Send us a text Please see our corresponding Substack "Between, between" ( a Halloween-appropriate song ) 3:32 An introspective pop anthem of changes in our world and our perception at this time of year, vanquished by a cold ocean swim On CBC Early Edition in Vancouver, Stephen Quinn lost his voice this morning… which got me thinking about the origins of Halloween and the exceptions we have of it. Having recently watched “Ingress” by Rachel Noll James I realized How the brain maintains coherence: the present writes the past in real time. Grief resists because it's a memory with high emotional valence; identity evolves by loosening that grip; growth is the art of living with multiple ghost-timelines without letting any one possess you. We are all quiet multiverse travellers, jumping from one edited memory to the next. At Halloween, the traditional change of seasons, the lack of cognitive coherence due to sometimes rapid environmental changes and increased darkness in the northern hemisphere can lead to increased anxiety, hence the boo, and ghosts traditionally associated with Halloween.

Breathe Easy, we go deep and lightly surface the big ideas. Thanks for listening today! Four recurring narratives underlie every episode: boundary dissolution, adaptive complexity, embodied knowledge, and quantum-like uncertainty. These aren’t just philosophical musings but frameworks for understanding our modern world.
