"And really, that could be his whole spiritual past. Yeah. I think. And self development path. How can I practice listening and speaking for connection and understanding? What are the other goals that people have for listening and speaking, other than to practice for understanding and connection is to invite inquiry? Well, what are the, what else are we trying to do with some of our communications? Are we trying to understand or are we trying to experience power over in some way? I'd be right. Be right. Come across this right, but again, even more so now the systemic collective piece. All of this is happening within a broader environment. It's not just the interpersonal dynamics, which are so important in which we recognize and we take agency for, yes, and we live in a world. You know, people are making money, making aggrandizing and developing and building up power. Through the manipulations of our emotions, our communities, frankly, so in other words, we're up against a lot right now when it comes to this. Being willing to see more clearly. More of what we're up against. That is, isn't just, I'm not skillful or I'm not being the best person. It is that. It is part of, you know, it's partly like, can I be more skillful? Can I listen a little bit more with a little less judgment? Like a little less judgment and put myself in the shoes the other a little bit more. But it is also, you know, recognizing that we, on the one hand, have these beautiful, lovely devices around us that have enabled so much, including us connecting and sharing more richly in the world during these pandemic times. Beautiful. Absolutely. Where would I be without these devices? And the way they have been developed and promulgated, we all now know, churns, division. Has a profit model. The narrowing of minds and the kind of reinforcing of, you know, those things that trigger intense emotion, including fear, anxiety, that lead to this othering. So there is, you know, so this is where that strong back that sort of, you know, how do we act and wise relationship, not only to how our own personal conditionings, our upbringings, right? The things we learned, the things we haven't prefigure us to be open or not to what we are hearing from another person, that's really important. And that's, you know, we have some control over that. We must make the most of that. And I think how we relate to technology and media and the different ways that that organized efforts are a rape at kind of keeping us diluted and keeping us at loggerheads and at pointed spears at each other. I mean, this is not just happening, it's not just natural. So how are we and wise relationship with the whole array from my personal what's happening into personally, how and where we meet, the structures for that, because all of those things are part of the, I would say the ecology for justice and for connection that we work with. So bringing awareness to every dimension, the personal, the interpersonal, the sort of social, where we meet and how, who's in charge and right? How we set up the rooms, all of these things matter, but also this really hard. First world high level edgy problem of existential crisis of how we relate with technology more wise. Yes. All of that has to be brought into our conversation. And I think we can though with compassion. Yeah, I'm really glad you brought that up. And I would yes and this. And say that I see the media. Mainstream media is a big problem with this with the silos of the very CNN Fox News, for instance. You couldn't talk about two completely different worlds with two completely different worldviews about humanity. We need a different I want to opt out of all of that and have a oneness news channel or something that takes into account the principles you put forward in your liberation liberating. Sorry, liberating chapter. Things like expanding the circle of compassion, deepening healing for ourselves, contemplating all humanity as one family, deepening the path of wisdom. Where's that in the news cycle? Exactly. Where's the PR campaign for all of that stuff? It is seriously. There's no money in it. Is it all about money? Is that what it is? There's no money and power over. As opposed to power with. With that money it's equally as much money and power with. How do we have that world? Well, there is at least some and I think that's part of that that is a part of the reality. We are finding ways to amplify more of the good. But it is true. I mean, some of it isn't salable. And some of it will never be. You know, something that we can profiteer off of. And shouldn't be. Frankly, and this is radically counterculture for me to talk about things we should be engaged in that will never make us money and shouldn't be about making us money. That's not the problem. But I think that's yeah, you know, again, this is where, again, my heart, I have to put a handle with a heart because I'll do it too. We are. Yeah, you know, it's painful..

"That's where you come in. And that is exactly what I mean. Right, where we come in, I think those of us who somehow are, I don't even know how we get here, I don't know, but we're certainly drawn to question how we can do things differently. And to me, you know, just growing up, it was just so clear that there was so much unnecessary pain and division, and missed opportunity for joy. And just like, really feeling the miracle of what it means to be alive. That's coming through all of this sort of acculturation to meet us versus them. Me versus you, and then us versus them, and then fear in the machinations around how I can have enough. Even as a very little girl, these questions about who we are fundamentally as human beings, the sense that we were all one human family, which is something I think my grandmother sort of conveyed interpretation. Everything I've heard today. I like your grandma. Exactly. We need a grandma like those. But there's always a yeah, I mean, we lived in a very segregated neighborhood where I grew up and was like, all black folks, a couple of white men who ran some stores that we would go to, right? Some of the grocer, but otherwise, you know, the original neighborhood that I grew up in. And my kindergarten completely all black. And yet there was this sort of teaching that actually we're all guys children. We're all really one family, you know, that's forgotten who we are. And that was something that resonated with me in it. It never felt like it was just a teaching. It never felt like it was some story, like a metaphor. It always felt like, well, of course, you know. And you could just tell, we're also similar in every kind of way. And yet we're so deeply trained for division. And so I think because of my own being drawn to that question, how can we both try and minimize the harm that comes from the legacies we've all grown up in with how can we minimize work for justice in other words? But at the same time, keep our hearts open to these mini missed opportunities for connection. Keep our hearts open to what you and your writing, I think, call the sort of existential kind of gratefulness to be existential gratitude. Right. Right. How can we keep that? Yes. Which, you know, again, to me, always seemed like an innate, like, of course. How can we keep those how can we do both those things at once? That's the kind of a core cologne, if you will, that I feel like my particular embodiment as a black racialized as I call it, because on the one hand, I accept these identity terms and talk about them and in some ways, you know, brow, but on the other hand, at the same time, know that these are just illusory ways we have of defining ourselves and others and as much as we can keep clear. That to use those terms is not to reduce our entire sense of ourselves to those terms. It can help us with this sort of perspective that I think is what's called for if we ever are going to find a way to not keep recreating the same pain and hierarchy and work up justice every single generation. Yeah. Yeah, there are blue cherry ways of dividing there definitely ways of dividing people have made those choices intentionally to use that as one of the main dividing ways as opposed to the million other things about a human or individual that we could focus on so much of the beauty of the complexity of being human is just reduced to that one thing. And so yeah, I hear you. Reading so much of your work. I mean, we could talk all day, right? I mean, there's so much to cover. You've had this whole 5 part grounding. I can go through the whole thing, grounding. Let me just read them so it's on the record. Can I do that at least? Because there's so much I want our wisdom to hear about your work. But so you have the kind of stages of the inner work process with mindfulness with grounding as part one part two is seeing part three is being. That's my favorite from my lab. You can pick a favorite. And I resonate most because of my own work. I really love them being doing. And the existential awareness, all that stuff. I love that as my jam. Yes. For us doing. I was like, I don't know about that part. And yet here you are doing in your own way. And I'm doing it. I'm doing it. Exactly. Totally. And then part 5, although this part 5 actually might be my favorite. Liberating liberating. Exactly. Can we jump? Can we just jump right to the liberating because we don't have like 5 hours to go through all of this? And I do bring these up because I want our listeners to at least get it on the record for them here and then for them to want to go and read more of your work for sure. I really recommend people that. But in the interest of time, can you kind of tell us, does it take to get to that point of liberation? And how do you define liberation? Through the centuries, through the course of human history, people of different thoughts and philosophies and what it means to be truly free and liberated. I'd love to hear some of your thoughts on that. Well, thank you so much. And we absolutely can jump. Because even though I have articulated this sort of 5 part approach and of course by nature of a book, you started at the beginning, you end to me in common with people like, you know, the venerable tick not Han, who passed recently. May he rest in peace. Then he rest in peace. May he rest on liberation. Yeah, he rests in liberation and these teachings continue as he taught so often, right? They are here, right? In a certain sense, he's not resting. Right here. That's true. But this idea of intervening. Each of those for now say aspects of the inner work that I described in the book. Certainly, each in beds all the others. And so yes, of course, we can start liberation to start with any of them. And see different aspects of the others within them. And certainly for me, I could well start any in a certain sense. Do begin my own work at this point from this place of, let's say, liberation from some of the ways I have been taught to think of my own self, you see me already kind of drawing in this sort of a physicist sort of self contained atomized. I'm totally separate from you. We can't, you know, we got to struggle to understand each other. Yeah, with borders. So to me, it's about that heart's beyond, right? And to me, liberation has really, as you alluded to, so many different dimensions. But in this book, I am talking about a kind of spiritual, if you will, you know, a kind of way of being in relationship to reality. That is more and more kind of open to noticing when we're getting caught in ways of limitation in separation, in division, in reduction. It's really about the way that the practices of mindfulness or just, if you will, kind of, whatever the term is, any one of us may have or how it is that we work to disrupt our own delusions about who we are and how things are..

