Everlutionary: Healing and Transforming the World
The Great Forgetting: What We’re Losing in the Age of AI, Technology & Convenience
September 8, 2026
What have we forgotten in our relentless pursuit of progress? And what might we need to remember before it’s lost for good? In this solo episode, Hawah Kasat begins with a story from his own life. In December 2004, he left the southern coast of India just hours before one of the deadliest tsunamis in modern history struck. While hundreds of thousands of people were caught by surprise, the Moken people of the Andaman Sea recognized what was happening. An ancient story passed down for generations had taught them that when the ocean suddenly retreats, you run for higher ground. From there, Hawah explores what he calls “The Great Forgetting,” the slow loss of knowledge, relationships, and human capacities that can happen as technology and convenience increasingly do things for us. Moving from Indigenous knowledge and Aboriginal Australian Songlines to AI, GPS, grocery-store strawberries, and our everyday dependence on technology, this episode asks whether evolution is always about acquiring something new, or whether sometimes the most evolutionary thing we can do is remember something old. This episode invites you to notice what may be disappearing from your own life without you realizing it, and to reclaim some of the attention, knowledge, connection, and relationship that modern life can make easy to lose. You’ll come away with a different way of thinking about progress, and some simple ways to begin remembering what matters.

What We Explore:

Maybe our role today isn’t to choose between the ancient and the modern. Maybe it is to create a conversation between them and to ask what deserves to survive us, and then live in such a way that it does.
