Anderson Todd, a Neo-Jungian alchemist and cognitive scientist, dives into the fascinating interplay of depth psychology, alchemy, and psychedelics. He critiques Jung’s views on mescaline while advocating for integrating indigenous models of psychedelic experiences. The conversation explores alchemy's role in self-transformation, the narrative potential of role-playing games, and the dual nature of the trickster archetype. Todd passionately highlights the significance of humor and friendship in meaningful connections, ultimately speculating on the philosopher's stone as a metaphor for transformation.

In this engaging conversation, Anderson Todd, a depth psychologist and cognitive scientist, tackles the profound intersections of Jungian theory, alchemy, and consciousness. He discusses how archetypes shape our collective psyche and the potential of psychedelics as gateways to deeper understanding. Todd explores the idea of building new archetypes amidst societal chaos and emphasizes collaborative approaches to navigate today's complexities. The dialogue underscores the evolving nature of human relationships and the quest for meaning in transformative times.

How can we make relationships that build life? This conversation is a journey toward asking that question. "The compost knows more about how to be in a world of vitalising relationships than I do. Because I have been encultured into a lot of processes that have blinded me. And that have been served by exploitation that was beyond where I could see conveniently. And so I have this idea of essentialness that is connected to brokenness." - Nora Bateson --- Connect with Nora: Learn more about Nora Bateson, the International Bateson Institute, and discover Warm Data Labs: https://batesoninstitute.org/ --- It has never been more important to be part of authentic conversations.

A philosophical dialogue with groundbreaking cognitive scientist John Vervaeke, exploring the art of communication, transformation, and how we might realise a more meaningful connection to ourselves, each other, and the world. Conversation waypoints: 1. The role of dialogue as a response to the meaning crisis 2. Dialogue as a meta-psychotechnology — that which enables the curation and coordination of psychotechnologies (ways that we make sense of the world and cultivate wisdom) 3. Dialectic as the machinery to enter into distributed cognition and collective intelligence 4. "Just like individual intelligence needs to be exapted up into rationality and then that exapted up into wisdom, we need to take collective intelligence and ratchet that up into collective rationality and collective wisdom. [...] That's what I think we need in order to get to the meta-psychotechnology." JV - up to roughly 17mins 5. Theory and theoria, the musicality of dialogue, and meta-reflection on present dialogue 6. Accessing underlying functionality through phenomenology. 7. The logos in dia-logos - gathering together (logos) so that things belong together 8. Vulnerability and exposure - vulnerability as allowing things to penetrate into you. 9. Encouraging each other and encaring each other. So the vulnerability stays as a sensitivity rather than a hardening of defence because we're overexposed. 10. We have to bring the depths of ontology into dia-logos. 'Your deepest patterns of intelligibility, your deepest patterns of coping and sensemaking are always bound up with your deepest patterns of caring and concern and identification. So if we want this to have existential depth then we have to touch upon the ontological depths as well.' 11. Tipping towards aporia but not to horrify. We want to commit to the not knowing so that it becomes wonder and awe. This is also part of the dia-logos. 12. On circling plus philea sophia. 32 mins 13. From theoria back into theory 36 mins 14. Relevance realisation and loving transformation 15. Love, vulnerability, interesse (interesting - to be within) 16. Sacredness and the sacred 17. Making sacred and perfection 18. Teleology 19. Value and limitations of narrative 57 mins 20. Transnarrative - buddhism taoism stocicism 21. Do we have to leave narrative behind? 22. Connection between the completion of narrative and perfection and the sacred 23. Atemporality, Plato, Bergson, Beauty 24. Whitehead, emanation and emergence 25. Dialectic as the ontological structure of reality 26. Modes of orientation 27. The urgency of our collective moment 28. Meta-stability - a state of criticality so that positive development is possible for us while also setting up a whole bunch of constraints and systems so we don't over commit. Serious play allows us to taste and touch the criticality without the danger of catastrophic error. 29. Meta-stability and serious play 30. Ritual as a place of serious play 31. The joy and trauma of masculinity and femininity 32. Yin and yang 33. Adversarial to opponent processing 34. The need for healing 35. The importance of self-correction John Vervaeke PhD is an award-winning lecturer at the University of Toronto in the departments of psychology, cognitive science and Buddhist psychology. He has published articles on relevance realization, general intelligence, mindfulness, metaphor, and wisdom. His abiding passion is to address the meaning crisis that besets western culture.

Turn down the volume; listen for what's listening; there you'll find your voice. In the bubbling quiet. Nora Bateson is an award-winning filmmaker, writer and educator, as well as President of the International Bateson Institute, based in Sweden. Her work asks the question, “How we can improve our perception of the complexity we live within, so we may improve our interaction with the world?” An international lecturer, researcher and writer, Nora wrote, directed and produced the award-winning documentary, An Ecology of Mind, a portrait of her father, Gregory Bateson. Her work brings the fields of biology, cognition, art, anthropology, psychology, and information technology together into a study of the patterns in ecology of living systems. Her book, Small Arcs of Larger Circles, is a revolutionary personal approach to the study of systems and complexity.