"Taught available, these were things that I had to find on my own. So for me, racism then showed up in those much more subtle ways of what was available. What I was able to learn, what I was able to study in what I wasn't. And by whom, you know, with him, what kinds of teachers. And what kinds of experience experiences did they bring? But with all of that said, you know, I can think of. And I want to say this explicitly. I nevertheless, the teachers, the white body teachers who were there, most of whom in my experience were at least making an effort, you know, to do what they came to do, which is to help identify and move through or support students with some potential in the conventional sense. And so I can certainly think of and have in my Pantheon of teachers that I really appreciate a lot of white teachers. Who were, I can think of a couple in particular who were very, very instrumental in terms of their manifestation of, let's say, some sort of a racial equity commitment, such that whatever they may have been raised with, because again, these were people who were disproportionately raised in the south and with racist ideology and teachings having formed them. Many of them, you know, nevertheless were some of my mentors and help identify opportunities for me and so on and so forth. So I think it's not and then when we go into university, it was, I would say I saw more explicit examples of racism impacting me. For example, just in my first year at the University of Virginia, lovely school. But having examples of things like instructors, not having a negative reaction to me wanting to write about, for example, I had a paper topic that I proposed comparing an analysis of segregation in the Southern United States with apartheid in South Africa. Today, I don't think people would think of that as like a shocking proposed experiment or intellectual inquiry. But the particular teacher that I had of teaching assistant that I had was just aghast, how could they even be considered even remotely similar? Again, a white bodied male teacher who was just coming from a perspective where something that was normalized in the U.S. as part of our culture could not possibly be, you know, this was in the 80s when we were in that anti apartheid struggle. It was quite seeing seeing apartheid as a certain kind of evil that we needed to all, many of us who were at all progressive were thinking. We must, that's an evil, but on the other hand, southern segregation. Well, there's so many justifications. Yeah. So that's an example. Being sort of having my own education in my intellectual interest sort of filters through that lens of a kind of orientation toward whiteness that I think is a legacy of our racism and our white supremacy. So those are the more subtle ways. It wasn't until I came to California actually and heard the N word hurl that me for the first time. Well, no, that's maybe once before that when I was in Richmond, Virginia, but San Francisco Richmond, Virginia. So when it comes to those experiences whereby personal racism in the form of the epithets and the kinds of physical threat, this can happen in Richmond, Virginia, or Hampton, Virginia, as well as half moon base, California, or San Francisco. This is American culture. Yeah, thank you for all those differentiations and for telling that story. I actually do see value in differentiating between personal racism and systemic racism and acknowledging that both exist in lots of complex ways. So I really appreciate you telling that story. Hey everyone, I'm excited to announce that the 8 week online transcend course is back..

"Today i am your conductor. Laura mcgee from skeptic. Hang out. And i have with me today to incredibly awesome guests. I'm so let's start with road. Tell me a little about yourself laura. Thank you so much for having me. I am the washington dc area. I am a artist writer. musician and i'm the director of black numbers of dc. I some that is really cool and you actually one of the articles that we are going to be reading today. So thank you for that. Yeah we'll we'll get to that one and just a little bit sue. Yeah nate tell me a little about yourself as well. Hey laura. I am a host of secular sexuality on thursdays at seven o'clock central tune invokes and this is now my third time count one two three times on the nonprofits twice in a row. So i'm calling out a win and afghanistan first time being on the show with laura ambro. So i'm so excited red-letter day for me. This is amazing. You know what's really cool about the three of us as we all do. Such different stuff in different content but We all have something really unique. An awesome to offer to the The atheist activists seen so. This is really exciting. I can't wait to see how our voices all kind of intermix today So with that being said let's just get straight into the first article nate. Why don't you go ahead and give us a rundown yes. I would absolutely love to because the catholic church just seems to have no shortage of bad. Press these days a this. This article comes to us from the christian post and basically is detailing the predicament of one. Lynn starkey who sued the roman catholic archdiocese of indianapolis for guess. What firing her. Because they found out she was gay and more specific as she was married to another woman. Well that's now that's going to be there. Cop-out right is that no no. It wasn't because she's because she's gay. It's because she's in a same sex marriage was dressed. Yeah yes we don't we don't hate gay people know. We love the sinner. We take the sin that's against our policy rame Absolutely makes sense woman. Who's worked there since nineteen seventy nine. Oh my gosh. i didn't bet up. Wrote born in seventy eight was born in many many years. You are old. Yeah that's ridiculous. Yeah and then all of a sudden find out that she is in a same sex relationship and none of that makes everything worse that i don't. I don't know why i miss that. In in my skimming the article. Because i thought that she was some twenty eight year old teacher you know she's kind of like popped into town and got a teaching job and no she's been there like our entire lives. She's a part of the church community. She has served. she has taught. She has contributed. She has value until she was married. So it's interesting that you say that because on the one hand i absolutely think it wouldn't make a difference whether you've worked there like one day or what you work for a decade or two decades to That sort of treatment isn't okay but on the same hand like what you were saying They talk in the article about all this stuff that she contributed In in terms of the her guidance counseling and and her her contributions to the the issue on the children and to the congregation right all of her volunteer work so she was a very active contributing member to this organization. That's battle yeah that to me. really struck me as it's almost. It's not good either way but it's almost like adding insult to injury or just pouring lemon juice on the wound. I think that's a betrayal. I i do. You wanna go first. Because i had kind of put some thoughts together. So you know. I don't want to step on anyone's toes..

