Hello, I'm Charles Curves, Australasian passion provocateur.
Welcome to this week's episode of the Charles Curves Show, Episode 140.
In this week's episode, I explore the complexity of living systems and living things and the
tendency to simplify.
But simplicity often leads to instability.
In fact, most times it leads to instability.
We want simplicity, but the rush to simplicity to make our lives easier to understand often
ends up in disaster and death.
Human cells are complex.
The functioning of human cells in your body is complex.
Soil is complex.
The world's climate is complex.
Settling termites to save your timber is simple.
But without termites, our planet would struggle in many, many ways.
In fact, it wouldn't survive.
The solution is to embrace complexity and live with it.
Develop a mindset that is hungry to learn about complexity and to harness that complexity
to gain the rewards of deep understanding.
So welcome to this week's show, whether you're watching on YouTube, on Rumble, listening
via podcast.
We're happy that you're here.
Our format for the show is that firstly, I share today's big idea.
Then I share six resources to help you implement the thinking behind the big idea.
Thirdly, I review some key happenings during the past week.
And then the fourth part is for newer viewers and listeners where I cover some background
information about me and the foundational principles for this show.
Regular viewers and listeners know that detail, so they don't have to stick around for that
last bit.
So let's go with today's big idea.
All aspects of living things and life itself are complex.
Trying to find simple solutions to complex matters creates instability and chaos.
Let me give you three practical examples.
Firstly, termites in your house and spraying them.
It's a simple solution to spray the termites and kill them all.
Well, what would happen if there were no termites on the planet if we killed all the termites?
Well, the answer is soil.
Termites are fantastic soil engineers.
Many worms and termites and living things are wonderful aerators of soil.
Where we run around spraying and killing in a simple way a complex fact that soil is complex
and the way that termites play a role in soil, making it usable by human beings.
So not understanding that complexity, embracing the simple solution of just kill and spray
and kill causes significant instability.
Second example, cancer.
Cancer seems to be increasing despite all the money that's being put into it.
Cancer very simple solution.
Let's cut out the cancer.
Let's inundate the body with radiation and chemicals and kill the cancer.
Just like we kill the termites, kill the cancer.
However, many of you will know cases where the patient dies and the medical fraternity
says it was the cancer that killed him.
I say in many cases it's the treatment that killed the patient.
The human body, the functioning of human cells is incredibly complex and the medical profession
to its shame refuses to accept solutions and possibilities that are outside their existing
areas of thinking.
There's huge amounts of evidence for that.
So the simple solution causes great instability.
It causes people to collapse and of course to die.
The third example of complexity reduced to simplicity is that carbon dioxide in the atmosphere
is firstly causing global warming, then global, sorry, first global cooling in the 70s, then
global warming.
But when that fraud has disappeared, now it's a climate emergency.
Simple, isn't it?
CO2 up, climate emergency up.
I call BS on that.
There is no climate emergency.
The climate is incredibly complex.
To say that one factor, CO2, carbon dioxide, and then they're slipping into the methane
bit is causing climate emergency is simply fake.
It's BS.
If we embrace that principle of simplicity, oh, let's bring down the CO2, it's causing
massive instability.
Let me give you one example.
Cost of electricity is going up.
Affordability goes down.
Electricity is the foundational difference between rich and poor countries.
If GDP goes down, people become poorer.
Massive instability, everybody.
Complexity cannot be eliminated in many, many environments.
In some, of course, it can.
And that's wonderful to find those opportunities.
And my quote this week, I'll mention that later as well, but my quote this week is that
Albert Einstein, the great Albert Einstein recommended to make things as simple as possible,
but no simpler.
As simple as possible, but no simpler.
The human body is incredibly complex.
I've been dealing with doctors for many years.
In fact, 1975, I was a legal advisor to many doctors to help them minimize their income
tax.
And for the last 10 years, I've particularly had dealings with the health profession and
with wise, integrative doctors versus narrow minded, narrow minded, non thinking doctors
who simply follow protocols.
The human body is incredibly complex.
And doctors who say, oh, yeah, we understand all how it works.
I call BS on that.
Another element is soil.
Soil is incredibly complex.
Take a handful of soil.
My dad taught me this.
And you know, I love, I love the planet.
I love soil.
I love this planet that we're living on.
In fact, I've been an organic farmer since 1976.
Take a handful of living soil.
It's got millions of microbes in it, a fungi of bacteria.
