Eps 153: Wildness, Wisdom, Wonder; guest Kevin Michael Johnson

Kevin Michael Johnson is a teacher, writer, contemplative, podcast co-host (Encountering Silence podcast) and a kindred spirit. Today, converse in a very approachable way about the epistemology of silence and the philosophy of mind. Asking, “How can we move outside echo chambers and language zoos that words and ideas trap us in and find ways of knowing where language is truly wild and unfettered by what civilization has forced it and us to be?” Silence, says Johnson, is a foundational / primary way of knowing and until Modern times Silence was part of how we learned to be human and found our way.