"Twenty sixteen were may. I'm going to half a mile from each other and that was a very deliberate placement to assaulted in the book. There because the whole thing for me was jarman. As much as creatively and as much as my experience was changing in my skill sets were however. I'm not sure what right before the future of the last picture because for me would stand up and i think that's very important that you're not necessarily getting better project changing so i worked now from i think about the i think my works a little bit different as amateur amazon different But i think the bottom line was that i. I realized that it wasn't about plays and this was going back some earlier. Documenting that you can go somewhere. There's a chapter in my next roku. Actually which fighting is interesting. And it's in china. And i went to china twenty fifteen specifically to spend a month there to do about of work or to create a body of what i'd never been there and i specifically wants to create a body of work. I'll be honest and say i wasn't entirely sure what it was going to be now. I actually written day last week. So it's fresh in my mind. But i had intended did go to yellow mountain. I thought okay. I'm gonna go amounts because i'd seen images of. I think this happens a lot and i think now know that we're in the age of instant brown an- and seen more other people's are more if you can't help but be insolence by by Working that's common again for. All artists introspective of what. We're kind of the opinion that you're better off. Not seeing on the peoples have come to that conclusion that actually work in isolation and develop your own way is possibly a stronger way of working but getting back to what i was saying is i ended up on the l. amount and i find it is sixty thousand steps but i climbed the thousand steps. I had the guy had the whole thing. Play spend four months on top of the mountain. And i can honestly say the and never came out of the by because i kind of felt. This isn't for me to be doing. I'm actually from here. I i don't really want to deck document and it was so strange. So i didn't. I had a really enjoyable time. But i didn't make a single pitch and funnily enough. I came upon a bamboo farce by chance as as a through china with with my with guy and ended up in a week there and the only pictures appear in. My new book are in the bamboo. Ford's but the reason being. I spent a couple of hours wandering around it. And i just i was just fascinated by it just it just. It sounds a bit corny. But it's to me is the point and i think you know going back to again what we said earlier. I just don't think you could over force something you wanted to have the best intentions or you might have something in your head. You want to create what i think if you if you keep it fluid if you're prepared to stop an photograph the storms as against go to the beach. You know as we said that that i'm doing it is actually let me see that astronaut. walk up in long island in there. But there's no reason for the mall and actually i'm. I'm writing the reason for the wall. Currently it's not that i just went to document. There was a reason for being there and there's emotion involved. I'm pretty happy with very cool. I've got just two more questions one. I i wanna put some of your words back at you hear and see see what else you're thinking here you say. And this is a quote. My aim is to provide an antidote to the world. We now inhabited world of excess over branding and mass production. My intention is to offer the viewer. Point in time to reflect and be drawn into a world of oneness contemplation and tranquility. What would be listen. Birtles worth many many times. I will be talking a couple of words. So i think as as you get older also simpler things become more important. I'm nearly sixty now. Unbeaten through a world of spending a long time in london. Probably yourself were we all get involved in it. The browns become important. The new cobb comes in fourth stuff becomes important. You know listen. i mean. Those words probably couldn't be more relevant than they are now in this world record Giving a world at rebelling nature has actually said. I've had enough income to cope. Huge huge feeling about is if somebody in my pictures resumes with nature could resonate with the fact that i'm trying to just walk into nature. Unnatural elements of my interest isn't in human creations. Interest in indifference occur world of humans. It's it's it's it's much more waitress place on how we should stop trying overrun. And so i tried to create images and that's why i'm trying to create images of people get something from you know stating that. An image should kind of be three things. You should be when i say it is now. I traveled a piece of art. That i might buy or otherwise but it should be probably first and foremost for me. Needs to be emotional. It needs to be original otherwise there was quite an edit needs to have longevity so emotional. I want to walk past a piece for the owner. Somebody else's won't hang on. I need to look at this. Get this loud or something. You may not know what's in there and then over above that originality of it obviously speaks for itself but then on top of that want to be able to look at that much just once have on my wall kind of every time i pass it potentially get something from it so with wire work in trying to knock into the natural world. She's very much wind trying to do. That's why i do want it to be an antidote to a world. We now living which hopefully we'll get accurate census at some point Priorities in place. It's kind of so it is slow and that's a very high standard last question. I'm looking at all your images here and this is the impossible question. Did tell me a war story. Tell me the story of a picture that either you know came together in the most remarkable way or there's something going on that we don't see or in the story of a picture that completely fell apart but pick one image any image tell me a story untold okay. Anybody simple sorry i mean. It's quite funny because a lot of these pictures look like they were photographing created somewhere. Incredibly isolated boy fecal very calm for tranquil. There's a picture in here in the first book. And it's it's made in a place called kill britain in and it's in black and white. It's an old jetty. called it. The jetty all jesse. And i know this because i used to fish there with that when i was very young. It's a lot of you. Know what known. Jesse bitcoin sunday over the war friends. I'm looking at the image right now. Yeah it's it's in the book. So i i wanted to do something. Really nice for the work out we. He was gone beyond fishing. Points and stuff investing tomorrow. We'll do we're going to go to the jetty.

"There. I'm like don't worry it's going to be beautiful. I always use the term. It's cooking. I'm which is a throwback to this throwback to when i used to put polaroid's under my armpit to warm them so that they could all my so i feel for doing that. Don't worry it's cooking. Get there in the yet there. it's not long. It's not all long exposure. I suppose i did i did. I did a lot of a period of time and mix and match and also more now than i have done. Sometimes it's purely about me seeing something that maybe others don't see from just cropping or creative use of camera. The second part of your question was resilient the post production and i use all more. I won't say none but all nobles production you have to use some. I made the leap buffets from analog to digital reluctantly. I'll be honest for many years. I photographed using a mea six seven camera and was incredibly happy with my working methodology. I did. I did what many others day diet. I forgot one had polaroid film in one. Back what i liked about that was discipline of having to make decisions so you specifically chose the field time knowing that you would make specific type of on this specific type of paper. And what i still do is try and work in that fashion so i still try and see as it were one in going to end up with a picture and i don't like extensive use photoshop. I think for me. don't get me wrong. Criticizing how others with work until what from right right by a these guys today would have called straight straight photography. I i suppose it back to the way i did. It just wouldn't feel right. So i now use a hassle black camera and it's my second hustle bad camera i can honestly say i wasn't happy with the first one. I didn't like it. I found over over complicated and the one on new year's down feels much more like my film camera. I use it as something that goes on the back of the lens. I use to benzes white. Don't ask me the numbers on this thing. That goes on know the technology aspect of the whole saying the extensive. No at least very cold. I'm afraid it's it's not that i loved it. I think we should all start to the camera. Bodies that thing on the back of the lens hard drive. And that's you need to do. I just needed. I needed to capture as i would have done. So it's funny. Because before i converted to digital toll. I went through a period of time where i was black and white pictures but i was creating them photographing them on color. Transparency film because it was fifty. Asean i could get really really. Really really sean. But without too much. Grand scanning. And then i would use that as my two black and white negative. So you know. It wasn't dangerous wasn't analog. He was trying to just combining bowls. So when i eventually made the leap of faith to digital. I'm demand that. I didn't want to change the railway. The most positive thing that it did was there were occasions and there still are on. Be honest that you would have the intention of maybe making a black and white image of something but because it's literally you capture the five as a color funnel gives you options when you go back and you sit down and it might be three months later. You've got to work on it and produce actually blue sky work in there some things so it does it open options. But we're being really honest. I would say that the thing that i like the most about working in the digital world is being able to archive patriots without having boxes and boxes and boxes. No you're just gonna have stacks of of external drive sitting on your shelves now. I'm looking at sixty orange. Fox's here looking. And i'm so that's not just guys got on. It says there's really no. I haven't changed my methodology. I don't really want to change methodology. What i wanted to do when i moved from analog to digital were able to the stage where as i had done previously. When you're in the landscape a new ground come really hammered together in cetera et cetera. Just becomes an automatic thing. You don't get involved in the technical side of the camera. it's just a tool at those job very much. see it as a painter. Would his pants his his pallet More than very cool a couple more questions here. This one could be you know either. Really simple or or impossible to answer but it has to do with the nature of experience when you are a photographer. You you've taken a lotta pictures of the landscape where you have grown up you know that as a six year old as well as a forty six year old all those nuances come along you also like so many of you. Learn your gear after a while. And you know you're you're looking at something and in the back of your head you know what your lenses gonna. Do you know what light rooms going to do as you tell the other people it's cooking because you've got that thing out there in your life particularly how important has experienced been to achieving the success. You've had put that with this other stuff. I'm seeing on your website where you've got japan. You've got china got long island. You've got sri lanka. I mean you've got a lot of places in here where i'm going to assume you've not spent twenty years. Tell me about being an an an informed photographer. An easier i think are the different types of images and so when i started a used a used photography symbols almost as an excuse to travel. Because i was.

