They brainstorm solutions, proposing the idea of a "human industrial complex", and discuss steps to a more equitable, opportunity-driven future. Get ready for systems thinking, socioeconomics, and the intersection of technology and society.

Human Industrial Complex
In this episode of Positively Pedestrian, we discuss the idea of building a grassroots movement where people join forces and work toward collectively improving their health and wellness by supporting and caring for one another. The trend here in the United States is socialism for the wealthy and dog eat dog free-market capitalism for everyone else. The reason we don't have universal healthcare in America is if we were to flip the switch and suddenly tens of millions of poor and extremely unhealthy patients entered the system, the healthcare system would be overwhelmed, and the truth of the horrific general health of the American public would be revealed. We'd have to cut military spending and corporate welfare to afford it. We discuss how this type of change may come about.

Round House Kicks, Tattoos & Mayan Temples
In this episode of Positively Pedestrian, we discuss how technology can extend imagination in a particular domain, but also might stifle the imagination in the macro. We analyze American rightness through might and its various industrial complexes. There is a brief discussion about dominance and submission at different levels of human social structures, and we share a couple of personal stories and even a bad joke - sorry in advance!
