In this latest podcast, Maree Conway and Peter Hayward return for a conversation. Five more questions were asked from our FuturePod audience.

Richard is a pattern finder who is passionate about our relationship to technology. He believes our times are calling for a new mythology in our relationship with technology.

Ruben thinks we are between dreams and that we need to escape modernity which has delivered much but now imprisons us by de-emphasising our interdependence with the natural world and each other.

Dada takes you through his distinctive journey from business and economics, to becoming a yogic monk. He discusses the yoga of restraint and how we need to minimise the disparities in life but simultaneously maximise the diversity too.

Jerome discusses where the Delphi came from and why is so useful, the invention of the Real-Time Delphi and the self-actualization economy and how it could operate.
