Скачать или смотреть Manoj Pavitran: Limitations of cognitive mind, AI crisis, psychological mapping, purpose, education

Manoj and I share a special connection, he is a friend and mentor who significantly influenced my journey.

Manoj is one of those people who don’t fit the box, he joined Auroville ~30 years ago to pursue his calling to explore Sri Aurobindo’s integral yoga. Over the years, Manoj has worn several hats inside and outside the community of Auroville including that of a filmmaker, designer, architect, technologist, coach, educator & institution builder. His knowledge of human psychology, transformative practices, and a subjective view of the evolutionary journey of mankind is deep and fascinating.

In our conversation, we explore human psychological mapping, existential AI questions, limitations of the cognitive mind, purpose, transformation, perspectives on education, data-driven governance, and more.