And actually as much as i was kind of holding might white crossed. I thought i may also be holding the soviet monster man taking time to donald Earlier that i didn't need to travel to create the type of work actually really stimulates so the funny thing is in the retrospective outside that you mentioned the book the very very last pitcher in that book.

"Thinking of doing a book process but it's a normal process of its its challenging to say the least and total very personal. So it's a very good idea to have external people look at it analyze it criticizes before you actually hit two beakers the reality with a book as against hanging a picture on wall once it's published is there for all to see to admire to adore unto criticize as they wish show. It's important that you get it. It's four years of there. I think now. I'm working on a follow up to it. Which is very creatively called on site. Do that is going to be. Is that an outside to covers listening. Worked for the last. I i it is strange. Said scott i do is a retrospective for twenty five years. It's quite funny. I give talks of jetted about this point often and it is quite funny but but it was it. It represents period of time in most department point about doing the book loans. Once i did the book i decided i was going to get out the pictures pictures in other words to exhibit the pictures. I'm credibly made cantonist for me. And i suppose realization that even though i had amassed this archive of over the best part of thirty years that it would be very interesting for me more than anything else to the book outside the pictures to exhibit the pages and to actually get feedback on the pictures and another huge thing. I think for this. And it's something. That's a little bit daunting. It's a little bit scary. What i think it's it's the part of the process you you say. There's an outside to coming along but there's a book in between there. You have the ancient trees at buckland house you. Yes so you were commissioned to do this one. Tell me this beautiful. The book again elegantly produced in terms of book arts the physical book itself but going through the images that are available here. I'm impressed so at tell me where this one came from strange when actually scott and it was somebody who had seen my outside book for a very wealthy individual he he owned the longer station John and he was initially to commission photographs of his extensive trees that he has growing this incredible estate very very very audrey new food trays and the original sort of commissioners were going to be a series of pictures then sold a book then ninety kind of persuaded the actually book here because he just seems to me to almost make soup made more sense to do a book and i think that ties back into what i was saying earlier that it's not just the book for me. It's a piece of work. It's a piece of art in itself under much something that i feel very passionate about trump cabinet. I won't be should be doing. I really love the idea that will happen so i i spent a lot of the say. I made a decision very early on that. I would want to photograph uncreative purity black and white. It just felt right. The book was never seen by the client until it was actually produce. That was been. I must admit but yet but yeah no it. I never doubted Process it just came together. The state had has an incredibly to me. Unique personality and real challenge was to get you know we or trees have this haunting kind of. There's a noise that happens with them in their their smells. That happened with when you spend time. Among the they become almost people. You know what i mean of zone with trees and i spent days unmanaged In in that forest. In the place. For these i just saw it felt right so so yeah so we persevere produced percents supplying by success. That's that's fantastic. So many questions. I i still wanna ask here. Let's go back to aesthetics and an art a little bit you tend to do long exposure stuff but not the cliches sort of super glass out. Waterfall and seascape and stuff did there. There's a kind of middle ground to yours where your parts of the images are as sharp as any photographer would ever want to dream. And then you've got the long exposure stuff going on here to tell me how you hit upon the style and how much of this is hours at the computer screen versus sitting on the beach. I didn't even realize that on the side is the first honest answer. Yeah on thinking specifically awarded. You haven't seen on the website you haven't see maybe because it's the book that's about criminal. Here's i've only very recently being during the extensive et cetera et cetera. When i did do that. I focused on what. You've just said that. What i intend to do i noticed. Is i anchor. The picture when anchor the picture. So let's say i'm looking you just now that has some rocks Going sky got into the horizon and stuff and it has a relatively long exposure. But it doesn't have the last out but what it does do is. It has an area of an incredible detail which to me anchors the picture and to them contrast with move and and if you have too long an exposure as you know you actually does the movement so you lose the energy and i think when you're in the landscape. It's nice to be able to see what others don't see in other words and it's happened many many times that i'm standing there hood over my head in creating page of someone knocks on your shoulder and they saint name photographing.

So the stones become the focus on just doesn't exhaust but yeah i think the fluid is is very important. Let's take a quick break. We hope very much that you were enjoying today's episode. The very fact that you are listening to this podcast suggests that photography means a lot to you. And if that's the case you might want to have a look at frames quarterly printed photography magazine. We truly believe that in photography the on paper visit read frames dot com to find out more about our publication and now back to today's conversation. I want to switch gears a little bit. Now because you have a book your first book that is astounding. Book called outside. I have never ever seen anybody else. Say my first book is a twenty five year retrospective. I'm amazed by this so tell tell me tell everyone. What's the story behind this book because it's not only. It's not your standard photo book. This is a really high end. Physical book art production as well as a collection of outstanding images. So tell me the story of outside each story. You hit the nail on the head by saying it's not a standard book scott because was never intended to be astounded. I'm lucky enough to know a geico. Fenton smith who has company. I've worked with for many many many years exceptionally high-quality print and he established a publishing company called concentric conditions with the intention of producing work that was specifically aimed at contemporary artists photographers. With more of name that the books of songs became a working themselves in essence. So against just being a castelo of your work. I mean if you think about it any particular image that i would create the amount of time effort energy thole going to produce and create the image. I when you think about how. You're going to bring this back on a lot of photographic books on final folks i pages or otherwise and the books are they produced a newborn just capital which is fine but for me what they tend to lack or to miss is the character of the artists themselves and concentric conditions approached me to produce a book. I know the longtime they liked my work. And i got once again. A blank canvas to work with as production handley. I sat down with then which is also nice because it's more of a collaborative way of working role than than normal publisher. That doesn't get involved so they very much work on the basis. That we we sit down about now. We come up with a solution and it ends up being more of an artist book when produce jordan incredibly high standard so the focus for me was never going to be on selling the book because actually for me. It's like a work. So if i have copies of that book in fifty years time for me. Well he's probably pushing it up now. Fifty seven but in the future for the quality was the most important part of the reason. Going on commute made no sense undersecretary quality to describe it for people that are not yet on the website. It's fine paper that the images are well-designed on the page. The whole book itself is in a i. Don't want say a slip cover. It's in a box. It's an it's in a museum quality box. The designers of the physical book did a did an absolute extraordinary job. The images that are in there. Tell me about those. Because i want to get back to to sort of the you know the pain relief but here you've got a bunch of your rocks and seascapes so tell me how you decided what was going to be in there. That wasn't easy. I can tell you that. So okay. So i basically agreed that we would do the work. We do the book. And i have to do the face a blank sheet of paper up. And what's the book going to be so it didn't take too long for me once Are images out kicked him about an strengthening the whole process through the that relative chronological approach to misery. Wanna have been doing for twenty seven years probably makes sense so why actually gingras was divided the book into eight chapters immediately before i got into detail of the designer the lovely japanese papers or any of that stuff but the idea that i would literally start the book with just black and white images which will produce between nine ninety two thousand nine hundred ninety five or memory and then follow those chronologically with with bodies of were the chapters. Were really about places they were about a lot of work. That would happened over five or six years and for me. It was a wonderful experience. Because i admit that i had to analyze the work that i had been doing over that period of time. And i actually think that's probably one of the best facets of doing a book for any artist because you see you see your work as a collection and even though you may have pieces to us stand out when you sit down analyze criticize the word from trying pieces together over a period of time in quite until process. but it's a very very positive process. So i when i when i eventually got the ready ads. I was as excited about what i discovered about buying will work as was about juicing. The book you thought makes sense. It does when when you organize it chronologically. Would it be fair to say what you've actually created is a narrative. An perhaps even a memoir. Yes i'll be. The book started. The book started off without having any test it. We discussed this at length and remember discussing it with them from publishing houses saying kind of stories along with some of this. Because actually you know my work is actually. It's about stories. It's about the journey and it's about it's about the entire thing so i started to write some text. I'm not a writer. I hasten to add burrowed some texts and we put it together and he was very very supportive. You've got to have it because actually it's the story of the whole thing that binds together and again. I'm very very pleased that we didn't gonna produce. It went on to initially tightened. The whole saying it's a long process.

