Critical Sustainability
Course Syllabus
In this opening Exploration, letโs deep dive into philosophy, science, and education to design an alternative educational system to modern living.
Education is a process of Self-discovery which enables our ability to recognize truth, consciousness, and bliss from within. Critical Sustainability is a meta-philosophy incorporating domains of Sustainability; Politics, Economics, Culture, and Ecology overlapping with investigations into Metaphysics, Neuroscience, Computer Science, and more. This designed worldview establishes an analytical framework to re-represent reality through the latest scientific knowledge and ancient spiritual teachings to help us navigate through life, community, and the ongoing challenges faced in the world.

Consider this an invitation to the Pluriverse, where our collective knowledge will guide us towards a better future.
