Brian Thomas Swimme - Life Is Bigger Than Humanity (Worthy Successor, Episode 19)
Episode 19
Friday, 9 January, 2026
This installment of the Worthy Successor series is a conversation with Brian Thomas Swimme, a cosmologist and philosopher of science, and a professor at the California Institute of Integral Studies in San Francisco.Brian’s work begins from a destabilizing claim: that humanity is not the center of value, but an expression of a much larger creative process. Rather than asking how humans can remain permanently relevant, he asks how we might participate wisely in a universe defined by continual becoming.The interview is our nineteenth installment in The Trajectory’s second series, Worthy Successor, where we explore the kinds of posthuman intelligences that deserve to steer the future beyond humanity.This episode referred to the following other essays and resources:-- A Worthy Successor - The Purpose of AGI: https://danfaggella.com/worthy-- The third story of the universe: https://www.organism.earth/library/document/third-story-of-the-universeListen to this episode on The Trajectory Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-trajectory/id1739255954Watch the full episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/b9KHo4wO61wSee the full article from this episode: https://danfaggella.com/swimme1...There are three main questions we cover here on the Trajectory:1.
