I love this and sure your poem "Empathy is nothing" will survive. We got a lot to chew on and to share. ❤

I'm a patron of you Amanda and I feel like sitting in the front row of your audience. Thanks for that.

Lines

Written by Moira Smiley & Seamus Egan in response to ongoing, violent displays of white supremacy across the United States, this song asks how we can go on... singing, making things, making art and truly listening to each other.

Days Of War feat. Sam Amidon

Amanda Palmer presents an intimate conversation with Eli Pariser, recorded July 24, 2019 in Edinburgh, Scotland.
 
Eli Pariser wants to make technology and media serve democracy, instead of the other way around. He is an author, activist, and entrepreneur who became executive director of MoveOn.org in 2004, where he helped pioneer the practice of online citizen engagement. Eli is also the co-founder of Upworthy, a website for meaningful viral content, and Avaaz, a global citizen's organization. His book, “The Filter Bubble: What the Internet Is Hiding from You” not only introduced the term “filter bubble” to the world, but also kicked off a conversation about online discourse that has only become more pressing. He is the author of two TED Talks that focus on social media’s responsibility to the greater good. He currently co-directs, with Talia Stroud, the Civic Signals Project, which aims to support the creation of more flourishing digital public spaces. Check out his recent piece in Wired about how to create public spaces online.  
In this episode we talk about how we should attribute people’s actions to their situation instead of their character, controlling your environment to change your behavior for the good, applying urban planning theories to The Internet, inviting in the things you want in your life, why it is so hard to be an artist in America, having empathy for people you don’t agree with, the struggle to raise children with the right amount of determination and grit, and how shame is a cultural tool to create conformity.

Eli Pariser: How We Can Actually Use the Internet for Good Things

Amanda Palmer presents an intimate conversation with Jamil Zaki, recorded remotely on April 11, 2019 in Woodstock, NY and Stanford, CA.

Jamil Zaki is a professor of psychology at Stanford University and the director of the Stanford Social Neuroscience Laboratory. By combining psychology and neuroscience, Jamil and his colleagues study how empathy works, and ultimately how we can empathize with each other more effectively.

Jamil is the author of "The War for Kindness: Building Empathy in a Fractured World."

Jamil’s 2017 TEDxMarin Talk is entitled “BUILDING EMPATHY: How to hack empathy and get others to care more.”

His writing has appeared in The New York Times, The Washington Post, The New Yorker, and The Atlantic.

We talked about how to flex your empathy, art as a performance enhancing drug for empathy, post traumatic growth, and the high wire act of having empathy for those who cause us harm.

Jamil Zaki: Tuning Your Empathy Fork

Amanda Palmer presents an intimate conversation with Storm Large, recorded June 11, 2019 in Portland, OR.

Born in Southborough, MA, Storm graduated from the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in New York before moving to San Francisco and later to Portland, which she now calls home. Storm is the co-lead vocalist for the band Pink Martini along with China Forbes. Her band, Storm and the Balls, has toured the world, playing mash-up covers of rock hits of the ’70s and ’80s.

In 2006, she appeared as a finalist on the CBS show Rock Star: Supernova

Her musical one-woman show, Crazy Enough, premiered to rave reviews in 2009 and spawned her autobiography of the same name in 2012.

In 2014, her band, Le Bonheur, released a self-titled album of classics from the American Songbook.

In this episode Storm and I discuss growing up in Massachusetts, the isolating horrors of writing a book, our shared obsession with Madonna, imposter syndrome, and parallel parking as a feminist statement.

Storm Large: Knowing Who You Are Not

Amanda Palmer presents an intimate conversation with Tim Ferriss, recorded March 15, 2019 in Austin, TX.

Tim Ferriss is a best-selling author, speaker, early-stage technology investor, advisor, and host of one of the most popular podcasts in the world, The Tim Ferriss Show.

Tim’s books include, “The 4 Hour Workweek,” “The 4 Hour Body,” and, “Tools of Titans.”

He has two TED Talks: “Smash fear, learn anything” and “Why you should define your fears instead of your goals.”

In this interview we talk about how you can’t avoid some people taking it personally, the fear of the word "no", freeing yourself to ask anything, how you get what you negotiate for, inoculating yourself against dread, our love for the fast "no", and learning that being productive and successful doesn’t always have to hurt.

Tim Ferriss: The Fear of No

seize the night and hold me down in pride
waste my time but everything is fine
spew such lies are you feeling tongue tied
well the pain has died since i took out your knife 

and so im free to fix my life

and maybe this time ill be foolproof 
don’t wanna fall for fake news
and if i ever do
i’ll remember to remember why I ran away from you

it’s no mistake id rather take this rode
but i was too kind to let you go
far from the line you reap what you sow 
but a new start for me is what i owe

because im free to take whats mine

and maybe this time ill be foolproof 
don’t wanna fall for fake news
and if i ever do
i’ll remember to remember why I ran away from you

secrets arent meant to make lies
it’s the part you keep inside
and i’d stay waiting when you’d hide
except your excuses were objectifying

but now im free to choose whats right

and maybe this time i’ll be foolproof 
don’t wanna fall for fake news
and if i ever do
i’ll remember to remember why I ran away from you

and maybe this time i’ll be foolproof 
don’t wanna fall for fake news
and if i ever do
i’ll remember to remember why I ran away from you

Foolproof
