In this diverse and innovative space, we facilitate a highly collaborative, open-minded conversation diving into the issues our society faces today, while being sure to bring corresponding resolution to the forefront . We’re here to address the problems whilst collaborating on visionary solutions, as our increasingly interdependent yet fractured global society struggles through intersecting crises in these unparalleled times of change. The monetary system is at the heart of our society. It touches everything in our lives, it dictates who lives and dies. We believe a bright future for humanity is one without currency. Society is collapsing before our eyes, and there has never been a more vital or exciting opportunity to both come together for the sake of forestalling the end of human life as we know it, while also recreating life on earth as we know it.

AI is Changing Consciousness (and Everything Else) with Simon Q (Pt 1)
Wednesday Aug 09, 2023
Wednesday Aug 09, 2023
AI may not have taken over the world yet, but it's taken over the news and our feeds, as its tendrils work their way into every aspect of life as we know it, multiplying risk and reward and driving us into a new future none of us can imagine. This is the first part of an epically wild and expansive series with the AI Wizard Simon, using AI to turn our world inside out. We explore what LLMs really are, what IS intelligence, use chat GPT to explore global problems, existential risk, and push this technology to mind expanding levels, writing poetry and even taking it on a psychedelic mushroom trip.

The Life Economy vs.The Death Economy with Economic Hitman John Perkins
Saturday Aug 05, 2023
Saturday Aug 05, 2023
MONEY has been the greatest weapon ever devised by humanity, the cause of more death than anything else. DEBT has been weaponized to conquer nations and bring peoples to their knees. Nobody understands this better than former ECONOMIC HITMAN John Perkins, who personally worked for the state and corporate establishment cajoling poor nations with resources coveted by western companies into accepting loans they could never repay, as a means to control their whole economy and make them subservient to the empire. We talk about his riveting history, how he came to a change of heart, and about the current global battle between the LIFE ECONOMY and the DEATH ECONOMY, and how we can work to build new systems and transitions to change the world.

The Past and Future of THE LEFT ft. 1Dime
Wednesday Aug 02, 2023
Wednesday Aug 02, 2023
THE RADICAL LEFT is the topic of this episode with the great Tony of the excellent youtube channel 1Dime. We have a wide ranging conversation about the history and future of the radical left--is there even a left, were experiments like the Soviet Union and communist China really communist, and what's next, how do we create a modern revolutionary movement that goes further than a movement that is largely stuck in the past, into the FUTURE.

THAR SHE BLOWS! The best news swimming around the internet is the apparent orca whale uprising sinking human ships as an act of ORCANIZED resistance to the industrial system that's destroying life as we know it. We're joined by radical wildlife biologist and climate activist, scientist rebel, antifa supersoldier Allan Chornak to dive deep into a profound conversation about what we are doing to the oceans to provoke such peaceful creatures to fight back. We talk about animal intelligence, ocean warming and the effects of climate change and human activity on the seas, biology and evolution, the history of whale oil and its connection to fossil fuels, seeing human history from the perspective of our more than human relations, ultimately asking huge questions about consciousness itself and cultivating a deeper natural intelligence and expanding our identification to the natural world that IS us.

The Economy Needs to Chill Out! With Timothee Parrique
Sunday Mar 19, 2023
Sunday Mar 19, 2023
Slow down or perish! This is easily my favorite episode of our show this season, a phenomenally in-depth talk with the great ecological economist Timothee Parrique about degrowth, we dove deep into the mechanics of decommodification, the value of a cat under capitalism, how green growth and jobs growth and all this crap is really an unecessary, upside down addiction, and how we can slow down our own lives.
This is the kind of high level brain tingling dialogue I live for, about a super important, controversial topic that gets more fun to imagine the more I listen to people like Tim explore it!

The Psychedelic Revolution with Decriminalize Nature (Part 2)
Saturday Mar 11, 2023
Saturday Mar 11, 2023
We're joined once again by Carlos Plaloza and Larry Norris, co-founders of Decriminalize Nature, to discuss reclaiming the human history of plant medicine. On this mind-opening journey we dive into the ways that psychedelics have shaped human culture over hundreds of thousands of years, how they release you from your cultural assumptions, and why authorities have worked so hard to suppress and control them in "civilized" society. Watch along and learn here with us, face-to-face -- or listen to Moneyless Society on Spotify next time you're cruising the highway! And if you want to join a community that's legitimately trying to show that a better world is possible, find us on social media, reach out, be welcomed. Together is the only way forward.

Capitalism Makes us Sick, Community is the Cure with Ayesha Khan
Saturday Feb 25, 2023
Saturday Feb 25, 2023
CAPITALISM IS THE VIRUS! This amped up dialogue with the one and only Ayesha Khan @WOKESCIENTIST dissects the total lack of health in capitalist society, bringing mental, physical, community and ecological health together to truly address the root cause of our social illness. We dip into covid conspiracies, talk about the ways mind and body are one, how we never had health to begin with, how the colonial system homogenized medicine globally, and the many ways that community and ecological relationships are the solution: the answers lie in peoples across the world reconnecting with their local and traditional lifeways and in creating true solidarity between peoples opposing the systems that keep them sick to sell them medicine in an endless feedback loop.
