#421 - Michael Adamson - Niche Dissidence and the Self Reliant Future

Dela

Episode Summary

We discuss the shift from left-right politics toward individualism versus collectivism, the limits of postmodernism, and the idea that modern culture is entering a new "metamodern" or quantum era. The conversation ranges across activism, truth-testing, cognitive systems, Canada's political identity, and Michael's vision for a more sovereign, self-reliant future.
Now based in Toronto, Adamson continues to produce ambitious, materially committed paintings that speak directly to the current cultural hunger for authenticity, optimism, and human presence in a digitally saturated age...
