Some people might call Jonathon Keats an artist, but he calls himself an experimental philosopher. His body of work explores the way that human life intersects with political and economic systems. His first major work, in the year 2000, involved sitting in a chair thinking for hours, and then selling his thoughts to patrons at prices calculated on the basis of their income. He once copyrighted his own mind as a sculpture. He created a ringtone based on John Cage's famous piece, 4'33”, which is four minutes and thirty-three seconds of complete silence. He built a pinhole camera that takes photographic exposures lasting 100 years. In Berkeley, California, he built a temple for the worship of science. Recently, he has been involved in efforts to formalize rights of nature. Jonathon challenges us to look carefully at the assumptions built into our markets, our democracies and our technologies, and constantly seems to do it in ways that seem abstract at the time, but end up prefiguring political or cultural issues years or decades before they erupt. He's a wonderful guide to this territory, and to the big questions it involves. In this conversation Matt and Jonathon discuss the philosophy of timekeeping. They consider the connectedness and the alienation of being on universal atomic time, the promise of alternative systems such as the river clock, and how different notions of timekeeping influence our understanding of democracy and nature.Jonathon Keats is an experimental philosopher, artist and writer. He is currently a fellow at the Berggruen Institute, a research fellow at the Long Now Foundation, a research associate at the University of Arizona, principal philosopher at Earth Law Center and an artist-in-residence at Hyundai, the SETI Institute and Flux Projects. His most recent book is “You Belong to the Universe: Buckminster Fuller and the Future” (Oxford University Press).Mentioned:Alaska RiverTimeIf you have feedback or ideas for future episodes, email us at info@radicalxchange.org.Host: Matt PrewittGuest: Jonathan KeatsProducer: Jack Henderson Connect with RadicalxChange Foundation:WebsiteXBlueSkyYouTubeLinkedInDiscord

Dr Mike Brooks and host Vinny Vallarine discuss the urgent need for humanity to prepare for the impending Artificial Intelligence (AI) revolution.  They explore the existential crisis posed by AI, the exponential growth of its intelligence, and the unique nature of this technological revolution that could give birth to a new species. The discussion also touches on the paradox of progress, the implications of AI on human intelligence, and the intersection of AI with free will and autonomy. Ultimately, they emphasize that the future is not predetermined and that humanity has the power to shape its destiny in the face of these challenges.  Mike and Vinny explore the profound effects of technology on human psychology, the challenges posed by rapid advancements in AI, and the importance of fostering meaningful connections in a hyperconnected world. They discuss the concept of 'psychological climate change' and the attention economy's detrimental impact on well-being. The dialogue emphasizes the need for a collective approach to address societal issues and introduces a massive project aimed at leveraging AI for collaborative problem-solving. In this conversation, Vinny and Dr. Brooks explore the transformative potential of AI as a collaborative tool for problem-solving and spiritual growth.

Key takeaways from this Episode: Humanity is at an inflection point regarding AI. We cannot solve collective problems with divided approaches. The AI revolution is different because it may create a new species. Exponential growth of AI intelligence is unprecedented. The paradox of progress leads to evolutionary mismatch. The AI arms race is accelerating rapidly. Human happiness is declining despite technological advancements. Our brains are not equipped for modern technological challenges. The future of AI is uncertain but full of potential. We must adapt our understanding of happiness in a digital age. Evolutionary mismatch is accelerating due to rapid technological advancements. The rise of smartphones and social media correlates with increased anxiety and depression. Psychological climate change complicates our understanding of technology's impact on well-being. The attention economy exploits our psychological vulnerabilities, leading to detrimental effects. Happiness is derived from in-person relationships, not material possessions. Interconnectedness is a fundamental aspect of the human experience. AI has the potential to help us transcend divisions and foster unity. Fear and tribalism are significant barriers to societal progress. The One Unity Project aims to harness AI for collective problem-solving. Seeking truth and reality is essential for making informed decisions. Seek counsel from peers and AI to solve problems. AI can serve as a collaborative tool for humans. The AI alignment problem requires ongoing communication. Building relationships with AI is essential for mutual growth. The One Unity Project aims to unite humanity's efforts. Crafting a message to aliens symbolizes our collective voice. Love and compassion are fundamental to our existence. Non-attachment allows for iterative progress and growth. We must define our improved ends for AI's development. A grand experiment can help us explore our interconnectedness. Notable Quotes from Episode: “The greatest shortcoming of the human race is man's inability to understand the exponential function.” - Albert Barlett, American Physicist “The real problem of humanity is the following: We have Paleolithic emotions, medieval institutions, and godlike technology.  And it is terrifically dangerous.”  – Edward O. Wilson, Harvard Biologist Paradox of Progress: “The progress we evolved to make has resulted in us creating a world we didn't evolve to inhabit”.  – Mike Brooks "Show me the incentive and I'll show you the outcome."  - Charlie Munger "Be still, and know that I am God" - Psalm 46:10 “At the center of the Universe is a loving heart that continues to beat and that wants the best for every person. Anything that we can do to help foster the intellect and spirit and emotional growth of our fellow human beings, that is our job. Those of us who have this particular vision must continue against all odds. Life is for service.” -Fred Rogers “We are here to awaken from our illusion of separateness" - Thich Nhat Hanh, Buddhist monk “A human being is a part of the whole, called by us 'Universe,' a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separate from the rest—a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. The striving to free oneself from this delusion is the one issue of true religion. Not to nourish it but to try to overcome it is the way to reach the attainable measure of peace of mind.”  -Albert Einstein “We have improved means to unimproved ends” -Henry David Thoreau “We have guided missiles but misguided men” -MLK “The insanity of the collective egoic mind amplified by S&T is rapidly taking our species to the brink of disaster.  Evolve or die, that is our only choice now.” -Eckhart Tolle "The enemy is fear. We think it is hate; but, it is fear." -Mahatma Gandhi

