Bonus Episode with Kristi Brian

How do you solve a problem like Korea?This week we are joined by Kristi Brian, a cultural anthropologist and author of Reframing Transracial Adoption: Adopted Koreans, White Parents, and the Politics of Kinship. In it we ask everything from "what constitutes family?" to "how are children turned into products for American consumers?" We discuss adoption horror stories, the history of adoption in the United States, racism, adoption as charity and industry, capitalism, patriarchy, and white feminism. And after getting into some depressing details of a corrupt system, we talk about some possible ways of moving forward and imagine what the future of families could look like.Check out my post Health is the Great Paradox where I lay out the modern Western paradigm--what I see as the root of adoption issues.Special thanks to Ninja Sex Party for their cover of Everybody Wants to Rule the World and Take on Me.Visit philoofhealth.org to support this podcast and my path to healing by donating or using my ebay or amazon links, or to set up a personal consultation with me."The test of the morality of a society is what it does for its children." - Dietrich Bonhoefferhttps://www.gofundme.com/seoulsister http://philoofhealth.org/2017/07/children-of-empire.html

Episode 37 - Adoption Series: Children of Empire with Kristi Brian

Peter KJ Park joins us for our third and final podcast to discuss mystical history, the alternate history competing with the story that we are all familiar with today. We discuss Georg Ast and Thaddeus Rixner, two philosophers who not only expounded a history that did not begin in Greece, but also saw India and Egypt as a part of the original progression of the history of philosophy and civilization. Unlike Kant and Meiners, they did not share the belief that non-whites were incapable of serious thought and were therefore not blinded by the astounding and undeniable achievements made by non-white cultures, their impact on the Western philosophy, and their place in Western history.Join us for the third episode of this three-part series as we explore theories of race and racism then and now, the quest for the origin of civilization, philosophical mysticism, the evolution of Spirit, and the double-consciousness of W.E.B. Dubois.Special thanks to Ninja Sex Party for their cover of Aha's Take On Me.Visit philoofhealth.org to support this podcast and my path to healing by donating or using my ebay or amazon links, or to set up a personal consultation with me.

Episode 34 - Origins of Racism: Mystical History

Peter KJ Park joins us once again to delve into two historians of philosophy who rejected the emerging view of history, Joseph Marie de Gérando and Friedrich Schlegel, both of whom set upon the task of writing a comparative history of philosophy. This model was based on Enlightenment science, but instead of classifying all the natural stuff of this world, they were intent to classify all the systems of thought that have existed throughout the story of mankind. They thought to organize, divide, and compare the intellectual history of civilization. They part company, however, when it comes to precisely when that history begins, de Gérando being a Meiners devotee, and Schlegel being a scholar of Sanskrit and Persian.Join us for the second episode of this four-part series as we explore the where historians before Kant believed Western civilization was born, alternate views of history and development of philosophy, how those more accurate accounts of humanity's development became lost to history, and what these revelations mean to us today.Visit philoofhealth.org to support this podcast and my path to healing by donating or using my ebay or amazon links, or to set up a personal consultation with me.

Episode 33 - Origins of Racism: An Alternate History

Was Western civilization born with the spontaneous, creative genius of the ancient Greeks who passed their knowledge onto the Romans who then spread it throughout Europe? Or was it devised by racist philosophers of the enlightenment? Before the year 1780, virtually no scholar believed history began in Greece. What changed? In his groundbreaking book, Africa, Asia, and the History of Philosophy: Racism in the Formation of the Philosophical Canon, Peter KJ Park presents devastating evidence against the standard narrative of history. In this work he shows how Immanuel Kant, the towering mind of the enlightenment, rewrote that history alongside a little-known philosopher named Christoph Meiners, to not only champion solely white people's contribution to ancient and modern philosophy, but also remove people of color from contributing to Western culture as a whole by rewriting history and giving us our first theory of race. This theory led directly to the rise of the Nazis and to our current national and geo-political struggles with race relations.Join us for this three-part series as we explore the where historians before Kant believed Western civilization was born, alternate views of history and development of philosophy, how those more accurate accounts of humanity's development became lost to history, and what these revelations mean to us today.Visit philoofhealth.org to support this podcast and my path to healing by donating or using my ebay or amazon links, or to set up a personal consultation with me.

