“People should be dubious of their own certainty.” This was 3.5 hours of fire. No filler, just straight up fire. Thank you Before Skool for using your platform for this purpose.
@@esterhudson5104Yes, but that isn't the same thing as not actually being dubious in the first place! There is always the chance that one could inadvertently be making an error in judgements of both certainly OR uncertainty.
@@esterhudson5104 Did you hear the part where he talked about the insidious and ubiquitous implantation of ideas and opinions into the minds of the masses by means of memetic tools? If not, give it another listen. It’s worth an earnest attempt to fully understand. Yeah, so... Thats why. Yes, perhaps we should also be dubious of our dubiousness, but I feel like this question naturally occurs if you understand what he meant by what he said.
What is remarkable is that its almost impossible to carefully listen to what Daniel is saying without getting transformed by it. He pushes you into Integrity like no other thinker I know of.
@@Madonnalitta1 the way up to absolute integrity at each level of consciousness must be done in a community of people who understand the way up to absolute integrity. It is not for the faint of heart. Yes Daniel pushes you to a deeper, higher integrity. More include, negate and transcend horizontal and vertical integrity. Daniel has integrated his consciousness on a large scale of the four quadrants of existence. I feel that he has a level of reflexivity of the truth, the good and the beautiful. From reflective to reflexive en-circuitment and embodiment.
@@conceptualelegance He'd never admit it publicly, but DS will vote for Trump. Not that he loves Trump but the imbalance at this point is absolutely insane and plunging toward civil war.
Time will tell if his knowledge and insights can maintain the point of the spearhead or if such information will sooner than later be blunted by the bad actors; I generally suspect they aren't creative enough to outmaneuver but plenty of harm can come from large swathes of harm unleashed, and "luck" can occur especially during the final blows of the status quo establishment's temper tantrum as they attempt to maintain their illusion of control, while attempting to avoid the consequences of accountability and justice. Are we at the tipping point in a yin-yang cycle of dark ages turning bright, or are we about to deep dive into hell?
Thanks for sharing your own perspective shifts. The more we normalize being ok with changing our minds, the better. What are some of the other beliefs this conversation made you reevaluate?
Most of his theories only work with the assumption life without humans would create perfection on earth. But without humans there would be more predators, less herbivores which would create more insects and vegetation which would change everything in a way our small feeble minds can never know or assume. Which makes most of his presuppositions just mental maturation. Be careful what you buy into, we are here for a purpose, and the good in humanity far out weighs the bad.
@@jodihouts6032Humanity is the most devastating “predator” in the world. We hold billions of animals in confinement to eat, not because we must do so to survive but because it tastes good. We routinely tear down entire ecosystems to build our “nests”, or to extract resources we can use to make things we want to have. It is likely that millions of species have gone extinct because of us across every habitat on earth. By ecological definitions, we are a devastatingly dangerous invasive species, at absolute best. Humanity in its current form is objectively a scourge against the natural system of the world. And this fails to mention our presence as a geoengineering species, which may end up bringing about the largest extinction event in our planet’s known history. We must acknowledge that so we can make the difficult decisions to ameliorate some of the damage we have done to the complex system of life we live alongside.
@@robtallon9927 I'd bet $1000 that Daniel holds the same attitudes/beliefs about Covid as Charles. Absolutely no way is Schmachtenberger vaccinated. No way in hell.
This is my introduction to Daniel. I teared up a bit. Especially near the end. You can see his failure. His fear. His greatest shortcoming is offering so much, and yet so few are willing or capable of digesting the wisdom he freely offers. Clearly a burden of self imposition. I know this torture. He's not said a thing that I had not already plied to the same conclusion, or freely offered to others. We would have a very boring conversation. I am captivated, though. At this point, it's a human interest. This man is afflicted with wisdom that demands a tortured mind to manifest. Even at best case scenario, you survive with an existential dread and morbid fascination that immediately removes you from mainstream society. That's a pretty lonely existence. I want the readers of this post to realize that he's not broadcasting or grandstanding as he explains these concepts. This is essentially a casual conversation on any given Tuesday. If it weren't directed outward, this 3 hour tour would be captioned with internal thought in moments. The composition of history, tech, biology, religion, human behavior. And yet his understanding will fall to mostly deaf ears. I understand that this sounds overtly presumptuous, but this is actually an attempt to convey what he shares. Nothing is free, and certainly not wisdom. Thank you for giving him credit. I do.
