The GoodOne With Onomen

The Re-Imagining Series A Series of short, insightful podcasts that seeks to force us to reimagine a world where the systems that undergird it were not as fixed and rigid as they seem but instead flux and moldable like palm trees in a storm. Episode 1. Welcome to another episode of the GoodOne with Onomen Asikele. Today I will be introducing you to a new series that I aptly titled, the re-imagining series. Its a series of short and what I hope will be insightful podcasts that seeks to force us to reimagine a world where the systems that undergirds it were not as fixed nor rigid as they seem, but instead, flux and moldable like palm trees in a storm Reimagining Health & Well being For the Ancient Greek, wealth of body and mind far outweighed the quest for material wealth and societal status. As a practical matter, the wealthiest and most noble in the society were regarded albeit erroneously as the more healthy of the populations in all of mind, spirit and body. Fast forward a few thousand millennia and we…

In this episode from our Surviving Covid-19 series, we will be talking about some ideas on how to manage working remotely and being better prepared to re-enter the workforce. Whenever that becomes available again. To put this in context, we are living in unprecedented times. None of us have ever experienced what we are currently going through. None of us. There has never been at least in recent recorded history, a reality such as this. We have never and I mean the entire world, or at least most of it, have never had to impose simultaneous enforced lockdowns and quarantines. Never. Look it up, you will get the picture. Let that sink in for a moment. We are living in unprecedented times. If this isn’t a wake up call, then I don’t know what is.... * That worst thing that could happen is letting a good lockdown go to waste. * Be prepared to reveal a more improved version of you when this is behind us. * Always keep up with the latest information from your local health agencies and governments. Stay safe and hope…

CoronaVirus (Covid-19) is especially fatal to those living with pre existing conditions, otherwise known as co-morbidities. The mortality rate amongst those with compromised immune functions has been determined to be higher than those of the general population. I sit down today with Dr Paul Okhumale, an associate professor of Cardiology at Marshall Health in Huntington, WV. Background Although the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention doesn’t release coronavirus data by race, city and state data indicates that COVID-19 cases are heavily concentrated in the Black population. According to WBEZ, an NPR news source In Chicago, 23% of residents are Black but account for 58% of COVID-19 deaths. Another survey published by ProPublica, reveals that In Milwaukee, Blacks are roughly one-quarter of the population and roughly one-half of COVID-19 cases. In Louisiana, 7 out of 10 COVID-19 victims have been Black. Coronavirus hot spots include a number of cities with large minority populations, such as New…

Every week we will seek to challenge and hopefully deconstruct the orthodoxy and dogma that underpins the very fabric of life as we have come to know and accept it. We will do this with much deference to the plurality of mainstream thought that abounds, while asking the very tough questions and seeking to answer them, armed with commonsense and with logic. As the saying goes, a philosopher is only as effective as the reaches of their mind.
