In the beginning, the word of God was law, providing humanity a moral code, a sense of purpose, and for the chosen few, a chance at eternal life in heaven. Also, God was a man.
Then the internet was born and debunked all of that.
The world is evolving, rapidly and in many ways. But too many people in power cling to outdated beliefs and systems that no longer serve the rest of us. If they have their way, their greed will be our ruin.
But I, Kayse Melone, demand a better future for us. It’s time to challenge the status quo, resist the powers that be, and recreate the world in our image.
This is The Kayse Melone Show.
The Kayse Melone Show is a podcast and video series I’m launching on my 33rd birthday as a gift to myself.
It’s a podcast made specifically for the following audiences: strong and powerful women, girly pops, men who have healed their fragile egos, men who haven’t healed their fragile egos but are still actively working on healing them, nonbinary people, people of color, allies of people of color, the LGBTQIA+ community, straight people who don’t yet realize that everyone is kinda a part of the LGBTQIA+ community, exchristians, exvangelicals, exmormons?, exreligious anything, climate change recognizers, science believers, human rights supporters, and finally, anyone else who’s not a goddamn billionaire.
If any of these describe you, welcome to a new era: one in which we shape a progressive society of freethinkers and free spirits, where we all belong and thrive. The Word of Kayse is my way of participating in that new world, and I’m so excited to share this creative project with you.
How can we stay connected in a system that wants to divide us? What does it mean to be a freethinker when we’re surrounded by algorithms that reinforce all of our beliefs? And what parts of our past and traditions can we bring with us into the future without jeopardizing the progress we make along the way?
The Kayse Melone Show is a show that will ask these questions and others like them every single week. The answers will be broken down in a way that’s both thought-provoking and digestible.
My aim is to equip you with the means of taking your power back from entities that want to keep you complacent, unquestioning, and controlled. Thank goddess for the internet that allows us to explore new and eye opening ideas. That’s how I discovered my new eternal lord and savior, Luigi Mangione.
Because in an era of unlimited information at our fingertips, we must be intentional about the media we give our attention to. Stay tuned to stay involved.
Right now, in this exact moment, we are deciding how the future is going to go. Because we’re more interconnected than ever, each decision we make today will affect not only our individual lives, but the collective as a whole.
Neutrality is no longer an option. By sitting silently and doing nothing, we’re ensuring that nothing will ever go our way.
I had a history professor who always said, “You can’t stay neutral on a moving train.” That train is time, and we are all moving forward with it, whether we’d like to or not.
The illusion of neutrality will only ensure that the future will go to the people in power who don’t care about you or me and, if left to their own devices, would leave us in the dust. As the character Chief Powhatan said in the 1995 animated film Pocahontas, “These white men are dangerous.”
But we can determine something better. We as a species have brought about tangible, lasting, progressive change in this world time and time again. And I think a lot of us are ready for another turn of the wheel.
So let’s work on it together. Let’s determine what really matters to ourselves and to humanity.
