#TBOT: Take Back Our Tech

⚡️Bio-Surveillance with Andrew Kaufman Is wearable technology creating an internet of bodies? In our latest #TBOT interview, I sat down with Dr. Andrew Kaufman, a medical researcher who has firsthand experience with wearable biosensor technology. That experience gives him a unique perspective on the rapidly expanding Internet of Bodies and the risks that come with connecting our bodies to the internet. “Gather the data first, and ask questions later” seems to be the modus operandi of the big tech companies steering the wearable industry, Andrew and I discuss how this fits into brainwave decoding, wearable biosensors, digital IDs, biometric surveillance, AI, and the growing push to gather massive amounts of personal data. How much of your health data are you willing to give away for convenience? 📺 Watch now on Substack 🎒Protect your student’s privacy this school year, check out Above's Back to School Sale — @takebackourtech Website | XMPP | Substack | X

⚡️The Great Elements Part 1 Join Hakeem and Nicole as they kick off a deep-dive exploration into what it takes to begin to practice and understand Ayurveda. Learning to experience Reality through your senses is essential, not only for an accurate health assessment, but to properly understand Doshas. Dosha theory is the most well-known aspect of Ayurveda and is often misunderstood and, because of that, improperly used. Ayurveda requires us to pay attention to perceivable Reality, and this podcast explores what it takes to do that. Comparing Eastern and Western approaches, Nicole talks about the value of assessing the elemental nature of an individual, and how that understanding will create avenues for healing otherwise absent from our current healthcare systems. You'll get to watch an endearing practice session with Hakeem's house plant, revealing how this process is both humbling and revealing. Enjoy! 📺 Watch on Substack 👉 Subscribe to Real World Ayurveda
