  • 7.18: Exploring Darkness + Discovery
    Jun 10 2025

    In this rich and thoughtful conversation, Tim and Tuesday delve into the themes of integration, imagination, and the courage it takes to face darkness—both personal and collective—in times of societal upheaval. Drawing inspiration from Ursula K. Le Guin’s radical storytelling to the recent SSIR article on systems collapse, they explore alternatives to traditional heroic narratives and consider other ways to creatively navigate the current polycrisis. The discussion weaves together reflections on war, relationships, and the pursuit of peace, highlighting how deep bonds often form in extreme circumstances. Tim and Tuesday talk about the concept of "islands of sanity"—spaces of refuge and clarity amidst chaos—and the vital role of community in fostering resilience. They also explore the practical side of peace: how daily practices, honest self-reflection, and intentional connection can help build a more compassionate world, even in the face of difficulty. Ultimately, this episode invites listeners to imagine new models of creation, grounded in both hope and reality.
