Aubrey Marcus: “When it was recommended that I do a podcast with Rabbi Dr. Marc Gafni, I knew nothing about him. I dove straight into his body of work and my life will never be the same. This is perhaps the most paradigm shifting podcast I have ever recorded. It tells the tale of the greatest love story of all–the story of the cosmo-erotic universe Herself. In this paradigm shifting masterclass, we learn how a force he calls Eros is the fundamental substrate of creation all the way down to the first principles of subatomic matter. Gafni’s wisdom stretches back

In times of war, issues of ethnic and national identity overshadow all considerations of class. We are thereby forgetting a crucial question: Which class relations should we aspire towards? [Note: As the war in Ukraine broke out, I was in the process of writing a series of weekly articles that explore visions of societal development beyond the liberal capitalist democracies. I am now continuing that thread, no disrespect meant to the realities of the war and its victims.] Protopia and the Metamodern View of Class Can class society and its inequalities, its mechanisms of “stratification”, truly be transcended — or is the

This is a 7-minute excerpt from a longer podcast. I was on a roll, so it is worth sharing. The post The Spiritual Teachings of Evolution in 7 Minutes appeared first on Steve McIntosh: Official Website.

I have a new article, which has been published in both Areo Magazine and on The Developmentalist website. As I argue: “The key to a more balanced interpretation of American history is to take a developmental perspective and view our history as a work in progress. Placing America’s narrative in the context of its ongoing growth enables our shame and our pride—our grievances and our gratitude—to correct each other’s excesses: pride in our progress helps counter assertions that past conditions still prevail, and shame at our nation’s misdeeds helps remind us that our reconciliation is not yet complete.” The post

I’m please to share my latest article, published on The Developmentalist: The Politics of Pride and Shame—Integrating 1776 and 1619. Here’s an excerpt: “As the result of rapid cultural evolution over the last sixty years, American society has become “stretched out” to the point that it no longer coheres as a governable entity. Yet, as I argue in this essay, it is this very same course of cultural development that will ultimately bring us back together. Although some version of left and right will always characterize our national polity, there is a strong potential for a new era of relative

What can we, as citizens of the world, do to avoid the worst consequences of the war in Ukraine and to make “the best” out of a grim situation? This is the second of two 10-pointers on the invasion of Ukraine. The first one sets the stage in terms of understanding the situation. This one goes on to consider what can and should be done by the West and the international community. After these two 10-pointers, I am sharing a more in-depth analysis of the situation.

After these two 10-pointers, I am sharing a more in-depth analysis of the situation. 1.

With the Sixth Assessment Report of the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) being released, it’s important to revisit the climate scenarios that are its centerpiece. These scenarios form the basis of the climate science community’s modeling and projections, which in turn affects governance and investment decisions across the world. Trillions of dollars and the policymaking of the entire planet thus ride upon these climate scenarios, and so the cost of getting things wrong is extremely high. Scenarios past and present The previous generation of climate scenarios published in the Fifth Assessment Report in 2014 were known as

Across the world, Multiculturalism has been failing over the recent decades: conflicts, racism, discrimination, antagonism, distrust, ghetto despair, the rise of rightwing populism, riots, crime, and even ISIS as an emergent transnational vortex of discontent and violent regression. These realities are grasped differently across the political spectrum, damning or defending Multiculturalism. But none of the established positions seem to embrace a proper update of the Multiculturalist stance: Transculturalism. [Note — this was written last week, before the invasion of Ukraine. My comment upon that issue is upcoming.] In my book, Nordic Ideology, I outline six new forms of politics that I feel
