The Liminal Café is where the locals of the liminal web gather for coffee and conversation. In this new series, Layman chats with the people and patrons who, for some curious reason, find themselves drawn to this sketchy corner of the internet...

21st CENTURY HUNTER GATHERERS

For episode 7, Layman sits down in the Mumbai branch of the Liminal Café with author and podcaster, Hemant Gupta, to talk about his life and work - in particular, his writings and reflections on the new 'hunter gatherer' roles many of us find ourselves in, in an information ecology which is still in its wilderness stages; and a distinctive, quadratic heuristic he uses to nuance and think through complexity. Together they discuss what good next steps might be to bring a more globally expansive liminal community into being.

Hemant Gupta is an author, illustrator, and podcaster residing in Mumbai, India.

$The Future Faces of Spirit (Ep. 40: Wai H. Tsang) What paths lie ahead for religion and spirituality in the 21st Century? How might the insights of modernity and post-modernity impact and inform humanitys ancient wisdom traditions? How are we to enact, together, new spiritual visions – independently, or within our respective traditions – that can respond adequately to the challenges of our times? ESOTERIC WISDOM AND THE EDGES OF SCIENCE For episode 40, Layman talks with Wai H Tsang, a public speaker, writer, and computer programmer, about the convergence of esoteric wisdom, from East and West, and the bleeding edge of contemporary science. They discuss Wais entrance onto the path of esoteric studies through a number of psychedelic experiences; his work over many years to identify core principles from multiple esoteric lineages, and to integrate them with emerging neuroscientific knowledge, fractal mathematics, etc; his thoughts on consciousness, wisdom, and the future of AI; using these insights to navigate the meta-crisis and work for social reform; and much more. Wais adult life has mainly been characterized by an obsession with working out how the brain works and understanding the nature of the human mind. He is currently working on developing a unifying, fully symmetrical, recursive and self similar, Fractal Theory of Brain and Mind, and then exploring how the theory can be used in the development of A.I. He writes and gives frequent public talks on the mind, the brain, fractal theory, religion, and politics.
