In this episode of The Wisdom Of... Show, host Simon Bowen speaks with Jim Garrison, founder of Ubiquity University and co-founder of the State of the World Forum alongside Mikhail Gorbachev. Jim shares profound insights on why the next five years represent the most consequential period in human history, how wisdom begins as an act of rebellion, and why humanity must learn to integrate four intelligences simultaneously - human, nature, artificial, and cosmic.