"Poverty is the result of what we call 'civilization'," speaks to how important it is to have a thought process that is not bound by commoditization. Schmachtenberger's insight is on point. Great podcast.

I am thankful for every long talk Daniel Schmachtenberger does. I listen, let it sink in, and after a while I listen to it again. Thanks for providing viewpoints on complex issues every single time! I just wish those with 'real' 'power' would listen.
he's a good entry point into metacrisis/polycrisis literature, but all he does is introductory level popularizing. his level of understanding is more or less baseline, and it's nothing new, just stuff packaged together that's been around for decades.
I think the real draw back to this whole conversation is that humans are thought of as good or benign. Humans are selfish at best and evil at worse. It's crazy to express wonder in this at all.

The idea of optimising for rewards in a domain you don't actually enjoy for its own sake, the reward structure ingrained in us around progress and striving as opposed to maintenance and appreciation of the ground of meaning, what is... yeah, this was an insight that meant a lot. Thanks for the discussion 🙏
I just had dinner, the baby is sleeping, the wife is watching a movie, and I am going to fucking sit the fuck down and I am going to listen to this and do nothing more for the rest of the night.
Thank you Daniel for continuing to Love, educate, and inspire us all. Even when hope is scarce, you continue to pour your heart out. If we make it through, it will be in no small part to you and everyone who makes you you.
Daniel's thoughts on "progress" at 1hr 47m and maintenance of life being the foundation of everything, contrasted with ego gratifying "advancements" that "make the history books", specifically as it relates to the division of labor between men and women...NICE! LOVE THAT.
Such an intelligent, knowledgeable, well read and wise person who is capable to think critically out of the mainstream teachings and connect the dots across fields. I am so so glad I have come across these videos and that I can relate with my personal views to someone who can back it with so many valid and logical arguments in a very rational way and goes beyond to explain the gaps that are bringing us closer to the real truth!
I've never come across a talker that feels so aligned with my truths. Some of which he introduces me to, others that he affects the perspective of. Ultimately, he adds to me in a way that brings me back to my own truth and loosens the shackles of ego and societal programing. I can only have a deep sense of thanks and brotherhood. 🙏
Every time I listen to Daniel, my heart opens wider and breaks completely. It's a fine line between the excruciatingly painful realities he remind us of, and the deep deep desire for the co-creation of the beautiful world we know is possible should we decide to go through the nearly impossible task now of swerving the Titanic and avoiding the iceberg. Systems collapse is clearly underway. And we are going down. Meanwhile, personally, we can all endeavor to make a meaningful contribution and tell our loved ones how much we love them, and how grateful we are to be aware of our awareness of the glory of being existence.
Yes! And isn’t that just the point? To come away questioning? His empathy for all life shines through and his distinction between saying “everything is perfect and exactly as its meant to be” rather than learning to first understand “what is” and then, perhaps, create transformation is, to me, what is missing in New Age speak. Loved this.
This was an amazing conversation. What a mic drop at the end though! Congratulations, man! Welcome to fatherhood! I would agree with Daniel, those first 3 years are more important to them than it will be to you, so make sure you share your love with them. It will be tough, but the growth that you are about to experience from your child and yourself will be awe inspiring. God speed, on the journey of a new life.
I love what he says about maintenance vs advancement - I always feel guilty for not "advancing" as quickly (ofc there is natural growth - but it's slower and much more full). I've just been striving to maintain things to a better standard on a daily basis and it can feel so small compared to the advancement of others. It now feels much more noble. ❤ And about the interconnectedness and our lost ability to see the world and life through a holistic view - so much division and separation...
Please pass on my love and hug to Daniel. I have been with you since your first conversation and would like to thank you for being you. I see you and hear you. You are wonderfully human. A culmination of evolutionary perception and selflessness in talking your truth. I thank you. Love and peace and namaste Daniel.
Why can't we have smart, thoughtful and reflective people in leadership positions in this country? Writing in Daniel Schmachtenberger!! This one is my absolute favorite, thank you!
