Dear TOK Society,

 

  I am delighted to have the opportunity to introduce Tim Adalin to the TOK Society. He is a philosopher who set up the Voiceclub (which is becoming the Voicecraft Collective). I heard Tim have an exchange with John Vervaeke and then heard him interview Jordan Hall. I was struck that by that interview (so was Hall at times 😊), and could immediately tell Tim was the real deal when it came to understanding the leading edge of culture. We hooked up and did a podcast together and it was a blast.

 

Our two-hour conversation is up on both YouTube: https://youtu.be/fEQwzird28w and as a podcast: https://soundcloud.com/voiceclub_podcast/e44-co-creation-understanding-and-the-unification-of-psychology-with-gregg-henriques. Here is the description: https://voiceclub.com/co-creation-understanding-and-the-unification-of-psychology-with-gregg-henriques-tim-adalin/.

 

Here are the waypoints:

  1. What is going on, how do you make sense of life in this moment?
  2. How the lens of clinical psychology and metaphysics informs Gregg's intuitive sense of this moment and the impact on people's lives
  3. The hopefulness of a more coherent metaphysics in this time of kairos
  4. Connecting the heart and mind in right relationship through diologos
  5. Movements of understanding
  6. Fragmentation
  7. How do we invite participation in movements of understanding
  8. The problem with present institutions
  9. The importance of creating meta-cognitive awareness of this game that we're playing
  10. Self-knowledge and the awareness of frame-making
  11. How can we create frames that dignify the participatory capacity of all?
  12. Integrated pluralism - a metamodern principle as synthesis of modernism and postmodernism
  13. Meta-cultural values
  14. Dignity, Wellbeing, Integrity
  15. Relating to our own dissonance
  16. The problems of psychology
  17. Assimilating the value of behaviourism and Skinner
  18. Nervous system as an investment value system, behaviour systems as an energy economic system
  19. Relational value and social influence
  20. Transformation and informational interface between mediums
  21. How levels of behavioural complexity interface
  22. Integrating perspectives in the study of behaviour from the level of the nervous system up
  23. Phenomenal consciousness and epistemic / ontological gaps
  24. Relating back to the crises of our time and this time between worlds
  25. The Tree of Knowledge as an unfolding wave of behavioural complexity
  26. Joint points of transformation and the 5th joint point in the 21st century
  27. A nod to meta-reality and the mystical
  28. Where to from here
  29. CALM - MO a framework for understanding psychological mindfulness
