Nick Duffell discusses his book Wounded Leaders: British Elitism and the Entitlement Illusion. In an age when America elected its first black president and the Middle East stirred with popular uprising, Britons were again content to elect the products of their elitist Public Schools. But, their grooming for power aside, does such an education produce excellence – or expertise in self-deception and duplicity? The early 21st Century gives us some clues. Tony Blair maintained his façade of inner conviction but lost the nation through blind allegiance to the Establishment. David Cameron let his boyish mask of caring sincerity slip to reveal a bully’s attitude beneath his meritocratic pretence. A bicycle in Downing Street highlighted a deep-seated problem in Britain: a divided society caught in the enduring trance of the Entitlement Illusion. Duffell argues that the British national obsession with sending the children of the well-heeled away to school has a major impact on our society, our institutions and our attitudes. He proposes that a cherished national character ideal, eschewing vulnerability and practising a normalised covert hostility based on bullying in the dorm adversely affects even those who did not have such an education. This specific culture of elitism, protected by financial interests and the “It never did me any harm” syndrome, means that Britain is unlikely to foster the kind of leadership necessary in our world of increasing complexity, which needs cooperative global solutions. But worse, new scientific evidence shows that this hyper-rational training leaves its devotees trapped within the confines of an inflexible mind, beset with functional defects. Through the lens of the British case, Duffell presents a perspective on the universal defects of untempered rationality and proposes a revised model of leadership more fit for the uncertain future our world faces. http://woundedleaders.co.uk/ http://www.boardingschoolsurvivors.co.uk/ Many more interviews at http://www.legalise-freedom.com If you find this content interesting, please consider supporting my work with a donation http://legalise-freedom.com/make-a-donation/ ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D1rrTCZXZhw

James Howard Kunstler discusses some of the issues raised in his books The Long Emergency (2005) and Too Much Magic (2013), examining how the global crises in energy, the economy and the environment have unfolded in the interim. The last two hundred years have seen the greatest explosion of progress and wealth in the history of mankind, but the age of oil that fuelled this expansion is rapidly coming to an end. The depletion of fossil fuels is about to transform life as we know it, and do so much sooner than we think. Kunstler explains what to expect after we pass the tipping point of peak oil production, setting out to prepare us for economic, political, and social changes on an unimaginable scale. http://kunstler.com/ Many more interviews at http://www.legalise-freedom.com If you find this content interesting, please consider supporting my work with a donation http://legalise-freedom.com/make-a-donation/ ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nqcxnOema_o

Thomas Sheridan and Jason Robba discuss their documentary 'Liber Velocity - The Apotheosis of Jack Whiteside Parsons'. Born in 1914, Jack Parsons was an American rocket engineer, chemist, and occultist. Associated with the California Institute of Technology (aka Caltech), Parsons was one of the principal founders of both the Jet Propulsion Laboratory and the Aerojet Engineering Corporation. His professional career also overlapped with a decidedly unorthodox and at times controversial personal life in which the borders between science fiction, rocket science, and the occult blurred, and which involved associations with characters such as notorious occultist Aleister Crowley, Nazi rocket engineer Wernher von Braun, and Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard. Parsons died in mysterious circumstances aged just 37 and the question still remains: Was his death an accident, or murder? http://www.mossuponstones.com/ Many more interviews at http://www.legalise-freedom.com If you find this content interesting, please consider subscribing to Legalise Freedom here: https://legalise-freedom.com/register/annual-membership/ Or make a donation here: http://legalise-freedom.com/make-a-donation/ FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/LegaliseFreedom TWITTER: https://twitter.com/LegaliseFreedom Bumper music: Cliff Martinez 'Traffic OST' Jason Robba ‘Liber Velocity OST’ ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZEh56gqGyIQ
