We need a movement that will bring this system into being.\nIn this solo podcast, Manda explores what the baselines of a new system might look, feel and work like.\nManda's Substack post  https://substack.com/home/post/p-158280401\nJan Andrew Bloxham post https://substack.com/home/post/p-157874742\nJason Hickel 'No the US is not a beacon of democracy' https://substack.com/@jasonhickel/note/p-158661867\nIf you want to share the journey with us, we're here:\nAccidental Gods Gatherings https://accidentalgods.life/gatherings-2025/\nAccidental Gods Membership https://accidentalgods.life/join-us/","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/2fOWMRnTk9Jq1cMNEdZ2P6L9hSacKWpQNA4zTc1F1F4/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9jNjRl/ZmU1NTg1MWQ2NmFl/MzkzZGIzNjlhYTU4/OTM0NS5qcGVn.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
