Jes, Andrea, this was a wonderful conversation. I felt the love that helped bind you together in this integrous and very human process of inquiry.
There are so many specific threads I'd love to pull. But perhaps a few brief notes I'd like to express appreciation for:
- The return to philosophy as a way of being, doing and becoming (a loving relation to the life long process of wisdom seeking), is something Jes and I have talked about a lot. This came through clearly in the dialogue.
- What is love? This is one of the great questions we can live. The distinction that love is not an emotion per se (perhaps something more like an existential stance) both complexifies and clarifies.
- Everything matters, nothing matters. I've discussed this a lot in relation to practically living a cosmological circumference of care, in ways that empower, rather than overwhelm the one living said circumference of care.
- The myriad examples of you both living this process, recognising multiplicity, plurality, paradox etc. is really beautiful.
Hey Nate, just coming back to this now. Have you and Jes talked about this publicly? If so, do share the link here. I'm also interested in this circumference of care idea. Boundaries of care is an interesting and challenging idea. Do share also if you have some specific writing or work related to this idea, or if there is work from someone else you are thinking of here. Thanks so much for sharing! And for listening.

Andrea, I don't think Jes and I have explicitly gone into this one yet. But I reckon we might! This was a musing of mine from a while back on the topic itself: https://trustworthy.substack.com/p/to-care-for-all-or-to-not-care-at
Thank you Nate! I’m about to be off the grid a few days but will considering this and coming back to it at some point. Really appreciated
My pleasure. Hope you enjoy the time off :)
