In this challenging episode (challenging in a good way), I sit down with Steven Young, author of ‘A Fool’s Wisdom’.
Steven’s path is remarkable. From a PhD in nuclear physics, to having all his assumptions about reality turned upside, it’s been emotional. Atomic theory, accepted cosmology, and the theory of gravity - he now questions it all.
Steven takes his place amongst a growing cadre of intellectuals rejecting Modernity’s scientific orthodoxies.
But this isn’t just about poking a stick at accepted dogmas. Steven is now embracing a notion of science that integrates a broader understanding of consciousness. A return to the powerful, intuitive alchemical principles on which early science was founded. One that can inspire and empower creatives and leaders alike.
We discuss:
- How a nuclear physicist starts questioning the globe theory
- Letting go of the atomic theory
- Finding alchemy
- An alchemical approach to product development
- Towards an artistic and societal renaissance
