In this week’s Dissidents Podcast, Jennifer Richmond and Winkfield Twyman, Jr. talk about the meaning of life through the eyes of black sheep and non-conformists. Like Martin Buber in I and Thou, we find meaning in relationships. When we can see each other as they are, and make room for that, we end up expanding ourselves. Unlike social media that constrains us to a narrow lens that boxes us into collectivist and cynical ideologies, we find hope in the more expansive idea that “we are all just here to walk each other home”. We move beyond the shallowness of the many ways we, as a society, interact, honing an internal locus of control and seeking for depth in a search for “something more”.
