Today we are living in a period of paradigm shift—one which may be as dramatic as the shift to the axial age according to John, or even as big as the leap from a single-celled organism to the homo sapien, according to Zak! A wide ranging discussion about how to reinventio (invent and discover) social justice and education and to rescue human interactions from social media pathologies. How to change out relationships from the transactional to the dialogic—how to reinventio education and justice for the life world and steal the culture from the bottom up. What is the quantum spiritual leap required in this time of apocalypse and renewal?

John Vervaeke is a professor at the University of Toronto and the creator of the popular online YouTube Series ‘Awakening from The Meaning Crisis’, which is a rich feast of cognitive science, philosophy, religion, and the history of ideas. What makes Vervaeke special in my opinion is the breadth of his work, but his courage descend the ivory tower and talk to people ‘on the street’—and to exemplify his ideas. His hero is Socrates, and he embodies the living dialogue and courage that Socrates represents.

Zak Stein is philosopher of education working at the interface of psychology, metaphysics, and politics. He has published two books, including Education in Time Between Worlds, along with dozens of articles. This writing was done as he worked co-founding a non-profit and think tank, as well as teaching graduate students at Harvard, and consulting with technology start-ups. Zak is a long time meditator, musician and caregiver, which has shaped him more than any professional engagements. (Source: https://www.systems-souls-society.com)