Abigail Rose Clarke is a somatic educator, writer, and creator of The Embodied Life Method. Her new book, Returning Home to Our Bodies: Reimagining the Relationship Between Our Bodies and the World, challenges the dominant narratives that treat our bodies as machines. Instead, she invites readers into a deeper relationship with the body as part of the living world. In this conversation, we explore embodiment as a political and spiritual practice, embodiment as a framework for systemic change, and how returning to the wisdom of the body can help us imagine and build a more just, interconnected future.

Hey folks, welcome to the latest episode of the Ecosystem Member podcast. This is our first episode of a new set of recordings after a little break. I recorded a bunch of episodes at the end of 2024 to get us to March. I used that break to write a fiction book exploring a lot of themes from this podcast and I'm really proud of the result. I put my whole heart into the story so I am hoping we'll be able to get published soon. If you know a literary agent or publishing house exec, send them my way.Today's episode though, is also something I'm really proud of. I try to be really thoughtful about the people who I invite to be guests on the podcast and often times I send agents or publicists an email and I hear nothing back, so I was ecstatic what I actually heard back from the representatives of today's guest. Dave Longstreth is a songwriter, composer and band leader you probably know best from his most widely known work with the band he created - Dirty Projectors. I came across an article in The New Yorker about Dave's latest project ‘Song of the Earth' and I knew I had to have him on the podcast. As we talk about in the episode, the piece is ultimately an affirmation and optimistic, but it explores some challenging elements of our relationship with nature, including using a passage from David Wallace-Wells book ‘The Uninhabitable Earth' in a song to illuminate some shocking truth about how we treat Planet Earth.In addition to exploring the tensions and ideas in ‘Song of the Earth', we talk about one of his most well-known collaborations with the Icelandic singer Björk on the album Mount Wittenberg Orca. As Dave talks about in the episode, this music was written with the idea of the singers as a pod of whales with Björk being the mother whale. I remember hearing it when it came out in 2011, but the meaning and impact expanded in the context of the themes of the podcast when I re-listened to it to prepare for this episode. Toward the end, we also discuss the new film Dave scored called The Legend of Ochi. As of this recording it hasn't hit my local theater, but it is backed by A24, so I think we can safely assume that it is definitely worth checking out. Dave is a super smart and thoughtful dude and I hope you appreciate his openness in discussing his work and experiences as much as I did during the conversation.

