Clearing the Great Filter & Dethroning Kleptocrats
In this episode of Positively Pedestrian our guest is Sam Stanton. We discuss how humanity may willfully avoid omnicide and prevent our own extinction as a species. It would appear the most probably method humanity goes extinct is through our own action. Continued weaponization of technology as technology rapidly expands may be the highway to hell and may be Great Filter that perhaps all advanced civilizations face. Self-destruction or even technological transformation may be unavoidable and a natural progression of technological sophistication. Lastly, we talk about how politics will inevitably matter, and maybe it is high time we find a way to change our politics and our culture.

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.
