This entertainingly honest conversation between Tyson Yunkaporta and Jim Rutt discusses how indigenous learnings can help liberate the democratic institutions of today. They explore the notion of "humans as custodial species" (via Yunkaporta's book, "Sand Talk: How Indigenous Thinking Can Save the World"), and the role we serve tied to the earth around us on a spiritual and physical level. Jim and Tyson take you down an exciting path paved with history, tech, and new and old philosophies that will keep you thinking.This was originally aired on RxC TV as part of the 2021 RadicalxChange unConference Online.SpeakersTyson Yunkaporta Tyson is an academic, an arts critic, and a researcher who is a member of the Apalech Clan in far north Queensland.

I was delighted to speak with such a highly respected & published researcher because we are going to learn so much from this interview. Dr Saleet Jafri works at George mason University in the Department of Molecular Neuroscience, Fairfax, VA. He serves as Department Chair and Acting Director for the Krasnow Institute & teaches graduate and undergraduate courses in the Department of Molecular Neurosciences and Program in Bioinformatics and Computational Biology. He conducts research using mathematical models in the areas of cardiovascular physiology, cell signaling, cell energetics, and biochemical reaction networks. He has the longest CV I have ever read! It’s 51 pages long.
The Red Hen Lab is a distributed laboratory for the study of network news. In an earlier talk, Professor Francis Steen provided a technical overview of the activities of Red Hen and surveyed the study by Francis Steen and Mark Turner of international network news coverage of the Anders Bering Brevik event in Oslo, Norway, in July, 2011, with an emphasis on the way in which network news is occupied with the assessment of culpability, blame, and credit. This talk will discuss research on the cognitive underpinnings of network news, with an emphasis on blended joint attention, story-telling, counterfactuality, and hypotheticals. Mark Turner is Institute Professor and Professor of Cognitive Science at Case Western Reserve University. He is the founding director of the Cognitive Science Network. His most recent book publications are Ten Lectures on Mind and Language and two edited volumes, The Artful Mind: Cognitive Science and the Riddle of Human Creativity, and Meaning, Form, & Body, edited with Fey Parrill and Vera Tobin. His other publications include Cognitive Dimensions of Social Science: The Way We Think about Politics, Economics, Law, and Society, The Literary Mind: The Origins of Thought and Language, and many more. He has been a fellow of the Institute for Advanced Study, the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation, the Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences, the National Humanities Center, the National Endowment for the Humanities, and the Institute of Advanced Study of Durham University. He is a fellow of the Institute for the Science of Origins, external research professor at the Krasnow Institute for Advanced Study in Cognitive Neuroscience, distinguished fellow at the New England Institute for Cognitive Science and Evolutionary Psychology, and Extraordinary Member of the Humanwissenschaftsliches Zentrum. In 1996, the Académie française awarded him the Prix du Rayonnement de la langue et de la littérature françaises.

Lewine was a director’s fellow at Los Alamos National Laboratory, where he worked on the development of magnetoencephalography (MEG), a new method for studying brain function. He recently joined MRN and is interested in diagnosing the “invisible” wounds of war and in evaluating and treating developmental disorders. Stanley, assistant professor of security studies, Edmund A. Walsh School of Foreign Service and the Department of Government, created mindfulness-based Mind Fitness Training to build warrior resilience and optimize individual and team performance. Spitaletta, U.S. Marine Corps major, U.S. Joint Forces Command and Joint Reserve Directorate, also holds a civilian position with the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory. His academic research focuses on the effect of intolerance for uncertainty on working memory capacity and executive brain function. Giordano is director, Center for Neurotechnology Studies at the Potomac Institute, senior research associate, Wellcome Centre for Neuroethics, fellow, Harris Manchester College at the University of Oxford, and affiliate professor of molecular neuroscience, Krasnow Institute for Advanced Studies, George Mason University.
