No Nation is Above the Law - Bill Blum, Aura Kanegis, Mark Oettinger, David Gallup

The International Court of Justice (ICJ) ordered Russia to “immediately suspend” its invasion of Ukraine.  4 experts will discuss what it will look like when we evolve a future in which no nation or national leader is above the law.  Can you imagine what the future will look like if we, the people, used our economic and nonviolent power to enforce world law?  How could we enforce the recent World Court ruling against Putin’s invasion?  Imagine implementing Kellogg Briand in which Russia, USA and 60 other countries outlawed war!

    The part where he mentions that he wants to be adopted by a more functional family even at 45 yrs really hits home. Really delineates how no matter how old and independent you are, you still need love and support.

    Albert Einstein said, 'If you can't explain it simply enough, you haven't understood it well enough'.Dr Andrew brings such simplicity to explaining the workings of the brain. It's actually a hacker's guide into our own brain. You are doing great service to humanity Dr Andrew.

    I find these weekly podcasts to be super inspirational, they seem to always motivate me to look at my purpose. Matt not only brings in his personal life experiences but he delivers them in such a way that they are relatable.
