057: Jena Axelrod - "Absurdity of Certainty"

Published: Jan. 9, 2018, 11 a.m.

Jena Axelrod has been Thriving since she left the womb.\xa0 She's been a stand-up comic, top-performing sales performer, amazing sales coach, and now an independent film that is turning heads.

Her surreal independent documentary,\xa0Absurdity of Certainty\xa0pokes fun of how we see the world.\xa0With theoretical quantum physicist Dr. F. David Peat we explore what it means that innovations like maps, clocks, Newton's Laws contributed to a Rise of Certainty in our thinking, and how innovations like Quantum Uncertainty and Chaos Theory lead to a Rise of Uncertainty. As\xa0The Observer and The Observed\xa0cannot be separated in quantum theory, so Director Jena Axelrod and the film crew join David's family and Pari's townspeople for discussions over shared Tuscan dinners, meals which embody the holism for which the film advocates.

Jena catches up with Lou on this fun, insightful and entertaining episode of Thrive LOUD.