It's incredibly complex.
And then we go and chemicalize that, spray it and kill it.
Kill all the living parts of it.
Kill all the cells of the soil in a way.
Soil is complex.
Climate functions is complex.
Climate and global weather patterns are complex.
Very complex.
Start to read in any depth on these matters.
You'll see how complicated it is.
This nonsensical idea, CO2 up, climate emergency up, is literally that nonsensical.
Then you get the further complex, the further complexity that the quality of the soil then
impacts on the quality of the food and that then impacts on the quality of the functioning
of your cells.
Garbage in, garbage out.
Put garbage food into your body, you will have a garbage result.
This is all so complex.
And we want to embrace simplicity so then the chemical companies come along, just spray
this, just nuke it with glyphosate.
Just put Roundup on it.
Just put more chemicals on it.
Just put fungicides, herbicides on it.
Let's just kill this stuff so that the only thing that grows is the seed that you put
in it.
Hello, that's not how nature works because nature is complex.
It's a complexity of interrelationships just like your cell.
So what's to be made of all this?
I say embrace complexity when appropriate.
Just like I'm embracing this cup of coffee.
Embrace it.
Don't be scared of it.
And then you say, well, I haven't got the time or energy.
Well, part of the challenge is to improve your health so that you have much more energy
available to you for you to learn about the areas of life that you are interested in.
You can't become an expert in all of it, but don't just accept slavish simple solutions
and then support those slavish simple solutions to the instability of humanity, the instability
of the planet, and more particularly the instability of your life.
Make your decision to embrace complexity.
Otherwise you will become unstable.
My wish for you is to be a man or woman of power, of integrity, of high self-awareness,
of understanding of what your life is about so you have that stability.
You embrace the complexity.
You live with the uncertainty of complexity.
It's a great way to live.
And when I picture the climate, the soil, the cells, the food, I get how wonderfully
complex I don't go how terrifyingly complex.
So let me share some resources for you.
The song this week, in one sense, I agree with half of the lyrics behind it.
It's by Midnight Oil, famous song, Beds Are Burning.
How can we dance when our earth is turning?
How do we sleep while our beds are burning?
So Beds Are Burning, it's a great song in the sense of the soil.
You know, we are damaging our soil.
And in Australia, in many countries of the world, the chemicalization of soil, there's
nothing to do with climate emergency.
This is to do with damaging soil.
And our whole lives come from this soil.
And the whole chemicalization process, chemicalization can be good in a number of ways, but the civil
simplicity of applying broad chemicals is causing us great harm.
And I mentioned before, look at the levels of cancer that are happening.
Look at the proven links between glyphosate and cancer.
So that's the song Beds Are Burning.
And as you listen to that song, think about, think about the complexity of the soil and
rejuvenating that soil, whatever you can do to play your part in rejuvenating your part
of the earth on which you walk.
My book this week is not so much a book, but a two part article by Dr. Rob Verkerk, who
I interviewed on my TNT radio show on vibrational frequencies.
So the book explores the electromagnetic structure of the human body.
It's available at a website for the Alliance for Natural Health International, anhinternational.org.
Anhinternational.org.
Look for those two articles, parts one and parts two.
It'll raise your whole awareness about the complexity of your human body, the energetics
of your human body, the electromagnetism of your human body and tools and resources
mentioned in those articles.
And he also talks about the resistance of the medical profession to learning about,
you know, learning what the medical profession was.
Woo woo.
Sure.
If medical profession doesn't like it, they criticize it as woo woo.
You might also listen to my interview with Rob, a two hour interview on TNT radio.
It's available at tntradio.live, where we go deep into these matters.
My health tip is to look up C60 capsules, carbon 60 capsules, which are getting lots
of rave reviews for detoxing.
And I would also recommend going to a health practitioner and being tested on a Vega machine,
V E G A.
Find a practitioner that uses this.
This is vibrational frequency testing to see what your body needs.
They're becoming very sophisticated.
Try it.
Check it out.
And it's a, it is a non opinion based testing mechanism for what's happening inside your
body.
It might be the 1% inside that you need.
My quote, as I mentioned earlier, is by Albert Einstein, make things as simple as possible,
but no simpler.
And that leads to my spiritual tip to encourage you to meditate on the complexity of your
desires, because one way in which you can embrace complexity for the human body and
soil and climate is to simplify your life.
Simplify your desires to be really clear about what you really want.
