YouTube Description
as posted by the channelThe first half of our conversation with John Vervaeke, professor of cognitive science and psychology at the University of Toronto and creator of the popular YouTube series 'Awakening from the Meaning Crisis.' In this, part 1 of our conversation, we discuss what the meaning crisis is and what inspired John to make the series. We explore the diminishing role of wisdom in modern society and the various ways that people respond to this crisis of meaning. We talk about the split between the pursuit of wisdom and the production of knowledge, contemporary music and rave culture, and more. We conclude with a very appropriate discussion of the role of social media in the meaning crisis.
