What is Post-Humanism? Deconstructing Western Paradigms with Bayo Akomolafe

Posthumanism invites us to think beyond human-centric thinking and embrace a more inclusive, interconnected worldview. By confronting cultural challenges and seizing opportunities in life's unexpected disruptions, we can transform our understanding of the world and our role within it. Dr. Bayo Akomolafe is a philosopher, psychologist, and professor from Nigeria. He is the Chief Curator of The Emergence Network and host of the online course, 'We Will Dance with Mountains'. Dr. Akomolafe's work explores themes of post-humanism, decolonization, and the deconstruction of conventional Western paradigms. He seeks to challenge and reframe dominant narratives around human supremacy, individualism, and progress. 00:00 - Intro 06:00 - Stewardship and the global South 11:50 - Being in service to the world 13:32 - The limitations of Western knowledge 16:11 - Bayo's concept of "cracks" as sites of possibilities for transformation 23:58 - AI and what it means to be human 29:09 - The nature of consciousness 31:44 - Transhumanism and post-humanism 39:27 - The next generation will transform the planet 41:05 - End
