(3) Living Between Worlds: with Audio - by Richard Flyer

"My work in community—from apprenticing with an Indigenous/Christian medicine woman to developing local food systems, economies, and civic networks—became a form of spiritual inquiry. Could the coherence I saw at twelve become a living pattern among us? Could Divine Love form structurally in neighborhoods, economies, and everyday relationships?"

In this thought-provoking episode of Rabbit Hole, Dave Nadig speaks with Neil Howe—author of The Fourth Turning Is Here—about the evolving role of Gen X in today's world, the generational dynamics underpinning societal shifts, and what history teaches us about crisis, community, and rebirth.

(10) Alchemy, Technology, and Individuation in Novalis, Simondon, and Jung

"Simondon’s concepts of individuation, information, metastability, and technical concretization draw directly on Jung’s alchemical schema. Simondon also inherits much from Novalis’ art of invention despite constructively criticizing Romantic habits of absolutizing the individual. We discussed Novalis’s “magical idealism” as an attempt to reconcile machinery, alchemy, and nature, suggesting that his figure of the “poet-engineer” prefigures today’s need to re-language AI and technology."
