Andi: I first started really caring about this when i was like 31. My parents told me that h hamburgers come from and like, my world just broke. And a, i never ate animals again after that day. But it's that there is no way to actually be sane inside of the life in which we live. So how do we make u more sane? How do we make our lives separate from everything else? It's a very human process. There are lots of variables. The whole frican thing is moving every day...and i don't know what to do.
On this episode we meet with founding member of The Consilience Project, Daniel Schmachtenberger.
In Part 3 of their series, Schmachtenberger and Hagens explore metanarratives. Why are they threatening to various sections of society?
Further, Schmachtenberger helps us understand how we can take in the systemic metacrisis facing humanity in ways that grant us agency, rather than despair.
