To enhance our collective and individual consciousness is to raise our political potential. Developing consciousness is the first step towards creating radical change for our intense, enduring, and interrelated social issues. But political consciousness is not given, it is claimed. So, I ask you to claim it. May this podcast, these books, these articles, these authors, these songs, and these resources merely serve as a step towards your proclamation.
It is my belief that society can transform itself if the people can transcend themselves.
Nothing changes, if we as a people do not first change

This episode covers a book called Empire of Illusion by Chris Hedges. Dope book. It provides incredible perspective and insight on American culture, entertainment, the media, elites, and corporations. I highly recommend it, its not too long, very easy to read, and it effortlessly compels the reader to reflect on what they are consuming, the reality of the entertainment industry/media, and the power and facade of celebrities. This episode is intended to challenge listeners, break any held delusions, and challenge all to think critically and question the day to day consumptions based around entertainment, as well as to encourage all to stop idolizing celebrities, celebrity culture and to encourage empowerment of self, self awareness, and a re investment back into reality.