I took notes. These are medicinal thoughts, on topics I didn't even know I thinking in an ignorant way. This logic is stunning and I will process as much as I can.
I came back to watch again and probably again next week. This was very special & deeply thought provoking. ❤ much love to both of you divine masculine ✨
On the part of how kids are raised, I’ve taught and still teach my two young kids the dangers of conformity and compliance(watch this movie!!!), they now understand the value of critical thinking, importance of reasoning, how to spit biases, trying to understand emotional intelligence and to question everything. For that, the school teacher feels undermined by my 9year old. And she tried to argue the dangers of teaching kids critical thinking. I wasn’t sure if I should cry or laugh at the same time.
@@polymathpark Indeed. I would also add Karl Friston, Iain McGilchrist, Rupert Sheldrake, and Dennis Hoffman to that roster of enlightening brilliance.
This is the most soul-touching interview I have listened in years. It brought tears to my eyes, it is imposible to remain the same after listening to it. Thank you! ❤🙏🏼
I've spent the past week slowly but surely watching this wonderful conversation, sometimes re-listening to parts, always deeply appreciating it, hopefully intergrating what I heard. Thank you, Daniel and thank you BSP---good luck on your upcoming, dadhood!
Me too! Taking it in smaller digestible and savoury portions. Revisiting as I need to, to better appreciate each individual message. So much good stuff to take in. I’m old enough to understand some of the context of the negative changes, but young enough to summon the energy to make necessary positive changes. This discussion is pure encouragement for me to change things in a meaningful way. So much gratitude for the opportunity to listen to Daniel, and for AfterSkool. 🙏🏻🕊
One of the smartest thinkers of our time who actually helps see the reality of our metacrisis. We need a global movement led by our smart youth to address the global course leading humanity to its demise. One small addition to Dan's argument regarding world population is that although it may be plateauing, the consuption aspirations and environmental impact of even the poorer population are multiplying. Reminds me of Thomas Friedman's term "americum" and how most Africans, Asians, South Americans, etc would like to become "americums" who consume 10x more than an average citizen from a developing country.
when truth enters the room, all else leaves brilliant guest and a thoroughly sobering conversation on many important topics, thank you for this, very eloquent
I've listened to Daniel a lot but often have got a bit lost. This conversation was deep but I could follow it and feel like I've finally got what Daniel is saying. I found it very moving. Thank you.
I think he's gotten better and better and better over the last 3 years or so. Less jargon. Slower speaking rate. More pauses. Helps the listener (me!) digest.
I am not the first to say this, but yes, this is truly the most rewarding 3 hrs and 39 min I have ever spent since seeing Gone With the Wind in 1974 when I was 12. Is there an extraneous thought in Daniel's head? He is so amazingly concise and clear. And Mark, not sure if this part has ever been said, but I have never enjoyed just watching someone listen as much as I do you. It never feels that you are in competition, or looking for your next question: you just feel so very HERE. What a perfect combination. At 62, I've been watching this slow train wreck for my entire life, and of late have felt that my usefulness here has completely expired. It's so nice to sit back and watch brilliant minds continue to explore/ponder/question, still knowing it's all so beyond any kind of fix. Thank you both!!!
I very much hope that people here listen to Daniel’s message and are curious enough to look into his work, and the work of his colleagues. The viewing base of After Skool is the group who needs to learn from philosophers like this the most.
This was a joy to watch. Daniel is saying all the things I've been thinking for decades - but he says it more cogently than I ever could. He also introduced a number of totally new points of view (for me). Thank-you Daniel and @BeforeSkool for doing this.
Thank you Before Skool and Daniel - I relish in your dialogue. The Global Grief Cycle will need grace for the rapid, tangible loss of Life we may soon experience together. I hope we can come to a collective response that does not alienate and instead cherishes harmony to the ecology, creating a new value system closer to a source that exponentiates the innate curiosities, kindness, and compassion that children often harbor towards all the riches of our empirical Earth. Perhaps if "won't someone think of the children" was "won't someone listen to the children", we would have a stronger sense of The Other as opposed to our systems that often utilize fear to develop The Self. If anything, this has helped me understand my depression and slowly step towards a larger acceptance. Time will tell, and I will try my best not to take for granted being truly present - actively listening and taking notice of our wild & creaturely environment as opposed to the aching, obtrusive thoughts of the often false sense of past & future.
