    PREVIEW --> Life In a Liminal Age (Part 1): An "Unprecedented" Experience

    SUBSCRIBE to PostEverything via APPLE or SPOTIFY We all know what it feels like to live in a "liminal age," but describing it is surprisingly difficult. Why? Because it is both an acceleration of something familiar AND it is even more dehumanizing than we thought. In what we hope is an incredibly validating conversation, Brad and John outline the 3 Primary Symptoms of Life in a Liminal Age (Loneliness, Loss of Capacity, and Disorientation) and lay a foundation for a 3-Part mini-series on "remapping culture" in all its surprisingly precedentedimplications...  Was this episode helpful or encouraging in some way?

    A NEW "PostEverything" Vision for a Liminal Age

    It's one thing to experience a change in circumstances, but something wholly different when we experience such a fundamental change in values and assumptions that we no longer HAVE a social consensus to fall back on. It's as if the rules of the game changed at half-time, and now we're playing a sport we don't even recognize. Welcome to our "PostEverything" world, where what came before is no longer, but what's next is still very unclear... but not without hope. Was this episode helpful or encouraging in some way?
