The Wonder LandEpisode 41: Beautiful MelancholiaListen in as Amanda and Alex explore experience that seems to come as a result of noticing that everything arises and dissolves all on its own. When the longing to be different, better, and get to a next place collapses we can see that only the longing remains; but it’s whole and complete in itself.  Perhaps the unseen belief that there is someone or something making it all happen or not happen in imaginary separation is what hurts so much. Can you sense a soft, quiet, bittersweet melancholia in your experience? What a wonder that is!

Give and TakeEpisode 100: Troll Nation, with Amanda MarcotteThe election of Donald Trump in 2016, like most of his campaign, came as a shock to many Americans. In Troll Nation Amanda Marcotte argues that Trump's election was the inevitable result of American conservatism’s degradation into an ideology of blind resentment. For years now, she contends, the purpose of right wing media, particularly Fox News, has not been to argue for traditional conservative ideals, such as small government or even family values, so much as to stoke bitterness and paranoia in its audience. Traditionalist white people have lost control over the culture, and they know it, and the on...
