Adam Widawski (LinkedIn) is an educator and philosopher. Currently working for the think-tank Mindshield. We speak of the immense potential of our times. Why learning is an orientation to life that's served us well. We speak of technology and it's incredible pull as well as the importance of getting inspired by perspectives from the margins. We speak of the silent violence, the obfuscation and fragmentation as well as the possibility our connectivity holds. How do we deal with the demonic pull of technology? How can we combine passionate rebellion with a capacity for finding center and an ableness to direct our attention and retain some agency?
