The Global Existential Summit

Sorry my message went through when I logged in without being fully composed. I was wondering if for the next summit, if you could adjust your microphone settings a bit Natalie because your voice is consistently louder than that of the guests. As someone with SPD it is very jarring when you speak as a result, and I have to make constant adjustments to the volume. I would recommend adding a compressor, equalizer and perhaps turning down the gain a bit, and adjusting audio volume in post processing instead. I love these summits so much, thank you for putting them together.

Really enjoyed Dr Kalem’s insights about the history of Existentialism. It was great hearing about his growth as a practitioner. Much thanks Natalie for all the work you have done curating a varied collection of speakers.

Thank you for an inspiring interview! Bollas by the way is a fascinating psychoanalyst. Talking about liquid identities I think of Zygmunt Bauman and his Liquid Modernity.
