Oct 26, 2024
Max Borders, the founding hierophant of The Grey Robes and author of several books on decentralization, dives deep into the concept of 'Empire of the Mind.' He discusses how cultural narratives shape governance and the role of technology in redefining identity. The conversation also covers the tension between surveillance-driven elites and the push for decentralization, alongside the philosophical interplay of sutra and tantra in personal development. Borders emphasizes the need for shared beliefs and collaboration in a rapidly evolving society.
