An Open-Source Operating System for Transformational Culture
Life is a Festival #104: Jamie Wheal
Listen to the Podcast
“Stay awake, build stuff, and help out.”
Jamie Wheal’s masterful new book Recapture the Rapture is a wokeup call for all of us hedonistic Lizard Brain Fuck Monkeys who need to get our shit together and save the world.
On the show we talk about the Pareto effect for peak experiences; protocols for a global nervous system reboot; the unintentional outcomes of intentional communities; designing vibrant anti-fragile transformative culture; the sexual yoga of becoming homegrown humans; and a DNA Jesus fish. Above all this is a conversation about building an open-source operating system for transformational culture.
Jamie is the best-selling co-author of the 2017 hit Stealing Fire and founder of the Flow Genome Project. He is a dear friend of the show and also taught me how to wakeboard for the first time. His new book Recapture the Rapture: Rethinking God, Sex, and Death in a World That's Lost Its Mind is a must read for anyone who wants to optimize their psychedelic journey or start an intentional community.
