Introduction: Alex Goodall

[Alex-Goodall]

Hello Life Itself Community

I recently had a chat with Nathan Fitchen (thanks, Nathan), and he invited me join in here. Delighted to be invited.

My core interest at the moment
The Relevant Education Project
"What you need to know to consciously participate in the most consequential 25 years in Humanity’s history"

https://relevant.education/

It has (will have) many strands, including (of course...) a book.

My background
Started with maths and physics, worked in IT, early AI, knowledge management, digital marketing and, currently, private tutoring.

My engagement with meaning
It started pretty early on in life, encompassing Christianity, a couple of Indian Gurus, a touch of sorcery (via Carlos Castaneda and his gang), a period of rational atheism (which took me by complete surprise), re-enchantment via Ken Wilber and Integral Philosophy, and most recently a deep dive into Analytic Idealism – which in my view is the most disruptive and consequential metaphysical theory.

Alongside my deeper meaning path:
There’s been a spiral of opening up that included Metamodernism, GameB and the huge ecosystem of what I call the Humanity’s Transition community which has been flourishing more explicitly since around 2019: typified by this very community and the work of its participants.

How I spend my time
Teaching maths, science and computer science as a private tutor – which I love – and carving out time to spend on my projects related to Humanity’s transition:
The Liminal Learning Portal (http://tllp.org/) (development is on hold)
and, as mentioned above, primarily
Relevant Education
