#9 Zak Stein: Avoid AI dystopia, solve the metacrisis. Education beyond schooling. The Eye of Value.

We start 2025 with a new episode of Motions, and again with my personal approach to ambient, dub and deep techno. A DJ set made with special care to listen to with your eyes closed and dance lying down.🫶

Motions is the musical proposal that comes as radioshow available in many online platforms, and where its dj, Oncina, head of Cenital Music, brings us his broad and eclectic vision of underground electronic music. From Techno to Ambient, going through deep house, disco, chill, tech... New tunes, forgotten jewels, classics and unknown songs. Music to dance and music to relax. Without limits and without ties.

Motions Radioshow #8 by Oncina

In this episode, we welcome Tom Nixon, author of Work with Source, to explore the powerful yet often overlooked idea of “source” - as the person who first conceives and commits to a creative initiative - and the impact such a role has on organizations. 
Drawing from his extensive experience advising founders and mission-driven projects, Tom helps us unpack what it truly means to hold the role of source - beyond conventional leadership, and as he puts it, “being the author of the story that unfolds.” 
Together, we explore how organizations can enable a deep human dimension behind all authentic ventures, and work towards a truly regenerative and evolutionary way of organizing.

While many conversations around leadership focus on structure, roles, or decision-making, this episode looks at a deeper assessment of where creative initiatives truly begin - and how they should maintain coherence as they evolve. 
Tom Nixon introduces us to the subtle but powerful idea of “source”  as the unique origin point from which meaning, direction, and integrity flow.
We explore how the source perspective can help us navigate complexity, and why the source is simply not a “genius hero” figure, as we presume.
He also helps us unpack more regenerative, emergent, and resilient ways of working together. So, for listeners looking to understand the creative dynamics that often hide behind hierarchical organizational structures - and why honouring the human in a project is highly strategic - this conversation is a source of guidance. 

Key Highlights
👉 The idea of source reframes leadership as a creative, intuitive role - the one who first sees and commits to a new possibility.
👉 Beneath formal org charts and policies lies the creative field - an energetic structure established by the source, which can’t be captured by governance documents but is deeply felt. 
👉 Many people think the “source” is a visionary genius who always knows what to do - but that’s a myth. In reality, being the source means holding the responsibility for the creative edge, often with doubt and uncertainty. 
👉 Regenerative organizing calls for living systems thinking - where purpose drives structure and growth emerges organically rather than being imposed top-down.
👉 Being the source is not about authority or control, but about holding the original impulse with integrity and enabling others to contribute meaningfully.
👉 Recognizing who holds the source in a project helps clarify roles, resolve tensions, and unlock greater flow and coherence within teams.
👉 Working with source calls for deep listening, intuition, and the courage to protect the original impulse - even when it's not yet fully understood by others.

BCP_S06_Ep15_Nixon_cut02

This lecture discusses key ideas from the 20th century German philosopher, sociologist of knowledge, and phenomenologist, Max Scheler's work Ressentiment, which provides an interpretation of Friedrich Nietzsche's concept of that same name. It focuses on on his discussion about how "value blindness" and "value delusion" figure into the dynamic of ressentiment. In the course of this discussion, Scheler references his earlier work Formalism in Ethics and Non-Formal Ethics of Values, where he develops these concepts in relation to hierarchies of values.

This lecture discusses key ideas from the 20th century German philosopher, sociologist of knowledge, and phenomenologist, Max Scheler's work Ressentiment, which provides an interpretation of Friedrich Nietzsche's concept of that same name. It focuses on his discussion at the end of the first section of how the ressentiment attitude develops by stages into a reversal and perversion of values which contravenes what Scheler calls an eternal hierarchy of values.

We sit down with two hilarious chicken mammas - Cindy and Amy, both residing in Tucson, AZ  less than 4 miles from each other's chicken coops! Who would think that these 2 women have been in our lives for 15+ years! We couldn't wait to "interrogate" them about their experiences raising chickens and how their flocks are very much like humans. We actually couldn't sleep the night before our recording because we were anticipating tons of laughter, and we weren't disappointed. Humor being something that right about now is very much needed and cherished in our world. 

