how sudden disruptions to business as usual can effect an instantaneous change in consciousness that evaporates the ethnic, economic, and ideological barriers that divide our communities
What does this actually mean? It sounds to me like "When oil prices shoot up, everyone will become poor, and therefore forced to live with and depend on each other more." Is it a grand advancement in human consciousness when your family used to live in a 4/3 home in the suburbs, but now can only afford a studio apartment in the ghetto with paper-thin walls and cockroaches, necessary because it's all you could afford within walking distance of your job? Might lead to enlightenment, but just as easily might not.
The podcast is uploading now and should be available in a few minutes. I'd ask that you give it a listen and then let me know how much, if any, of your question remains unanswered. I'd be hard pressed to encapsulated the contents of this episode in the space afforded by an LJ comment.
no, i think it's when a massive forest fire forces you and everyone within a ten-mile radius to evacuate your houses on very little notice, perhaps in the middle of the night. Lorenzo lives near San Diego.
Emphasis here i would imagine is on the "sudden" part. I'm very interested to hear his take on this; for instance, I can certainly think of "sudden disruptions" that didn't exactly result in an evaporation of the ethnic, economic, and ideological barriers that divide our communities. Can anyone say "Gretna bridge, post-Katrina"?? but on the other hand, two weeks without electricity in mid-winter a few years ago brought my neighbors closer together and eventually resulted in the formation of a neighborhood association that's done awesome community-minded things. what's the difference that changes the result?

Hi KMO,
At the beginning of this podcast you mentioned that you were going to post the entire interview with Yasmeen Grant and that it would be in your show notes.
I was wondering when would you make it available?
As well via CBC's Best of Ideas podcast both parts of "In Search of the Divine Vegetal" have been put online.

For archival purposes:
KMO said, "The portions of my interview with Ayasmina that I cut from episode 67 saw the light of day in the fill-in episode of the Dopecast that I put together for the Dopefiend in December."
It's quite amusing listening to you talk to Nate Hagens, since you both spend a lot of the time quoting Kunstler-isms at eachother and it sounded rather like a conversation between JHK and himself.

My conversations with Neil Kramer can sound Like Terence McKenna talking to himself.