That's what the self awareness journey is about.
As Steve Wright famously said, you can't have it all.
Where would you put it?
So you have to make a decision and your self awareness says, I'm going to make my desires
as simple as possible.
So I'm more able to embrace complexity.
And then lastly, a spot of humor, a lawyer, an experienced lawyer comes up, comes up to
the young guy, the new employee in the law firm, standing beside the shredder.
And the lawyer has got two pieces of paper in his hand.
He says to the young guy, do you know how to work this thing?
And the young guy says, sure.
And so the lawyer gives the two bits of paper to the young guy and the young guy puts it
through the shredder.
As it's going through the shredder, the lawyer says, I'd just like two copies of that, please.
You see, the lawyer couldn't be bothered about learning about the different types of machine.
He wanted to keep his life simple.
He asked the wrong question.
He should have embraced a little bit more complexity.
The stuff ups that we all impose upon ourselves when we want to keep our lives simple.
So think about today's big idea of being willing to embrace complexity.
Don't fight for simplicity when it can't be present because it'll cause instability.
I think this will make a beneficial difference to your life.
It will remove your frustration that everything needs to be simple.
My aim for this show is to inspire you, motivate you, excite you about life.
About living the life of your dreams, a life that fulfills you, a life that you're clear about.
Where you have high levels of self-awareness about what that life would look like.
I invite you to subscribe to the podcast, to the YouTube channel, to the Rumble channel.

Now let's review some key happenings during the week.
I was very amused to see President Joe Biden and his State of the Union address.
Yes, it's remarkable how this absolute failure of a president shuffles around,
can't put a sentence together and people are pretending that he's making decisions.
He's just a puppet president there. Just keep observing that.
I've also had lots of referrals from people, references or links from people
who say that that is not actually Joe Biden.
Think and have a look at what he looked like.
Have a look at the material online about it.
Is this the real Joe Biden or is it a puppet?
The other big issue that's happening, another big issue that's happening is sudden deaths.
What a mystery that there's sudden deaths.
I say there's no sudden deaths. I say if you put poison into people, they will die.
They will have all sorts of heart problems.
And so what I urge anyone who has lost someone suddenly is to insist on an autopsy.
Push hard for an autopsy.
I've been helping a lady called Kerry on this issue.
The Brisbane Hospital has done a disgraceful job and effectively negligent homicide.
They put in place by ignoring what needed to be done to her husband, her 57-year-old husband.
And she's fighting for justice and she's fighting for a proper autopsy.
Sudden deaths are not a mystery, everybody.
The third issue is the dramatic increase in excess deaths over previous periods happening
all around the world.
Guess why they're happening.
Yes, I can't say on this, but there's some stuff being put into people that's causing
excess deaths.
The numbers are damning.
If you get a 2% or 3% excess death increase,
suddenly there'll be all around the mainstream news.
It is not about the mainstream.
It's not being published, but it's all available.
These excess deaths are a testimony to the bad decisions that are being made for humanity's health.
The fourth issue is the attempt by the World Health Organization to gain sovereignty over
all nations, including Australia, where I live.
The World Health Organization wants to be able to declare whatever it wants and to then claim
power over the people of each country.
Be aware of this.
It is outrageous.
It is taking away national sovereignty, all in the name of the good of humanity.
Again, I call BS on this.
Please do not accept how your local politicians, you do not want politicians to be bound by
decisions of an unelected organization called the World Health Organization that a friend of mine,
a highly experienced psychiatrist, a Jewish psychiatrist for that matter,
calls the World Holocaust Organization.
The other crucial issue that's arising is the concept of 15-minute cities or 20-minute cities.
Please find out about that.
It is an evil that's being perpetrated on you to limit you to not going outside a 15-minute radius
of your home, all in the name of climate emergency.
This also is evil.
Lastly, be aware that if your loved one is in hospital, make sure that you have a medical
power of attorney.
There are some horror stories happening in hospitals of people where hospitals and doctors
are not listening to the wishes of spouses because they don't have a medical power of attorney.
Do not let someone go into a hospital that you love if that person is not going to be able to be
fully accomplished to make their decisions.
Most people in the hospital are confused by the complexity imposed upon them by the system,
by the protocols, by evidence-based medicine, not medicine based on the needs of you, of your loved
one.
Make sure you get a medical power of attorney, otherwise you are risking significant harm.
