    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 Website Flourishing Commons Newsletter Show 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 Gonzalez Music by swelo on all streaming platforms or @swelomusic on social media

    Zachary Ugolnik - Science & spirituality, heightened states of community, and new conceptions of flourishing

    Zachary Ugolnik has for years been charting a new path that refuses the tired and inanimate narrative about the separateness of science and spirituality, reason and religion. In his life we find rich possibility when those old illusory dichotomies are discarded, and from that possibility perhaps new wisdom for creating a society full of care and flourishing, one that embraces our inherent needfulness and borrows from theology, ecology, and the social sciences.  Origins Podcast Website Flourishing Commons Newsletter Show Notes: locate shared spaces of curiosity across disciplines (11:50)Émile Durkheim and collective effervescence (13:45)Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences (CASBS) at Stanford University (14:10 and 16:20)through lines between religion and social science (13:45)Victor and Edith Turner  communitas (15:00)Simone Weil decreation (18:30)re-membering (22:00)Zach's book: The Collective Self (18:30)Theater of War (24:00)Byzantine iconography and perspective (26:00)Picasso "Le Taureau" (26:20)The Social Science of Caregiving (27:30)Flourishing Knowledge Commons (27:45)Margaret Levi communities of fate (27:50)"Mobilizing in the Interest of Others" by Levi and Ugolnik (30:00)Buddhism and interdependence (31:50)Collective action problems (34:40)flourishing systems (37:30)Ilya Prigogine and dissipative structures (39:30)Danielle Allen (42:15)philanthropy (44:30)Strother School of Radical Attention (52:30)Andrei Rublev (52:50)Daniel Kahneman (53:50)Syriac term Iḥidāyā (55:00)Lightning Round (57:30):Book: The Way of the Pilgrimand The Narrow Road to the Deep North and Other Travel Sketches by Matsuo BashōPassion: travelHeart sing: swimming with my kidsScrewed up: eulogy Find Zach online:https://zacharyugolnik.com/Logo artwork by Cristina Gonzalez Music by swelo on all streaming platforms or @swelomusic on social media

    Season Eight Trailer: A meditation on conversation and the collective narrative of our time

    Origins Podcast Website Hello friends, a new season of Origins arrives next week, on Tuesday, May 20.  This next chapter of Origins is about exploring conversation, that great practice of placing two things next to one another and allowing them to be astonished by the other. It is also about exploring the collective narrative of our time.  This trailer is both introduction and meditation on how Origins is more than a podcast: a space for collective inquiry into living well in a fractured world. Over on Substack we’re cultivating not just conversation but community—a space for listening, reflection, and co-creation. This season, you’ll find templates born from the gatherings surrounding some of these episodes: guides for more generative encounters, wider conversations, and more generous questions. These tools aren’t prescriptions, but invitations. Flourishing Commons Newsletter

    David Woods - the science of resilience, graceful extensibility, and facilitating insight

    Few concepts are more important to our society than resilience. Agnostic of domain, of nation, culture, and scale (as vital, indeed, to the individual life as to the planetary civilization), it would be impossible to overstate the pressure on us to understand it. If resilience is a core competency of our time, it would not be hyperbole to say that Dr. David Woods one of our most important thinkers.  Origins Podcast Website Flourishing Commons Newsletter Show Notes: three mile island (07:20)resilience engineering (12:30)the theory of graceful extensibility (12:30)The Risk Society by Ulrich Beck (13:10)how do you know?

    Paul Smaldino - Social identities, collective intelligence, and an ambling open life

    Paul Smaldino is an explorer. That might seem like an odd way to describe a professor of cognitive science, but anyone who has glanced at his biography will recognize that he lives his life in exploration. His scholarship as his life are inspiration for keeping the lines of inquiry wide open and the things we can discover in doing so.
