Labor - Motivating Our Workforce Artwork

The (all) Unknowing

What if the maps we've been given are wrong? What if the systems we trust are hollow? "The (all) Unknowing" is a journey into the mirrors of the mind, a podcast that deconstructs the illusions of our age to make way for a new, more sovereign way of being.

Through a deep exploration of parables, dreams, and philosophy, host Daniel Curtis diagnoses the two great spiritual wounds of our time: the hollowness of performative authority that rules through fear, and the pervasive sickness of disconnection that severs us from ourselves, each other, and the soul of the world.

This is not a search for easy answers. It is an invitation to walk the path of unknowing, to find the true ruler in the mirror, and to begin the Great Work of building a world that needs no ruler.

In this episode, Daniel Curtis and Peter explore the heavy history of slavery in America and how it relates to issues in the labor market today. New technology, automation, and industrialization helped end slavery, and those very same reasons are significant contributors to why we have an alarming amount of unskilled and unemployed citizens. Robots and computers are slowly replacing low-skilled workers. In order to succeed, we must be adaptable and willing to learn valuable and specialized skills. How can we motivate people to succeed in our current society?
