All politics are personal. But does that mean we need to take it so personally?
In this episode of Inhabit, Ryan and I explore ways to bring more embodied awareness and skillful discernment to our political lives, overcoming the corrosive and often paralyzing effects that both our cynicism and our idealism can have upon our political decisions and our willingness to engage our most fundamental civic responsibilities.
Watch as Ryan and I discuss:
How to remain an idealist when the world constantly refuses to live up to our ideals.
What happens when our mechanisms of enfoldment completely break down, both in our governing systems and in our media platforms.
How lack of enfoldment leads to mistrust, misinformation, false equivalence, epistemic collapse, and aperspectival madness.
How to relate to postmodern media platforms where contradictory truths are no longer enfolded with each other, but instead slide frictionlessly across one other.
How to develop a more anti-fragile sensibility that can begin reducing fragility in the world.
How the left has created a culture of fragility, and the right a culture of resilience — and why both are anti-growth.
Why Trump, and not Hillary, was seen as the transformation candidate in 2016.
Why we need another genuine transformation candidate for 2020 — and who we think that is.
Join us in this exceptionally rich and hopeful exploration of our inner political landscapes!
