#18 | Next Culture & The Rise of Archearchy - Clinton Callahan (Possibility Management)
“What in modern culture has prepared us to have this conversation? Nothing, really nothing.”
My guest today is Clinton Callahan, an author and cultural edgewalker that calls himself a memetic engineer. He is the originator of Possibility Management, a copyleft open-code collection of thoughtmaps, tools, distinctions, and healing/initiation processes which anyone can use as “thoughtware” for next culture.
Clinton strikes me as a man from the future. And by that, I mean one who has explored the edges of our current paradigm, and has developed a sophisticated and complex series of memetic distinctions that compose an entirely different gameworld than our modern dominant context.
In our sweeping conversation, we cover a lot of ground including: the importance of lowering your numbness bar to develop the capacity to truly feel again, understanding our Box intelligence that keeps us from stepping outside of the familiar, and what he believes lies beyond matriarchy and patriarchy - the rise of archearchy.
It’s okay if you feel a bit lost for the first half hour of our conversation. I promise, it will all make sense (maybe) by the end.
Enjoy this conversation.
