He critiques modern clarity and urges for deeper awareness, suggesting that rigidity in identity or truth stifles true transformation. Drawing from Yoruba cosmology, quantum physics, and posthumanism, he presents a world always in flux, where boundaries are constantly negotiated. Akomolafe delves into the problematic nature of hope, challenging its role in perpetuating despair. He also contrasts transhumanism's quest for mastery over nature with posthumanism's emphasis on interconnectedness. Through stories and metaphors, including the Ship of Theseus, he dismantles conventional notions of self and existence, inviting listeners to consider more holistic approaches to ethics, morality, and the human condition. __________________ 🎬 IN OUR EPISODE: 00:00:00 - A Personal Journey: From Faith to Philosophy 00:07:23 - Yoruba Cosmology and Western Influence 00:13:20 - Rhizomes and Relational Metaphysics 00:18:11 - Posthumanism vs. Transhumanism 00:28:07 - Ethics, Morality, and Emergent Structures 00:32:35 - Presence and the Ship of Theseus 00:39:00 - Deconstructing Modernity’s Paradigms 00:44:26 - Embracing the Middle: Life as a Giant Interconnected Network 00:54:06 - Composting Ourselves: A New Approach to Hope 00:58:54 - Symbiosis and the Nature of Faith 01:03:46 - Reimagining Hope: Dionysian Festivals over Utopian Dreams ___________________ 🎙️ LISTEN & SUBSCRIBE TO OUR AUDIO PODCAST Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2HJCflVnHRDmvNtI8r2a65?si=692723d115ce4ef2/ Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/inspired-evolution/id1272090974/ ___________________ 🤝 JOIN OUR INSPIRED EVOLUTION COMMUNITY ✦ Website: https://www.inspiredevolution.com/ ✦ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@InspiredEvolution/ ✦ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/inspired_evolution/ ✦ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/inspiredevolution/ ✦ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@inspired_evolution/ ___________________ 🔗 CONNECT WITH GUEST ✦Websites: https://www.bayoakomolafe.net - https://www.emergencenetwork.org ✦ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/the_emergence_network/ ___________________ Get your copies of Bayo Akomolafe's books here: 👉https://inspiredevolution.com/BayoAkomolafe-Books ___________________ 👆 Disclaimer: The views and opinions in this podcast are of the guests and do not necessarily reflect the views or positions of The Inspired Evolution, it’s subsidiaries, or any entities they represent. ___________________ 🌈 STAY INSPIRED & KEEP EVOLVING ! 👀 SEE YOU IN THE NEXT ONE ! 🙌 YEW !