One of the best podcasts i listened ever. Thank you for being such a human interviewer and let the person express at will and confortable , while not trying to fill up like most do.
Asking Daniel a question about an idea of petersons is the closest we have gotten to a conversation between the two which I'd love. Your questions were good and thought provoking. Thank you!
Daniel's take on life makes so much sense when you hear him say it. My brain is simply not wired to see these things. Thank you for explaining this. Truly
This comment section is amazing you all deserve applause as well for the inspiring comments and for caring about this most pressing topic and the leading voice (Daniel) trying to get the word out!
I've watched pretty much all of Daniel's youtube content. All of it is amazing. I love how he keeps explring why things happen and can reference all his own experience and what he has learned from reading and interacting with others. He has allowed me to 'join the dots' in a way no other thinker has. Thanks Before skool for an extremely well structured interview.
I have seen many Schmachtenberger presentations before on alot of these same subjects, but i'm tempted to say here, based on my own 53 years of experience, that almost anything worth saying has been said or alluded to or touched upon in this discussion. They who have ears let them hear!
Wow…Daniel’s going for the full Socrates! My biggest challenge is figuring out how to share Schmachtenberger’s arguments with others, when this means I’m asking them to listen to a 3+ hour discussion. I could really use a Schmachtenberger “knowledge graph” to quickly navigate his bespoke dialectic web of ideas. As a follower, I am now familiar with the breadth and depth of his contribution, yet, as a mortal, am unable to so effortlessly articulate it all in daily conversation.
I have this problem too. I'd love to spread his ideas, and I have asked friends to watch these 3+ hour-long podcasts, but to reach a wider audience there is unfortunately the need to shorten the length of the content. There's always a tradeoff between the depth of the information and the time taken to communicate it, though. Much love
I find this conversation to be one of the most brilliant, insightful, enlightening and enlivening conversations I have ever witnessed in a 70 year lifetime. Strangely, I am taken back to the science fiction novels of Doris Lessing, the Canopus in Argos series. In these novels, two versions of attention/awareness, coming to Earth from alien planets on different and opposing missions, represented current and countercurrent. One, which Lessing called Shammat, was the Earth and life consuming mindset that is our current global Zeitgeist (that Daniel describes so brilliantly) and the character of Donald Trump, would be a perfect example of a representative from Shammat. The countercurrent came from Canopus which was a culture of highly evolved, enlightened beings that tuned whole planets to be in resonance with all life and connection in the Universe and to amplify, nurture and partake of that current of life, relationship, goodness, beauty, love and energy. With those amazing metaphors, Daniel, in Lessing's novels would be the character Johor, a cosmic traveler through all time and space and tasked with restoring and nurturing the "Garden of Earth"... Is there anyone else out there that can see the resonance with Lessing's metaphors?
Daniel was clearly a very profound thinker from a young age (example aged 9, factory farming). He is a remarkably articulate communicator able to fluently discuss in depth a range of subject matter, such that it is readily understandable. Maybe no-one can save human civilization's downward spiral but he is certainly doing more than most to opening our eyes before we approach the abyss.
Daniel is basically as wise of a human that exists in the world today. If I was RFK and I somehow pulled off a miracle and won the election, I would get Daniel in my inner circle as soon as possible. He has to be on the dream team of the circle of the wise who are going to get our species into balance as soon as possible. I’d throw some Native American grandmothers in there too.

It now feels much more noble. ❤ And about the interconnectedness and our lost ability to see the world and life through a holistic view - so much division and separation...
This is why I pay for youtube ad-free❤
The same for me.
SIR. My son and I have had the same talks before I heard this, thank you for putting it all out there! Just WOW!
Beautiful conversation, time well spent. Hope you have Daniel on again, you're a great interviewer. Thank you!
Please pass on my love and hug to Daniel. I have been with you since your first conversation and would like to thank you for being you. I see you and hear you. You are wonderfully human. A culmination of evolutionary perception and selflessness in talking your truth. I thank you. Love and peace and namaste Daniel.
