Jeremy rough1 on "Restoring Connective Tissue"

<p>In this interview, <strong>Jeremy Lent,</strong> "one of the greatest thinkers of our age" according to renown journalist George Monbiot, discusses ecological reality, how we understand it, and what we should do next as a society. Jeremy contrasts our modern ways of thinking about existence with the ancient ways from China and the world's Indigenous communities. He shares how <em>connectedness</em>, "which is to say love," is the essence of these ancient worldviews and today's burgeoning complexity science. Jeremy describes the necessity of "deep transformation" into an "ecological civilization," the reality that "the health of the whole system requres the health of each part of the system", and shares what keeps him going. </p><p><br><strong>About Jeremy</strong><br><a href="https://www.jeremylent.com">Jeremy Lent</a> is author of two breakthrough books on consciousness and Western Civilization. <strong>The Patterning Instinct</strong> is a cultural history of humanity’s search for meaning, and <strong>The Web of Meaning</strong> explores and weaves together wisdoms from ancient China, traditional Indigenous communities, Western philosophy, and today's Sciences.
