Description

Cecily Dickey and Rita Rogers, co-hosts of the Boom Clap Podcast dive into the concept of transhumanism and the essence of being human. Together, they navigate the evolving relationship between humans and technology and its impact on our connection with ourselves and with nature. Delving into the allure of a highly artificial future, they shed light on the positive aspects of technological advancements. However, they also question the ethical implications of manipulating nature and the potential consequences of our actions. They emphasize the fallibility of technology and share instances where it has let us down. The transformative power of outdoor experiences becomes evident as they discuss the thriving nature of children when given the opportunity to connect with the natural world. They stress the importance of asking profound questions about our responsibilities towards future generations and the environment. Reflecting on the significance of limitations in defining humanity, they argue that limitations can be viewed as a gift, fostering growth and self-discovery. They delve into the complex notion of phasing out suffering and contemplate the ethical implications of seeking a pain-free existence. In conclusion, Cecily and Rita highlight the beauty found in our vulnerabilities and embrace the idea that being a little weak can have its own unique allure. Join us for an engaging episode that challenges conventional thinking and explores the intricate relationship between humanity, technology, and our natural world.

Childhood is finite at just shy of 9.5 million minutes. We only get one shot at it. One of the biggest decisions we make is how we will use that time. Research has confirmed time and time again that what children are naturally and unabashedly drawn to, unrestricted outside play, contributes extensively to every area of childhood development. The importance here cannot be understated. Every year we aim to match nature time with the average amount of American kid screen time (which is currently 1200 hours per year). Have a goal. Track your time outside. Take back childhood. Inspire others.