Strong words. The uncertainty principle is worrying, the lack of critical thinking is unnerving. Mutually assured destruction quickly comes to mind.
Most youtube content play-speed: 2X
Podcasts with Daniel Schmachtenberger play-speed: 0.25X
Absolutely! I actually listened to it on normal speed but hit the rewind button more times then I can count lol!
So the game will end when the human being has depleted it all…
What an amazing talk, it gives me shivers!
I am 33 minutes in and I can say this is one of the most fascinating talks I have ever heard. It gives me goose bumps.
Ameň
Check out his older ones from Modern Wisdom aka Chris Williamson podcast and from rebel wisdom.
Why can't we have smart, thoughtful and reflective people in leadership positions in this country? Writing in Daniel Schmachtenberger!! This one is my absolute favorite, thank you!
Best 3.5 hrs spent in ages! (short of dowsing myself in nature) curiosity, humility and awe ❤
I took notes. These are medicinal thoughts, on topics I didn't even know I thinking in an ignorant way. This logic is stunning and I will process as much as I can.
This was an amazing conversation. Thank you for introducing me to Daniel, I can't wait to hear more.
Just to say, the whole of something is a rare gift, and thank you again, Daniel for reiterating that truth that is felt. 🙏
I came back to watch again and probably again next week. This was very special & deeply thought provoking. ❤ much love to both of you divine masculine ✨
Great interview! This guys intelligence level is off the charts!
Highly concentrated unpasteurized Truth Knowledge and Wisdom .
On the part of how kids are raised, I’ve taught and still teach my two young kids the dangers of conformity and compliance(watch this movie!!!), they now understand the value of critical thinking, importance of reasoning, how to spit biases, trying to understand emotional intelligence and to question everything. For that, the school teacher feels undermined by my 9year old. And she tried to argue the dangers of teaching kids critical thinking. I wasn’t sure if I should cry or laugh at the same time.
Oh wow. Congrats on impending fatherhood! Thank you for this long form conversation and your genuine engagement in it.
I genuinely believe that Daniel is the most intelligent human-being alive. Excited to watch this!
Indeed, his verbal intelligence is phenomenal.
He and John vervaeke, and perhaps Joscha back, in their respective fields.
He is indeed exceptional. And yet also, some people's qualities are more likely to be readily recognized/appreciated for their brilliance than others.
@@polymathpark Indeed. I would also add Karl Friston, Iain McGilchrist, Rupert Sheldrake, and Dennis Hoffman to that roster of enlightening brilliance.
@@MasoudJohnAzizi agreed with all but sheldrake, he still seems to be pushing the metaphysics and mysticism a bit much for me.
This is the most soul-touching interview I have listened in years. It brought tears to my eyes, it is imposible to remain the same after listening to it. Thank you! ❤🙏🏼
Wow! You'd never catch me watching a 3+-hour-long video, but this -- I was riveted!😮Thanks for sharing your wisdom, Daniel Schmachtenberger!😃👍
I've spent the past week slowly but surely watching this wonderful conversation, sometimes re-listening to parts, always deeply appreciating it, hopefully intergrating what I heard. Thank you, Daniel and thank you BSP---good luck on your upcoming, dadhood!
Me too! Taking it in smaller digestible and savoury portions. Revisiting as I need to, to better appreciate each individual message. So much good stuff to take in. I’m old enough to understand some of the context of the negative changes, but young enough to summon the energy to make necessary positive changes. This discussion is pure encouragement for me to change things in a meaningful way. So much gratitude for the opportunity to listen to Daniel, and for AfterSkool. 🙏🏻🕊
👋
This guy is just the best.
One of the smartest thinkers of our time who actually helps see the reality of our metacrisis. We need a global movement led by our smart youth to address the global course leading humanity to its demise. One small addition to Dan's argument regarding world population is that although it may be plateauing, the consuption aspirations and environmental impact of even the poorer population are multiplying. Reminds me of Thomas Friedman's term "americum" and how most Africans, Asians, South Americans, etc would like to become "americums" who consume 10x more than an average citizen from a developing country.
when truth enters the room, all else leaves
brilliant guest and a thoroughly sobering conversation on many important topics, thank you for this, very eloquent
I've listened to Daniel a lot but often have got a bit lost. This conversation was deep but I could follow it and feel like I've finally got what Daniel is saying. I found it very moving. Thank you.
