Podcast of the Day/XE: John Michael Greer on the History of Apocalyptic Thinking and its Limitations

Podcast of the Day/XE: John Michael Greer on the History of Apocalyptic Thinking and its Limitations | Peer2Politics | Scoop.it

Even though we live in an age of economic decline and collapse, do our expectations for the future act similarly to the thought patterns of religious faiths expecting the end of the world?  For the last 3,000 years, our species has used the meme of apocalypse to create the expectation for a utopia that never arose.

Transforming the rational autonomous ego towards commons-oriented subjectivity | P2P Foundation

Transforming the rational autonomous ego towards commons-oriented subjectivity | P2P Foundation | Peer2Politics | Scoop.it
