Our guest today is John Vervaeke - a cognitive scientist and Assistant Professor at the University of Toronto. James and I were both so excited to speak to him as he has undertaken an amazing examination and integration of modern cognitive science, ancient wisdom practices, philosophy, and history in his incredible YouTube series ‘Awakening From The Meaning Crisis’.
John’s theory is this: our culture today is beset by multiple overlapping crises which make our lives difficult: financial, ecological, political - tons of crises.
But underlying and connecting these is a crisis of meaning: the sense that we have lost a narrative which situates us in the world and helps us make sense of it all.
