Rewilding the Singularity with Michael Garfield
My guest today is Michael Garfield, a writer, musician, artist, poet-philosopher, paleontologist-futurist who's setting the seeds for a planetary renaissance. With incisive eloquence, he takes the threads of technology, science, and the wonders of the natural world to weave together a cosmic story of Life, one that needs to be shared more wildly. In our conversation we cover: * Corona virus and the epistemic crisis * Community and fragmentation * Evolution as a multi-billion year remix project * Psychedelics as training wheels for transhumanism * Nested complexity, restoring democracy, and regenerative communities * Rewilding the future * The power of ideas * http://www.samhbarton.com/podcast/rewilding-the-singularity-with-michael-garfield Links ----- * Michael on Twitter ( http://twitter.com/@michaelgarfield ) and Instagram ( https://www.instagram.com/michaelgarfield ) * Future Fossils #145: Weaving A New Prehistory to Rewild The Future ( https://shows.acast.com/futurefossils/episodes/145 ) * How to Live in the Future: The Future is a Place ( https://michaelgarfield.medium.com/how-to-live-in-the-future-part-1-the-future-is-a-place-ec1adf780aeb#.z8ji7vjq1 ) * Future Fossils on Apple Podcasts ( https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/future-fossils/id1152767505?mt=2 ) * Michael's Website ( https://michaelgarfield.blogspot.com/ ) * The Secret Language of Relationships ( https://www.booktopia.com.au/the-secret-language-of-relationships-gary-goldschneider/book/9780525426875.html ) * Robert Bakker ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_T._Bakker ) * William Irwin Thompson ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Irwin_Thompson ) * Lindisfarne Association ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lindisfarne_Association ) * The Collective Lindisfarne Tapes ( https://centerforneweconomics.org/envision/legacy/lindisfarne-tapes/ ) * Schumacher Centre for New Economics ( https://centerforneweconomics.org/[[commons]] ) * Lynn Margulis ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lynn_Margulis ) * Podcast with Shane Moss, 'Science vs Human Nature' ( https://podcasts.nu/avsnitt/here-we-are/science-vs-human-nature ) * Richard M.
