In this episode, Alex Morris introduces his guest, Jim Marshall, as a brilliant mind who has delved into the depths of human psychology and developed a groundbreaking philosophical science known as Septemics. This episode offers a glimpse into Jim's journey from childhood curiosity to becoming a polymath with expertise spanning various fields, including psychology, engineering, music, and more.
Jim introduces Septemics, a system he discovered through years of working with clients and observing patterns in human behavior. Septemics is based on the idea that human phenomena occur in seven-level sequences. Jim shares his realization that these phenomena held mathematical implications, transforming his observations into a new realm of understanding.
Jim reflects on the process of shaping Septemics into a coherent philosophic system that can be understood by the average reader. He emphasizes that his focus as an engineer is on results and facts rather than opinions, leading him to create a resource that brings real-world improvements to people's lives.
Towards the end of the interview, Jim reveals the 35 scales of Septemics, which cover a wide range of subjects and aspects of human experience. These scales provide a comprehensive framework for analyzing and understanding various aspects of life, ultimately helping individuals navigate challenges and achieve personal growth.
The conversation wraps up with a sense of excitement about the impact Septemics can have on improving human understanding and interactions, leaving listeners intrigued and eager to explore this novel philosophical science.
