The Other Others

Through the Deakin University Indigenous Knowledge Systems Lab, we have unlikely, borderline seditious and kind of inappropriate yarns with surprising people about how an Indigenous complexity science lens can be applied to solving the world’s most wicked problems. There’s gold at the margins, but almost no trigger warnings, so enter at your peril. Podcast artwork “Blackfulla Ratatouille” by Baradha woman Eden Thomas. Intro music by The Murri Ghibli Fangirls.

I guess in the end riches are made of stored relational energy from unequal exchanges. True wealth may be best described as an increase in relations, rather than growth in the surplus energy produced by them. This would be the difference between a growth-based and increase-based economy. We cautiously find ways in this yarn to imagine a pricing mechanism for nature. Dams may be evil, but the water in them is just water. Maybe money is the same way. JD, JMB, Chels 2Deadly Marshall, me and Josh the Gamilaroi bandit awkwardly grapple with fire-side economics and there’s not a lot of answers, except to the troubling problem of rich people freezing their heads.

Jack’s back! Jack Manning-Bancroft from AIME, Indigenous CEO (a real one, not just one of these people who start a dog-washing business and put CEO on their LinkedIn profile) has the hard yarns about taking the woo-woo out of innovation, creativity and imagination, while still retaining a shred of hope and wonder.

Jack and I, fresh from the lab, yarn with renowned evolutionary psychologist Robin Dunbar. We figure out why, if Robyn arrived on a donkey, Jack would of course assist Robyn (as Jack’s senior) off the donkey. But then, if the roles were reversed, would Robyn be obliged to help Jack off a donkey? Stick around for all these ancient lessons and more, from why a reputation-based economy might be a bad idea, to how come I cried when Dolph Lundgren passed away, when I hadn’t seen the fella since Rocky 4? And of course, the ultimate question of civilisation – can anything ever be good again after being scaled beyond the local? It’s all in the numbers.

Making of a Hoodie Podcast

Join us for the Making of a Hoodie Podcast where we meet with unlikely connections from around the world and design a hoodie, that symbolises and encapsulates their journey, and becomes a garment that inspires us all to reach, drive and surge for a fairer world.

Hosted by Jack Manning Bancroft, the founder of AIME Mentoring, the podcast dives deep into our guests stories and and how that relates into the theme of the episode before jumping into the hoodie design lab to create a hoodie. The hoodies are made to order alongside the podcast and all the funds raised go back into the AIME program, helping marginalised kids reach educational parity and beyond and to fund the various projects spotlighted in each episode.

This episode we approach a vital conversation about the importance of systems change in mental healthcare. We’ll explore the power of sharing our experiences and learn how people with mental illness can work together to build supportive communities and a healthcare system that truly meets our needs.
