In this episode Colten and I propose a thesis that the imagination serves as our interface with reality. 
We discuss the dynamics of this relationship and it's implications for thought as an art form — which we coin as "Conductive Reasoning", an honest approach to "objectivity".
Conductive reasoning can best be understood as a designing philosophy — engaging our reality through design, and as we design the world around us, so we design ourselves.
We draw a distinction between the kind of reasoning or way of thinking that aspires to a scholarly (“scientific”) detachment that mutes personal affect with the aim of reflecting external affairs as they exist independently of human ideation, and a form of reasoning that characterizes those who personally engage reality, transforming themselves and reality together into a coherent and harmonious whole.
The two modes of knowing, one as moving around an object, and one as entering into it — please note, we believe the highest art is to wield both.
Hope you enjoy, and please let us know what you think.
