John is the creator of a fabulous series of youtube lectures called Awakening From the Meaning Crisis that dives into everything from philosophy and psychology to psychedelics. In this meaty mind meld, we touch on a lot -- Rationality versus empiricism, the importance of inward-facing practices, anamnesis and why mythological context is incredibly valuable. We also discuss the world's deep need for new participatory knowledge systems, a sort of neo-socratic dialogical learning modality.
