Iain McGilchrist Λ John Vervaeke on God, Meaning, Consciousness, and Being
This should be one of the better dialogos sessions on Curt Jaimungal's TOE (Theories of Everything).
McGilchrist is a psychologist, writer, and philosopher who wrote 'The Master and his Emissary' back in 2012 and more recently wrote a 3000 page volume called 'The Matter With Things'. He tends to focus on social and psychological ills based on the way we've over-focused on left-brain thinking and that a lot of the neuroses and strange political behavior comes from it.
John Vervaeke University of Toronto professor of psychology whose well known for his Youtube series 'Awakening from the Meaning Crisis' and many long-form conversations with many in the Rebel Wisdom, GameB, etc. circles.
They're focusing on their theories and seeing what insights they can share that helps the other with respect to reframing problems and seeing possibilities from different angles.
Very cool stuff as always and very optimistic in terms of the idea that if you push pursuit of truth far enough that there might actually be viable answers still lurking back there somewhere.
