Support the project at patreon.com/voicecraft
Cadell Last is a general thinker interested in questions about human existence and evolution. He is author of Global Brain Singularity, which focuses on the nature of temporality and the future of consciousness; and Sex, Masculinity, God, which focuses on the consequences of libidinal energy, gender identity and theological mysteries for our knowledge constructs. The tension between sex and love, as well as death and immortality, drives much of his current philosophical work, which is deeply informed by dialectics and psychoanalysis.
His next course through Philosophy Portal is on Hegel's Science of Logic and begins January 16 2023 @ https://philosophyportal.online/
Tim is the producer of Voicecraft. He is a philosopher whose work focuses on the relation between participation and transformation, and integrates metaphysical and scientific modes of understanding. The primary medium of this work lives in embodied relationality with friends, family, and peers. He is concerned with the vital connections between psyche, culture, and nature, and is developing networks and communities that support wiser contexts for education, contribution, and belonging.

E65| Elder Circle, w/ Alex Ebert & Voicecraft Network
An experimental session welcoming the musician and philosopher Alex Ebert, known by many as the singer-songwriter for Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeroes, and increasingly among a network of thinkers and philosophers seeking to understand the shifting dynamics and possibilities of the paradigms which underlie our cultural moment.
Held in the Voicecraft Network, the essence of this session sought to co-create a context that draws out the lived and living journey of a particular person, and in so doing, connect with the significance a particular voice is drawn to share with the whole. That is, a collective process whereby the group seeks to welcome the daimōn, the soul or genius of a person, to transmit the gift of their learning, perception, and expression, to a gathered community or network context.

E57| Philosophy of Lack II (Materialism) w/ Cadell Last, Alexander Ebert, O.G. Rose, Tim Adalin
The second of four explorations into the philosophy of lack w/ philosophers Cadell Last, Alex Ebert, O.G. Rose & Tim Adalin. Recorded mid July 2021.
As introduced by Cadell: "We started our first discourse on lack in the context of the origin of philosophy in the Parmenidean presupposition of absolute being banishing the void; and its relationship to the emergence of psychoanalysis as a discipline that operates by necessity in the void of subjectivity. In our second discourse, I propose to shift our context to Democritus, and his atomist ontology, which we may say is the spontaneous unofficial metaphysics of scientific materialism (i.e. the universe at base is divided between indivisible somethings and nothing (“the void”). However, the complimentary opposite of atoms, the void, is often left unthought by scientific materialists, leaving open-ended the philosophical consequences of a presence that depends on absence. For Democritus, a presence that depends on absence signifies…

E55| Philosophy Of Lack w/ Cadell Last, Alex Ebert, O.G. Rose & Tim Adalin
The first of four explorations into the philosophy of lack w/ philosophers Cadell Last, Alex Ebert, O.G. Rose & Tim Adalin.
As introduced by Cadell: "Philosophy is a discipline classically concerned with "Being", or the presence of Something. Why is there Something rather than Nothing? However, after more than a century of psychoanalysis, we may say that the human subject is an entity of Lack, or that Lacks. Thus, the human subject is a Being constituted by a contradictory identity, constantly attempting to fill in the persistent feeling that there is "Something missing". In this conversation series, we seek to enquire deeper about the experience and the philosophy of Lack, and ultimately, what such a philosophy might say about our contemporary culture. Why is there Nothing rather than Something?"

