Matt Searles Podcast Episode 8: Apollonian Regrets
In his episode I talk about what we sacrifice in order to be a part of civilization, in particular parts of our potential as human beings. This takes us through Nietzsche, Freud, Jung, and Joseph Campbell… I talk about the relationship between human potential and morality / human values.. and existential modes of being.
This is the subject of a track from Indra’s Net, a CDs worth of music that I’m giving away for free. You can find and download Indra’s Net at virb.com/mattsearles/music/albums/19812.
It’s perhaps worth saying something about Indra’s Net: Indra’s Net is, in a sense, about Hindu metaphysics… Hindu metaphysics, and arguably, social media. I say arguably because it’s my contention that to approach social media from the standpoint of Hindu metaphysics gives us a more sophisticated conceptual model for thinking about social media the social media’s current view of its self… Musical composition is about organizing sounds and the organizational principles of this music is deeply routed in eastern philosophy… All be it eastern philosophy reinterpreted.. or dare we say modernized.