Good example of how doing something a lot (podcast conversations, in this case) gives you opportunities to refine and get really good at it.
I think he's gotten better and better and better over the last 3 years or so. Less jargon. Slower speaking rate. More pauses. Helps the listener (me!) digest.
Gr8 observayshuň!👀
@@hcroneyes, his stuff is a lot more accessible now than, say, 5 years ago. Happy about that, as these ideas need to reach as many people as possible.
I am not the first to say this, but yes, this is truly the most rewarding 3 hrs and 39 min I have ever spent since seeing Gone With the Wind in 1974 when I was 12. Is there an extraneous thought in Daniel's head? He is so amazingly concise and clear. And Mark, not sure if this part has ever been said, but I have never enjoyed just watching someone listen as much as I do you. It never feels that you are in competition, or looking for your next question: you just feel so very HERE. What a perfect combination. At 62, I've been watching this slow train wreck for my entire life, and of late have felt that my usefulness here has completely expired. It's so nice to sit back and watch brilliant minds continue to explore/ponder/question, still knowing it's all so beyond any kind of fix. Thank you both!!!
Daniel is one of my favourite intellectuals, I love listening to this guy, it’s like going down the mental-gym.
I very much hope that people here listen to Daniel’s message and are curious enough to look into his work, and the work of his colleagues. The viewing base of After Skool is the group who needs to learn from philosophers like this the most.
This was great! Daniel, exceptional as usual. Hope you guys have another conversation in the future.
Congratulations for the dad to be! 😀
I'm glad to see Daniel back on some of these channels. Interesting dude for sure
This was a joy to watch. Daniel is saying all the things I've been thinking for decades - but he says it more cogently than I ever could. He also introduced a number of totally new points of view (for me). Thank-you Daniel and @BeforeSkool for doing this.
Thank you Before Skool and Daniel - I relish in your dialogue. The Global Grief Cycle will need grace for the rapid, tangible loss of Life we may soon experience together.
I hope we can come to a collective response that does not alienate and instead cherishes harmony to the ecology, creating a new value system closer to a source that exponentiates the innate curiosities, kindness, and compassion that children often harbor towards all the riches of our empirical Earth.
Perhaps if "won't someone think of the children" was "won't someone listen to the children", we would have a stronger sense of The Other as opposed to our systems that often utilize fear to develop The Self.
If anything, this has helped me understand my depression and slowly step towards a larger acceptance. Time will tell, and I will try my best not to take for granted being truly present - actively listening and taking notice of our wild & creaturely environment as opposed to the aching, obtrusive thoughts of the often false sense of past & future.
Great work, Mark! Your videos and artistic genius are both enlightening and much relevant on a global scale. Bravo!
One of the best podcasts i listened ever. Thank you for being such a human interviewer and let the person express at will and confortable , while not trying to fill up like most do.
Asking Daniel a question about an idea of petersons is the closest we have gotten to a conversation between the two which I'd love. Your questions were good and thought provoking. Thank you!
I've heard probably most of Daniel's content out there. This one I think is the most comprehensive, intelligible and insightful one.
Daniels transformation into a wizard is nearing completion
Edit:
I suspect he's prepping for the summoning of moloch onto our physical plane.
All he needs is a hat at this point
XD
😅
Poiny
😂
3:36:37 Daniel’s authentic heartfelt wonder at the announcement of fatherhood. 🥰♥️
thank you so much for this podcast/lecture: soooo much wisdom and insights; and it fills us with hope. thank you.
It's good to hear from you again, Daniel. The beard is absolutely epic.
So much knowledge to unpack… so blown away!
3 hrs & 39 minutes, yet it felt like 30 minutes. Daniel is only getting smarter & clearier in his delivery! Props & pewer to him who possesses wisdom!
King Daniel reigns… if only we had leaders with this level of wisdom, intelligence and integrity.
Daniel's take on life makes so much sense when you hear him say it. My brain is simply not wired to see these things. Thank you for explaining this.
Truly
Âmen, bruh
This comment section is amazing you all deserve applause as well for the inspiring comments and for caring about this most pressing topic and the leading voice (Daniel) trying to get the word out!
