Avi Gordon and Richard Sclove recently discussed some thought-provoking themes from Richard's latest book, "Escaping Maya's Palace: Decoding an Ancient Myth to Heal the Hidden Madness of Modern Civilization". The conversation touched on topics such as the impact of capitalism on psychological-spiritual development, addiction, and the spiritual growth path described in the ancient Mahabharata.
Richard brings a wealth of experience to the discussion, having been a long-time meditator and senior staff member at the Mind and Life Institute, cofounded by the Dalai Lama. He holds a PhD in political theory from MIT and has also held a postdoctoral fellowship in economics at the University of California-Berkeley. Richard founded The Loka Institute, which has worked internationally to prioritize science and technology based on democratic decisions. His book, Democracy and Technology, received recognition from the American Political Science Association as the best in its field. Additionally, he is a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.
