An experimental session welcoming the musician and philosopher Alex Ebert, known by many as the singer-songwriter for Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeroes, and increasingly among a network of thinkers and philosophers seeking to understand the shifting dynamics and possibilities of the paradigms which underlie our cultural moment. Held in the Voicecraft Network, the essence of this session sought to co-create a context that draws out the lived and living journey of a particular person, and in so doing, connect with the significance a particular voice is drawn to share with the whole. That is, a collective process whereby the group seeks to welcome the daimōn, the soul or genius of a person, to transmit the gift of their learning, perception, and expression, to a gathered community or network context.

Please consider supporting this work if it's something that shares value into your life @ https://www.patreon.com/voicecraft Show notes @ https://voicecraft.io/e62-naming-the-nameless/ Recorded in February 2022, this Voicecraft session features members of the Voicecraft Network: returning voices O.G. Rose and Tyler Hollett, along with Voicecraft Network contributors Kyle McGahee, Ethan Wells, Jurnee Manu, and Tom Lyons. --- The invitation that went out to network members was as follows: Over some years I have watched as developing fields of intention, understanding, and interaction--or said from another angle: hopes, dreams, and concerns--have clustered together in digital space and time. And, umm, if you'll indulge the following.. From psychedelic fractal, ayahuascic dimension shifting, tribal vibing meta visions of nu-enlightenment bed-making responsibilities, to the renaissance of dark webs and deep webs and spider webs and web 3s; and religions that aren't religions for the spirituals without religions; plus some old religions and new games, with old impulses in new clothes, and new impulses with no money; then some bildung for the meta-crisis, nurturing home grown humans and liminal sensemakers to authentically circle with antagonic shamanistic intellectuals, while dialogos makes socratic music from indigenous adjacent technologist integrals playing warmly with post-institutional relationalists to reconnect the masculine and the feminine. And all of that on the way to the para-academic invisible college built on wiser pathways from digital ports through uncanny valleys of friendship and peerage. Just so that we can have adventures, dinner and families, and drama worth having with laughter and tension in contexts that matter and that we matter to.. in openness to process with what is and what could be. Tongue in cheek -- without claiming at all to make sense -- if you are here in this network, chances are you pay attention to several different communities, podcasts, youtubers, discourse pockets, sensemaking webs of liminality populated by seen and unseen change making edgelords. In the void of integrity in the heart of (un)spoken society, in a polarising war of attritional addiction, in a post death of God world without rituals for death, (and therefore in the wake, just a bunch of undead gods--of ideology and scarcely inhabitable narrative--) some (lots) of people were all like: can we coordinate somewhere to talk about this? For several years, plus more before and more to come, people seem to need to name where they are, who is there, who is really there and who is not, and why...so that we can kind of tell others who we are and where we are and maybe what we like or hold hope in or want to gain recognition for being in and and and---- There is a deeper conversation to have here about naming and not naming. Of ists and isms and the deeper than language which coordinates in language; about the relationship between signalling and signal ineffable; about integrity, growth, inclusion and exclusion, relating to and with the 'wider public', as well as with oneself in the work of deeper truth. This invitation is to come ready for participation in dialogue. Thank you for your time and energy. --- Thank you to O.G. Rose, Tyler Hollett, Kyle McGahee, Jurnee Manu, Ethan Wells, and Tom Lyons.

The second of four explorations into the philosophy of lack w/ philosophers Cadell Last, Alex Ebert, O.G. Rose & Tim Adalin. Recorded mid July 2021. As introduced by Cadell: "We started our first discourse on lack in the context of the origin of philosophy in the Parmenidean presupposition of absolute being banishing the void; and its relationship to the emergence of psychoanalysis as a discipline that operates by necessity in the void of subjectivity. In our second discourse, I propose to shift our context to Democritus, and his atomist ontology, which we may say is the spontaneous unofficial metaphysics of scientific materialism (i.e. the universe at base is divided between indivisible somethings and nothing (“the void”). However, the complimentary opposite of atoms, the void, is often left unthought by scientific materialists, leaving open-ended the philosophical consequences of a presence that depends on absence. For Democritus, a presence that depends on absence signifies an important distinction vis-a-vis thinking “the real” (or fundamental reality), namely, that the most essential cannot be either a being (atoms, something), and neither can it be a non-being (void, nothing), but a paradox of the two. He referred to this paradox of the two as a “not-nothing”, or what we might call “Lack”. What does thinking Lack as a fundamental reality mean for scientific materialism?"

The first of four explorations into the philosophy of lack w/ philosophers Cadell Last, Alex Ebert, O.G. Rose & Tim Adalin. As introduced by Cadell: "Philosophy is a discipline classically concerned with "Being", or the presence of Something. Why is there Something rather than Nothing? However, after more than a century of psychoanalysis, we may say that the human subject is an entity of Lack, or that Lacks. Thus, the human subject is a Being constituted by a contradictory identity, constantly attempting to fill in the persistent feeling that there is "Something missing". In this conversation series, we seek to enquire deeper about the experience and the philosophy of Lack, and ultimately, what such a philosophy might say about our contemporary culture. Why is there Nothing rather than Something?"

As culture fractures and human energy seeks connection, security, and possibility in the digital, how can we avoid dopaminergic traps and find others with whom we can participate and build healthy, meaningful, generative patterns of interaction?

