not allowed into church if they were too dark! "We have internalized the bigotry against ourselves... we are trying to bring the unconscious conscious." -Theo

11:30 - Discussion about Theo taking issues of black community and expanding out to others. He explains that after the civil rights movement, certain issues were still not being addressed. So he and his community are focusing on those issues. 13:05 - "When you begin to do the work you realize that there are all these threads that are tied to other things... and when you pluck that thread, it goes to this community and that community, and I actually don't have to leave the black community to affect these others with my work. To care only about our own is to deny the reality that we all share this planet... and in times of disaster, you will see quickly how much we need each other, regardless of what we look like."

10:42 - Discussion about food scarcity as an illusion and population issues.

10:20 "We have a culture based on competition, violence and a Zero Sum Game. You cannot dismantle any of the 'ism's' and get the buy-in from those who benefit from the 'ism's', before you make them realize that the Zero Sum Game is actually false, and show another way."

8:32 "We have out-engineered zero-sum games." -Theo "Life is not a zero-sum game... We don't have to have winners and losers." - Myrna

7:10 "Every time you hold down an entire group of people, you are just wasting human potential."

5:34 - The common thread in his work is dismantling structural violence and systems of privilege. Those who benefit do it only in the short-term... Systems of privilege are artificial paradises. (listen in!)

What a privilege to interview Theo Wilson, who's making a difference as an activist for humanity - starting with the black community, and extending out from there. You will NOT regret watching this interview!

Come together, Here comes the sun!

You’re very wise, young lady💯

Excellent

Superb! Quite a learning session! Keep up the good work. Proud of you, sis!

2:52:00

amazing

Thank you for this

You are so smart!

What a privilege to interview the great talent and enlightened Melissa Ivey! We dove into some deep intense topics and I'm sure you'll hear a unique perspective on healing - not only from trauma but from life experience. She's a joy and a role model for youth dealing with gender identity issues, the music scene, as well as drug and alcohol use. (Note that these interviews are recorded live, and most people watch and comment at that time on a different platform, so you may not see comments here.)

I enjoyed this interview so much with Lisa, and learned so much! Around 26:00 into it, I am making funny faces and talking while on mute -- to my son, who kept trying to talk to me during this interview while home for online school on a snow day! So I did that on purpose. And around 50:00, I mention him, and what a gift he is in my life. I also mentioned at 53:30 the documentary, The Wisdom of Trauma, by Dr. Gabor Mate, which is about having compassion for those who are traumatized. I highly recommend this movie and additional information they offer.

Thanks for the interview. We are nearing a time where we can benefit from conversation leading to local and community action steps.

I'm also from the Congo 🥰 yeeeesssss🇨🇩#Bantu 🔥

She's so beautiful
