Patterns of Creation with Dr. Tyson Yunkaporta | Talk of Today Podcast

Dr. Tyson Yunkaporta is an Indigenous Australian academic and author of the book 'Sand Talk', which explores our global systems from an Aboriginal perspective and how this viewpoint could help us resolve some of the complex sustainability issues facing our world.

In our conversation we cover:

• The indigenous notion of story and the problem with the narrative at the heart of Western civilisation
• The value in true diversity, identity, and place
• Violence and the need for its integration in society
• Why instead of pursuing growth we should seek 'increase', which I take to be the expansion of the connectedness of things in our world, living and otherwise.
• The need for humanity to retake our place as custodians of the land we're connected to.
