I just watched this. It's fantastic.

My initial thoughts, of course, are centered around the power of mythology/gamification/symbolism to convey a message. My sense is we are going to need more stuff like this if "liminal" culture is to go from a relatively niche community on the internet to a full-blown cultural revolution. I have plenty of ideas on how to do this as a (theory and ritual) artist, but the trickiest thing, I suppose, is reforming the academic and mental health paradigms to incorporate this.

Or maybe it isn't so tricky after all. Gregg's system does a wonderful job of utilising mythos as a way of demonstrating the relationship between different elements in his system. I'm curious on best practices for incorporating that mythos into less intellectually-inclined spaces. Art seems to be the way to go, but in terms of specifics...hmmm.

Anyway. 

Also, this is my first time replying to a TOK Society email! Hello everyone! I'll be crawling back into my cave now.

I really enjoyed this production.

 

And, folks, UTOK does have a place in this. We need some new kinds of knowledge-psycho technologies to get us from Game A to Game ~B, and there is much gold to be mined from UTOK to frame this.


Best,
Gregg

Christian,

 

This was pretty rad! Love the animation, accessible theory/language, and length! 

 

As always, I'm always looking for more tangible/concrete directives...maybe the other videos will provide that kind of information?

 

Warmly,

 

Ali
