The Emerge Podcast

MAPLE Villager Daniel Ryūshin Thorson hosts Emerge: Making Sense of What’s Next, which he describes as a “podcast-based inquiry into the next phase of the human experiment”.

“We’re living in a moment of culture chaos; celebrities, companies and politicians battle for our attention, societies are fragmenting, long-held political and social norms are upending, and all the while a privileged few reap ungodly benefits. As this battle rages, a new story of what it means to be human is quietly taking shape. How do we survive and thrive? How do we guard ourselves against a life of meaninglessness and quiet desperation? What is your role and responsibility in this turning of the ages? “
