Ep 229 Javier Peke Rodriguez and Peacewarts Moves to Weekly

Javier Peke Rodriguez and Peacewarts Moves to Weekly

In this transition episode, Avis shares a heartfelt appreciation for the music that sets the tone for our study of peace and announces an intentional shift in the rhythm of the Peacewarts curriculum.

The Music of the Lab

Avis shares a bit about Javier "Peke" Rodriguez, the acclaimed Spanish composer and pianist whose atmospheric and therapeutic soundscapes provide the backdrop of the Peace is Here episodes.

A New Pacing: Peacewarts is moving to weekly.

After a month of daily episodes, the material of Peacewarts 101 is calling for more breathing room. To allow scholars more time to soak up the concepts and to allow Avis time for new writing projects—including the completion of Bullet Poof (Book 7 in the Pedro series) and continued work on The Peace Experiments book series—Peacewarts is moving to a weekly Monday release schedule.

This new pace means our curriculum will now extend through September 2027, giving us a longer, more sustainable horizon for our study.

The Roadmap Ahead

For new scholars joining us, the weekly pace makes catching up more attainable. You can find Peacewarts orientation in Episode 198 and the fictional festival in Episode 199.

• Universal Understars: We mapped the invisible infrastructure of a world without war.
• Living Roots: We explored peace as something biological and rooted in the soil.
• Chronicled Courage (Starting Monday): We begin recovering the nearly erased stories of refusal—moments when war was cued up, but someone chose differently.

Future Departments:

• Resonant Charms: Language without coercion.
• Social Chemistry: The biology of de-escalation.
• Morphological Peace: Redesigning broken systems.
• Ethical Defense: Navigating propaganda without cynicism.
• Kinetic Peace: Empathy in motion.

The Peace Stick

Avis reflects on the Tao and the nature of opposites. If peace and its opposite are on either side of the same stick, our goal is to float that stick to a part of the river where the "opposite" of peace is merely a frustrated day—kicking a stone down the road—rather than the violence of war.
