The original philosophy is the Tao ☯️. That's fact. It's masculine and positive energy coming into harmony to create life. It's not bias. Meaning that it us perfect in that it's imperfect. Common bros. There's one God. That entity split it's self in two. To create the physical which is mother earth, and all the physical aspects of our reality. And our father is insight. The why. Well here's my theory on the why. If your God and your alone. Or feel alone you divide yourself and start to create life, and that gives you company even in your own psych. We are all apart of that one and this is the journey we all went into a spiritual contract to have fun. What good is life without death. What good is work without some fun. You can't one without the other. And when you realize that, respect that, and entertain that for God's pleasure he smiles upon you. And I mean fun with respect to one another. Without hurting one another. Because If you hurt someone on purpose , you're hurting God and when you hurt God your just hurting yourself. This is the Tao this is the way. Love it or hate it. Argue all you want. These are the fundamentals for all faiths for every code in our reality. With that said, now we can speak on what's real. The planet is alive and we are hurting it. Every living organism has a defense mechanism. And if we threaten our planet with a nuclear holocaust or whatever it will reset our dumbasses to the ice age and we'll be having to reset all your mindfully jargon. Pls speak on topics that respect my God. Unless I don't understand your conversations am sorry. But I love your content and I have to speak on what I see and feel. And I don't live under a rock or some rural area. Am in the 3rd largest city in America, and I can tell ya. People are hurting for a down to earth new interpretation of our faiths. I hope you understand. Prophets and healers need to get in the nitty gritty of the peoples lifestyles even if it's unorthodox to your antiquated way of preaching. If you can't sound like a normal person. That individual that your trying to heal. I say heal but also mean to educate. Education and knowledge is a part of the process of healing. God bless you, brothers. 🙏

This was such a nice surprise for me to see these three in diologos. I am a very solitary person, kicking around these discussion points in my own head all my life. Having not found anyone in my life that is half as concerned about these talking points as myself, I have felt alone in my belief of the meaning crisis and its causes… until I found this corner of KZread. Thank you Justin, Levi & John. I hope one day my work becomes relevant enough to be in diologos with you all in the future.

@@michaelo5665 not at all.. just cutting through the bs. As an esteemed assistant professor of psychology seems counterintuitive that he’s “more lost” and or alienated (.. feels like a little island ..). Psychology is an abstraction derived from “reasoning” based intellect. The endless mental gymnastics implicit in constant questioning (Socratic thinking), a rabbit hole. Quenched ultimately only with prescription drugs to negate the rabbit hole .. it’s a self propelled loop. A very profitable one at that.

3:05 Mr Vervaeke is happy of this dialogue...but it covers sadness, that permeates my own life, the lack of interlocutors in everyday life about an abundance of topics, like this one. My father, who has been a friend and intellectual companion all my life ( I am now 53yo), where having this conversation about his age (86yo) and it came to my mind how lonely my life will be when he departs.....one of the reasons that make follow Dr Sledge, and Zvi and Dra Puca, so there, I said it.

This is the kind of discussion I thought would be the norm between the departments of psychology, philosophy, and religion when I went to a little college with a reputation for both academic rigor and counterculture. As it turned out, the three departments had almost nothing to do with each other.

I’ve never felt gratitude before for my entire lack of a feeling of belonging or meaning. So thanks for that.

What I settle on is being useful and feeling joy fiercely and imminently. Great discussion as always, thanks!

Yes! When you recognize that the meaning the ruling class imposed on you growing up didn't match the reality you observe, and then you spend your whole life figuring out what things mean TO YOU, you're off to a much better start than if you had gone through life without recognizing it, and only recognizing it now, when the world has gotten so messed up that you'd have to be delusional to believe the meaning they imposed on us! 😅

