This is a very good and unbiased video on the Venezuelan Crisis(which is quite rare...).

Incredible explanation of how telepathy is a "visual language" in the first 15 minutes. Psychedelics increase the awareness of changes in face, body, emotions and context (visual aspects of communication) to such an extent that telepathy (communication without deliberate signalling) is possible. In other words, the increased ability to empathize (to "feel the other") melts the interpersonal boundaries into a shared experience. It's not so much an ethereal transmission of thoughts as a synchronous cognitive construction caused by the increased fidelity of stimuli/perception and similar dictionary units (hence why friends and relatives are better at telepathy than strangers -- and empathy for that matter).

Very very similar to "Life Goes In Phases" but more broad, you can apply to alot of things. 

Very interesting to use this to think about the future of the US.

I definitely wasn't expecting that level of Wisdom from a simple animated video on YouTube...???

A very short paper on how to change systems using the 12 Leverage Points, by Donella Meadows. Very interesting stuff if you are interested in social change. Notice how different it is from the Green protest/revolution values.

I read about half of Thinking In Systems: A Primer, but I learned systems thinking through an online course instead because I thought it was easier. Her book was a bit too abstract and meta and didnt have enough examples and implementations for me personally.

[Rilles]

Listen and take notes, otherwise its gonna go over your head.

I havent really found a book on Systems that I'm willing to buy yet, I am looking into some stuff by Fritjof Capra and Peter Senge but I would rather read papers and watch lectures for now.

There is a communication theory course I'm taking that is explictly based on systems thinking and holism, people like Gregory Bateson and Fritjof Capra. The books are in Norwegian though ?

@Rilles Audiobook is very good would recommend. The intro to systems thinking audiobook is not so good. Did not read the physical book yet.
