Part 2 of Dennis Meadows presentation. Essential input to understand what is going on now, how this works, why things are so slow and what the dangers are we are facing. The analogy is striking. The predictions frightening. What did we do in these past 50 years? Where are all the students that were inspired by Meadows and the Limits to Growth? I can say that I am a product of the ‘70. I listen to www.radioparadise.com and notice a lot of good music is from the 70s and a lot of current music has roots in the 70s. There is before and after the 70s.

"Hope/Currency" is a commissioned work by Creatives Garage, bringing together rPH, an electronic music producer/DJ, and Kins of Spade, a poet/spoken word artist, both based in Nairobi, Kenya. The collaboration serves as a response to Kenya's evangelical Christian culture, which wields significant influence in society. Drawing from their personal experiences growing up in religious families, the artists utilize samples of publicly available speeches by prominent evangelical figures, as well as the eccentric voices emerging from the church's more extreme fringes. This sonic landscape is complemented by Kins' candid and introspective words, along with rPH's raw and unconventional production, resulting in a compelling artistic statement. The outcome is a compilation consisting of five tracks that delve into various subjects including personality cults, sexual and financial exploitation, political ambition, and power dynamics. Scheduled for digital-only release in May 2023, the compilation is presented by Noland, an independent label based in Berlin (noland.fm). link;https://lnkd.in/dXAZCWu3