"Chemicals and papers lights and what's good about that is that it instills a way of thinking and then when i took that forward to bring into the landscape and creating pictures you did it in slow fashion and you did it in a very calculated but but but methodical fashion and it's really nice to go into that landscape to kind of get in june slow down an eventually create saying the focus wasn't always chasing something for me. That was very very important isis. Spend a lot of fishing with my dad and he could never done but it was doing photographing in the landscape in south to try and explain it to him that it was really extension. Almost the bishen concept and at the end of the day. If you got the fish it was a bonus begin have to get a fish would be a good day and it was abducted the with me what he in the landscape. There are days that the camera will never come over the by. Because i may not have felt like be honest. You know when you're in the mood of the thing running. So yes that steps can that manifested itself. I suppose the design thing actions was to be a reaction to my final are kind of training. Initially that that you know when something is kind of bacchus direction on that very impulsive say led by contrast that mine my photography endeavors four doors years benefit for me was i was doing it for myself now. People say that when you're doing work without a brief over our client that's ideal but actually more difficult because happy with it whereas if you get a brief from client do what project will. They know what they want you to do. Consequential you end up doing what they want for them. Whereas when you're trying to create something for yourself bloody challenging it all it is and it is indeed. The worst week is your. And when you're kind of created picture yourself that you'll you'll become your harvest critic. I mean it's it's a challenge and i think the frustration off not being happy with your work or kind to evolve. Your work is actually yeah. It's far is it. Is it does spark a slot. You say a lot of things on your website. That are really really interesting and and there's a. There's a couple that i want to get at here. You say that when you go when you go out to photograph or when you're doing your landscape work you're not going out to document the landscape you you you do not see yourself as a documentary photographer and you say that you want to push your images. This is a quote now pusher images and a painter lead direction. What do you mean okay. So i think the hardest thing is. I definitely don't want to documents landscape in many respects I kinda don't consider myself a landscape photographer. So game the images that i produce were reaction to what what they what i find. There are actually one by resonated with you. Know what i mean. So what i'm trying to is is to produce a picture that can actually encapsulate the personal exceeding the had wherever i was okay and when i say document landscape for me. It's appraise that that when someone says i've been aware that is or you know is that it is that i can is that It doesn't matter. It's not about class because they get a feeling from it from two and it resonates. That's what matters to me. That is the most important thing for me. The most important thing is the sound frontal picture or see in burke and to actually it resonates so not that they recognize it as a place i. I don't want to go on photographed landscapes or places that we know that are my interpretation. That doesn't really interest me. I'm much more interested in in in photographing of luck a rock early. It can be any ramp. But but if you talk to me if i see like create something from it doesn't for me so rather than just simply recording place or or or being. My interpretation of a particular place is more mine reaction to a place on the team if that makes it does indeed and you made a distinction again. I'm on your website. That i found absolutely fascinating. You said that the landscape was your studio much more than your subject that this is where you produce your stuff versus trying to take yet another picture of the cliffs of more or something very much at is by studio in seven landscape. So studio is the place. I go to work in documenting that place. It's the place that i work on. And i think that's very important for me. Say everybody there. Many incredible landscapes proponent for the document the landscape or we spotted we can recognize and it's amazing interpretation that we would never have envisaged of it. I think that's incredibly wonderful lights. My fire you made a distinction you you were talking about going out and the adventure of of simply taking photographs which i think all of us know and appreciate but you said there's the mood of a place on a certain day and then there's the mood that you're in and it's almost like a math equation mood of the place. Plus or minus the mood. You're in equals and evocative images. Have you ever had a complete mismatch of you ever had your mood and the mood of a place just not workout culturally honestly and times a year or two north florida near my whole okay not. I'm very fortunate because where i am there. It's on the west coast violent in west cork. Where i am there. I have a who in petra of nipson beaches and undiscovered areas. Tetris at the commissioning ramble. In aren't necessarily to any arson which is fine. And it's it's it's like a playground for me. It really really is. There are many days that i might go to a place of. I'm would know there with the intention of making a particular image. 'cause it's kinda you know it's in the back of my head i can. I have and then you go there and maybe there's much tonight. Maybe maybe i'm in a bit of a phone call. Maybe something just doesn't it just doesn't work and it's funny because there there even though i don't tend to go back and back and back there certain things and they can be as simple as a rock in that's very jeweler up. There are several images some of them on the website. Where i've gone back as you're saying it hasn't they won. It may not have worked to stay five or six.

