Tyson Yunkaporta is the author of Sand Talk - a book which examines the modern would through an indigenous lens, weaving together traditional knowledge systems, complex systems theory, dreaming narratives, art and philosophy.

In our second yarn we discuss Matariki and the universality of narratives surrounding the Pleiades star cluster; high context vs low context cultures; distribution of violence within civilisation; Tyson’s views on transhumanism; cultural synthesis; sentience in land + more.This conversation is preceded by an excerpt from Sand Talk read by Tyson - something between a Dreaming Story and a meditation - best experienced in a quiet place with intention and focus. The regular discussion begins at 30:52.
