The Green Elephant in the Room: Solutions To Restoring the Health of People and the Living Planet
We all know about the doom and gloom associated with environmental issues. We need to tell ourselves a new story.

Shrinking Trump: Performance, Pathology, and the Presidency (Part 2 of 3)
SHOW-NOTES
How does individual psychological dysfunction become mass contagion? This episode explores the transformation from personal pathology to cultural crisis—examining how smart people voluntarily humiliate themselves for power, how politics has replaced religion as identity, and how projection weaponizes confusion. We trace the coarsening of American discourse, the capture of institutions by appearance over competence, and how extreme wealth literally rewires the brain to eliminate empathy.
From cabinet members competing in "degradation Olympics" to the 'Daddy' psychology of authoritarian worship, we document the psychological mechanisms turning citizenship into tribalism. The episode reveals why fact-checking bounces off political believers, how the "central casting" presidency hollows out government competence, and why billionaire policymakers can't comprehend the suffering their decisions cause.
Understanding these patterns is the first step toward protecting democratic institutions—and your own psychological independence from forces designed to undermine both.
A CALL TO ACT: The World's Most Comprehensive Database of Eco-Solutions. In one sentence we are going to sum up the only realistic way to solve this mammoth eco-crisis engulfing us: The single most important and effective action people can take is come together to form movements – or join existing groups – that can push for changes big enough to matter, from city-wide renewable energy programs to large-scale divestment from fossil fuels.
The old environmental playbook of "reduce your carbon footprint" has reached its limits. Real change happens when we stop acting alone and start acting together. A CALL TO ACT connects you to the communities and organizations that can actually move the needle on climate change the rampant destruction of our environment.
