Dan Jay - Doubt, collectivity, and transformative creativity

Dr. Dan Jay has a mission to inspire where art and science meet. His life has been spent in the liminal and generative space between and among these domains of inquiry that are too often considered separate, distinct, even opposing. Yet, it is transformative creativity only possible from the co-mingling and conversation of art and science that we seem to be called to in the 21st century. Origins Podcast WebsiteFlourishing Commons NewsletterShow Notes:Falling Upward by Richard Rohr (05:20)Hinduism four stages of life (05:50)Society of Fellows (10:00)David Hubel (12:20)Will Ryman (13:00)Dan's hypercube series (20:00)self-emptying (24:30)Why we need an academic career path that combines science and art (27:00)Burroughs Wellcome Fund (28:00)Arthur Zajonc - 'something for the light to fall on' (31:00)Enfold initiative (32:00)collective over community (32:15)Ancient Greek symposium (35:00)Émile Durkheim - collective effervescence (38:30)Joie de vivre (38:30)vulnerability and frailty (41:30)compassionate leadership (42:40)flourishing (45:30)TS Eliot "The Four Quartets" (46:30)Souq al Arabi (48:20) "all flourishing is mutual" Robin Wall Kimmerer (52:00)encounters with flourishing (52:20)nuanced conception of flourishing (52:30)Lightning round (53:30)Book: Civilisation by Kenneth Clark Passion: spiritualityHeart sing: inspiration for his missionScrewed up: failed marriage Find Dan online:http://www.danjayart.com/https://smfa.tufts.edu/directory/dan-jayLogo artwork by Cristina GonzalezMusic by swelo on all streaming platforms or @swelomusic on social media
