LIMINAL NEWS with Daniel Pinchbeck

THOM HARTMANN: I always enjoy my conversations with the political analyst and ecologist Thom Hartmann. A progressive national and internationally syndicated talk show host, Hartmann also writes a great Substack newsletter, The Hartmann Report. He's a New York Times bestselling author of 24 books. I particularly enjoyed his book The Last Hours of Ancient Sunlight, which inspired Leonardo Di Caprio’s film The 11th Hour (in which Thom appears), as well as the the movie Ice On Fire. You can learn about his many books and storied career on his website.
 
In this conversation, we discuss the fall-out from the election: Where we are now and what may happen next, and how accelerating warming and the environmental crisis could influence the near-future of civilization.

Jonathan Taplin | The End Of Reality?

BRETT SCOTT. Like everyone else, I notice the skyrocketing value of Bitcoin compared to anything else. On the one hand, feel uneasy about it, yet, on the other, I wonder if I should invest my paltry life savings into the stuff. Bitcoin seems to defy any economic law of gravity to keep going up, and up, unattached to anything tangible or real. To address my uneasiness, I spoke with Brett Scott, who writes the Altered States of Monetary Consciousness newsletter and is the author of a few books, including "Cloud Money: Cash, Cards, Crypto, and the War for Our Wallets and The Heretic’s Guide to Global Finance: Hacking the Future of Money". Brett is a friend, and one of my go-to people when I feel confused — bamboozled? — about cryptocurrencies and other money-related stuff. He helps set me straight.

Brett Scott | The Seductive Emptiness Of Bitcoin

Recently, investigative journalist and MAGA mainstay Laura Loomer was "deplatformed" on Twitter/X by Elon Musk, for comments about the H1B visas. Loomer describes herself as a "free speech absolutist" whose book, Loomered, chronicles how she was previously censored and banned by tech platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, and even UberEats. For many Leftists, this seemed a big "I told you so" moment: it was obvious to many on the Left that Trump was an opportunist whose alliegiance lies with the billionaire class. For Loomer and other MAGA members, there is a dawning sense of betrayal and perhaps the beginning of class consciousness, as it becomes clear that Trump's alignment with Musk could lead to a system of technocratic control without the free speech and support of American workers they were anticipating. The rift between the MAGA base and the tech billionaires who joined the campaign recently could be a bump in the road or a portent of more serious ruptures to come. https://x.com/LauraLoomer

Laura Loomer | Should Elon Musk Be King Of America?

Would the full deregulation of psychedelics be a good thing?
 
In today’s podcast, author Jay Michaelson and I discuss the rapidly evolving legal and cultural landscape of psychedelics, including their potential fast-tracking under the new Trump/Musk/RFK regime. Will deregulation — long a goal of advocates — make it more difficult to responsibly integrate these powerful substances into society? We also explore broader societal concerns, such as the erosion of democracy, systemic inequality, and the tension between technological advancement and cultural decay. I hope you enjoy it!
 
Michaelson is the author of ten books, including The Secret That Is Not A Secret and the National Jewish Book Award-winning The Heresy of Jacob Frank: From Jewish Messianism to Esoteric Myth. He is the Field Scholar at the Emory Center for Psychedelics and Spirituality and will be a visiting professor at Harvard Law School in Spring 2025. He holds a Ph.D. in Jewish Thought, a JD from Yale, among other degrees. He clerked for Judge Merrick Garland. As a journalist, his work explores the intersections of politics, religion, and ethics, appearing in Rolling Stone, The Forward, and his Substack, Both/And. He was also the Supreme Court columnist for The Daily Beast. Michaelson blends Jewish, Buddhist, and secular mindfulness traditions, frequently teaching at universities, companies, and religious institutions.

