Women Meta-Theorists, Philosophers, Thinkers and Scientists

A Limicon Zoom session open to everyone

The topic of this session is: Women, Thinking, and the Broken Mirror (all welcome!)

In preparation for the session I asked ChatGPT to name some meta-theorists. The list? Almost entirely men—Ken Wilber, Jean Gebser, Thomas Kuhn, Gregory Bateson, Don Beck (for a moment, I thought Clare Graves was a woman, but….no), Jürgen Habermas, Edgar Morin.

I then asked about physicists, philosophers, scientists,… same pattern. If it wasn’t 100% men, it was very close to that.

Here is C-Lab (and specially in my book) I talk about the "broken mirror effect"—what happens when we mistake a partial perspective for the whole.

When we don’t see ourselves reflected in the world of thought and theory, it can feel like we either have to fight to be heard or wonder if we have anything to offer at all.

But we do. And now, more than ever, the world needs it.

We’re in a moment of profound transition—where hyper-individualism and exponential tech are pushing up against the values that are woven into the fabric of being a woman.

She nurtures, she cares, she creates, and she does deep philosophy, physics, science, meta-theory and more. But what happens when her way of thinking doesn’t fit the existing models? What if her genius never fully emerges because the world hasn’t yet learned how to see it?

This session is about making those ways visible.

Join Danielle Johnson (Limicon’s mother and meta-theorist, amongst other things), Bri High ( philosopher working on her PhD in Physics/Science and more) and Adriana Forte (founder of C-Lab, mum, partner, writer and new-found philosopher, amongst other things) for a 90-minute conversation where they’ll share their journeys (45 min) and then invite you into the discussion (45 min).

Let’s explore together how bias and expectation shape what we see, what we value, and how we show up.

We’d love to have you there.

The session will be at 8:00 am AEDT on the 28th of March, 6:00 pm ET on the 27th of March. Confusing!!