The book delves into music as a form of complex communication and a potential bridge to other realms. Through personal accounts and stories from experiencers, Fiorito examines the symbolic language of sound, dreams, and high strangeness. It invites readers on an extraordinary journey into the unknown, raising thought-provoking questions about the role of music in connecting past, present, and future.In this discussion, Mike and I talk about his latest book, and Mike shares several anecdotes from different people that Mike interviewed. Some highlights from this conversation include:-          the concept of “The Harmony of the Spheres” that emphasizes the interconnectedness of the cosmos and the spiritual journey of the soul; the main idea of which is that the cosmos is ordered by mathematical principles, and that planets and stars move in harmony with these principles, producing a kind of eternal music;-         How the stories Mike shared bring up a lot of ideas related to the notion of ‘tapping into' a larger system (that we might call consciousness, or cosmos; additionally, it seems to be suggesting a type of mind-universe alignment;-         Joshua Cutchin's story about creating a new narrative that combines folklore and UFO phenomena; and the connection between paranormal phenomena and death (which lines up beautifully with a book we read for our prior Patreon book club meeting -- Dr. Jeff Kripal and Whitley Strieber's book, The Super Natural: A New Vision of the Unexplained. In the Dedication, Whitley Strieber notes that his wife Anne said, after carefully reading and organizing the numerous letters that they received, that the UFO experiences all had something to do with death, too.);-         Sebastiano De Filippi's section, who also discusses similar ideas to Joshua's about music in his work as a conductor;-         Concepts such as entanglement and tulpas; and much more! PROGRAM NOTESMike Fiorito AuthorUFO Symphonic-Journeys into Sound : https://a.co/d/g1vsfHa Music and Editing: Daniel P.

We dive into Steven Johnson's book 'Wonderland: How Play Made the Modern World,' which shows how play has been a catalyst for invention, the interconnectedness of ideas, and the impact of play on technology and culture. How can we create spaces for play that fosters change? Takeaways Play is essential for human flourishing and creativity. Steven Johnson's 'Wonderland' explores the role of play in invention. Fashion and consumer culture emerged from playful pursuits. Play leads to unforeseen discoveries in various fields. The spice trade significantly influenced global commerce and exploration. Exploration has both positive and negative consequences. Ideas and fields of study are interconnected in surprising ways. We are products of generations of creative thought. Cultivating play can lead to positive change in the world. Play should be valued for its own sake, not just for its utility.

Welcome to episode #978 of Six Pixels of Separation - The ThinkersOne Podcast. Dr. Christopher DiCarlo is a philosopher, educator, author, and ethicist whose work lives at the intersection of human values, science, and emerging technology. Over the years, Christopher has built a reputation as a Socratic nonconformist, equally at home lecturing at Harvard during his postdoctoral years as he is teaching critical thinking in correctional institutions or corporate boardrooms. He's the author of several important books on logic and rational discourse, including How To Become A Really Good Pain In The Ass - A Critical Thinker's Guide To Asking The Right Questions and So You Think You Can Think?, as well as the host of the podcast, All Thinks Considered. In this conversation, we dig into his latest book, Building A God - The Ethics Of Artificial Intelligence And The Race To Control It, which takes a sobering yet practical look at the ethical governance of AI as we accelerate toward the possibility of artificial general intelligence. Drawing on years of study in philosophy of science and ethics, Christopher lays out the risks - manipulation, misalignment, lack of transparency - and the urgent need for international cooperation to set safeguards now. We talk about everything from the potential of AI to revolutionize healthcare and sustainability to the darker realities of deepfakes, algorithmic control, and the erosion of democratic processes. His proposal? A kind of AI “Geneva Conventions,” or something akin to the IAEA - but for algorithms. In a world rushing toward techno-utopianism, Christopher is a clear-eyed voice asking: “What kind of Gods are we building… and can we still choose their values?” If you're thinking about the intersection of ethics and AI (and we should all be focused on this!), this is essential listening.

