Professor Ulrike Guérot on the AfD and Meta-crisis & Max Borders on the Grey Robes and his upcoming course.
Professor Ulrike Guérot über die AfD, Medien und Meta-Krise
Sind die Proteste gegen die AfD zu exzessiv, um wirklich glaubhaft zu sein - oder liegt in diesem performativen Widerstand genau das Zeichen einer erfolgreichen Abgrenzung und Lehre aus der Vergangenheit?
Interview with Max Borders - The Grey Robes
Max Boders and Andrew Sweeny discuss Max's ambitious upcoming course and initiation into Mystery, Mission, Morality, Means and Meaning for those Heterodox thinkers wanting to go beyond red and blue, black and white.
Course: Unified Theory of Knowledge - An Introduction to UTOK (with Gregg Henriques & Marcia Gralha)
A course on Unifying Theory of Knowledge (UTOK) starts March 10th
Learn How to Speak UTOK and See Yourself and the World in a New Way
What is your worldview? What is your understanding of human consciousness? What leads to neurotic suffering and how can we reliably be wiser and more adaptive in our everyday living?
UTOK, the Unified Theory of Knowledge, is a new system for understanding our selves and the world around us. Participants in this new course from Parallax Academy will learn UTOK’s most central insights and how to apply them to their lives. This course will allow you to zoom out and see the cosmos as a whole, and then zoom back into the world of everyday relational exchanges and human folly that drives unnecessary suffering, and learn how such patterns can be systematically be transformed into wiser ways of being.

A new course with Max Borders:
Do you have the sense that something is wrong with the world? That authorities are too powerful? Are you keen to unravel mysteries, serve a mission, and make meaning with others who feel the same?
We know that techno-wizardry and digital nomadism are not enough. We need more: a beating heart, a belief system, and a set of active practices.
Experience a powerful initiation into the Grey Robes, an order where philosophy meets innovation, and counterculture meets wisdom.
Max Borders, the author of The Social Singularity (2018), The Decentralist (2021), and Underthrow (2023) has a provocative vision. In this Parallax course, he proposes to initiate us into:
MYSTERY: From fundamental questions to wide-eyed wonder
MISSION: From hierarchical authority to liberated networks
MORALITY: From vicious nihilism to the active practice of virtue
MEANS: From spiritual stasis to personal development
MEANING: From isolation and anxiety to community and self-sovereignty
A 5-week Zoom adventure beginning Sunday, March 10th:
