FTP111: Ken Wilber - What's The Problem With The World Today?


This is the beginning of our series of interviews with Ken Wilber.

Ken Wilber is the author of over 25 books and the creator of Integral Theory, which has been one of the most influential frameworks for understanding the stages of human development. For that he’s been sometimes called the “Einstein of consciousness studies”.

This is a multi-part interview, and we start by talking about Integral Theory from a historical perspective, and the current stage of societal development. Ken also offers his comments of Jordan Peterson’s interpretation of awakening and Greta Thunberg’s climate activism.

In later parts, we will be talking about the Metamodernism movement, transition to the so-called 2nd tier stages of human development, as well as shadow work and practices that can help us get to the higher stages of development.

Deconstructing Identity - Adapt to the Future #01

Deconstructing Identity - Adapt to the Future #01 How getting defensive and identifying with our ideas, roles and groups, prevents us from communicating, collaborating, and relating better to others. It's harder than ever to have difficult and productive conversations. Most of us are dealing with some sort of personal trauma, and we're finding it difficult to remain sovereign in our thinking. Communication breakdown is everywhere, and an Us vs. Them mentality seems to be standard. In this episode of Adapt to the Future you will learn: - The key strategies to deal with defensiveness; - Recovery and prevention techniques; - Identity deconstruction technique; - How to have more productive conversations with people of opposing views; - How to transform disagreements into deeper insights on the truth. Adapt to the Future video series explores the different ways you can improve how you make sense of what is happening, adapt to change, and contribute more meaningfully to the world. In future episodes we will cover subjects related to sense making and cognitive sovereignty, resilience and shadow work, upgrading culture & society, and overcoming the meaning crisis.

Adapt to the Future Video Series (Trailer)

Adapt to the Future Video Series (Trailer) Future Thinkers launch a new video series on adapting to a changing world We’re nearly 8 billion people on the planet, facing some major social, political, economic and environmental problems. Many of us want to do something about it but we feel stuck and unsure of what to do. We’re struggling to find the right action to take on issues like conflict, poverty, the destruction of nature, and spread of misinformation. There are many conflicting perspectives on this problem, and it’s difficult to make sense of what is going on and what to do about it. Should we build a bunker? Elect better authorities? Tear down the power structures? Create a new system? Build a civilization on Mars? Take more personal responsibility? To answer these questions, Future Thinkers are creating a new video series, which explores different ways in which we can improve how we make sense of what is happening, adapt to change, and contribute meaningfully to the world. The video episodes will cover subjects related to: - Sense-making and cognitive sovereignty: getting clear about how we perceive, think about, and take action in the world. - Resilience and shadow work: facing the unconscious mind and our evolved nature to become more resilient. - Upgrading culture & society: experimenting with new systems for society, governance and civilization. - Overcoming the meaning crisis: finding the path to a life of meaning and purpose. Support this video series by sharing the trailer, discussing or mentioning the series on your channel, or becoming a member at https://ift.tt/2DJJIFI. Future Thinkers is a media platform, community, and education portal dedicated to the evolution of society, technology, and consciousness. Our mission is to help people wake up, evolve, and adapt to the changing world.

Nora Bateson is an award-winning filmmaker, writer, educator, and the President of the International Bateson Institute.

Joker Is A Warning

Joker Is A Warning The new Joker film with Joaquin Phoenix is an extremely timely and relevant commentary on what is happening in the Western world right now.

In many ways, the film is a warning.

FTP104: Retreat Center Vision & Other New Projects


We’ve been diving deep into several projects lately - growing our courses, designing a brand new meditation app, starting the global Future Thinkers meetup initiative, and brainstorming the creation of an in-person retreat center for exploring the ideas and practices we talk about on the podcast and in our courses.

In this episode we discuss our vision for this retreat center, why we want to create it, and what we want to do there. This is still in a very early stage and a work in progress.

We want to share our intention and invite you to collaborate with us on this idea if you feel inspired by it.
