Anthropologist Jeremy Narby observes a fascinating convergence: scientists are adopting shamanic language, and shamans, scientific. He emphasizes the critical role of words, arguing that our language reveals the boundaries of our worldview. This includes Western culture's long-held, but now challenged, belief that intelligence is exclusive to humans.

In this Bioneers episode, Senior Producer J.P. Harpignies discusses these insights with Narby, exploring how our linguistic choices shape and reflect our understanding of the world.

The 19th World Telecommunication/ICT Indicators Symposium (WTIS-24), the premier global forum for telecommunication/ICT statistics, was held in Geneva, Switzerland, from September 23-24, 2024.

Under the theme “Metrics to action: Bridging data gaps for universal and meaningful connectivity,” the 2024 symposium gathered policymakers, business leaders, regulators, statisticians, and researchers. Attendees learned, shared insights, and helped shape the telecommunication/ICT statistics agenda.

Nina Simons, Co-Founder of Bioneers, discusses reclaiming the feminine to realign personal and societal values and practices.
