Listen now (69 mins) | On false epistemic humility, the problem with the Intellectual Dark Web, the dead ends of Ken Wilber's Integral Theory, and more
Hey Rayner, found you through Brent's recent Patreon post show-casing your conversation. Loved your spacious hosting, and particularly resonated with what I took as a desire for an encouragement toward people developing a stronger and more confident and more secure sense of showing up with their genuine experience -- so that they can contribute to collective thinking, rather than being simply recipients of others' thoughts. And I really enjoyed your description of "Fierce Grace." In a world where people experience that their own labor is less and less a source of supporting their and others' survival, and instead much of their effort and attention goes towards securing and furthering their status, this kind of fierce grace is maybe much harder to come by compared to people in past generations. What (in your coaching practice) are some of the more promising pathways for people to discover that accepting this kind of responsibility for their own stance actually improves their lives, even at the risk of making mistakes and -- occasionally -- saying something that gets them into hot waters, but then still makes things objectively better...?
Hi Jochen! Thanks for listening, and for your comments. Given the complexities of our current age and the intensifying extraction we're seeing, the most promising pathway I know comes through my work on the goddess Eris and what she teaches us about our times: https://raynerjaeliu.com/#woman-warrior
Started listening to the conversation with Charlie. Interesting stuff! I would be curious how you think about the dimension of receptivity (which is for me at least one important aspect of the feminine, which McGilchrist calls right-hemispheric attention/processing) vs. penetration/grasping (left-hemisphere attention/processing), and to what extent a "woman-warrior" archetype integrates (or transcends) this dimension to allow for "receptive penetration" of sorts...
I go into a lot of that in the course! I also have a few articles on my Substack where I sprinkle some clues on this topic, with mentions of McGilchrist.

I’ll check it out!! :) thanks for the quick response!
That's the full-course meal. Here's an easier start, and I'll be sharing more about her as time goes on. I like to say that amid a metacrisis, we need a meta goddess to get through this: https://raynerjaeliu.substack.com/p/discussing-eris-goddess-of-equity
