Reading for tomorrow's @interintellect_ salon on King Arthur. Our goal is to read Books One, Two, and Three of this lightly modernized version of Sir Thomas Malory. We'll probably spend the bulk of our time on Book One (the sword in the stone). drive.google.com/file/d/19p1…

Last week we had the pleasure of sitting down with @turi and host @TKPullinger for a fantastic SuperSalon: On the Origin of Opinions -- Why We Think What We Think. Turi unpacked why our worldviews go far beyond a simple binary of reason versus environment, highlighting our profound human capacity to critically reason and change our minds.

So interesting that, days after posting this I had tremendous conversation with @interintellect_’s hosts about meaning in the modern age. Releasing later this weekend at the Hostcast Spotify page.
Replying to @joaolmateus
If boredom leads people in a quest for meaning, as an educator, by making sure your material is meaningful for your students, you're already decreasing the chances of them feeling bored!

We often focus on the "what" of big ideas, but the "why" is usually found in the people hosting the conversation. Our hosts aren't just experts; they are the architects of the spaces where we figure out what we actually believe. Learn more about hosting: interintellect.com/hosting

Data tells, but stories build the future. 🌍 In this clip from our SuperSalon, "The Art & Business of Storytelling: Crafting Narratives For a Flourishing World," host Ashley Zhang is joined by Gavin McMahon—author of Story Business and co-founder & CEO of fassforward—to unpack why narratives are a critical, yet often undervalued, tool in business and tech. Steve Jobs once said the storyteller sets the vision, values, and agenda for an entire generation. How can organizations use stories to make sense of ambiguity, build conviction, and shape culture?

The Holy Grail is the ultimate literary obsession—but the story wasn't originally Christian. Where did the myth actually come from, and how did it end up tangled up with King Arthur? 🧵👇

By the time we get to Malory's Le Morte d'Arthur, the quest is all about testing the Round Table's chivalry. Lancelot fails because of his worldly sins, while pure, tragic Galahad gets the vision of the Grail and basically dies of holy perfection.
