Have you ever wondered how much of what you believe to be true is actually influenced by the quirks of your own mind? In this solo episode of the Liminal Living podcast, we delve into the fascinating realm of cognitive biases and their impact on our perception of reality. We use Brian McLaren’s list of 13 cognitive biases that cloud our judgment, revealing how they shape our understanding of truth and certainty. Through a philosophical lens, we examine the notion of absolute certainty, suggesting that acknowledging the presence of biases allows us to embrace uncertainty with an open hand. The path to truth lies not in clinging to a rigid sense of certainty, but rather in maintaining a humble acknowledgment of our own limitations. Truth can be best grasped in a mindset where being 95% sure of something allows room for the remaining 5% of uncertainty. Embracing this openness enables us to navigate the complexities of truth with greater clarity and humility. Ultimately, we hope this is a compelling invitation for you to examine your own biases and embrace a more nuanced understanding of reality. Because, the journey towards truth begins with an open hand.

it's not an error with the file or a mix—up in the screening. this is the intended result. that's because this film is being billed as a generative documentary, a movie that, with the help of generative software, can rewrite itself before every screening. like, we're so locked into this concept of film and television always has to be the same. it's linear, it's static, it never changes. that's a technical constraint that's from 130 years ago. we don't have those constraints with digital technology anymore, so why are we still sticking with them? when you create something, you're doing this thing that humans are very good at, which is imagining. for the uninitiated, brian eno is a bit of a legend, notjust for the music he's created — he's produced acts like u2 and david bowie — but for his philosophy, his ideas about creativity and how art can be made, particularly with the help of generative technology.
