2:48:54Now PlayingLove, like Western society in general, is in the midst of a meaning crisis. Online dating has contributed to the commodification of relationships, singledom is on the rise, and marriage just doesn't seem to mean what it used to. Romanticism, it seems, has failed us as a philosophy of love.
Dr. John Vervaeke, cognitive scientist at the University of Toronto and creator of the series 'Awakening from the Meaning Crisis,' joins The Multiversity Project (three single Millennials) to break down Romanticism and build up a concept of enduring, meaningful love.
Along the way, we draw parallels to society at large, as it seems the political left and right are themselves experiencing a communication breakdown. Can cognitive science and the wisdom of love apply to US politics, and save the Democrats and the Republicans from a messy breakup?
