Conversations about consciousness, culture, and how we might live in the 21st century. The podcast blends contemplative practice with cultural theory, exploring everything from radical economics, meditation & psychedelics, to philosophy, all in service of exploring the full spectrum of existential possibilities.
My guest today is Michael Brooks: host of The Michael Brooks Show and author of Against the Web. On top of having one of the most popular Leftist political talk shows (full of wonderfully deep political analysis), Michael has a rich background in meditation, integral philosophy, and the general consciousness scene.
He regularly speaks about the need to situate the Leftist political project within a broader spiritual context, placing questions of consciousness at the center. In our conversation, we discuss:
The (lacking) relationship between ‘consciousness culture’ and politics
The politics of free time
How to bridge local anti-fragility with deep global interdependence and national social democracies
Comparing basic income and a federal jobs guarantee
Enjoy!
