Conscious Evolution: Exploring a Radical Spiritual Futurism with Ramon Parish
Description
Ramon Parish, a returning guest, is associate professor of Interdisciplinary Studies at Naropa University and works on climate justice initiatives with his wife Michelle Gabrieloff-Parish.
In this episode, we discuss ‘radical futures’—novel ideas of how humanity will evolve into the future—looking at ethno-spiritual futurism (in particular, Afro-futurism, Sun Ra, and the idea of a servant class), the potential impacts of media and AI (artificial intelligence) on human consciousness and development, a spiritually-informed futurism after the Agricultural Revolution, evolutionary and sacred models of human development and maturity, the categories of sacred and the profane, the needs of the individual and the collective, science and magic, customized bodies and environments, science fiction and Frank Herbert’s Dune series, science and scientism.
