Layman Pascal - How to Bridge Money & Meaning in the Liminal Space
Layman Pascal is a prominent thinker in the Liminal, Metamodern, Game B, and Integral spaces. His work explores post-metaphysics, nonduality, metamodernism, integral metatheory, new shamanism, the future of religion, developmental philosophy, and meta-progressive politics. He is also the co-host of the mind-bending Integral Stage podcast. This episode was a live event recorded during Limicon 2024 and explored some of Layman’s ideas from his two popular essays “The Metamodern Business Burea” & “Make Game A Pay for the Wall”. After our dialogue, we opened the floor for participants to ask questions and share reflections. We navigated a wide range of topics including transforming the money & meaning relationship on a personal and societal level, developing a more conscious approach to business, new economic experiments, starting liminal business crews, bridging left and right brain ways of knowing, our relationship to dopamine and so much more. 🔗[Links & resources] 🔗The Metamodern Business Burea by Layman Pascal - https://laymanpascal.substack.com/p/the-metamodern-business-bureau-mmbbMake Game A pay for the Wall by Laman Pascal - https://laymanpascal.substack.com/p/make-game-a-pay-for-the-wall?utm_source=profile&utm_medium=reader2Layman’s substack - https://laymanpascal.substack.com/Integral Stage podcast - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCaA4zkLRnR3lGm8Y7c5TvdwLinchpin by Seth Godin - https://www.amazon.com/Linchpin-Are-Indispensable-Seth-Godin/dp/1591844096📝 [Show notes] 📝0:00 - Introduction 2:40 -Transforming the money & meaning relationship on a personal and societal level 5:52 - Making the Metamodern Business Burea come alive 10:39 - Early examples of liminal business crews and what’s missing 13:42 - Developing a more conscious approach to business and economics education16:45 - New economic experiments 20:16 - Finding clients who can pay for your services 27:52 - Do we need to be more careful, or more courageous, in our sources of material wealth?33:23 - How we can influence the wealthiest families in the world to distribute their money? 36:50 - Do liminal & metamodern thinkers go over people’s heads?38:16 - Finding your role in the liminal ecosystem (simplifying and complexifying) 41:08 - Connecting people with complementary skill sets and starting businesses44:25 - Nominating liminal business leaders, failing forward, and learning from elders 49:30 - Group reflections 49:52 - It doesn’t need to be perfect we just need to take action 52:31 - Finding the right words to connect the liminal/metamodern space to the conventional world 57:07 - Bridging left and right brain ways of knowing 1:00:00 - Finding the economic model hidden in the inspiration and locating people & spaces at the edge of Game A 1:03:27 - How to do better business, why do we need marketing, bullshit jobs & our relationship to dopamine 1:13:22 - Mapping coherence and navigating divergence 1:16:32 - What’s next?*Join the "Top Insights" list and get insightful links, in-depth book summaries, and transformational frameworks delivered monthly to your inbox - https://artemzen.ck.page/topinsights*Follow me on Twitter (x) - https://twitter.com/artemzen*For Contact, questions or ideas email me at artem@artemzen.com
