Advocate for Humanity with Dennis Sandow

<p>Dr. Fred first met Dennis Sandow through an online course he took from Humberto Maturana’s organization, Matríztica. </p> <p>Dennis Sandow was completely unprepared for what he encountered when as a college student in the 1970s he visited a state institution for people with developmental disabilities. Shaken and shocked by the experience, Dennis made an oath to dedicate his life’s work to closing such institutions. He then worked as a scientist-practitioner in the liberation movement of people with developmental disabilities, providing evidence that they could live outside institutions and within communities. This led to a cascade of inspiring experiences in defense of humanity. Much of the episode also centers around the work of Dennis’ friend and colleague, the Chilean biologist-turned-philosopher, Humberto Maturana. </p> <p>Here is some of what you’ll learn from Dr. Fred’s fascinating conversation with Dennis Sandow:</p> <ul><li style="font-weight:400;">The insidious connection between asylums and the eugenics movement</li> <li style="font-weight:400;">Dennis’ startling discovery as he set out to collect an evidence base for the productivity of a "non-productive" population</li> <li style="font-weight:400;">The limitations of “logic theory,” and how analysis “kills” the world around us</li> <li style="font-weight:400;">How Humberto Maturana’s work leads to “lifting the psychic curtain”</li> <li style="font-weight:400;">How Dr. Fred uses his "capacity to reset"</li> </ul> <p> </p> <p>Episode Length: 1:04:39</p> <p> </p> <p>DENNIS’ RESOURCES</p> <p><a href='https://reflexus.org/'>reflexus.org</a></p> <p> </p> <p>Matríztica (Humberto Maturana’s organization) > <a href='http://www.matriztica.org/'>http://www.matriztica.org</a></p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p>WELCOME TO HUMANITY RESOURCES</p> <p> </p> <p>Podcast Website >  <a href='http://www.welcometohumanity.net/podcast'>www.welcometohumanity.net/podcast</a></p> <p>Free Creative 8 audiobook > <a href='http://www.welcometohumanity.net/creative'>www
