We also discuss the world's deep need for new participatory knowledge systems, a sort of neo-socratic dialogical learning modality.</strong></p> <p><strong><em>Support us by-</em></strong></p> <ul> <li><strong><em>Visiting <a href="http://www.thirdeyedrops.com" rel="noopener">THIRDEYEDROPS.com </a> </em></strong></li> <li><strong><em>Buying the world's best underwear <a href= "https://www.sheathunderwear.com/" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">by Sheath</a> (use coupon code 'thirdeyedrops')</em></strong></li> <li><strong><em><a href="http://www.patreon.com/thirdeyedrops" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Crowd-sponsoring the show</a> and getting more podcast content on Patreon</em></strong></li> <li><strong><em><a href="http://www.thirdeyedrops.com/itunes" rel= "noopener">Leaving us a 5 star review on iTunes!</a></em></strong></li> </ul>
