In this discussion, Alexander Bard, a Swedish philosopher, rockstar, and Sufi Monk, dives deep into the radical exploration of relationships and sexuality. He challenges traditional views on family and marriage, advocating for polyamory and emotional connections over conventional romantic love. Bard promotes the importance of male camaraderie and homosexual experiences among straight men, encouraging open communication and authenticity in relationships. He also highlights the need for all-male and all-female communities to foster genuine connections.

Gregg Henriques, a distinguished psychologist and professor at James Madison University, delves into the complexities of love and relationships. He emphasizes the need for meaningful connections that go beyond romantic ties and critiques societal structures impacting community bonds. The discussion addresses the tension between individualism and genuine relationships, highlighting the mental health crisis stemming from isolation. Gregg advocates for active listening and the importance of nurturing deep connections in a world increasingly defined by hyper-independence.

This is a presentation that I did with James Schmachtenberger at The Stoa. We wanted to present this under-discussed topic because we truly believe that it's a powerful crux for human relationships and the state of the world. A big claim, I know, but I really mean it. James Schmachtenberger is a serial entrepreneur and change-maker who focuses on social enterprises to harness the power of business for positive global change. He's the CEO of Neurohacker Collective, the makers of Qualia - a nootropic suite of drugs designed to increase human capacity. He has had a long history of being interested and invested in human relationships and open relating. This is an awesome presentation, we think you're gonna love it. 15% OFF QUALIA https://neurohacker.com/shop/qualia-mind?rfsn=6736291.51bd0fe Code: ARI (good for 15% off any purchase) Follow me on instagram! https://www.instagram.com/ariintheair Support this channel! $5/Month!

Zak is a writer, philosopher and futurist. He's the author of Education in a Time Between Worlds, a fantastic book on the reality that all of our existential risks are educational crises. In this episode we talk about how humanity is lacking a unifying story of value to guide us. Premodernity had religion and god, and modernity killed that story and replaced it with science and tech. Now we're struggling to not kill ourselves with all this power. Zak, with Marc Gafni and Ken Wilber, have founded the Center for World Philosophy and Religion, a thinktank aimed at asking the metaphysical questions that would empower future generations (and this one) to responsibly hold all this exponential power we've been handed without killing ourselves. It's a beautiful conversation and Zak is an inspiring thinker and speaker. This is the second episode of the Nuerohacker Collective x Ari in the Air Podcast collaboration series!

Dr. John Vervaeke is a professor of Cognitive Science at the University of Toronto and has been the prophet of 'the meaning crisis'. Vervaeke lays out the meaning crisis as a pervasive feeling of alienation from the world and from each other. Suicide rates and loneliness, depression and anxiety run rampant. Video games and social media fan the flames of these problems. Vervaeke has studied these problems in depth, and proposes ecologies of practices as their remedies. In this talk, I get John's take on the connection between movement and cognition/perspective. We talk about grief and how our movement practices quite literally 'move' us through our grief. We talk about flow state and the effect that physical danger has on our ability to learn, adapt and perform. It is an amazing and insightful conversation, and it is the first in the series of collab podcasts with Neurohacker Collective, the makers of Qualia - a suite of cognitive and wellness enhancing supplements. I take their Mind supplement religiously for my action sports, and their Life supplement for podcasting. Get 15% off any order with coupon code ARI.

Alexander Bard is a Swedish philosopher. He was a successful rockstar (you'll hear some of that in here) and has since lectured and written widely about techno-futurism. By my account, he's brilliant and witty and funny and fun. He's free as fuck and he's bold in his speech and it encourages me to be the same. I loved this conversation and there is more coming from the two of us.

Daniel is a philosopher and productivity coach from Toronto. He swears that there is a form of productivity that isn't completely captured by capitalism and status. He says there is a form of productivity that works to align ourselves with our integrity and that this is actually "the best thing on offer." I love that and this episode explores those ideas with him.

I entered a race that nearly killed me. It broke my body and my spirit. It broke my team. But it also blew my mind. It taught me things. I am so strong and can endure things I never imagined before. This is the story of that experience, and all the lessons that came from it. Thanks to Tim Stewart from Mountain Whispers Podcast for co-hosting with me.
