#11 ft. simón sosa: "this could never happen to us" - lessons from venezuela

here in the west, we somehow think we're immune to dictatorships. but when Simón Sosa (@simon.sosab) shares his experience from venezuela, from his childhood to when hugo chávez and later nicolás maduro rose to power, we realize - nobody is safe. this can happen to us, too. and it will, if we don't pay attention. this episode covers his personal experience and offers a timely reflection on instability, warning signs, and what global decline can look like in real time. if you want to support the people in venezuela, i invite you to donate to caritas venezuela [https://caritasvenezuela.org/donaciones/]. follow simon on instagram [https://www.instagram.com/simon.sosab/]. and reach out to him if you have any questions! support unbound the pod: follow https://www.instagram.com/unbound.thepod/ and ⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/kikilindenau/⁠⁠⁠ and upscrolled ⁠⁠⁠https://share.upscrolled.com/en/user/c8a1197d-8a24-4f2d-8ef4-85aca25fa447⁠⁠⁠ intro & outro music by krakau time stamps: 00:00 intro and welcome 00:44 growing up in venezuela 02:16 the rise of hugo chávez and what it changed 06:05 how to ruin a country 101 07:25 the rise of the military 09:01 when you leader ruins your retirement 12:46 nicolás maduro grabs the reigns 15:46 reacting to trump invading venezuela 19:07 the reality of living under a dictatorship 20:54 some rules have to be broken 22:44 what the west can learn from venezuela 25:23 the importance of education 29:09 what does it mean to be human?

#10: feminism is not about women, it's about truth

what if we've been reading history with half the pages torn out? that's the question riane eisler asks in the chalice and the blade — and once you see it, you can't unsee it. if half the population has been systematically excluded from how we study, interpret, and understand the past, we don't just have a bias problem. we have a truth problem. in this episode, we get into her cultural transformation theory, what prehistoric art and venus figurines actually tell us about early human society, and why the assumption that "humans have always been violent" might be one of the biggest lies we've ever been told. spoiler: goddess-worshipping, partnership-model societies existed. and they were peaceful. this one will mess with your worldview in the best way. want to learn more? i'm working on a substack article so make sure you ⁠subscribe⁠ [https://kikilindenau.substack.com/subscribe]. resources: - The Chalice and the Blade [https://peacefromharmony.org/docs/Riane-Eisler-The-Chalice-and-The-Blade.pdf] - Riane Eisler - which we are currently reading in sarah's (@bysarahnoack) matriarchal study club [https://the-matriarchal-study-club.circle.so/untitled-page?utm_source=ig&utm_medium=social&utm_content=link_in_bio&fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQMMjU2MjgxMDQwNTU4AAGnpHRxNQC-va4u5ME4rkS9DZp6lVSFyQjy1aA3HjSbq-P5Lx1OpsTdSZ7JM8A_aem_NLcNvhaj1ZZTfVlSqoG7sQ] follow un|bound: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/unbound.thepod/⁠ [https://www.instagram.com/unbound.thepod/] and kiki ⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/kikilindenau/⁠⁠ [https://www.instagram.com/kikilindenau/] intro & outro music by krakau thank you for being here <3