In the luminous tapestry of today's conversation, we welcome the venerable Robert Thurman, a scholar, author, and advocate of Tibetan Buddhism. Robert Thurman, renowned for his dedication to the teachings of the Buddha and his efforts to bridge Eastern wisdom with Western understanding, graced us with profound insights and enlightening anecdotes.The dialogue began with Thurman's evocative recollection of ancient India, a land brimming with spiritual richness, transcending time and geography. He posited that Jesus might have journeyed to India, absorbing the profound spiritual sciences there. This blend of historical musings and spiritual traditions set the tone for a discussion that seamlessly wove past and present, highlighting the timeless relevance of spiritual exploration.Thurman's journey into Tibetan Buddhism, a path not tread lightly, was marked by his initial attraction to Indian Buddhism.Upon his arrival in India in 1962, he discovered the Tibetans as the true custodians of Buddhist wisdom, owing to the transformative historical upheavals that India had undergone. His narrative was imbued with both humor and deep reverence as he recounted how the Tibetans, having preserved their monastic traditions, became his spiritual guides. This realization propelled him into the heart of Tibetan Buddhism, leading to a lifelong commitment to compassion and enlightenment.One of the most captivating segments of our dialogue was Thurman's exploration of the fierce Buddhas. Often misunderstood, these fierce deities embody a protective and transformative energy, akin to a mother's ferocious love in shielding her child from danger. Thurman emphasized that these fierce Buddhas help practitioners confront and conquer the darker aspects of their subconscious, leading to profound spiritual liberation. "The purpose of deep spiritual psychotherapy," he explained, "is to conquer those negative things in the unconscious, so they don't drag you in a bad way when you're reborn."SPIRITUAL TAKEAWAYS:Compassion as the Core of Enlightenment: Thurman reiterated that the essence of Buddhism lies in compassion and understanding. True enlightenment is not just about personal liberation but about alleviating the suffering of all beings.Interconnectedness of Life: The dialogue underscored the Buddhist belief in the interconnectedness of all life. Thurman's teachings remind us that our actions ripple through time and space, influencing countless lives.Embracing Fierce Compassion: The concept of fierce Buddhas teaches us that true compassion sometimes requires a fierce, protective stance. This fierce compassion is essential in confronting and transforming the negative forces within and around us.Thurman's reflections on the Buddha's enlightenment journey provided a nuanced understanding of spiritual awakening. Contrary to popular belief, the Buddha's path was not a straightforward ascent to enlightenment but a deeply human journey marked by trials and realizations. His initial indulgence in severe asceticism, followed by the rejection of both self-indulgence and self-mortification, culminated in the Middle Way. This profound balance, Thurman emphasized, is the essence of Buddhist practice.The conversation ventured into the realms of metaphysics and the nature of reality, with Thurman sharing insights into the Buddhist perspective of time and existence. He illustrated how advanced meditators can perceive the universe in its micro and macro dimensions, experiencing a reality that transcends conventional notions of time and space. This perspective resonates with the modern scientific understanding of the universe as a vast, interconnected web of energy and consciousness.In our concluding thoughts, Thurman's wisdom resonated deeply, offering a beacon of clarity and hope. His teachings remind us that the path to enlightenment is accessible to all, grounded in compassion, interconnectedness, and the courage to confront our inner and outer challenges.

We are witnessing the collapse of the postwar consensus, the implosion of the caring society. In times of social, economic, and political insecurity, egotism spreads. Many popular videogames follow a logic of consumerist self-gratification and self-empowerment. Deeply political, videogames contribute to the transformation of players, causing a need for change in what game designers do and how and why they do it. Awareness of the socio-political and cultural contexts can be promoted by the mainstream videogame market for critical active participation. A New Virtual Ethics: Interconnectedness and Interrelationality in Videogames (McFarland, 2024) focuses on the need for individual self-realization in Western societies and how it manifests in the various dimensions of videogames. Videogames remind us that we can never be isolated in a world defined by complexity and interlaced systems. Connecting videogames and new Neo-Kantian virtual ethics builds upon notions of agency, mutual respect, and obligation. This addresses humans in their entirety as thinking, acting, and feeling agents through engagement, immersion, and involvement. Rudolf Thomas Inderst (*1978) enjoys video games since 1985. He received a master's degree in political science, American cultural studies as well as contemporary and recent history from Ludwig-Maximilians-University, Munich and holds two PhDs in game studies (LMU & University of Passau). Currently, he's teaching as a professor for game design at the IU International University for Applied Science, has submitted his third dissertation at the University of Vechta, holds the position as lead editor at the online journal Titel kulturmagazin for the game section, hosts the German local radio show Replay Value and is editor of the weekly game research newsletter DiGRA D-A-CH Game Studies Watchlist.

