The chaos revolution, chaotic attractors and indeterminism in nature. The emergence of form from the field of chaos. The formative process in cooling. Is the mathematical realm of the world soul in co-evolution with ordinary reality? The potential of mathematics to aid us in our own evolution by extending our language for dealing with complex systems. Visual intuitions and the Butterfly Effect.

The idea of an attractor for the entire cosmic evolutionary process. The role of the attractor in chaos dynamics. Motivation and attraction. The value of spoken language. Mathematical modelling. The relationship between mathematical models with chaotic behaviour and the chaos in life. Idolatry and models becoming reality. The feminine aspect of creativity.

  • "We can transform ourselves no more quickly than we transform our language."
  • This is legendary getting these 3 bahemoths together talking like this, everybody just chillin. McKenna is a cut above man, you can see how the other 2 get really inspired by him. His thinking and oratory skills are brilliant, what a blessing
  • I once had a dream and right before it ended I heard a male voice calmly say the following “ The singularity flows into the plurality and the plurality flows into the singularity”.

    "Give us one free miracle and we'll explain the rest" - Terrence McKenna. He nailed all those confident scientists in one sentence. What a treasure he was.

    Free thought, openness and creativity. So beautiful
  • Love the way RS is able to connect and explain complex/abstract ideas in simple terms.

    These trialogues are incredible. I've been through most of the recordings you gentlemen have on youtube and appreciate these tremendously. Your combined contributions are such a gift. Peace

    Multifaceted depth and exhilarating meaning making. How splendid it is! Where it is nowadays? Why nowadays it’s so extremely rare?

    great talk! love the set up, the interspersed clips and the music. and love how you can see the crowd in the mirror, sitting back and drinking it in
  • @RobinDivine777
    Fantastic insights especially when he speaks about epigenetics in 1995 which has only in the last 5 years become more acceptable and less taboo in the science community.
  • @gozinta82
    What a great trio! To have such perspective is a real treasure! Thank you for sharing this :)
  • Just what it needed, some music playing in the background, thank you so much.