The perez photography prize won the gold award at the moscow international photo awards silver and bronze awards in tokyo. I mean you start going down this list and you think my lord. This is extraordinary stuff. And it's no surprise when you start looking at the images. There is something about david's landscape photography that transcends documentation that transcends light and shadow and and something else leaves off those images that i find personally and inspiring and really really moving. David how are you today. How's life over on the other side of the atlantic is good despite the fact that the world's likely strange for putting their best foot forward and thank you for the invite to be here and looking forward to it. Well this is going to be a lot of fun david. A lot of us really cut our teeth on landscape photography and either on purpose or by accident simply because it doesn't move very fast you walk outside and the tree is going to be there for a while but landscape photography like so. Many things is much more difficult than we. I imagine to tell me what drew you to landscape. Photography as subject person is the very simple answer a numb time ago. I'm fifty eight as love. Sleek i started might autistic endeavors in ireland as a painter and i didn't quite work out. Didn't quite go to plan. And i drifted over to scotland to study graphic design per se at the best school bar but on day one day one i went on a weekend course trip with with the quote. Thomas joshua cooper who is renowned fine artists landscape. And i've got to say. I was just fascinated by his whole demeanor on his whole outlook on photography in the landscape as an art form. Now i've to say prior to that. I was one of the people that rarely see photography as an art form. So excuse me for that. I was going down this purest thing man and actually have garcia. He instilled a niche. That's an interesting progression that when you were doing painting what kind of painting were you. Doing was sort of realistic was an impressionistic. Was it still searching researching on. I was upset. I studied painting. Car ahead intended to stay on doing now. But i feel right scott. You know mission. I think when you're young irrespective of what your jury is difficult to find the path and could be convinced. The wrong when i went to glasgow and thomas. He was incredibly passionate. Couldn't be gifted at what he did. And i just had a feeling for. This was something in it. His based on nature. My whole life was based on Prior to that in ireland fishing is a massive passion of mine. Being buying the see was is where i grew. Up as a family we spend every weekend by the fishing cetera et cetera et cetera. Won't island a kind of made sense so it a knighted a fire in me that i can be honest. Cited at ideas bent thanking into then spent thirty years photographing learning inser fashion. So i never went on any other. Courses are i never. I never really involved myself with other token for working in landscape or otherwise. I i kinda went on my own journey to cross But it was very personal journey. I wasn't ever convinced that. I would out the work as it were really because it fulfilled desires for me. Just get get involved in this. It was the whole adventure being in the landscape and four graphically working in the landscape at just made me incredibly happy and then take that further and brought to the dark ruin create pictures and move along and they all ended up in boxes for many many years. You know boxes of boxes. I ever eat brain. It was a strange one. Because i had this thing about were fading and having my own work in in my own. Hold so interested in boxes behind on time. David this is a remarkable story. In and i should tell everyone because you and i were talking a little bit before we hit the record button here you talk about fishing everyday. Everyone two things you need to know number one. David holds the irish record for a pike northern pike caught on a flyer out at thirty three and a third pounds. Which you know anything about fly rods and you know anything about. Pike is a absolutely remarkable record. And i'm jealous on that one but even more importantly david has a website. And you need to be going there throughout this interview if you can. It's david mcgee. Photography dot com. There are a handful of other david. Mcgee's in the world. So make sure you have. David mcgee photography as the website. It is an elegant well-produced and from mendaciously inspiring website. I wanna go back one step though. Because i see a process developing here you went from sort of an abstract painting too graphic design which is sort of a formal. I mean it may not be former list but it is nonetheless highly. Intentional design work. Tell me how your training and design influence your photography not not only composition the field but your understanding of printing and that kind of context too. I think because because of my age has got to be honest. I consider myself lucky to have been in the era when we were dealing with film and chemicals and all of that stuff. I said i went to art college. Long before the internet was invented or thought so long before digital cameras and all that sort of thing so i personally think that was a great advantage because manifested the way of thinking which was running survey slow because it has to be so when i was at a gospel scooter bar whether raising the dark or whether i was on a design desk presentative slow process because everything is done by hand so any ideas concepts of whatever you're doing with pencil and paper everything in the dark drew you're doing with.

"Down into the six hundred. So the fed support during the climbed. Didn't help but then finally got to a price level that was deemed cheap and therefore less risky by major investors so the money flowed that the fed created went into stocks and went into stocks and went into stocks as opposed to other asset categories. But now you've been a dozen years up. Experienced asset. managers are getting suspicious and particularly suspicious about the money monetary policy and they know full well that ultimately is investor preference. The drives that fed money. It's not just the existence of the fed. Money doesn't always go with the fed. Wanted so these guys are saying thank you for printing the money we're gonna put it in t bonds we're gonna put it in gold and were put it in commodity related stocks and we think that's what's been going on for now a good number of months and i think it is also evidence in like the snp. The nasdaq with the pace of price rises very incremental Fact if you look at the nasdaq. one hundred. Which recently made new highs friday's close was three point three percent above his february high. So look at the number of months and look at the gains you've seen since its february heights been snail like so we think money is moving despite said policy. Well yeah and you mentioned one of the thing you know. Obviously the monetary framework over the past decade has been You know something. That's different this time in this market. But what's maybe. I think helps to explain this this Blow off in new momentum highs in the nasdaq to is that You know at the same time that liquidity has been dramatically dropping over the past ten years. We've seen equity inflows just massively surge over the past year and over the past you know this year especially but really investor leverage to is taken off so you pair following liquidity with massively increased leverage tips of margin debt or call options. And all these things and you. I mean how do you create a momentum structure like that i mean with let liquidity evaporate and let investors go nuts with leverage. One thing that. I've been just from traditional. Technical announces have been paying attention to in edwards and magee described the broadening top pattern like we see in the five hundred index over the past really since early eighteen late. Seventeen they describe that as a market out of control which which is to me is the technical representation of these a lot of these meam stocks and things that we're seeing. Do you think that kind of fits along too with what we've seen in terms of these long-term momentum structures over the past you know year two. Yeah i think the quality of the buying is is questionable as you pointed out that a lot of its leverage a lot of. It's like the same mentality that drove bitcoin for the last twenty. Thirty thousand bucks on the upside is is craziness the assumption that t- keep going just because it feels so damn good and a lot of the people. Investing in stocks now are new new to the market. And they're they're gambling. They want to use the leverage because they need to use the leverage because it's a source of money for them it's a fountain of flow of liquidity. When they make when they're right and so far you know if you buddy did it. And it's working the other buddy did it in his work. And you're gonna join in to and that kind of crowd behaviors of course highly dangerous and it's indicative of what you might see at a top and so i think those attributes you pointed out her. There's something to notice. I gotta ask you about a quote in particular from when he recent reports and just you know maybe you can elaborate on this a little bit you wrote. We sense that the theorist will smile at what unfolds in twenty twenty one and twenty twenty two what might have previously taken years via incremental price. Change won't sevenfold in violent jolts over a matter of quarters is a distinct possibility. And msa's getting more on edge about that sort of predictable. Chaos especially when we see momentum charts like what we're seeing today. Can you just kind of explain that a little bit more detail kind of what you what you're sensing. Well this chaos theorist have nailed. Many situations explained why they occurred at least from their perspective. Most of us who used to incremental trance. It meaning that it goes up at a certain angle goes down at a certain angle in generally persist in that angle of incline or decline. And i'm talking price now for example but there are times when coincidence events in inverse and coincident behavior of various asset categories comes into play all at once now for example you know money flows if it close out of stocks. He goes to where well we know. Now we're it goes. It goes into commodity base stocks. Have done very well. And they were very cheap and it caused a major jolt in those stocks even more than in the commodities themselves so surprised as you look at a soybean chart or corn chart and upturn looks like gee we had a drought. You know their crop disaster. No you didn't. But the change in trend was like a lightning bolt and it's also true with many other commodities. Well we also see that building for instance look at look at gold for example. It's been a really what you could call a gradual incremental wave up down wave since two thousand sixteen two thousand eighteen secondary low in the eleven sixty s. Where you know any jolt on. The upside really wasn't that dramatic. You know went up. One hundred two hundred dollars in backed off spent some time etc etc is more leisurely. It wasn't unusual..

Wouldn't it be great if i would have had the same opportunities and i want the same opportunities for those students all over. Yeah no i hear you. I hear you one of the best experiences learning experiences i ever had and i've talked about it on this show. Before was in third grade. I went to a new elementary school and it was opened. It was called open space so there were eighty third graders and three teachers and what those three teachers did was pure magic. It was the first time it was only in third grade..

