The role of the public intellectual
A Santa Cruz lecture series on worldviews, consciousness and political action, including Danny Sheehan’s lecture “UFOs and the Cosmic Perspective.”
Taught outside the university between November 2014 and January 2015, this series lays out the framework Danny calls the worldview system: how a culture’s assumptions about reality shape its politics, and what that means for a society facing climate change and the possibility of contact with non-human intelligence. Several sessions are conversations with Andrew Sivak.
For his current work on UAP, see Danny Sheehan and UAP disclosure.
