Dark Matter Mother

When I started this series, Science and the Erotic Order, I didn’t know I’d be initiated into even deeper layers of perception of and grieving for the denigration of Goddess in the West and the immense ripples that mythic inheritance has sent through the millenia, and through the world. But that’s what it means to do this kind of work publicly. You can’t be public about these things, and not be asked to go deeper with it yourself. After publishing the first few episodes in late Summer, early Fall of 2024, I started having some intense and profound experiences that I needed to process privately before I could return to working on this series. This is a heartfelt exploration of what this series is really about. I set aside argument, proof, evidence—just for a moment, so I can express where this is all going; a sort of preliminary and tentative conclusion, if you will. This is an exploration of gender in the sciences; how gender was woven into the very birth of science in the scientific revolution; how our mythic inheritance has shaped even this supposedly objective aspect of our culture; what that means for contemporary thought and psychology; and what we might do to right the imbalance. This episode is part of my series Science and the Erotic Order.