Learn To Listen To Yourself by Krista O'Reilly-Davi-Digui
"Learn to listen to yourself by krista o'reilly davig magee of a life in progress dot ca one of the greatest gifts. Anyone can offer me is to make me feel truly heard like they care what i have to say and how i feel no judgment are trying to fix me the gift of a safe space to hash things out and express what is on my mind and heart so that i can heal and gain clarity and have the courage to move forward. I shared how this might have helped me when as a teen i wanted to die. I don't need you to tell me what to do. I usually already know. But when you hear me i feel loved. I released shame. And i gained courage to take yet another stab into who and how i choose to be in the world. But here's another truth. We turn a coaches and counselors sisters and girlfriends to be heard. Do we offer ourselves the same precious gift do we practice hearing and honoring ourselves first offering our own person. The grace and compassion that we seek from others. Do we have the courage to look inward and learn to listen to what our minds bodies and spirits are telling us. This needs to be the starting place. We need to learn to listen to ourselves. We read every new book. That comes out travel to conferences. Jump at the chance to hear that guest speaker. We constantly gathering information. Jump on board with the new fad eagerly. Try out a new pill or the new program hoping that we will find the answer. We seek outside of ourselves. Talking with our best friends offering are well thought out. Opinions on social media and monthly meet ups with a life coach also repurpose but becoming more clearly ourselves figuring out who we want to be what we need identified a real passion or gifts we wanna bring to the world putting our finger on the place of unrest the root of our disease these all come as we learned to listen to ourselves. We so desperately wanna be heard so let us practice hearing ourselves with practice. We become better attuned to what our minds bodies and spirits are speaking quicker to trust a still small voice. More confident that we already know what it is. We need or that. The answer will come and we have only two still ourselves and listen. We can practice listening in myriad ways but today i want to offer some questions we might use as we practice pause go inward and learn to listen number one. At the end of the day we can take a few calming breasts and simply asked. How did my day go today. We might take note of three things. We agreeable for two things. We did well today. One thing we would do differently next time this way we can be into live more mindfully number two when strong emotions bubble up. We can get a loan for a minute and ask. What am i feeling right now. Spilled milk is probably not. The real issue is more likely that there is a deeper root of fear or overwhelm lurking beneath the surface. We can create space for tears. If need be pleased create space. Tears remind ourselves that our feelings are not bad not rage nor fear. Anger sadness grief loneliness pleasure or delight and pay attention to where that emotion lives in our body and our tents shoulders are temples are clenched fists or jaw. That throbbing pain in our legs will begin to see more clearly. The connection between our feelings and our physical symptoms number three if a strong urge to binge arises. Whether on netflix sleep food or alcohol we can notice pause and listen in after asking. What do they truly need right now. We might notice that we are physically or emotionally. Hungary incredibly tired afraid or excited when we do go ahead and eat or take some downtime. We can check in and ask is truly nourishing me as a way of getting clear on what it is that actually makes us feel well fed rested so that we begin to live more intentionally rather than on autopilot number four before pressing by now or signing up for that course or saying yes to one more engagement we can breathe and pause perhaps. Take a twenty four hour pause and ask. Will this truly serve me right now. We consider if it aligns with our current financial or life goals marvin honors the season. We are in. We might ask if we even truly like need have room for this new item food or experience or if we are simply afraid of missing out acting on impulse numbing or following the crowd and little by little we will begin to live more authentically
Recorded Future - Inside Threat Intelligence for Cyber Security
Kevin Magee of Microsoft Canada on where the cybersecurity industry may be headed
"Where do you think we're headed when when you look towards the horizon? In terms of thinking of the continued professionalization of cybersecurity. Becomes more and more essential, less exotic a part of every business. What do you think the future holds for us well I hope we don't ever lose the art and make it into a complete science would be my number one comment on that it's it's not like other industries and we try and graft our thought processes and how we define our industry on. Other. Industries, we call you know people in technology architects or engineers. Maybe we need our own vocabulary to describe what we do, I and I. Think we need to You've really step back in see where we want to take our industry and those of us that have been in while and have been around have had the benefit of lots of great mentors and lots. Of folks that helped us up the ladder and it's incumbent on us to really do that for the next generation, help them up the ladder and a lot of times they feel like they can't reach out to someone with a big title like mine or whatnot. One of the greatest joys of my day is spending some time with a student or someone who is passionate. About our industry in in helping, guide them or introducing some a new book that they should read or not to them to enable them on their career and I. think There's a lot of folks like me out there that would love to have those discussions. Have those have those interactions and pay it forward because someone helped them get to where they are as well.

Race is Not Tangential to Meditation | Rhonda V. Magee
"Guys. Of course it is great to become better at meditation on the cushion to get to you to have your practice improve over time. That's the real point as Sharon Salzberg. The great meditation teacher has said. The point of meditation is not to become a better meditators percents to become a better person to to get better at at your life and you know I often for myself describe it as just becoming less of a moron and so the point is to get up from meditation from one minute to minute. Five minutes twenty minutes. Whatever you're doing and then put it to test in the real world with other human beings how you doing it the DMV. How you doing it The office that's why on this show. We once in a while really try to dive into what is in my view. One of if not the most tricky and contentious social issues in in the United States of America and in many other countries in the world which is race and the takeaway for me from this week's guest is that race really is not a tangential issue to your practice. Is the crucible in which you can test your meditation practice. And it's not just racist. How do you deal with difference? Mejet it can be pigmentation. It could be chromosomes. That can be ideological No matter how homogeneous your you know from a racial standpoint your environment may be there is. There's difference around you all the time. And how are you dealing with that? What kind of assumptions? And you're bringing to the table and Ken Meditation. Untangle things in a useful way for you so Rhonda. Mcgee is a professor of law at the University of San Francisco. She's been on this show before if you want to hear about her fascinating upbringing Go back and listen to episode one hundred twenty four but in this show. We're GONNA talk about her new book which is called the inner work of racial justice healing ourselves and transforming our communities through mindfulness and we talk about whiteness. What it's like to wake up to whiteness both as a white person and Somebody WHO's Non White? We talk about something that I think is fascinating discussed and we have discussed before in the show that this utility of shame when looking at your own biopsies practical ways to use meditation in And mindfulness in these often incredibly painful and awkward conversations about race. We talk about some of the trickiness even among the the tricky issues even among the people who are really committed to this work. Like where's the line between political correctness? And what the Buddha would call right speech also talk about predatory listening and cancelled culture. So we we really cover a whole range of hot button issues in a really thoughtful and I find incredibly practical meaningful way and also Rhonda's just Super Fun and interesting so here we go. Here's Rhonda McGee Great to see you great to see you to come. Thank you already laughing and smiling and we're GONNA be talking about tough stuff. That's a good sign. It's life yes. That's a useful thing to say actually I can't believe I'M GONNA ask this question. I've tried never task this question because the cliche question but here we go. Why did you write this book? okay. I think this book actually kind of wrote me innocence I think I've been working toward the content of it for many many years. You know this is my twenty first year teaching law in San Francisco and teaching All those years of tot you know traditional courses like Personal Injury Law Insurance Law immigration. But I've also intentionally taught courses that invite us to kind of come around gather around the campfire and look at how race and racism intersect with long legal history in our own lives. Actually and I think in the course of that I certainly number one started relying very consciously on my own Inner work to support that kind of outer work so I was very intentionally relying all those years on my own. Mindfulness practice and then at a certain point. I realized I needed to try to figure out how to bring that explicitly