Dialectic with Jackson Dahl

I interviewed Tom Morgan about why your curiosity is smarter than you.

Tom is a writer, community builder, explorer, and former Wall Street mind who surfaces modern and historical ideas about consciousness, emergence, and intelligence greater than ourselves.

This conversation straddles practical frameworks for living authentically and ideas that lean more “woo”—like the notion of a force that counters entropy, pushing the universe toward complexity.

Highlights:

- Why the world is wildly over rotated toward left brain precision and abstraction, rather than right brain intuition and connectedness

- what following your energy actually means

- how to think about life pivots when you have a mortgage

- why openness correlates so highly with wisdom

- Joseph Campbell's "follow your bliss" and why stories point at truth

- "minimum viable woo" and Tom's rational, but humble approach to crazy ideas

Skeptical yet? I hope so—and I hope this convo makes you more curious.
