My guest today is Bayo Akomolafe (Ph.D.). This is a conversation about becoming. Bayo says “our culture sees growth and development as the only algorithm for creating sociality.” We discuss the gifts of disruption and the shackles of belonging. Bayo says, “we need to ‘dis-belong’ in order to become bodies…that disruption is how the world feels into itself.”
We talk about our challenges with parenting and how our children are our greatest teachers. What if we treated our children as cosmic disruptions? We talk about racial inequality and what’s wrong with efforts to “bring marginalized people to the tables of power” because it still requires you to fit within the existing power regime, within the existing way of being.
While we don’t discuss the metacrisis in detail in this conversation, everything we talk about is very much relevant to how we show up to do the work of addressing the metacrisis. In fact, this conversation is all about “how” we do the work which is just as important as “what” we do.
entangled world explores our greatest, interrelated social, economic, ecological, and technological global challenges, their underlying drivers, and how a more beautiful world might emerge.