She is a game designer, architect, and artist who explores the potential of roleplay for personal cultivation and community development.

How can we make relationships that build life? This conversation is a journey toward asking that question. "The compost knows more about how to be in a world of vitalising relationships than I do. Because I have been encultured into a lot of processes that have blinded me. And that have been served by exploitation that was beyond where I could see conveniently. And so I have this idea of essentialness that is connected to brokenness." - Nora Bateson --- Connect with Nora: Learn more about Nora Bateson, the International Bateson Institute, and discover Warm Data Labs: https://batesoninstitute.org/ --- It has never been more important to be part of authentic conversations.

A philosophical dialogue with groundbreaking cognitive scientist John Vervaeke, exploring the art of communication, transformation, and how we might realise a more meaningful connection to ourselves, each other, and the world. Conversation waypoints: 1. The role of dialogue as a response to the meaning crisis 2. Dialogue as a meta-psychotechnology — that which enables the curation and coordination of psychotechnologies (ways that we make sense of the world and cultivate wisdom) 3. Dialectic as the machinery to enter into distributed cognition and collective intelligence 4. "Just like individual intelligence needs to be exapted up into rationality and then that exapted up into wisdom, we need to take collective intelligence and ratchet that up into collective rationality and collective wisdom. [...] That's what I think we need in order to get to the meta-psychotechnology." JV - up to roughly 17mins 5. Theory and theoria, the musicality of dialogue, and meta-reflection on present dialogue 6. Accessing underlying functionality through phenomenology. 7. The logos in dia-logos - gathering together (logos) so that things belong together 8. Vulnerability and exposure - vulnerability as allowing things to penetrate into you. 9. Encouraging each other and encaring each other. So the vulnerability stays as a sensitivity rather than a hardening of defence because we're overexposed. 10. We have to bring the depths of ontology into dia-logos. 'Your deepest patterns of intelligibility, your deepest patterns of coping and sensemaking are always bound up with your deepest patterns of caring and concern and identification. So if we want this to have existential depth then we have to touch upon the ontological depths as well.' 11. Tipping towards aporia but not to horrify. We want to commit to the not knowing so that it becomes wonder and awe. This is also part of the dia-logos. 12. On circling plus philea sophia. 32 mins 13. From theoria back into theory 36 mins 14. Relevance realisation and loving transformation 15. Love, vulnerability, interesse (interesting - to be within) 16. Sacredness and the sacred 17. Making sacred and perfection 18. Teleology 19. Value and limitations of narrative 57 mins 20. Transnarrative - buddhism taoism stocicism 21. Do we have to leave narrative behind? 22. Connection between the completion of narrative and perfection and the sacred 23. Atemporality, Plato, Bergson, Beauty 24. Whitehead, emanation and emergence 25. Dialectic as the ontological structure of reality 26. Modes of orientation 27. The urgency of our collective moment 28. Meta-stability - a state of criticality so that positive development is possible for us while also setting up a whole bunch of constraints and systems so we don't over commit. Serious play allows us to taste and touch the criticality without the danger of catastrophic error. 29. Meta-stability and serious play 30. Ritual as a place of serious play 31. The joy and trauma of masculinity and femininity 32. Yin and yang 33. Adversarial to opponent processing 34. The need for healing 35. The importance of self-correction John Vervaeke PhD is an award-winning lecturer at the University of Toronto in the departments of psychology, cognitive science and Buddhist psychology. He has published articles on relevance realization, general intelligence, mindfulness, metaphor, and wisdom. His abiding passion is to address the meaning crisis that besets western culture.

Turn down the volume; listen for what's listening; there you'll find your voice. In the bubbling quiet. Nora Bateson is an award-winning filmmaker, writer and educator, as well as President of the International Bateson Institute, based in Sweden. Her work asks the question, “How we can improve our perception of the complexity we live within, so we may improve our interaction with the world?” An international lecturer, researcher and writer, Nora wrote, directed and produced the award-winning documentary, An Ecology of Mind, a portrait of her father, Gregory Bateson. Her work brings the fields of biology, cognition, art, anthropology, psychology, and information technology together into a study of the patterns in ecology of living systems. Her book, Small Arcs of Larger Circles, is a revolutionary personal approach to the study of systems and complexity.

How can we connect to ourselves, each other, and reality? This Voiceclub dialogue explores the notions of disconnection, connection, human potential, and the mystery of transformation, from a lens of therapeutic growth, human development, and philosophy. This dialogue was part of a Voiceclub event titled 'Disconnection In The Age Of Connection', held in the basement of the cocktail lounge Caz Reitop's Dirty Secrets in Melbourne, Australia. Later in the evening, the audience participated in a group sensemaking practice, as part of an ongoing experiment in collective intelligence and community building. Events take place regularly.

Lila is a Sanskrit word, translated as something like divine play. There's a dance like nature to the flow of meaning in the spiral of dialogue. Pairings like intellect and intuition, the analytic and the mystical, mind and body, propositional and participatory, serious play; these spark to mind when I reflect on the style of dialogue Sam and I enjoy. This one, recorded in June earlier this year. Sam is the founder of LiveLearnEvolve.com, a digital portal for wisdom, curiosity, and transformation. He's a designer, yoga teacher, psychonaut, and student of Zen, Alchemy, and Esoteric wisdom. For your evolving map of meaning, I hope you find insight here. Much love.
