0:00.0	Hello and welcome to Under the Skin from Luminary. This week I spoke with Sebastian Junga. Sebastian Junga is an American journalist,
0:06.6	orphan filmmaker. He's known for his books, The Perfect Storm, a true story of men against the sea, war and tribe.
0:13.4	His book is called Freedom and it's out now. He's a fantastic writer and I often cite his book Tribe because of his description of our evolutionary history as a species
0:25.2	and the way that our social model should be reflective of that. Now that Under the Skin is on Apple Podcasts, please leave a review for us,
0:31.2	telling us how good we are and giving us five stars. You don't need to mention Jenny Mayfinn if it helps you.
0:36.2	We'll read them out. Like for example this one, Russell, go on, good podcast. If you'd like to listen to the rest of this podcast,

1:21.2	we do that localism and then necessity for decentralising power. We want to get money out the system. We both agreed on that. Have a listen.
1:28.2	Trying to achieve equality with the annihilation of category is not successful.
1:34.2	That's exactly right.
1:36.2	We're in this era where it turns out we were never the boss.
1:39.2	That's the little black knight you are.
1:41.2	What's beneath the surface of people with my ideas that define our time, the history we're told?
1:47.2	Welcome to Russell Brand.
1:50.2	Under this game.
1:52.2	The last 30, 40 years. I mean, I can't think of anyone who you feel like,
