#46 Better for All Collective

Ep46 Between the Ears - Better for All Collective
Welcome, I'm Arnold and I enable you to have a better life between the ears because your inner state creates your outer reality. Today's topic is better for all collectives. To the people who are listening to this podcast for a while now they have heard me say quite a few times that we want to do things which are better for all.

Better for all collectives, better for all communities, better for all countries, better for all leaders. That's what brain athletes are. So now I want to zoom in with the better for all collectives that I'm setting up.

What is a better for all collective? Above all it's a community of care where the participants design and implement better for all ways of learning, living and working. So where we work together and we grow together to create better for all ways of learning, living and working in your particular environment. That can be your neighborhood, it can be your city, it can be your country, it can be the world.

So I hope and I plan that you will join one of these better for all collectives. Currently there are better for all collectives being organized in Uganda, Nigeria, Ghana, Paraguay and the Netherlands. Why is that? Well the sad reason I would say because the people in charge of our countries, of our world, they're mainly focused on what I say better for a few.

They only are interested in making things better for themselves, their relatives, their family, their friends, their shareholders, people with a lot of money and who want to make a lot more money. While what I'm seeing, approximately half of the world population lives in poverty. Half of the world population doesn't know whether they can earn some money today, so they can buy some food tomorrow.

Half. We talk about four billion people. That's crazy and things are getting worse.

I see that in many developed countries, Western Europe, US, England, I see that the middle class is disappearing. So we only get this better for a few class, these they call them elite, I think there's nothing elite about them, who only take care of themselves and make sure that they earn more millions, billions and even the richest folks in the world, they call them trillionaires now, which is totally crazy. Because the money what these guys folks could earn, well earn, I don't think they earn it, it's what they get.

That money is something which could feed all the rest of the people in the world. So anyway, these better for a few class is not going to save us. They're only focused on themselves and I don't see any signs and I've been following this for years and years and years.

It's not going to change, actually is getting worse. So that is why we need to do it ourselves and we need to have these better for all collectives all over the world, where the focus is on bottom-up innovation. Yes, we need innovation, we need better ways for learning, living and working, because currently it's not working.

A lot of people, well look at what's happening with the environment, biodiversity, poverty, wars which are raging everywhere, energy prices, a lack of housing. I can go on and on, that's that's not the intent and I want to have some that we focus on solutions. And it doesn't work, well it never works to change things by fighting the existing reality.

To change something we need to build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete. So what I would like to say is that we create these better for all ways of learning, living and working in our communities and they will become successful and then it creates a ripple effect which can reach many, many more people and help many, many more people. The key principle for the work in a better for all collective is that we need to think for ourselves.

In the podcast, there were two series where I talked about the principles, but the principle number one is think for yourself. That's something which we're not taught because we're taught that the bosses, the government, the prime ministers, the kings, the queens, the people are pulling the strings in our society, they will think for us and we just have to be their slaves. No, that is what I said, that put us in this world which is currently what people call poli-crisis.

There are so many crises and these crises are impacting each other, they're not in isolation, they have impact all over the world. So no, we should take responsibility and think for ourselves and being responsible for the well-being of our community is our responsibility. Yes, I intentionally use the word responsibility.

Responsibility is in my view the flip side of freedom. We all want freedom, physical freedom, mental, emotional freedom, but it's just one part of the metal. The flip side of freedom is responsibility, is that I take responsibility for keeping it that way, that I take responsibility for making it better if a lot of people have no food or that people like in the Ukraine, young men were forced to go into the army in which it's already been known that they will survive only a few days.

A positive example what I've been seeing which is going on actually for quite some years and I think it I would say it's very successful is what's called homeschooling. There are many many parents individually but more and more they're also collaborating with other parents all over the world who are homeschooling their children. Why are they doing that? It's not out of luxury, it's because they see that the educational system doesn't work for their children.

Whether it's the knowledge which is shared, the capability of thinking for yourself, the looking at people's uniqueness rather than molding people in this red race of samification. They said no we're gonna do it differently, we're gonna homeschool our children. It's a huge responsibility but it works out fine because they're now already for years and years their children being homeschooled all over the world.

So I think that's a perfect example of a better for all collective. So my question to you is are you willing to set up a better for all collective in your community? I would love to hear from you and of course help and train you to do it. You can write an email to me with the address better for all collective at proton.me. Better for all collective at proton.me. So I hope that I will soon have a conversation with you about a better for all collective in your neighborhood.

Everyday beauty. We conclude each session with some examples of everyday beauty because beauty and especially moral beauty, kindness, courage, compassion has a very positive influence on your inner state. Here's a bad Japanese scientist who found bacteria in a tree frog's gut that wiped out cancer tumors in a single dose.

Yes you heard that correctly. There was a professor called Miyako and his team in Japan. They screened 45 bacterial strains from the intestines of a Japanese tree frog, fire belly newts and grass lizards.

Nine showed anti-tumor activity. One was extraordinary. A naturally occurring bacterium called a wingella isolated from a fox gut achieved a hundred percent tumor elimination rate in mice with collectoral cancer using a single intravenous dose.

I'm gonna repeat it. It achieved a hundred percent tumor elimination rate in mice with collectoral cancer using a single intravenous dose. That's incredible.

The bacteria didn't just destroy the tumors directly. It also triggered the animal immune system to join the fight. Producing what the researchers described as comprehensive tumor destruction.

It outperformed both immune checkpoint inhibitors and standard chemotherapy. Its safety profile was equally striking. The bacteria cleared the bloodstream within hours and showed zero colonization of normal organs.

This study published in Gut Microbes opens a new approach to cancer treatment built on the unexplored biodiversity of lower vertebrates like the frogs. Our study underscores the critical importance of microbiobiodiversity in advancing cancer treatment strategies the old road. And the team plans to expand to testing for breast cancer, pancreatic cancer and melanoma.

Remember we need your uniqueness. Be a better maker. For yourself.

For others. For the world.
