Zak Stein Part 1: Music and Tragedy Between Worlds

This is the first part of mindblowing conversation I had with Dr. Zak Stein.  Trigger warning.  We go really deep really fast.     Zak Stein is philosopher of education working at the interface of psychology, metaphysics, and politics. He has published two books, including Education in Time Between Worlds, along with dozens of articles. This writing was done as he worked co-founding a non-profit and think tank, as well as teaching graduate students at Harvard, and consulting with technology start-ups. Zak is a long time meditator, musician and caregiver, which has shaped him more than any professional engagements.  (Source: https://www.systems-souls-society.com/people) In this wide-ranging conversation we discuss:   Ivan Illich De-schooling society Dyslexia and Music  Crisis of Teacherly Authority Tragic and post tragic world views The unbearable image Alchemy 30 years war - John Amos ComeniusConcrete Utopianism The messiah And so much more Rene Girard and Scapegoating DONATE ON PAYPAL Patreon Medium Rebel Wisdom Articles Twitter Facebook Writing etc by Andrew Sweeny: Patreon Medium Rebel Wisdom Articles Twitter Facebook Intro music: Longstone:  https://soundcloud.com/longstone/works-in-progress-ep-01-menhir
