Responsibilities of Teaching, Preaching, Reporting, Writing, and Speaking Out

In the face of multiple, cascading crises—economic and ecological, political and cultural—it is more important than ever to confront the reality of the threats we face. Based on a calm apocalypticism and a common-sense approach to intellectual life, We Are All Apocalyptic Now offers a framework for understanding our moment in history and the obligations of those who are trying to communicate that understanding to a wider world.

Host Sylvia Richardson speaks to Robert Jensen about the recent truckers protest in Canada and the politics of division, how to respond to different world views for environmental change, how do we confront difference weather man or women or different cultures. How to think about cultural change in the modern world.

TIM BLACK FROM THE POPULAR TIM BLACK SHOW

Tim Black is Americas Most-Watched Black Independent Media in America on the Left.

Tim is the host and founder of Coffee with Tim Black, and the nightly, Tim Black Show political shows covering current events, elections and social issues since 2013.

They have a lively discussion about Dr Cornel West in the primaries, in particular how he was treated on the Jimmy Dore show, how Cornel running as a third party candidate affects the political landscape in the US.
How getting a big subscriber base has sometimes obscured us from seeing the bigger picture as far as social change. How party loyalty and ideology has got in the way of real authenticity. How having principles sometimes requires us to pay a price among our peers.
