excerpt from Ishmeal by D.Quinn

"There is a sort of tendency in evolution, wouldn't you say? If you start with those ultrasimple critters in the ancient seas and move up step by step to everything we see here now -- and beyondd -- then you have to observe a tendency towards ... complexity. And toward self-awareness and intelligence. Wouldn't you agree?"

"Yes."

"That is, all sorts of creatures on this planet appear to be on the verge of attaining that self-awareness and intelligence. So, it's definitely not just humans that the gods are after. We were never meant to be the only players on this stage. Apparently the gods intend this planet to be a garden filled with creatures that are self-aware and intelligent."

"So it would appear. And if this is so, then man's destiny would seen to be plain."
"Yes. Amazingly enough, it is plain -- because man is the first of all these. He's the trailblazer, the pathfinder. His destiny is to be the first to learn that creatures like man have a choice: They can try to thwart the gods and perish in the attempt -- or they can stand aside and make some room for all the rest. But it's more than that. His destiny is to be the father of them all -- I don't mean by direct descent. By giving all the rest their chance -- the whales and the dolphins and the chimps and the raccoons -- he becomes in some sense their progenitor ... Oddly enough, it's even grander than the destiny the Takers dreamed up for us."
"How so?"

"Just think. In a billion years, whatever is around then, whoever is around then says, 'Man? oh yes, man! What a wonderful creature he was! it was within his grasp to destroy the entire world and to trample all our futures into the dust -- but he saw the light before it was too late and pulled back. He pulled back and gave the rest of us our chance. He showed us all how it had to be done if the world was to go on being a garden forever. Man was the role model for us all!'"

"Not a shabby destiny."

"Not a shabby destiny by any means. And it occurs to me that this..."

"Yes?"

"This gives a little shape to the story. The world is a very, very fine place. It wasn't a mess. It didn't need to be conquered and ruled by man. In other words, the world doesn't need to belong to man -- but it does need man to belong to it. Some creature had to be the first to go through this, had to see that there were two trees in the garden, one that was good for the gods and one that was good for creatures. Some creature had to find the way, and if that happened, then ... there was just no limit to what could happen here. In other words, man does have a place in the world, but it's not his place to rule. The gods have that in hand. Man's place is to be the first. Man's place is to be the first without being the last. Man's plave is to figure out how it is possible to do that -- and then make some room for all the rest who are capable of becoming what he's become. Not the only teacher, not the ultimate teacher. Maybe only the first teacher, the kindergarten teacher -- but even that wouldn't be too shabby. And do you know what?"

"What?"

"All along, I've been saying to myself, 'Yes, this is all very interesting, but what good is it? This isn't going to change anything!'"

"And now?"

"This is what we need. Not just stopping things. Not just less of things. People need something positive to work for. They need a vision of something that ... I don't know. Something that ..."

"I think what you're groping for is that people need more than to be scolded, more than to be made to feel stupid and guilty. They need more than a vision of doom. They need a vision of the world and of themselves that inspire them."

"Yes. Definitely. Stopping pollution is not inspiring. Sorting your trash is not inspiring. Cutting down on flurocarbons is not inspiring. But this ... thinking of the world in a new way... This..."
I let it go. What the hell, he knew what I was trying to say.

Reasons I rated 5/5

I have been listening to this podcast from the very beginning. If there is one thing I look forward to every week, it's the release of a new episode (if I am unfortunate enough not to catch the show being recorded live). They cover most of the subjects that I care about, they have a great interaction with their audience/fans and they seem to be just having fun! They don't do the show to see their audience numbers rise (though I promote them every chance I get), they broadcast for the simple joy of communicating with each other and with us (the loyal followers). I don't always agree with their opinions on certain things, but when that comes up we can discuss it and not argue about it - and we come away with (or at least I do) a wider sense of how the world is seen/experienced and are the better for it.

Do I recommend this show to you? Yes, wholeheartedly. Will you enjoy it? Well now ...... if I could predict that I'd be doing better things with my life (and more profitable as well). Let's just say that if you have interests in games, geek things, internet shenannigans, music, and life in general then it can't hurt to give this show a try.

Great show, great contrast

If you think the show is great, try hopping in the live chat some time.
