This was a great conversation, thanks for the thought provoking episode.
What are your thoughts on "Humanism" when compared to "Animism"? Also, would you say that "Humanism" is inherently anthropocentric ?
I explore what I see as the direct result of the predominantly anthropocentric worldview of modern western civilization in this essay https://gavinmounsey.substack.com/p/the-rise-of-anthropocentrism-bright and I also explore the difference between the animate world view and the anthropocentric worldview.
Human's tend towards complacency. Yes! Jung said that the natural human state is torpidity.
Does that torpidity and complacency translate to wilful blindness? Hmmmm. Most likely. Avidya and right seeing are key to the process of change, the change from perpetual teenage confused angst and anger. Without seeing what is, change is not possible. Thank you for being a lovely eye glass cleaner. I've worn glasses since 12!
I have thought that one of the main reasons Freud was more popular than Jung was because Freud allowed people to stay stuck in blame and complain; Jung, on the other hand, required taking responsibility to heal yourself before you can heal the world.
Thank you. You were great to listen to, and Mickey a dream to let you riff. Delightful.
Wow, Tessa's REALLY speaking my language! My ears perked up when she described transhumanism as an egregore of synthetic "spirituality." I agree wholeheartedly that we need to connect with true spiritual love so we don't fall into confusion, and sharpening our ability to discern between real love and counterfeit love (which necessarily includes forgiving those who lack this discernment) is more important than ever.
Also: YES to everything she said about the path of the artist! Purpose over profit! (Thanks for the shout-out at the end ^_^)
Really enjoyed this conversation. Thank you both for having it!
Thank you, as always, for listening and commenting. 🙂 I felt confident that her words would resonate with you and I'm pleased to see that this was the case. You and she need to have a conversation soon!
Hello Mickey Z. I came here to listen to Tessa. Nice dialogue. Loved Tessa's riff, too. And the timing on apology and forgiveness has a nice synchronicity with me as I examine my reaction to Emily Oster's virtue signalling apology. I will be writing about that. Well, I have in a few comments and my comments have been asking me to look at my self.
Your guide to an apology was excellent. So great to hear it. Thank you.
Thank you Mickey!! It was great to talk to you, and we surely went into the woods!!! And most importantly, thank you for your work of many years!!

I would value your thoughts on both those things.

Thank you, Guy, for listening and sharing your thoughts!
I like to say that its the listeners ear that makes the music....
and so it's really great to hear these interviews now, you seem to
draw out a very open energy from your guests, even though
you don't speak all that much.....i can hear you listening and so can
they...
thanks again Mickey