Pour yourself a glass of wine or hard Kombucha...or a cup of tea...and listen in to how chicken raising came about for these two entrepreneurial women. We're not talking about just 2 or 3 chickens...we're talking about 30+ chickens combined!! Get ready for tales of pecking orders, backyard gossip, and mother hens with attitude!

We'd love to hear your comments. Contact us at: info@boomtalkmedia.com

How Chickens Are Like Humans with Amy and Cindy

Most men think attraction is something they earn by performing well. Saying the right thing. Looking the part. Acting confident.
But that mindset kills your power.

Attraction has always been about hierarchy — how you carry yourself, what energy you lead with, and whether she instinctively places you above or below her.
This video breaks down the real reason why women feel magnetised to certain men... and completely indifferent to others.

If you’ve ever felt like you were doing everything right and still not getting results — this explains why.

#445 - Attraction Isn’t About Performance - It’s About Hierarchy

This lecture discusses key ideas from the ancient philosopher and statesman Marcus Tullius Cicero's work, On The Nature Of The Gods, which critically examines Epicurean, Stoic, and Skeptic perspectives on matters of theology and cosmology

Specifically it focuses upon the presentation of Stoic cosmology and theology by Quintus Lucilius Balbus in book 2, and in particular on his discussion of how the things at the various hierarchically arranged degrees of being exist "for the sake of" (causa in Latin) other things. Plants, which are at the lowest level, are there for both human beings (as cultivated) and for animals, and the otehr non-rational animals exist for the sake of rational beings, which are human beings and the gods.

Metal Blade Records history by Dan Slessor:
Founded upon owner Brian Slagel's enduring drive to find great bands and get their music out to as many people as possible, since 1982 Metal Blade has brought wave after wave of powerful, innovative, and often genre-defining music to the ever-hungry metal masses. It is this ethos that has seen Metal Blade build up a stunning and diverse catalogue, weather the various storms facing any independent label, and in an age of declining record sales boast the most successful years of its existence as it strides into its fourth decade.

What perhaps makes this achievement all the more notable is the fact that Slagel never even intended to start a label. Working in an LA record store and writing for various publications, Slagel was acutely aware that many great bands in the local metal scene were being ignored, and he decided to release a compilation of tracks drawn from these ranks. "There were a lot of really good bands and I was just bummed out that nobody could hear them. It just seemed like I could help them out and have some fun at the same time, and that compilation was the first Metal Massacre," he states. Collating tracks from then unknown bands including Ratt, Bitch, Cirith Ungol, and Metallica amongst others, the compilation sold out immediately. "How important is Metal Blade to our career? They're only the reason we are enjoying the worldwide success we have today," states Metallica's James Hetfield. "Without Brian's openness to some raunchy teens with a crap sounding cassette tape we would be who knows where, and playing who knows what!" With the popularity of the tape spurring Slagel on, the first seeds of Metal Blade were sown. "After the success of those compilations I just started putting out records of bands that I was friends with, but without ever really intending it to be a label at all," he explains. "After I put out four or five releases I started to feel like something was happening, and I decided to quit the record store and quit college and see where it went."

Battling through the first few lean years, when the label consisted solely of Slagel working out of his mom's poorly ventilated garage in the San Fernando Valley, it gradually grew in both revenue and stature. Within a few years Metal Blade would go on to release the debuts of Slayer, Armored Saint, Trouble, and Corrosion Of Conformity amongst others, fanning the flames of the burgeoning metal scene and launching careers of bands that would go onto reap global success. "Without Metal Blade, there is a damn good chance we never would've made it out of L.A," says Slayer's Kerry King. "That was the one bit of luck we needed. You can be the most awesome band on the scene, and if no one notices you, you don't catch on. And Brian Slagel is still one of the biggest metalheads I know!" This genuine love and devotion to metal is central to the relationship many of the artists have with Metal Blade, and King Diamond credits much of its relevance and strength to this passion. "I refer to it as having 'boots on the ground'," the mighty Dane states. "It's not like a major label where some people might be into what you're doing but a lot of them just see it as a job – there's a genuine love for metal there. Through staying true to that and doing their own thing they've carved out a very specific niche that they control, and as an artist it's wonderful to be a part of that."over the years. Clearly without those people we couldn't do what we do, and to everyone out there who has helped us along by being a fan we are so very grateful to you."
