In this talk, Carter shows how history advances through “seed cultures”—compact, cross-pollinating circles of innovators whose ideas ignite wider change. He tracks how a mid-20th-century truce between traditionalism and modernism birthed progressive post-modernism, and how today’s culture war has stalled us on a developmental plateau. The task now, he says, is to nurture healthy versions of every major worldview so a new synthesis of modern and post-modern values can arise. In short: cultivate the seeds, honor the plateau, and evolution will surprise.
Carter Phipps is the Co-founder of the Institute for Cultural Evolution, the author of Evolutionaries, and the Co-author of Conscious Leadership. He produces the podcast Thinking Ahead and was the former executive editor of What is Enlightenment Magazine.
