Stuck in the car with Steve
After years of musing, thinking, dreaming, and exploring I’ve ended up with a head full of thoughts, questions, ideas, and philosophy that might be of interest to others. On a solo road-trip from North QLD to Victoria and back again, I took the opportunity to record an exploration of some of the things that bounce around in my head and underpin the work that I do. This is what you get when you’re stuck in a car with me. BYO snacks! The episodes were released in the order they were recorded, so although each episode explores a separate idea, and it is not essential to listen to them in order they DO follow a line of thought, as it were, from start to finish. There are callbacks and references to prior episodes throughout all of it and what I personally thought was a really satisfying conclusion to it all. Up to you how you listen to it! *** Important Disclaimer *** These thoughts are in no way fact-checked or reference cited. None of this should be taken as advice, inspiration, or truth. This podcast is purely for entertainment purposes only. The musings of a lonely person at the wheel after too many coffees and too many days on the road should NEVER be taken seriously.

It's a sticky subject and I don't have any answers for you, but here's some thoughts on it all the same...

I think it's possible that we have lost touch with the natural world, despite knowing more about it than ever before. Where could misunderstanding the system within which we live lead us?

I wasn't always so intent on rambling about nature. This is actually a new thing for me. I spent most of my life oblivious to the kinds of things that fascinate me now, so in this episode I rummage around in the event that pushed me onto the path I'm on now.

A prevalent theme in many of my musings, generational ignorance stems from the idea that we gain our understanding of the world from previous generations who also gained their knowledge of the world from previous generations... While this ability has been critical to the success of human culture, it also has the ability to put modern scientific discoveries in direct competition with deeply cherished belief systems which no longer serve us well...

Exploring the idea of anthropocentrism and the repercussions it has throughout ideology, philosophy, and human society. Or maybe just rambling... The value is definitely subjective!
I've spent a lifetime thinking about why people do what they do, and although I've got no authority to tell anybody else to believe it, I think I've got a few pretty solid ideas on what makes us tick. These podcasts were recording on a very long drive, and as I was alone in the car there was no way to double-check things or pull up references... so these are just thoughts. Unrequested, unsolicited, unfiltered thoughts. Please don't take them to heart.
