Summary
<p>Ahead of the forthcoming sense-making full course decoding of Jordan Hall, Daniel Schmactenberger, and Jamie Wheal (see here!), we offer a bite-sized morsel of sense-making to whet your episode. </p><p>Here Matt and Chris engage in a 'short' session of gurunalysis, or guruology (if you prefer the original Latin). The subject of the gurunalysis is a conversation between the cognitive scientist & philosopher, John Vervaeke and the amateur theologian/icon carver, Jonathan Pageau. Specifically, we join these two as they apply sensemaking to delve deep into the spine-chilling world of demonology. Are demons real creatures, patterns of thought that resonant in collective cognition, or maybe both? And what about daemons, egregores, banshees, how do they fit in?</p><p>Join us for this special mini decoding and find out!</p><p><strong><u>Links</u></strong></p><ul><li><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OBErw604LXg" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Rebel Wisdom: Demons & the Machine, John Vervaeke & Jonathan Pageau</a></li><li><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Es_WTEgZHE" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Rebel Wisdom: Making Sense of Sensemaking: Daniel Schmachtenberger, Jamie Wheal, Jordan Hall</a></li></ul><br />
