Sensation. Way-making. Invitation. Exploration. Conversations in love and philosophy. Beyond Dichotomy.These are research conversations with scientists, artists, researchers & philosophers to understand how our approach to life and cognition might address some of the urgent divides we face today. By love and philosophy, I mean the people, passions, and ideas that move us, shape the trajectories of our lives, and co-create our wider social landscapes. Partly due to my trajectory in philosophy, technology, & the cognitive sciences, I’m hoping to better observe binary distinctions in our academic & personal lives (science vs. spiritual, mental vs. physical, technological vs. biological).  What positive roles have these structures played?  How might rethinking these structures & their parameters open new paths & ecological potentials?  The topics are wild and broad at times but always with the thread of common patterns, as this started as (book and PhD) research towards better understanding a convergence of topics across traditional disciplines and demarcations, and as a way of challenging my own ideas and philosophy and getting feedback about how to make my own work of better service.Videos on the Research Channel at: https://www.youtube.com/@waymaking23 Research website: Beyond Dichotomy: www.loveandphilosophy.com
