Mythology resonates resoundingly in the Ancestral Fitness Epistemocracy (AFE).
SyncModern Americans love to sync things.
However, our mythologies are terribly out-of-sync.
We have chosen to leap forward with our biological (nutrition/fitness) mythology, opting for a narrative promoting genetically altered, fake foods made possible by our impressively evolved intelligence, thus leaving behind our ancestral roots that are still sewn deeply into pre-industrial, hunter-gatherer soil.
On the contrary, we have chosen to remain content with our religious (spiritual, mystical) mythology, opting for a narrative composed and created for a group of well-intentioned beings who lived nearly 2000 years ago, thus denying our impressively evolved intelligence which is capable of creating new, more relevant mythic structures.
A return to previous mythologies must be made with regard to our biology.
A new religious mythology must be adapted in order to create a structure of symbols and stories that bind human beings tightly to their local, and universal existences.
You can clap now (all in sync, of course). Cheers to BG!
Collaboratively, over the last few years, through many hours of creative teamwork, Brian and I co-founded Academic Impact (Ai) and then co-launched and completed our first rendition of Game Plan Academy (GPA) this past Spring successfully (GPA was our first large-scale non-profit GoDoGood project). These social entrepreneurial tinkering efforts in the youth services space represent our best, humble efforts to start conceptualizing, materializing, and operationalizing a novel human development 'school' (*definition of 'school' TBA from the envelope of serendipity), which we like to call one word: Ancestry.
Fostering well-rounded human development is the ultimate goal of education, or at least it should be, and interdisciplinary education should develop people to lead lives, not careers. Brian and I spend our days and nights tutoring, coaching, and mentoring youth in hopes of providing each student with positive support that aids maturation, as well as wholistic personal and interpersonal development (all while improving academic performance, of course).
It's a rewarding, challenging, and valuable process to be involved in; each day brings a new, unexpected lesson in 'grace'.
To good health,
Brent