Mehran Khaghani

Born an anchor baby in London, Mehran single-handedly rescued his Iranian family from the Ayatollah Khomeini. Ever gracious, teenage Mehran evened the score in the United States by dropping out of college and taking up homosexuality.Honing his sharp sense of the absurd while working at Harvard University, Mehran's early experience navigating regime change came in handy when he personally escorted deposed president Larry Summers off the property. He would later go on to produce several successful shows with the University-affiliated Oberon Theater.A quick riser in the Boston comedy scene, Mehran was named Best Comedian in Boston by the Boston Phoenix, and was a two time finalist in the International Boston Comedy Festival. At Emerson College's Semel Theater, Mehran recorded a half hour of comedy for Die Laughing, produced by Friends co-creator, Kevin Bright.Mehran has opened for such acts as Maz Jobrani, Tom Green and Eugene Mirman. He works regularly with some of the hottest up-and-comers in comedy and has been in the Eugene Mirman Comedy Festival for the last four years. He has played to crowds of thousands at leading venues, like the Wilbur Theater, the Berklee Performance Center, and the Lisner Auditorium and has toured extensively at colleges and universities. A leading MC in the emerging neo-burlesque scene, Mehran plays to an audience of 30,000 each December at the historic Somerville Theater.He recently moved to Manhattan, where he lives with his husband and his tiny idiot dog.We discuss his time working at Beth Israel and Harvard (Larry fucking Summers), his experience with the Iranian revolution, dogs, why medical science is bullshit (http://acsh.org/2015/05/science-publication-is-hopelessly-compromised-say-journal-editors/), marijuana dispensaries, transracial, being a gay iranian, Amanda Palmer, and magic.

Gary Lachman

Gary Lachman (aka Gary Valentine), once the bassist of Blondie, has since turned his sights toward being a popular writer of the occult. His traditional background in philosophy has given him a unique perspective into the history of esoteric systems, allowing him to see patterns and historical lineages across these disciplines which so rarely overlap. Gary has written on Jung, Swedenborg, Rudolf Steiner, and histories of the occult and consciousness, and joins us to talk about the spiritual practice of "reading and research and contemplating." We also talk about the physical health of mystics, creative illness, and revelatory knowledge vs academic knowledge.More at philoofhealth.com

Gerard Russell

Gerard Russell worked for 14 years as a British and United Nations diplomat, which took him to the far stretches of the cradle of civilization including Cairo, Jerusalem, Baghdad, Kabul, and Jeddah right after the war in Iraq began. There, he was able to come face to face with those who still practice ancient pagan religions, some of which are older than 4,000 years and all of which are disappearing. His background in philosophy having studied at Oxford and London Universities positioned him to write his first book, Heirs to Forgotten Kingdoms, which took him four and a half years to write and brought him to eight different countries.To listen to his book for free visit audibletrial.com/philosophy.More at philoofhealth.org

Rudolf Steiner

Rudolf Steiner was a highly trained scientist, philosopher, architect, founder of biodynamic agriculture and the Waldorf Schools, social reformer, esotericist, and a clairvoyant we are far from catching up with. Not only was he once the steward of Goethe's scientific writings, but he was also offered to be the official archivist of Nietzsche's writings upon his death. He was a Rosicrucian, a mystic, a visionary, and the founder of the movement Anthroposophy.Brought to you by: fundwhatyoulove.comFor more: PhiloOfHealth.org

Nicholas Christakis

Nicholas A. Christakis, MD, PhD, MPH, is a social scientist and physician who thinks outside the box when it comes to modern medicine. He also has dire warnings and a scathing critique as well as information to arm patients. He looks at race, gender, and income as factors in illness, and even questions what we mean by 'disease'. Dr. Christakis teaches an amazing course at Yale called "Death and Dying in the USA". He was elected to the Institute of Medicine of the National Academy of Sciences in 2006, and was made a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science in 2010. In 2009, Christakis was named by Time magazine to their annual list of the 100 most influential people in the world. In 2009 and in 2010, he was listed by Foreign Policy magazine in their annual list of Top 100 Global Thinkers.Dr. Christakis joins us to tell us what he means when he says, "The main determinant of whether you live or die has nothing to do with medical care." We talk about his moving personal path to becoming a doctor, what led him to social networks, why most Americans die deaths worthy of the third world, and why he is in the minority in his views of what modern medicine can do.More at: http://philoofhealth.org/2015/02/social-medicine-with-nicholas-christakis

Episode 13 - A Good Death with Nicholas Christakis, MD/PhD

Judy Bachrach

We’ve all heard of Near Death Experiences, but what about those who have actually physically died–been medically declared dead–and come back? Judy Bachrach is a contributing editor of Vanity Fair as well as a professor of journalism. Her journalism work for the Washington Post led National Geographic to commission her to write the book Glimpsing Heaven: The Stories and Science of Life After Death, a journalistic odyssey filled with the author’s extensive interviews with those who have died and then been resuscitated – ordinary individuals who return to life with vivid, specific and structured recollections of what Bachrach calls their “Death Travels”. She also interviews the doctors, scientists and nurses who have examined both the death travelers and their memories of what occurred during those voyages beyond life’s borders – scientists, doctors and nurses who find these memories credible and accurate. Clinical death—the moment when the heart stops beating and brain stem activity ceases—is not necessarily the end of consciousness, as a number of doctors are now beginning to concede. Modern medicine is reinventing death...More at: http://philoofhealth.org/2015/01/death-travels-jury-bachrach.html
