Episode Ben Hunt: Surviving the Widening Gyre Through Hope and Community
Today, Chuck is joined by Ben Hunt, the creator of Epsilon Theory. Their conversation revolves around the concept of the Widening Gyre, a “profound social equilibrium where bad people and bad ideas drive out good people and good ideas.” They discuss this concept from a few different angles:
•
How it relates to top-down systems like America’s political systems and corporations.
•
How it has led to the loss of a national narrative and increased division and conflict.
•
How a community-based approach that focuses on doing the right thing today is the best way out.
