John Vervaeke - Awakening from the Meaning Crisis

[DrYouth]

Then you have gone further than me. Vervaeke is like A level Jordan Peterson. Not as charismatic and funny but way, way deeper. I find myself thinking in new ways after having listened to him. I will try to catch up. Just need to narrow down my podcast diet.

Do you look at YouTube or listen to the podcast? I only listen and sometimes wonder if I'm missing any visual stuff. The few videos I've looked was mostly him talking and I don't need to see that.

lol... you find Peterson charismatic and funny?

Actually both Vervaeke and Peterson are deep.
Peterson's interpretation of Biblical metaphor is pretty damn impressive actually. I haven't read his "Masks of Meaning", but I would bet it's pretty good. 12 rules for living is deceptively deep, but delivered in a simple way... which takes much skill.

Just listened to episode 18 and 19...

Vervaeke takes us through Plotinus and Augustine... Augustine seems to represent a high water mark.

Breathtaking. Highly recommend.

He is now starting into the second half of the series.

The Meaning decline... presumably bringing us to the modern day "meaning crisis".

I can respect his refusal to back down in the face of a mob.

He none the less suffers from the seminal Canadian flaw.

Priggish holier than thou know it all.

I'll put this here. It also relates to the conversation I had here: https://www.martinhash.com/forums/viewt ... 90#p295376

Here we have Alexander Bard talking about Jordan Peterson vs John Vervaeke. Marx vs Rousseau. The Phallic vision and false phallus. Why we worship youth and a lot of the things I've been going on about.