into the classroom to be of greater support to my students in not just into that classroom but just into the legal conversation were generally and So I just began exploring with that and that was way back in two thousand three two or three And then I found the network of other people who both in academia generally we're interested in bringing this inner and outer work together for service and work in the world for a more refined twenty first century way of thinking about what it means to be an educator human being on the one hand but also in law in particular because if you think about law it's just this profound enterprise aimed at trying to as best we can create a structure for holding difficult conversations and dealing with difficult issues that can Help the society cohere overtime so funny you say that because I think of lawyers is the people who like the knowing to detail. Contractual work that. I really don't WanNa do that. I don't even WanNa talk about with them. I understand that and yet what is the purpose of that is to kind of facilitate the work that you want to do in the world you right. So it's yes. I understand that. Set the rules of the road for me and my employer about what I'm expected to do. And what they and what I can expect them to. Absolutely if you wind the lens just a little bit. This is what we do in life as professor get to. Why in the Liz? A little bit and help You know help us see the big questions and the big functions if you will of something. That seems pretty Monday often. The elements of the negligence caused action. Duty breach causation damages. Like how that really that particular as one example of what laws trying to do is really a way of looking at what what sort of the best we can offer as a society as a means to support resolving conflicts that just occur when somebody unintentionally injures another person. This is what we got you know. And it's it's iterative we try and you know Interest on it over time. That's what the common law system was about changing as we need to To take into consideration changes in the culture changes in our sense of what right and wrong is. What's the right way to deal with A particular kind of suffering changes over time whether or not to cognizant recognize a certain kind of suffering changes a society does so so the beautiful thing actually about law for me that it is you know. Is this human effort in human project that is aiming toward a kind of You know a kind of perfection if you will a kind of Making the best with what we have In response to conflict which is inevitable in human community and so For me this book was about bringing that bringing to that conversation into that profound human project something of some tiny bit or some. Some thing of what? I've been learning as I've been working to bring together. This contempt of practice said commitments. That I call mine from this Bringing that together with The particular part of law. That's that works at the intersection of racism and racial injustice as it intersects with class and gender and sex orientation and all the other sorts of `ISMs and schisms of our time but for me just working on that over time gave me a lot to do but also gave me a certain way of holding these complexities. That certainly helped me sustain in the work. Frankly I had a moment where I was GonNa Leave Law because I felt like if I couldn't do it in a way that was much more holistic. Maybe I shouldn't be doing it so it was partly me feeling my way to sustainable way of of doing this hard work but also just feeling like okay. It's helping me I can see. My students are suffering. I can see a lot of suffering in the world around this that if it's helped me maybe it might help somebody else around race and how we respond to racism racial justice questions around the role of law and all of that which has been frankly both perpetrator and hope by holes itself as being the pathway to some sort of resolution but on the other hand if we look historically at the rule of law it's been you know people rightly point to it as really one of the the kind of core forces of oppression codifying it find the injustice. Exactly codifying raise codifying higher racial hierarchy At every level Three-fifth three fits right in the constitution and so many three V Fugitive slave clause So many different places where compromises were made right at the
Monocle 24: The Foreign Desk
An Iraqi Spring?
"Some of the people who have been demonstrating across Iraq in recent weeks had not been born in two thousand and three when the United States led an invasion which was supposed is to turn the country into a beacon of liberal democracy at least four hundred of the people who have demonstrated across Iraq. In recent weeks we'll never know if such an outcome ever occurs the response of authorities has been brutal with several instances of live fire used against protesters. The protests tests began in early October. They have persisted despite the heavy handed reaction of Iraqi police and other security services last weekend. Iraq's Prime Minister Adel Abdul Mahdi admitted defeat and announced his resignation. It is unclear who or what comes next. Iraq's new protests protests a brief venting of frustration or is it something bigger than that a delayed addition to the Arab spring or a contribution to a current global eruption of rage. And will they change anything. This is the foreign desk. A lot of these really young demonstrators. And you're like kids. were like seventeen years old going to these really dangerous places where there's live bullets and all of them will stay universally. I'm not afraid I'm ready to die for this and asked him. Why aren't you afraid? And many of them will say something like you know I've gotten used to. This isn't something that scares me anymore. which is a hard thing to hear coming from early on kids? Mel Of the question is what you're on will do or will not do. It's what the the Iraqis will do or do on mainly the Iraqi political elite who are having constitutional legal and ethical obligations awesome to insulate the country from foreign influence. I would consider what we've seen in October until now this year is probably the greatest existential essential threat to the post. Two Thousand and three Iraqi State even when Isis rose the Iraqi parties and the people were together in condemning Isis and there was a clear strategy to remove isis assist. There is not a clear strategy of what needs to be done and I think the political leaders sat in Baghdad or feeling. You're listening to the foreign desk with me. Andrew Miller my first guest today is pressure Mageed a journalist based in Baghdad who has been covering the protests since the beginning of October tober pressure. First of all. Let's talk about what's been happening this week. What point have the protests got to now so the protesters have really dug in their heels? At this point. They've we've kind of set up their own mini infrastructure within Dr Square. They have tents people are sleeping there for weeks at a time. They have blankets. They have emergency health facility. Salihi stood up for people who are injured and people are really prepared to stay there for a very long time. Well let's go back to win. This started in October as as far as it was possible to tell. was there any particular thing that sparked it off obviously underlying these demonstrations a great many eh deeply-held grievances but was there. One particular thing that seemed to bring people out into the streets so at the very beginning of October the protests I I think we're kind of like normal protests right so there were huge huge huge huge numbers at the very beginning and they were protesting after office. The fact that there was no real change. They were protesting also to a certain extent military leader. WHO's popular removal from office? But they really. I think started growing quite intensely after the the government's violent response to those protesters you know. They started using bullets at the beginning of October. And I think that's part of the reason why the protests have have grown to such an extent you know there's the endemic economic issues. There's the corruption that people are just exhausted with and then there's the fact that people are just so angry that they're seeing so many people being and killed in the streets. The authorities in Iraq went incredibly quickly from a standing start to firing live rounds at civilian protesters as anybody buddy yet understood how why that happened. It's been reported by Some of the agencies that the Iraqi government gut advice ice from costumes Sulaimaniyah the head of the Revolutionary Guard on how to respond to the protests in that might have been part of the reason why the response was so violent and Y- it seems like you know how they felt at the time was that they could not allow for any protests whatsoever that they needed to stamp it out as quickly as possible. And when you say revolution regard the you are of course talking about the Iranian Revolution regard and it has been a theme of these protests that Iranian targets have often come under fire will will quite literally. We've seen several Iranian consulates and other buildings burned down in some cases repeatedly. was that something that was already in the the era kind of resentment at Iranian influence over Iraq or did that come about because of this perceived Iranian involvement in the the massacre of at least at least four hundred that we now know of demonstrators. I think it's both I mean. People were definitely already angry at Iran for its influence over Iraq and especially it's seen as the power behind zone of some of the political parties that many protesters regardless very corrupt in as one of the main reasons that Iraq is in its current situation. And and then you know people definitely Blame Iran to a large extent for the violence. That's occurred I mean you know it's not like they don't blame government as well well but you know people definitely see that. Iran is kind of like the power behind the throne
