What is COVID teaching us at this time? R and N discuss what they have learned about the world during COVID. This discussion stems from a conversation that N participated in where a Native elder called COVID "the great teacher." They also discuss the American obsession with prolonging life, disrespecting the land, and the so-called American healthcare system. We discuss why we named the podcast Eating Cake that includes a tiny history lesson and end the podcast reflecting on Teddy Roosevelt and his worry about change being dangerous, but delaying change is fatal. Shout out to our overseas listeners: Norway, Brazil, Ireland, Australia! We love you!
Correction: When discussing Theodore Roosevelt, N mistakenly says the 18th century. It should have been the 1800s. Also, when discussing activism and being a "change agent," N means to address burning out on individualized activism, not collective action. More to come on that later.
