“The top environmental problems are selfishness, greed and apathy, and to deal with these we need a cultural and spiritual transformation." – Gus Speth

Speth's words resonate. We need new epic narratives, which guide people during times of social and environmental decline.

We’re facing undeniable social & environmental decline. We have the data, but we're missing something crucial: new narratives.
Epics gave people frameworks to navigate their complex worlds. We need new epics to catalyze systemic reform, provide meaning, and unite us to act in this pivotal moment.

Thrilled to introduce Mythos and Modalities, my new podcast, launching in just two weeks!

I explore how ancient epics are actually sophisticated systems models of reality. We dive into how systems thinking unlocks deeper meanings in these timeless stories, and why modern epics are crucial today.

Epic narratives are fundamentally systemic in their very design.
They're not just stories; they're intricate models of reality that inherently contain systemic principles. These are then expressed through diverse cultural forms, like how xenia functions in The Odyssey or dharma in The Ramayana.
