In Extremists Being Awesome's first monthly installment of chats with awesome extremists, I talk to Lily Forester (Miranda Webb) of the HBO series "The Anarchists" about her journey of self development, how she uses her ADHD brain to accomplish more stuff, and what it means to realign in response to crisis.
Extremists Being Awesome is a productivity group for anarchists, voluntaryists, agorists, and other peaceful "extremists" who are focused on inner growth and accomplishing business and creative goals. We meet just about every day to encourage, motivate, and hold each other accountable, and to get shit done.

“Trust the experts.” “Believe the science.”
People who say this don’t fully understand how science works, or that experts are fallible and can be laughably wrong, or that sometimes great discoveries come from uncredentialed hobbyists.
To maintain an environment conducive to the pursuit of truth and discovery, freedom of thought and speech must be defended.
What has happened historically when scientific “consensus” excluded dissenting opinions, or even punished the experts who held them, has often been disastrous. And the same thing is happening again now.

Division, hatred, segregation. Families torn apart and friendships destroyed over differences of opinion about a virus. Health passports leading to a tiered society. Murmurs of detention centers for the hesitant.
No one in their right mind wants any of this.
I have an idea that could turn things around. We need a powerful statement that can echo throughout the world. Not a protest--no signs, no chants, no lists of demands. Just a voluntary collective action, emphasizing mutual respect, individual liberty, and unity—even if we disagree about everything else, we are united in this one truth: that we will not be made to hate and fear each other.
