I had the thought a few weeks ago about creating "UTIK TOK's" or something along those lines. I think this is a good way to reach people who don't have time to dedicate to learning UTOK, but even this 5min clip requires a fairly advanced knowledge of UTOK to even know what you're talking about from the start. 

As usual, depending on your target audience I would utilize the medium of a short as a means to disseminate the more foundational points of UTOK, such as one short on each of the joint points or more general notions of epistemology and ontology. It may be a safe rule of thumb for you, Gregg, to keep it as basic as possible to resonate with the most people, if you spark their interest on that level you are much more likely to see them through more advanced and nuanced notions.


I would also caution you're language, as you're work with JV seems to be pushing your lexicon to a more mytho-poetic stance, which undermines the naturalistic science UTOK so well establishes itself on. It's hard to see that if one doesnt already know it when you talk about marrying the coin to the tree in the garden under God, that sounds way more mystical than I think you intend. 

Again, much of this feedback is presupposes upon a younger, less informed, and UTOK-ignorant target audience, if that is your audience, remember the lack of awareness of the problems and issues to the majority of the world that is not able to consider such philosophical problems as they tend to more basic needs, regardless of intent or ability. Global crises tend to lead to, but not co-occur with, metaphysical paradigm shifts.

Gregg this is really helpful. I think shorts are the way to go for most of the people we want to reach with this viewpoint. Typically 3 - 8 minutes is what the average person can handle in a video so that part is great. Also the animation really helps. I like how you have added the colors up the stack and then associate those colors will the knower and the eye/I. My vote is for more of these.

Hi TOK Folks,

I was thinking about trying to produce a series of “UTOK Shorts,” which are short videos (~5 minutes) that explain some key feature of the system.

 

Here is one that I did this morning, which is on how we can “marry the coin to the tree” in a way that bridges the Enlightenment Gap.

I welcome thoughts and suggestions.

Best,

Gregg