Then while all that's going on, Julie and I maintain our healthy lifestyle.
I keep exercising.
I urge you to maintain your exercise regime.
It doesn't matter what's happening, it doesn't matter how busy you are.
You must look after this wonderful machine that we've got.
Balance the mental, the physical, the spiritual, and particularly by listening to and watching
programs like this.
All right, well we're getting close.
If you're new to the show, please stick around to get some more background about me and to dig
into the foundational principles of this show.
Thanks for watching or listening.
Thanks for sharing this show.
Thanks for subscribing.
Until next week, may your week be full of passion.
Be full of exploration.
Be full of the willingness to embrace complexity.
And be full of opportunities to increase your self-awareness so you live life on your terms.
Thanks for being here.
See you next week.
Bye.
Listeners who want to know more about my background and what else I do with my life as well as the
foundational principles of the show.
Here we are.
Since 1993 when I left my legal career, a career that I love to become Australasian
passion provocateur, I have inspired and provoked and educated and motivated people
all over the world to discover and pursue their passion.
I have helped people via the books that I've written, via speeches at conferences,
via in-depth team building programs, workshops over one, two or three days or over three
months, six months.
And I've coached people of all ages one-on-one from small, medium and large enterprises,
government enterprises, helping them to identify the often tiny changes that can make a massive
difference.
One of my core principles is that freedom is what makes us truly human.
That's why one of the greatest threats that government imposes on you to force you to
observe its laws is the threat of imprisonment, the loss of your freedom.
Just think about that.
Government says if you don't behave yourself, we're going to put you in jail.
No, no, I don't want to go to jail.
I don't want to lose my freedom.
That's a reminder to you of why freedom is so important.
Without freedom, you and I are not much different to animals.
If you were locked up in a cage for the rest of your life, how different would you be to
an animal?
This commitment to fighting for freedoms for all people is carried out by me primarily
through five channels.
Number one, preserving the freedom to pursue your passion.
Number two, inspiring you to be able to be free through excellent health.
Number three, helping preserve freedom throughout the world through the expansion of
industrial hemp, a magnificent agricultural crop, an almost miraculous crop that enables
every community to thrive independently of government.
In this way, the power of government to take away freedom is minimized.
Number four, fighting for freedom through legal strategies.
So I do work as a legal strategy consultant as an interface between clients and their
lawyers.
And number five, as chairman of the Australian Institute of Comedy and as a board member of
the Australian Cartoon Museum, fighting for the freedom of thought and speech through
uncensored comedy and humour, through avoiding political correctness in the comedic space.
When you block freedom of speech, freedom of thought, that's the beginning of the end
of your freedoms.
The foundational principles for the Charles Kovasz Show are founded on the formula
S A plus P equals S.
Your self-awareness added to your passion will guarantee that you are successful.
And the best definition of success I have found in life is that success is the progressive
realization of your worthy ideals.
The progressive realization of your worthy ideals.
This show is also guided by Socrates' famous principle and quote,
the unexamined life is not worth living.
You can see I'm wearing my red jacket.
I wear my red jacket for all my shows.
Red is the colour of passion so that when you see me on the YouTube version, it reminds you
that when you see red in your life, you ask yourself the question, am I pursuing my passion?
What am I passionate about?
Am I still passionate about that?
What might I newly be passionate about?
Each week I explore one big idea that can change your life.
And it's just one big idea because there's a chance you will remember if I give you too
many ideas, then we get confused and we don't do anything.
Clarity leads to power.
Confusion kills passion.
Each week I share simple and practical resources that you've heard me describe in the earlier
part of the show.
A spiritual tip, a health tip, lyrics of a song, a book, a quote, and of course humour.
This show is not politically correct.
I have no intention of being politically correct.
And I love certain addictions including my addiction to great coffee,
my addiction to exercise, my addiction to reading,
and my addiction to certain other unmentionable in public type behaviours.
Who would know what they are?
This show definitely subscribes to the view that we have a spiritual life.
So if you don't like discussion of spirituality, this show is not for you.
I promise you that I don't include anything in this show that I don't consider to be true
and that I have not found to be useful in the work that I've done over the past 28 years,
but also over the past 50 years in business as a lawyer, as a consultant advisor.
I only want to share stuff with you that is of value to you.
Finally, if you have any questions or suggestions,
please feel free to contact me at Charles at Covest.com.
Again, thanks for watching and listening to my show.
Bye.