Ashanti Kunene is a South African storyteller, strategist, and art activist dedicated to decolonial education, social justice, and regenerative leadership. Born into South Africa’s born-free generation—those born after Nelson Mandela’s release—she has navigated the complex intersections of race, privilege, and cultural identity in a post-apartheid society. She has worked in the UN and other organizations, using narrative power to shift cultural consciousness and drive systemic change, and has been a speaker at global forums on youth leadership, climate justice, and African spirituality. With a background in anthropology and political science, Ashanti brings a unique perspective that blends indigenous wisdom, social activism, and spiritual awakening. She is passionate about Ubuntu—the African philosophy of interconnectedness—and sees the current global crises as part of a profound initiation process, requiring a radical shift in consciousness and action. Her work challenges Western paradigms of leadership and progress, advocating for community-driven, regenerative solutions that honor both ancestral wisdom and future pathways.

Ashanti Kunene | Life As Initiation

A recording of a joint Substack LIvestream on 2/21/25
 
“America's decline is not solely Trump's doing. Rather, this is the inevitable consequences of decades of Western economic and military dominance built on short-term exploitation, corruption, and global predation. Trump's role is to mask this systemic unraveling with populist rhetoric while enabling the true power holders, the transnational, financial, and corporate elite, or what Bolsen calls the anational owners and controllers of global financial capital, to consolidate their wealth, power, and control as America is hollowed out and broken.”

Marianne Williamson | Responding To Our Current Moment (Substack Livestream 2/21/25)

A recording of a joint Substack LIvestream on 3/1/25
 
I have been in intermittent contact with Nafeez Ahmed over the years. We are both systems theorists with many areas of overlap. What became clear during our dialogue is that we share a very similar — almost identical — analysis of the current geopolitical crisis. We also share a number of ideas about how to address it. 
 
Dr. Nafeez Ahmed is the founder of the Age of Transformation, a newsletter exploring what he calls ‘the planetary phase shift’ and Director of the System Shift Lab, a systems transformation consultancy based in London. A systems change expert, Ahmed has worked with some of the biggest organisations in the world, including United Nations agencies, national governments, Fortune 500 companies, and the world’s largest philanthropic foundations - helping to build and deliver high-impact change strategies. The Evening Standard has twice named Nafeez in its Power 1,000 list of the top most influential Londoners. His award-winning journalism, praised by the Sunday Times, The Guardian, The Independent and many others, has been read and watched by millions. His new book is "Alt Reich: The Network War to Destroy the West from Within (2024)": an investigative history of how the Nazi-aligned Pioneer Fund has given birth to a global far-right network on the cusp of subverting Western democracies.

Brett Scott is a campaigner, monetary anthropologist and former broker. He is the author of The Heretic's Guide to Global Finance: Hacking the Future of Money and Cloudmoney: Why the War on Cash Endangers Our Freedom. Brett has appeared in a wide range of TV shows, radio broadcasts and documentaries, including BBC World News and Sky News. He has written extensively on financial reform, digital finance, alternative currency, blockchain technology and the cashless society for publications like the Guardian, New Scientist, Huffington Post, Wired Magazine and CNN.com, and also publishes the Altered States of Monetary Consciousness newsletter on Substack.
 
Excerpt from our discussion: “One of the things I'm interested in right now in terms of the underlying ideologies or the seeming inconsistencies between them is something I was calling in my last piece, "fractal libertarianism." Again, I'm still unsure about this, but if you look at the underlying image in a libertarian worldview—which is a native cosmology in capitalism anyway—it’s of the solo islands, right? Each man is an island. This is the division that Margaret Thatcher put out: "There is no society, there are only individual men and women."

Brett Scott | Cryptocracy And Its Discontents (Substack Live 3/5/25)

For this episode, I speak with Gary Lachman, a prolific author on occult topics and an original member of the band Blondie, about his book, Dark Star Rising, which looks at the occult aspects of Donald Trump's rise (the Kek/Pepe phenomenon) as well as the connection between the resurgent Far Right and esotericism, including the popularity of "Traditionalists" like Rene Guenon and Julius Evola.
