Alexander Bard part 2

68 min • 14 november 2024

This is my second conversation with the philosopher Alexander Bard. Yoga and alignment, downwards in the body and upwards in the sociont. Archetypology and rituals. Tantric sex and the sex/religion/spirituality triad. The masculine drive towards the project. Collective purpose and men's work.

Alexander Bard is a philosopher and futurist specializing in the relationship between humanity and technology, with a profound interest in psychoanalysis and anthropology to understand the impact of technological change on interpersonal relationships.


00:00:00 Intro

00:03:19 My Yoga experience and the general notion of alignment. Relation to the sociont and tribology. Relation to couple therapy. The chemistry of a music band.

00:12:31 Archetypology. Psychology, psychoanalysis, sociology, data anthropology. Internal family system. Families, clans, and tribes.

00:25:51 Rituals: Eliade and Van Gennep, idiosyncratic nuclear family. Event/process in wedding/marriage.

00:29:10 Sex. The sexualized process and event. Sexuality and spirituality. Taoist sex. Meditation vs absolute bliss: sexuality and psychedelics.

00:38:09 Tantric/Taoist history and modern teachers.

Mantak Chia, David Deida, John Wineland, Kim Anami. Dualist Islam Sufism and monist Zoroastrian Zufism.

00:42:15 Alexander's six-episode course on Process and Event, relation to Awakening from the Meaning Crisis. But P&E doesn't avoid the bliss like AFTMC. The ego appears in the dialectics of the pure experience (meditation) and bliss (tantric sex).

00:45:20 Purpose. My tribal experience in the Pierre Auger experiment. Monastery = tribe + mission. Project precedes subject and object.

00:54:46 Relevance realization, where the project comes from?

01:01:27 Collective purpose, flow, and men's work.
