One of the reasons we think we're these selfish and greedy people is that a very high proportion

of those who govern us are psychologically atypical.

We're broadly speaking we're a society of altruists governed by psychopaths.

Welcome to the Doctor's Kitchen Podcast with me, Dr. Rupi, where we discuss food, lifestyle, medicine and how to improve your health today.

The title is Creating Accidental Activists to Improve Health in a Post-Pandemic World.

That might sound confusing but bear with me you'll learn a lot more about accidental activists in this podcast episode.

As we witness an improvement in the crisis there I say and anticipate the relaxation of social distancing,

I wanted to talk about the opportunities to learn and to reform our political systems that globally have revealed themselves to be woefully unprepared and slow to respond.

Now instead of pointing the finger after the fact I actually think we should use this as an opportunity to try and recuperate the losses both emotionally, physically and financially by trying to cultivate the opinions of thinkers from around the world who have long documented the unfolding crises in society that are going to be a problem.

This is a society that I've now sped technically revealed themselves to us.

George Mombio doesn't really need an introduction, he's an author, a guardian columnist, an environmental campaigner, his books include Ferrell, rewilding the land, sea and human life, and out of the wreckage, new politics for an age of crisis which is his latest book and something that was written three years ago but I can't think of any other book that has really touched me in this way for a long time.

It is definitely a book I would recommend reading particularly right now because I think it poses a lot of opportunity to rethink the narrative around our political landscape and what we can do to change our lives going forward post-pandemic.

On this podcast we talk about a whole bunch of different subjects, how to harness intrinsic human values of kindness to foster well-being in society, how the evolution of humans would have required community and kindness to survive rather than the prevailing narrative of individualism and inequality.

We do talk about politics and neuroliplism and I don't regard myself as someone who is politically motivated or interested in politics but this podcast actually made me realize just how politically active I am and perhaps not in the sense that I thought I was before.

We do address alienation loneliness which I think are the defining conditions of our time as well as the rise of social initiatives and accidental activism.

What I think is an opportunity to build a different economy and big organisation in the wake of the pandemic and big organisation will go into that in the podcast and you will learn a lot more about how collective action can yield huge, huge benefits to us.

I really hope you enjoy this conversation, it's a little bit different from what I'm used to doing but I think it's definitely going to touch a nerve with you listening to followed me long time now and I think it's a really important discussion to be had right now as well.

On to the podcast.

I'm a very happy person and I love Las Vegas, I did my first skydive over the Nevada desert, seeing the strip from afar as well as up close and personal during the incredible nights and days, experiencing everything the city has to offer the restaurants are phenomenal and more than catered for my healthy preferences.

Although I absolutely indulge in some more frivolous offerings at the win and the cosmopolitan hotel.

Pass the shows, entertainment and general buzz at the city at night with something I'll never forget.
