How do stories shape reality?
In this episode of The Bardo Podcast, Marc Salmon is joined by Aboriginal scholar and author Tyson Yunkaporta for a conversation about comedy, Aboriginal knowledge, Buddhism, ecology, power and the stories that shape the way we see the world.
Together they explore why humour keeps power in check, right story versus wrong story, high and low context cultures, animism, serpent lore, meme magic, and how stories can become either medicine or curses.
