Humans on the Verge with Kelly Carlin-McCall explores how individuals and American culture change, evolve, move from one stage of life, or one state of mind, to another. It is born from Kelly’s curiosity about the strange and miraculous opportunity to be conscious, sentient beings, aka humans, in these interesting times we find ourselves in at the beginning of the 21st century.
Each month two episodes will drop. The first one will be a conversation with someone from the world of psychology, philosophy, politics, spirituality, science, the arts,or entertainment industry to unpack their life experiences and ideas about how culture and humans change. Then in the second episode she’ll build on that conversation by examining the topic through her own life, and those she guides and teaches in her online Humans on the Verge Community, and then offer to the listener a few thoughts for them to ponder on their own.

My guest today, Steve McIntosh, has a way of looking at what looks like the current chaotic mess of American Politics and unpacking it so that you can actually understand what the hell is going on in this country. If you too are confused, frustrated and in disbelief, my and Steve’s hope is that we can give you a very unique, and for me a satisfying big picture perspective.
On my former podcast, Waking from the American Dream, I had Steve and few other folks on whose work is deeply informed by what is called Integral Philosophy. It is something I’ve been studying and practicing myself for about 20 years. I’m excited to bring this way of seeing humanities cultural evolution to you.
Steve McIntosh is a Developmental Philosopher who focuses on the evolution of consciousness and culture. He is founder of the nonprofit organization the Institute for Cultural Evolution and his latest book, published in 2020, is called Developmental Politics: How America Can Grow Into a Better Version of Itself not only thoroughly explains why we are so gridlocked as a nation, but offers a very unique path to help us move above and beyond it. Steve, welcome and I am so excited to have you on today.
Thank you for scrolling down to this part, not everyone gets here. You are clearly a curious human, my favorite kind of human!
