Corey Brown on The Pop-Up School

Thank you for sharing! I am grateful that I have the day free and was able to spend my morning listening to this. The podcast came at the perfect time for me, as well. When watching Gafni and Stein speak about Cosmo-Erotic Humanism on Monday, I commented on how we need a people-led movement and how we should stop giving away our power to billionaires. Someone commented about how we as people need money and power to have influence. In that moment, my brain shut off, yet her comment stuck with me. I've been thinking about this since, and I don't necessarily believe that is true. As said in this podcast, as an outsider in this liminal space, I think what you all are doing is stealing culture, just maybe not at the pace you would like. As JR stated, there is a sense of urgency and that we are talking more than doing. I'd agree with what you said, Bonnitta, that the writing and podcasting are doing. From my own experience as someone who doesn't have a substack or podcast, I let all of these ideas run through me. I am not sure where it is leading, and I want it to lead somewhere. I almost do what Layman calls "meditationalizing" to take these ideas and try to implement them into my life, to embody them. I think the Point JR makes around 39 mins in about how every subgroup are different ingredients to a cake stood out to me. From my perspective, it seems as if the subgroups are competing around what is coming and how to deal with it. These ideas, I would argue, need to be integrated, and we need to co-create; it's not one or the other; it's a both/and. I had the same thought Sunday listening to Tom Amarque on Parallax talking about Gafni and a return to eros, yet how Bard and others think it's more of a return to Freud and the libidinal. Amarque raises the question, why can't it be both? I agree it seems like this very tribal thing is still occurring, and maybe that is something that we can't transcend as people. Thank you for always pushing the limits of my thinking :)
