Welcome to part 2 of my conversation with Sylvia Linsteadt! If you haven’t seen part 1 of our conversation, you can do so HERE.
If you don’t know her work already, Sylvia is an author, a scholar of ancient history and myth, and a certified wildlife tracker. Her work - both fiction & non-fiction is rooted in myth, ecology, feminism, and bioregionalism. I highly recommend exploring her wonderful substack The Pollen Basket.
This week, we continue our discussion of the feminine, diving deeper into the psychological and spiritual implications of things like birth control, egg freezing, and the concept of artificial womb technology. We speak about the wisdom of the female experience as being rooted in the body, and what that means for us as we navigate life in disembodied modernity.

Kyle is a crypto millionaire and a futurist. As a young adult, he was a part of the punk/anarchist scene in New Orleans. He squatted in a communal house, dumpster-dived, and made his best efforts to reject capitalism. After becoming disillusioned with the lifestyle, he left the south and began studying futurism.
Shortly thereafter, he got into the world of NFTs. His most successful project reached a trading value of $1.5 million. More recently, he launched an alt-coin or a “shitcoin” that reached a market cap of $8 million.
On this episode, he shares his perspective on AI, the future, and the human experience post-singularity. He’s a deep thinker has some bold predictions about the next few decades.
Will people treat AI like gods? In a future without jobs, in what new ways will humans create identity? Should we try to “solve” death? Will people en masse implant chips in their brains? How will we create meaning in a post-labor future? All things we dive into in this episode...
