Reintegration is such a necessary part of any initiation ritual, because you can just leave people in the pit. So there's another thing about reintegration, and let's use metamorphosis within a caterpillar changing to a butterfly. And so we are as humans without that evolutionary history, meaning we're trying to make a gular transition, an unprecedented transition. We do not have this onto genetic evolutionary history. We don't have a developmental process that tells us what to do to become a planetary steward.
This is Part 2 of our interview with Joe Brewer of the Center for Applied Cultural Evolution, where we talk about modern versions of rites of passage, and why they are important. We also discuss the ways to support cultural evolution and develop regenerative cultures that are capable of dealing with global problems and existential risks.
