Tyler,

Yes!  We are waiting for some kind of Godot.  From the TOK perspective, we will continue to feel rising anxiety and be at risk for running amok due to a lack of superordinate and shared justification system that can make sense of our current and ongoing reality. 

When you mention a "post-psychoanalytic" world, I wonder if you mean psychology's confusion about the value of individuation and ego strengthening versus relativism and the allure of collectivist and eastern values?  Curious also about what you think is missing from the current discourse on what our loadstar is or could be?

Too often in this post psychoanalytic era of research the mind and brain are wandering about like characters in a play by Beckett or Pirandello;-)

This looks great, thanks for sharing. I like Friston’s work very much.

 

I presented at his Active Inference lab a bit ago:

This is a fascinating conversation, at 1:20 they talk about "derealization" of the psyche/self in the process of consciousness introspection and exploration. Also they talk about model and data analysis of both world views and hypotheses.
