Scientific, cultural, and political revolution go hand in hand

It’s almost trite to speak of our current moment as a paradigm shift. Yet, if we root the concept in Kuhn’s analysis of scientific revolution, it may be a useful lens with which to make sense of these times of massive change.

When we understand the current dominant mode of thought in a historical and global context, it becomes clear that its basis in reductive materialism is by far the anomaly. A more spiritual or animist worldview is the norm both historically and globally.

This episode looks at this from a decolonial perspective. In the future I want to come at the same question from scientific and philosophical perspectives, a line of thinking I started exploring here (in my most popular blog post, which I’ve unlocked for a time).