Brilliant. Thank you for this cornucopia of food for thought. 👏
I've watched pretty much all of Daniel's youtube content. All of it is amazing. I love how he keeps explring why things happen and can reference all his own experience and what he has learned from reading and interacting with others. He has allowed me to 'join the dots' in a way no other thinker has. Thanks Before skool for an extremely well structured interview.
This was a fantastic interview! Love listening to Daniel’s thoughts and this one seemed even more expansive than many of his others. Thank you!
A new Schmachtenberger drop!! Yes! Made my weekend! :-) Thank you for this!
I started listening to Daniel years ago and just keeps blowing my effin mind.
I have seen many Schmachtenberger presentations before on alot of these same subjects, but i'm tempted to say here, based on my own 53 years of experience, that almost anything worth saying has been said or alluded to or touched upon in this discussion. They who have ears let them hear!
HELL YEAH!!!! Back with the schmach! This is gonna be great
Thanks for having Daniel on your show. He is a modern day prophet. The only other speaker who ever reached me this way was Maharishi Mahesh Yogi.
Conversations like this raise my baseline
An amazing conversation. The train of thought throughout is so coherent and lucid
Wow just today on the shower I had a huge download about human nature, and it was exactly this, thanks 🙏
Fantastic conversation. Thank you for posting it. Also congrats on your soon to be fatherhood. Such a blessing for your life.
This conversation represents one of the most precise and concise surveys of Daniel Wisdom I've seen in a long time.
Wow…Daniel’s going for the full Socrates! My biggest challenge is figuring out how to share Schmachtenberger’s arguments with others, when this means I’m asking them to listen to a 3+ hour discussion. I could really use a Schmachtenberger “knowledge graph” to quickly navigate his bespoke dialectic web of ideas. As a follower, I am now familiar with the breadth and depth of his contribution, yet, as a mortal, am unable to so effortlessly articulate it all in daily conversation.
I have this problem too. I'd love to spread his ideas, and I have asked friends to watch these 3+ hour-long podcasts, but to reach a wider audience there is unfortunately the need to shorten the length of the content. There's always a tradeoff between the depth of the information and the time taken to communicate it, though. Much love
This video needs so many more views! Millions! ✨🙏✨
Thank you Daniel.
Wow, what a beautiful way to end a conversation like this. Thank you and congratulations!
Simply brilliant!
Profound topics I like how he highlights the mode of attention to everything causes many of the problems. Deep conversion. Well done. Thanks
I find this conversation to be one of the most brilliant, insightful, enlightening and enlivening conversations I have ever witnessed in a 70 year lifetime. Strangely, I am taken back to the science fiction novels of Doris Lessing, the Canopus in Argos series. In these novels, two versions of attention/awareness, coming to Earth from alien planets on different and opposing missions, represented current and countercurrent. One, which Lessing called Shammat, was the Earth and life consuming mindset that is our current global Zeitgeist (that Daniel describes so brilliantly) and the character of Donald Trump, would be a perfect example of a representative from Shammat. The countercurrent came from Canopus which was a culture of highly evolved, enlightened beings that tuned whole planets to be in resonance with all life and connection in the Universe and to amplify, nurture and partake of that current of life, relationship, goodness, beauty, love and energy. With those amazing metaphors, Daniel, in Lessing's novels would be the character Johor, a cosmic traveler through all time and space and tasked with restoring and nurturing the "Garden of Earth"... Is there anyone else out there that can see the resonance with Lessing's metaphors?
Daniel was clearly a very profound thinker from a young age (example aged 9, factory farming). He is a remarkably articulate communicator able to fluently discuss in depth a range of subject matter, such that it is readily understandable. Maybe no-one can save human civilization's downward spiral but he is certainly doing more than most to opening our eyes before we approach the abyss.
I always catch any Daniel talks I can! Thanks for this!
Daniel is basically as wise of a human that exists in the world today. If I was RFK and I somehow pulled off a miracle and won the election, I would get Daniel in my inner circle as soon as possible. He has to be on the dream team of the circle of the wise who are going to get our species into balance as soon as possible. I’d throw some Native American grandmothers in there too.
