Watch philosophers (and best friends) Bayo Akomolafe and Charles Eisenstein tell the story of how our world cracked open—and elaborate on what we can do about it.

Lecturer, professor, public intellectual, author, and facilitator, Bayo Akomolafe is globally recognized for his poetic, unconventional, and counterintuitive take on civic action and social change.

Charles Eisenstein is a writer and teacher on the themes of civilization, consciousness, money, and the cultural evolution of humans. He has long been consumed by his ultimate dilemma, “What is the origin of the wrongness in the world?,” which led him on a four-year journey chronicling the evolution of crises toward tidal change in his first book, The Ascent of Humanity. He is also the author of Sacred Economics, The More Beautiful World Our Hearts Know is Possible, and Climate—A New Story.
