Brent Cooper

Today's guest is Brent Cooper. Brent is a Canadian metamodern writer and a political thinker. Brent has been a guest on shows such as the Stoa, John Vervaeke, Jim Rhutt, amongst others. I can’t think of a better description of Brent than the one he wrote about himself on his Medium page: "Political sociologist by training, mystic by nature, rebel by choice." While Brent has a reputation of a clasher, I don’t think his fights come from a Trickster spirit. What I appreciate about Brent is his willingness to fight for the cause. It’s a cause that also I identify with so let me point out my bias. Say what you want about the personality of Brent, the work he has produced is very good. He is an excellent writer. He has done the research. He is more informative of what is going on culturally more than any television personality I can think of on any of the major news networks. It’s probably the same reason those networks don’t discuss metamodern or integral because it challenges the foundation of consent.
Have you ever heard you shouldn’t discuss religion or politics at parties? It’s because everyone has a very invested opinion on these two major players in their lives and it triggers fights. It just so happens that these are the two most important issues to discuss. Just look at the current political division happening all over the world. People are losing their minds over politics. Spiritually we lack a common humanity and language that we all can use. There is a sensemaking phenomena going on where many camps are maneuvering to explain and solve the crises in politics and spirituality. I would argue that metamodern and integral have made the most sense of this metacrisis. Metamodern theory is to politics what integral is to spirituality/religion: first-class answers to our predicament.
We need to transcend the sensemaking gold rush and construct a new alliance based on the call to co-create/participate in this metamodern/Integral cosmos/Kosmos. Can we just call it the metamoderntegral (how’s that for a mouthful?) age already? How do we do that? Please tune in to find out how Brent views this turning and what you should be doing about it.
