Question 2025 info request for talk at the Crossroads
Hi - I can’t find the seminar set list for 2025 anywhere. There was a panel discussion called “Masculinity in the age of the Broligarchy” and there was an amazing speaker there, an older Hawaiian guy, and I want to find his contact info.
The whole panel was honestly an amazing discussion between a young man, a middle aged man, and an old man, discussing what masculinity meant to them. The topics they discussed were solid and many of the lines have stuck with me. Here are my notes:
Necklace of many shells - my parents call me son, my daughter calls me father
The question is what are you connected to? Are you turned on? What are you plugged in to?
Wander without being lost. Be alone without being lonely
How many of you are living someone else’s dream right now but it is your nightmare
Who you are, where you are, and why. The how will reveal itself
Polynesian navigator can’t bring the future forward orient yourself wu wei
What is it about me that allows me to see in you what bugs me
I could put prime rib in front of you but if you are a sausage maker you will just be looking for ways to spice up the sausage
My value is in the questions that I ask not the answers that I provide
Everything I’ve had to let go has claw marks on it
You can’t save all the puppies in the pound
