OYM Ep. 86: Save the Land Lines! Why LandLine Phones are Safer and Better with Josh Hart of SavetheLandlines.org

<p>Josh Hart of SaveLandLines.org joins us for a discussion on landlines, why they are safer and more reliable and why we need to protect our right to access them.</p><p>If you live in California, you can support this cause by attending one of the hearings taking place on the telecommunications industry's efforts to eliminate landlines.</p><p>The second round of Public Utilities Commission Public Participation Hearings are taking place <strong>April 30th</strong> at SantaRosa City Council Chambers at 2 PM or 6 PM.</p><p>Remote hearings are being held on <strong>April 17, May 5, or May 13.</strong></p><p>Go to www.SaveLandLines.org for more information.</p><p><br /></p><p><strong>Points to consider:</strong></p><p><br /></p><p>--<strong>Cell phones emit radiation </strong>and have been linked with tumor growth and some cancers:</p><p>https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7663653/</p><p>https://news.berkeley.edu/2021/07/01/health-risks-of-cell-phone-radiation/</p><p><br /></p><p>--As more people become dependent upon (some would say "addicted to") smartphones, <strong>many people are losing their ability to focus</strong>, think deeply and navigate the world. Some research suggests that regular smartphone and social media use are diminishing creativity and mental health, particularly in young people who are unaware that alternatives to this technology exist:</p><p>https://www.businessinsider.com/smartphones-gen-z-creativity-attention-jonathan-haidt-anxious-generation-careers-2025-1?op=1</p><p>https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35907700/</p><p>https://www.cam.ac.uk/research/news/cambridge-leads-governmental-project-to-understand-impact-of-smartphones-and-social-media-on-young</p><p><br /></p><p>--Landline phones are <strong>more reliable </strong>during <strong>power outages,</strong> are not addictive, not emitting harmful radiation, and conversations are not as easily surveilled.</p><p><br /></p><p>--Cell phones pose serious <strong>privacy risks</strong>. Whistleblowers such as Edward Snowden have warned of the surveillance capabilities of smartphones.</p><p><br /></p><p>--<strong>People with disabilities and the elderly </strong>in particular often have difficulties utilizing the many functions of smartphones and are being excluded from fully participating in society when smartphone use is required.</p><p><br /></p><p>--<strong>Some people are particularly</strong> <strong>sensitive to EMFs</strong> and find that they cannot use cell phones on a regular basis. </p><p><br /></p><p>--Knowing this, <strong>why are smartphones being forced upon us</strong>? In some communities, people are required to use a smartphone and scan a QR code in order to park a vehicle or obtain information, for example. Is this not a form of discrimination?</p><p><br /></p><p>Smartphones were fun when they were optional but now that they're being forced on us, it's just not fun anymore. We have to resist, people!</p><p>If you live in WNY, Spectrum offers a "home" phone. It is a VOIP phone, not a traditional landline, but it does offer a safer alternative to the smartphone for those who are concerned about these issues. </p><p>Wherever you are, PLEASE put pressure on your local politicians to require telecom companies to provide landlines to those who request them.</p><p>#oym #occupyyourmindpodcast @oym @occupyyourmindpodcast</p>

OYM Ep.85: Holiday Season is the time to be kind (even though we always should be)

<p>Greetings!</p> <p>This episode was recorded just a few days before Christmas 2024, but most likely, you won't hear it until next year--2025!</p> <p>Since it's the holiday season, my thoughts wander in the direction of kindness, yes kindness!</p> <p><br /></p> <p>Most Americans suffer greatly from the lack of a strong, supportive community. A large percentage of Americans are taking antidepressants, anti-anxiety agents, and are reporting that they feel lonely and isolated. Some psychologists say that we're experiencing an "epidemic" of loneliness in the USA. This was true long before enforced lockdowns and fear mongering that took place in 2020 and that further isolated and marginalized some people.</p> <p><br /></p> <p>With an increase in technology addiction and many Americans being unable to wean themselves off of their "smart" phones and off of social media, I fear that this loneliness epidemic will increase and spread.</p> <p><br /></p> <p>However, one way we can feel less lonely, less depressed, to make a positive change in our environment, to hold onto our humanity, and to start thinking critically again is to connect with other people. Can we do it? I know I harp on this a lot, but it is very important. Many people hide behind an n95 mask, not because they're afraid of catching a nasty cold or flu but because they're afraid of the world! Yep, they're hiding their faces from the big, bad scary world--hiding their faces from you and me!</p> <p>Connecting with other people, letting them see our kind and friendly faces, is one way to help break the spell, to free the mask addicts (and ourselves) from the oppression of social isolation. </p> <p>Some other people claim to be "rugged individualists." They claim that being alone is freeing, empowering. But is it? Fact is, most people will conform under pressure when they feel outnumbered. It's easier to stand up for what we believe in when we know we have a team of people watching our backs. Ironically, it is easier to be a unique individual and feel self-confident when we have a support system and feel connected to others. Loneliness is a psychic killer. We want to hold onto our individuality but we also crave to belong.</p> <p>If you're alone during the holidays or missing a loved one, take heart. You aren't the only one. Why not reach out to others who feel alone? Practice random acts of kindness?</p> <p>We all influence each other, so your acts of kindness will spread. Wouldn't it be amazing if instead of a loneliness epidemic, we all created a kindness epidemic instead?</p> <p>Just a thought...</p> <p>Please like or share this podcast if you find it helpful or entertaining.</p> <p><br /></p> <p>#oym #occupyyourmind #occupyyourmindpodcast</p> <p>@oym @occupyyourmindpodcast</p> <p><br /></p> <p><br /></p> --- Support this podcast: <a href="https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/occupyyourmind/support" rel="payment">https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/occupyyourmind/support</a>
