TZM Global Radio

This weeks TZM global focusses on the topic of education and discusses the launch of a new movement wide initiative to take a sustainable train of thought to the next generation. The aim of the project is for every chapter of TZM to initially go to just one school or university to promote/discuss sustainable values and practices.

A number of weeks ago, The Zeitgeist Movement issued the following challenge; Falsify either one or more of the tenets of the Zeitgeist Movement and present them in a 1000 word essay or less. The responses have now been collated, and we have answered two. These can be found here:http://blog.thezeitgeistmovement.com/blog/matt-berkowitz/tzm-challenge-best-essays-and-responses. This week we interview Ryan. His case comes bolstered with the following references, including a link to his own work. Resilience and the Behavior of Large-Scale System" by Lance H. Gunderson Elements of Resistance" by Jeriah Bower "Concerning the Violent Peace Police" by David Graeber Introduction to Transferics" by Ryan Salisbury  

This week's show is a panel discussion on how we approach Communication Style as TZM advocates. This discussion examines the area of "how we present information" and why it's as important as "what we're saying" as a Movement. Hosted by Jason Lord, he is joined by long-time coordinators Jen Wilding, Reba Melfa and Eva Omori who take a look at what communication styles & approaches have been more effective when trying to communicate NL/RBE concepts to new people.

Welcome to the final installment in this 8 presentation series. The message of the Zeitgeist Movement is one of unity and collaboration amongst the people of earth via the methods of science applied to planetary management and human wellbeing holistically. This theme of unity forms the topic area of this final presentation, bringing forth an organization who were last to speak at London ZDAY 2013 called one people, one world. To find out more about these organizations proposals, as well as to help give a context to this presentation it is recommended to first watch Grant Dive’s presentation from ZDAY London 2013 by clicking on the following link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P4cQyL2Ps-Y *Please note that the zeitgeist movement holds no allegiance to, nor agrees with any of the featured organizations points of view featured in this presentation series explicitly. Rather the purpose here is to use these perspectives to help illuminate some of the possible methods to help facilitate and illuminate the need to shift our values and economic system into alignment with our most up to date understandings of the natural world via the methods of science, thus increasing our overall adaptability to the planet and hence our evolutionary fitness overall. 

Lecture 7: A festive lens for a sustainable future The seventh in this series of 8 presentations is not actually anything to do with a featured organisation at ZDAY London 2013, but was a talk given at an event with several other socially concerned groups in Portsmouth, England around Christmas time 2013. Therefore this presentation was given through the prism of this festival in particular as a lens through which to help illuminate the negative ramifications of our consumption driven culture as well as potentially helping to view the possible transition towards a natural law resource based economic model. The following documentary could be viewed prior to this talk, as it helps to outline some of the plight experienced by many as a result of this festival:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yF8jUDzz5bE *Please note that the zeitgeist movement holds no allegiance to, nor agrees with any of the featured organisations points of view featured in this presentation series explicitly.

Part six of this 8 series presentation regards the subject of the education system. The organization representing this issue at ZDAY London 2013 was ‘Change the future’. An online web platform looking to allow open access discourse and discussion to help to implement positive changes to the education system from the bottom up, rather than the top down. To find out more about this organization and to help give a context to this presentation it is recommended to watch their talk at ZDAY London 2013 by clicking on the following link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p9KIkCem3Yg

Lecture 5: A Matrix of Control The fifth instalment in the series brings us to the subject of the law. Representation on this topic at ZDAY London 2013 and at the subsequent joint event in London was by documentary film maker and lawful practioner Jon Webster, who has used some of the methods he discusses successfully in defending himself against unlawful claims.

Lecture 4: The Economics of Inequality The fourth presentation in this series was given after ZDAY London 2013 with an organisation featured on that day called The Equality Trust. The Zeitgeist Movement references thematerials of the Trust, and in particular the book the Spirit Level, when discussing the negative ramifications that wealth inequality has on human health and society in general. To find out more about the trust and the immediate proposals they suggest as well as helping to give context to this presentation it is recommended to watch Sean Baines presentation at ZDAY London by clicking on the following link:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p9KIkCem3Yg *Please note that the zeitgeist movement holds no allegiance to, nor agrees with any of the featured organisations points of view featured in this presentation series explicitly.

The third talk in this presentation series deals with the process of money creation and in particular the historyofmonetary creation, bringing forth the first organization to be represented at ZDAY London 2013; Positive money. Positive money are a monetary reform group who focus on the negative consequences of the mechanics entailed infractional reserve banking, as well as putting forward an immediate solution set that could start to address this issue.For more information on this group’s position and to helpgive some context to the following presentation pleasewatch Ben Dyson’s talk from ZDAY London 2013 by clicking on the link below: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H8b0gJcZHKw *Please note that the zeitgeist movement holds no allegiance to, nor agrees with any of the featuredorganizations points of view featured in this presentation series explicitly.

The second presentation in this series builds from the perspective of futurism and trans-humanism,  areas of thought that focus on the pitfalls and possibilities that the future exponential trend in technological development could have in store for humanity. This presentation therefore hones in on what this trend and the technological approach to problem solving in general could produce were it to be applied to our social system holistically.These perspectives were represented at ZDAY London 2013 by the London futurists and Humanity plus. To understand their perspective on these topics as well as helping to give a context to this presentation it is recommended to watch David Wood’s presentation at ZDAY London 2013 by clicking on the following link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uCQ0_ArKmx4 *Please note that the zeitgeist movement holds no allegiance to, nor agrees with any of the featured organizations points of view featured in this presentation series explicitly.

Ryan Johnson discusses research from a cognitive science lab about the ways in which people can be persuaded by rational arguments, despite our human ability to be stubbornly irrational.  By learning about more effective approaches to presenting rational arguments, we can strive to be better advocates for social change. Jim Phillips' lecture series returns next week with part 2 of his 8 lecture cycle.

The first presentation of this 8 lecture series brings forth a subject which perhaps warrants examination before allothers - This being Communication and language. As stated in the introduction to this series (See ZM Global Ep 149) the Zeitgeist movement is in a communicative phase, focusing primarily on a value shift. Until a critical mass occurs on this level, allowing for an economic model capable of delivering the liberal application of our current withheld capabilities in science and technology for human concern, we will unfortunately be engaging largely in patchwork. To help give this presentation context it would be advisable to view it after watching Darren De Witt’s presentationat ZDAY 2013 on Non-Violent communication, which you cando so by clicking on the following link:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=52EoZzfGV-o Please note that the movement holds no allegiance to, noragrees with any of the featured organization’s points of view featured in this presentation series explicitly.

Thus increasing our overalladaptability, and hence evolutionary fitness.
