I sat down with Christopher Mastropietro, a trained philosopher who has been working with John Vervaeke on various projects. They wrote a book together called ‘Zombies in Western Culture: A Twenty-First Century Crisis’ and Chris is currently helping John to turn his Meaning Crisis lecture series into a book. In our conversation we discuss how these ideas about symbolism in a postmodern world are changing our culture, what the new world will look like and what it takes to get there. We also talk more generally about growth and repentance, breakdown, grace, academia VS this online world, our upcoming projects, and the process of doing creative work. - Zombies in Western Culture: A Twenty-First Century Crisis, by John Vervaeke (Author), Christopher Mastropietro (Author), Filip Miscevic (Author): https://www.amazon.com/Zombies-Western-Culture-Twenty-First-Century/dp/178374328X/ -Article: Love in the Time of Covid, by Christopher Mastropietro: https://medium.com/@CJMastropietro/love-in-the-time-of-covid-4f9f69bce94e ========= ========= - The Symbolic World website and blog: http://www.thesymbolicworld.com - Merch: http://www.thesymbolicworld.store - The Language of Creation (Matthieu Pageau): https://www.amazon.com/Language-Creation-Cosmic-Symbolism-Genesis-ebook/dp/B07D738HD8 - Carving workshop: https://jonathanpageau.thinkific.com/courses/st-john-baptist The Symbolic World podcast: - Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0gI8bUwPtT3gkduHqNh6M5 - Apple podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-symbolic-world/id1386867488 More videos from The Symbolic World: - Odysee: https://odysee.com/@thesymbolicworld:2 - Clips Channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/JonathanPageauClips - French Channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/JonathanPageaufrançais - Bitchute: https://www.bitchute.com/channel/pageaujonathan/ - Dtube: https://steemit.com/@symbolism Join the conversation: - Unofficial Facebook discussion group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1989208418065298/ - The Symbolic World Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/TheSymbolicWorld/ Support this channel: - Website: https://thesymbolicworld.com/support/ - Patreon: http://www.patreon.com/pageauvideos - Subscribestar: https://www.subscribestar.com/jonathan-pageau - Paypal: http://www.paypal.me/JonathanPageau Social media links: - Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/TheSymbolicWorld - Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/pageaujonathan - Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jonathan.pageau My intro was arranged and recorded by Matthew Wilkinson.
