About this episode

Thomas Huebl interviews Bayo Akomolafe about understanding reality and the necessary shifts for social transformation.

This week, Thomas sits down with celebrated speaker, posthumanist thinker, poet, teacher, and author, Bayo Akomolafe, for a philosophical and spiritual exploration into how we understand reality and the radical perception shifts and awakenings that are necessary for true social transformation to become possible. In his uniquely poetic way, Bayo interrogates traditional solutions to social and ecological problems that only uphold harmful norms, and offers that real change is brought about through what he calls “cracks”—disruptions to systems and modes of thinking that inspire new ideas instead of trying to bring about change via the ineffective paths that are already built into our failing social structures. He and Thomas discuss the discomfort that comes with ushering in new realities, and how important it is that we lean in to this uncomfortable uncertainty, embrace radical compassion, and rethink our relationship to the more-than-human world. ✨ Watch the video version of this episode on YouTube: 👉 https://youtu.be/U7kgPzozjlY Video episodes are typically posted at 8am PT/ 11am ET ✨ Bayo Akomolafe is a widely celebrated international speaker, posthumanist thinker, poet…
