070: Bayo Akomolafe | Rituals of Incompleteness in the Age of AI

On this episode of the Planetary Regeneration Podcast, host Gregory Landua sits down with philosopher and poet Bayo Akomolafe during a Regen Network retreat at Race Brook Lodge. Together they explore AI as trickster, the sacredness of incompleteness, and what it means to build tools for ecological governance in a world unraveling. From Yoruba cosmology to Karen Barad’s agential realism, this conversation weaves themes of decoloniality, relationality, and the possibility of new rituals in the cracks of modernity. Bayo Akomolafe (PhD) is an author, speaker, and founder of the Emergence Network. Trained as a clinical psychologist and rooted in Yoruba tradition, his work invites us to meet the world differently.
