https://youtu.be/cAr9gf92QRg

John Mack mentioned in his Sep 16 lecture that he was amazed, inspired and travelled in 2016 to Taiwan to see a crowd chasing a Pokémon in a Taipei intersection.  While Pokémon is yesterday’s fad, Mack was most interested in the crowd behavior which he observed also at Michael Jackson concerts and Nazi rallies.

 

And dedication “to hope, to love, to our humanity” the closing lecture of A Species Between Worlds, NYC 2022

As a finale to the month-long Forum of some of the world’s brightest thought-leaders, John Mack wraps up A Species Between Worlds with his own vision on preserving our humanity in the Digital Age. Mack’s lecture, A Walk in the Park: Exploring the Truth of Our Nature, brings this NYC-happening full circle with deep insights into device-dependency, the metaverse, transcendence, and the analogous phenomenon of digital and psychological projection.Q&A to follow.
