Bayo Akomolafe explores profound ideas on the fluidity of reality, questioning fixed definitions and embracing the concept of "becoming" instead of "being." He critiques modern clarity and urges for deeper awareness, suggesting that rigidity in identity or truth stifles true transformation. Drawing from Yoruba cosmology, quantum physics, and posthumanism, he presents a world always in flux, where boundaries are constantly negotiated.

Akomolafe delves into the problematic nature of hope, challenging its role in perpetuating despair. He also contrasts transhumanism's quest for mastery over nature with posthumanism's emphasis on interconnectedness. Through stories and metaphors, including the Ship of Theseus, he dismantles conventional notions of self and existence, inviting listeners to consider more holistic approaches to ethics, morality, and the human condition.
