Sep 5, 2023 • METANOIA: HOW WORLDVIEWS CHANGE
Video Description:
Little remains to be said about the ecological crisis except that our perceptions of it vary radically. Metanoia, which means "a transformative change of heart," examines why most people are so utterly unresponsive to witnessing the world die, while a few of us are deeply burdened. Abandoning Enlightenment notions of undifferentiated rationality, Tanner Millen and Arnold Schroder search for the embodied, experiential variables that make paths to ecological awakening narrow. From neurophysiological variation in subject-object perceptions to material precarity, from the temperaments elicited by political narratives to the spontaneous nature of mystical experience, we ask whether and how worldviews change. Integrating narratives of perceptual transformation with the findings of fields like political psychology and cognitive science, we attempt to develop methods for inducing experiential shifts in others.

The part where these two guys are talking about what’s really going on in academia — the propaganda being sold as “education” there, is fascinating and disturbing.
