Trauma, curiosity, creativity, and freedom

Why walking well might just transform your life

Charlie Rykken shares his thoughts on what it means to be a philosophical journalist, and how important sensemaking is for modern polymaths.

Collective consciousness emerges because we agree in groups on how to think, and live, work, and be. Historically, this emergence was unplanned, and this created many problems in our world, culminating in the polycrisis we have today. We could reimagine planet earth, though - and we should. This will require not only the power of Polymathic intelligence but also of morality.
