How are people seeing the world today?

If the premise of this series is true—that to see the world is to shape it—then it’s far from clear what worldviews are actually shaping tomorrow.

Even those usually “in the know” don’t seem to know.

Is it because a technological singularity looms, making it impossible to know what lies beyond? Perhaps a deep metaphysical transformation is underway, turning yesterday’s “woo” into today’s normal? Maybe it’s something else entirely, not a “great reset” or a “great awakening,” but something stranger still.

Vibe shifts have come and gone. The culture wars are spent. And yet one thing seems certain: the future is open.

How are we seeing the world today?

Worldview Studies is a four-part program of presentations and an “inverse course” that aims to draw on participants’ collective wisdom to identify the worldviews shaping our world.

Join Peter Limberger for four sessions with guests Gary Sheng, Simon Pearce, and Rina Nicolae. Each session is live on Fridays at 12:00 p.m. ET via Zoom and runs two hours: the first hour is a presentation and Q&A; the second is a collective inquiry into emerging worldviews.
