Brendan Graham Dempsey is a writer, poet, farmer, and the director of Sky Meadow Institute, an organization dedicated to promoting systems-based thinking about the things that matter most.
James Cussen joins me to discuss his probing 6-part critique of "metamodernism" (so called). We go deep into the historical strands of metamodern theory to debate the relative merits/demerits of various approaches to the topic and, along the way, explore novel approaches to thorny problems.

What's UTOK (The Unified Theory of Knowledge) in a nutshell? This presentation is even more compact than the recently published book by Sky Meadow Press. Here Gregg Henriques unpacks it all in a concise series of illustrated terms and icons.

Our education system is built on the modern factory model. It is failing. We need one built on models of organic complexity, evolution, and development. We have the theory (e.g. dynamic skill theory), we just need the implementation.

We discussed my love for the book, meaning as adaptive information, bogus learning, information overload, wisdom, the evolution of sacredness, and much more.
