Our guest in this episode is Joe Brewer, Executive Director at the Center for Applied Cultural Evolution. Joe is a complexity researcher, cognitive scientist, and evangelist for regenerative culture design. We invited him onto the show because we felt that our ideas about adult development, rites of passage, and overcoming the chasm of nihilism strongly resonated with his thinking and work on cultural evolution. This interview turned out to be very dense and we talked about complex subjects, so we divided the episode in two parts.
In Part 1 we talk about what kind of education we need in order to prepare for an evolutionary transition, why even intellectuals can't wrap their heads around climate change, and the importance of the grieving process for psychological and spiritual growth.