And that have been served by exploitation that was beyond where I could see conveniently. And so I have this idea of essentialness that is connected to brokenness." - Nora Bateson

E36| Tuning Into The Deep Drums, a dialogue with John Vervaeke
A philosophical dialogue with groundbreaking cognitive scientist John Vervaeke, exploring the art of communication, transformation, and how we might realise a more meaningful connection to ourselves, each other, and the world.
Conversation waypoints:
1. The role of dialogue as a response to the meaning crisis
2. Dialogue as a meta-psychotechnology — that which enables the curation and coordination of psychotechnologies (ways that we make sense of the world and cultivate wisdom)
3. Dialectic as the machinery to enter into distributed cognition and collective intelligence
4. "Just like individual intelligence needs to be exapted up into rationality and then that exapted up into wisdom, we need to take collective intelligence and ratchet that up into collective rationality and collective wisdom. [...] That's what I think we need in order to get to the meta-psychotechnology." JV

E35| In The Bubbling Quiet, a dialogue with Nora Bateson & Tim Adalin
Turn down the volume; listen for what's listening; there you'll find your voice. In the bubbling quiet.
Nora Bateson is an award-winning filmmaker, writer and educator, as well as President of the International Bateson Institute, based in Sweden. Her work asks the question, “How we can improve our perception of the complexity we live within, so we may improve our interaction with the world?” An international lecturer, researcher and writer, Nora wrote, directed and produced the award-winning documentary, An Ecology of Mind, a portrait of her father, Gregory Bateson. Her work brings the fields of biology, cognition, art, anthropology, psychology, and information technology together into a study of the patterns in ecology of living systems. Her book, Small Arcs of Larger Circles, is a revolutionary personal approach to the study of systems and complexity.

E34| Disconnection In The Age Of Connection, a Voiceclub sensemaking event with Cameron Duffy
How can we connect to ourselves, each other, and reality?
This Voiceclub dialogue explores the notions of disconnection, connection, human potential, and the mystery of transformation, from a lens of therapeutic growth, human development, and philosophy.
This dialogue was part of a Voiceclub event titled 'Disconnection In The Age Of Connection', held in the basement of the cocktail lounge Caz Reitop's Dirty Secrets in Melbourne, Australia.
Later in the evening, the audience participated in a group sensemaking practice, as part of an ongoing experiment in collective intelligence and community building.

E33 | A Dance Of Lila, with Samuel Austin of Live Learn Evolve
Lila is a Sanskrit word, translated as something like divine play. There's a dance like nature to the flow of meaning in the spiral of dialogue.
Pairings like intellect and intuition, the analytic and the mystical, mind and body, propositional and participatory, serious play; these spark to mind when I reflect on the style of dialogue Sam and I enjoy. This one, recorded in June earlier this year.
Sam is the founder of LiveLearnEvolve.com, a digital portal for wisdom, curiosity, and transformation. He's a designer, yoga teacher, psychonaut, and student of Zen, Alchemy, and Esoteric wisdom.

A dialogue about burning away your bullshit to wake up to your fate. About the necessity and hazards of speaking truthfully... about love, stories, flow, Jungian insight, awe, psychedelics, and death.

Erick Godsey is a human being I'm particularly glad exists. That's just how it is. I feel the intention he has to impact people and the world for the better. And I see a fragment (but a real fragment), of that intention actualise into bonafide artefacts you can interact with right now.
In listening to or reading Erick's thoughts you'll find an evolving selection of psychological insight synthesised into bites that prompt genuine reflection and roadmaps for Self-directed growth. You can access a selection of these on his website: [https://www.erickgodsey.com]
Most importantly, as far as I'm concerned, he endeavours to show up in authenticity and integrity.

E22| Psychedelics And The Future, With Melissa Warner
The psychedelic renaissance is well and truly underway throughout much of the world. It’s headlined by no small number of careful and well-meaning scientists from some of the world's most reputable institutions. But psychedelic use itself, of course, interwoven throughout the development of human culture for thousands of years, never really went away. It simply went underground, out of majority consciousness.
As awareness of the unique properties of psychedelic compounds and the experiences they are famed for continues to grow, it is important that mature discussion take place regarding their nature, utility, and relevance for modern humanity. Such a discussion is one for the world to continue to grapple with over many years. Generally speaking, things left in the shadow too long tend to get restless.

