Together Andrea Hiott and Evan Thompson (https://evanthompson.me/biography/) explore themes such as the impact of idealized scientific models on our understanding of reality, the importance of integrating arts and humanities with STEM disciplines, and the urgency of addressing ecological and meaning crises. The episode also touches on the historical context and influences behind Thompson's work, including his upbringing around pioneering thinkers like Lynn Margulis, Francisco Varela and Gregory Bateson. Evan wrote The Blind Spot with astrophysicist Adam Frank and theoretical physicist Marcelo Gleiser.

i know WIT well and appreciate him.
a furtive glance at the topics list make lisnin in the hopes for concrete examples a risky investment .. and my courage / optimism fund has been wiped out by some drops of round up aimed at a doorstep dandelion by a nutcase neighbour .. despite the splashes of water i had given it daily in a very hot period. i learnt a thing or two about sneekiness and kneejerk tier 1 satanic witchery dovetailing with top of the line work in the field, like breaking one of the oldest smallest aminos [in the 50s[ taking off as one of the greatest moneyspinners since the 70s / 80s, emboldening the covid heist even more than christ's crucifixion darkened the skies.