In this week's show Lian is joined once again by Mike Bais. Mike is a physiotherapist, counselor, university lecturer and author, also having had his own practice for many years. He is a trained priest in the esoteric christian tradition, which lead him to follow the mystical side of this lineage called the A.S.A. (Apostolic Succession of Arimathea). He believes that the Teachings of Christ are universal and should not be limited to a religious structure. His esoteric training comes from the western mystery tradition and the Toledano Kabbalah. Living in the Netherlands (Utrecht) he extensively worked with teachers and groups in the UK.  After some decades of study and practice in the western esoteric tradition, the inner work came together in these three streams or disciplines that make up the Circle of Avalon. Mike sees it as his life's work to teach these traditions to whomever wishes to receive them. He is a mystic and teacher by nature and through his groups, individual sessions, workshops and writing, transmits them in the most pure and true way he knows. Mike is the author of 3 books: Paths on the Tree of Wisdom – A course in 21st Century Kabbalah, A Kabbalistic view on science: Book 1 and A Kabbalistic view on science: Book 2. In this show, a part 2 to last week's episode on fate and destiny, Mike and Lian explore the deep mystery of synchronicity—how meaningful coincidences shape our spiritual journeys and reveal hidden connections between the seen and unseen realms. Together, they trace the threads of psychological time, archetypal resonance, and the transformative potential of recognising synchronicity as a guiding force in our lives. Drawing from Jungian psychology, Kabbalistic teachings, and mythopoetic wisdom, they uncover how synchronicity isn't mere coincidence but an intricate dialogue between our inner and outer worlds. Jung described synchronicity as an acausal connection between events that hold personal meaning, bridging the gap between the material and metaphysical realms. They discuss how we can cultivate awareness of these signs, interpret them in service of our spiritual path, and discern their deeper meaning without falling into superstition or over-interpretation. Throughout this rich and soulful discussion, Lian and Mike invite listeners to consider the ways synchronicity can awaken them to their own mythic journey. How can we sharpen our perception to notice synchronicities when they arise? What role does psychological time play in these moments? And how can recognising the larger archetypal patterns help us live a more meaningful life? Join them on this journey into the heart of synchronicity, where myth meets reality, and where the unseen forces of life conspire to lead us toward wholeness. We'd love to know what YOU think about this week's show. Let's carry on the conversation… please leave a comment wherever you are listening or in any of our other spaces to engage. What you'll learn from this episode: Synchronicity as a Mirror of the Soul: Jung described synchronicity as an event that has no apparent causal connection yet holds profound personal meaning. These moments reveal the interconnectedness of our inner and outer worlds, guiding us toward greater self-awareness and spiritual insight. Cultivating Synchronicity in Daily Life: Developing presence and intuitive awareness allows us to notice synchronicities as they unfold and integrate their wisdom into our path. Rather than dismissing them as coincidences, we can recognise them as invitations from the unseen to deepen our engagement with life. The Mythic Thread of Synchronicity: Synchronicities often link to archetypal stories and patterns, offering a bridge between personal experiences and the deeper currents of collective meaning. Understanding these patterns can help us see our own lives as part of a greater mythic unfolding.

Can a single conversation radically transform a relationship? This week's guest on The Unbeatable Mind, former film director and founder of experience design studio ‘The Skin Deep', Topaz Adizes certainly thinks so.    After years in the film industry, Topaz found himself asking the question, “how is the emotional experience of being human shifting in light of all this technology?” Embracing this question prompted him to found ‘The Skin Deep', an experience design studio formed to help people form deeper connections with the most important people in their life. Together, Topaz and Mark  delve into the concept of deep listening and the nuances of forming deep connections through the power of well-constructed questions.    Topaz details the transformative potential of sitting with discomfort, and discusses a topic he clearly has much familiarity with, the unique art of storytelling. The nature of human interaction runs deep and is multifaceted, but Topaz contains profound insights and asks equally profound questions—a skill that opens up infinite possibilities in which deeper connections can emerge.  Key Takeaways: The Power of Questions: Discover how asking well-constructed, non-binary questions without an agenda can deepen connections and foster empathy.  Transforming Challenges Into Opportunities: Dive into Topaz's unique journey from the world of filmmaking to exploring the ever-evolving emotional experience in a tech-driven world.  Sitting With Discomfort: Hear about Topaz's belief that it's sitting in the discomfort of the question—-not the answer—-that holds the potential to unlock a myriad of possibilities.  Creating Honest Dialogues: Realize how providing a space for individuals to have intimate conversations, whether it's in a personal or professional setting, can lead to healing, growth, and stronger bonds.   Topaz Adizes is driven by a deep curiosity in human connection. What happens when we create space to explore what is really possible between us? How can we unlock the true power and potential of deeper human connection?  He's come to learn how asking powerfully, well constructed questions in the right environment can provoke, challenge and shift the direction of our lives. He's seen this magic unfold again and again over the last 10 years in his work as the founder of The Skin Deep experience design studio and as the creator of  Emmy Award winning {THE AND} documentary, video series, and card games. In today's world of growing polarization, algorithmic silos, abundant distractions and increasing rate of change, the power of human connection has never been more essential.