Neville Christie is an entrepreneur, innovator, venture capitalist, gestalt therapist, mentor, and urban shaman. 77 years young, Neville joins Tim for the first Voiceclub Live, held at Shifty’s bar on Brunswick st., Melbourne, Australia.
In a wide ranging and personal conversation about creating purpose, the pair discuss the rock-solid reality that underlies tragedy — ground to stand on — upon which a life of purpose may be built.
Neville outlines 6 central purposes to human life, two he calls givens, and four which are choice.
The givens: a spiritual framework and the biological necessity to procreate. The choices: self-actualisation, loving connection, to create a better world, and the fourth he leaves unknown.
Also discussed is the nature of shamanic experience, Neville’s own inner exploration of the psyche, the requisites of community finding, and much more.

This is a conversation with David Fuller, documentary filmmaker and founder of Rebel Wisdom. Rebel Wisdom is described as ‘the cutting edge of a new counterculture’, and has produced documentaries on Jordan Peterson and interviews with Bret Weinstein, Jamie Wheal, Rupert Sheldrake, Michael Pollan, and others.
I reached out to David in June 2018 and met him at Rebel Wisdom HQ in Hackney, London. This conversation begins by unpacking David’s personal motivation and its relationship to the burgeoning evolution of online sense-making, with notable reference to the Intellectual Dark Web and Jordan Peterson. Beyond, we discuss the psychology of individual change, and the tension accompanying both individual development and the current social zeitgeist in which many now find themselves searching for answers.

E11| The Psychedelic Philosopher, with Peter Sjöstedt-H, pt III
Can mental causation influence evolution? “If you’re an evolutionist, you should believe in mental causation,” Peter tells us. But why?
This is the third and final part to our mini-series with the psychedelic philosopher of mind Peter Sjöstedt-H. The central theme of this episode centres on the relationship between mental causation and evolution. Peter begins by telling us that the philosopher Alfred North Whitehead had a far greater influence on science than people realise, having much to say on what is now the modern enquiry into epigenetics. We also touch on Carl Jung, the relationship between intellect and intuition, and the danger of confusing the atomised and fixed for what is most real.
Much of what we mention here is greatly expanded in the two preceding parts. I thoroughly recommend you check them out.

Get well in to a conversation about psychedelics, the Will, meaning, Nietzsche, Schopenhauer, Bergson, Jung, Peterson, and more.
This is the second and largest part of our mini-series with the psychedelic philosopher, Peter Sjöstedt-H.
This episode stands alone quite well; bear with it at the beginning, it certainly jumps straight in. Do check out our previous episode if you'd like to get more familiar.
Here's a brief intro.
In the first part we covered some core aspects of Peter’s approach to philosophy, and discussed how psychedelic experience might be brought to bear on such an approach. We also discussed Bergson’s notion of duration, one of those less common concepts which I think is centrally important to grapple with.
We now pick up the conversation at the close of a discussion about the relationship between psychedelic experience and death. Loosely, the idea was something like that psychedelics, perhaps, offer an insight into what it is to experience a state in which…

E09| The Psychedelic Philosopher, with Peter Sjöstedt-H, pt I
This episode is the first of 3 parts. The central theme centers on the relationship between psychedelic experience and philosophy. In each part I’m joined by Peter Sjöstedt-H, a panpsychist, process, psychedelic philosopher who takes much influence from Alfred North Whitehead, Schopenhauer, and Nietzsche.
Panpsychism refers roughly to the idea that mind, mentality, or sentience, is in all things. Process philosophy might roughly be stated to mean that fundamental reality consists in processes and not things. Schopenhauer and Nietzsche, of course, favour a sort of monistic metaphysical principle, the will, whether to life, or power, respectively, as the ground of reality.
In this particular episode, though, we speak to a range of points including ego-dissolution, Henri Bergson’s notion of duration, the relation between dreams and psychedelic experience, and the cycle of destruction and creation more broadly. We also touch on Peter’s own philosophical beginnings and his present…