My attempt at describing "The meaning crisis" in simple terms. The meaning crisis has emerged as society has gone down the path of scientific materialism. Since the enlightenment we've uncovered an enormous amount of information about the universe, but we as individuals are no longer a part of the picture. Where narratives of the past build a worldview from the human outwards, where as this scientific classification looks at humanity, not as the reason for which we can understand it all, rather as a tiny spec in a list of information. Humanity is a word in a dictionary. Where I would argue that we (humans) better understand things when we understand it in relationship to ourselves. And noting that our experiences first begin with sensation as the Buddha taught, pleasant and unpleasant. We classify different types of pleasant and unpleasant sensations into physical, emotional, and thoughts (one layer of abstraction). And we build narratives about how these sensations arise as we interact with that world (another layer of abstraction). For most of history, we took those stories of our relationship with sensations that arise as we interact with the world (I felt afraid when the tiger growled in the bushes near me), and we abstract it once further into a story where others can put themselves. But the abstraction has gone so far for most individuals, where they no longer understand the stories that reaffirms that knowledge into their lives, information use to be relevant because it was necessary for survival or societal fit, but with so much of it, and such highly abstract classifications the information has become a jumble of disconnected noise. Where stories and analogies create the patterns that allow us to see information within the noise (to see shapes in amongst millions of stars), and experience utilizing that information helps us relate those patterns back within us. To internalize the knowledge, and subsequently cultivate wisdom. The meaning crisis is that information due to hyper-specialisation has become so abundant and abstract that it no longer has relevance to us, yet to solve the crisis we need to find new ways to help people navigate the patterns of information so it becomes relatable to them, and they can build their own stories based on their pathway through the stars, through the millions of nodes of information. And we can both become teachers and students again as we engage in dialogue, not debate, about the patterns we see.

I think there are many science communicators that have addressed the impersonality that comes from the highly abstract, technical layers of reality we've reached. Carl Sagan's "we are all made of star stuff". Hank Green's soapbox about how all of life we know and have never known is a continuation of a specific kind of chemistry that has continued, unbroken, for 30% of the life of the universe itself. And others bring that personal self-knowingness into harmony with a much greater and vaster whole.

I'm seeing a lot of Heidegger in this. Instead of being Beings who exist in an imminent way with the reality we are part of (ie. understanding reality through our direct interaction with it), we create attractions and standing reserves of knowledge which makes everything in the world into nothing more than objects and tools with definitions and purposes relating to some specific need or ideology. A tree is no longer everything that a tree can be, it is only a source of wood or fruit. In order to regain a meaningful connection to reality, we need to learn how to live with it and as a part of it, rather than viewing it as something apart from us and only as something which can serve some specific function.

Big fans of John and Zvi. Thanks for hosting them and pushing them on the logic/propositional space

Thank you for sharing conversations like these with all of us. Sending love and appreciation from the South🫀

The challenge is that charlatans and fraudsters have a more free hand to pursue their selfish ends on non propositional claims. However because there is less opportunity for them in that space in modern times they have had to fake their way as bad scientists, which is why so many people have now given up on science. Now the propositionalists can't be trusted either. That's why the remembering of what wisdom is is so vital to the moment and why I am grateful for the work that the three of you do

This discussion was FANTASTIC! So insightful, original and brave. Thank you so very much. Obrigado, abraços do Brasil ;)

This is most certainly a discussion worth pursuing in depth and from diverse perspectives. Thank you all for collaborating and contributing. I just finished listening to content from Rabbi Joey Rosenfeld on “simcha,” with references to Rabbi Nachman of Breslov. This tied in nicely with your piece. The search for meaning has led me down some unexpected paths, Kabbalah being one of them. I’m not Jewish, but the more I reflect, the more I believe that my interest lies primarily in the language-the way in which spiritual concepts are presented and related to the human experience. Complexity is acknowledged and explored. Simplicity is revisited and illuminated for the sake of redemption. It can be difficult to stay oriented to joy in brokenness, but I find meaning and great value in the struggle. Blessings to you ALL 🕊️

Reading the chat on the side as the video went on was so distracting, often such cogent and penetrating questions and insights even just in the chat competing with y'all's incredibly illuminating talk. Thank you so much for this! Excited to check out the parts on John and Zevi's channels!

Thank you guys!! These converstations were a delight!

Well, amazing discussions... not easy to follow - at least in the later years of "modern life" - but again, challanging, eye opening. I wish I had more basic knowledge to be able to challenge this on the assumption level, as you made a lot. What remained is to take it on the basic logical level. I really appreciate John and Zevi both made statements that made me think. Even though I come from the study background common with John, his language was the most difficult for me, but I put it on my reductionist nature. Thank you guys a lot. I am looking forward to the followup!

What an exciting discussion!

Absolutely Brilliant conversation! 👏🏼🥇💯 thank u! blessing and peace be with u!

This is one of THE best ever videos! This is exactly what I have been looking for.

So good. All of it. Thank you for this conversation and I’m really looking forward to the next ones.

Sledge's question at 44:15 resonates a lot with me as computer scientist :) I would've loved to hear what logicians working in constructive logic would thought of Vervaeke's comments, the notion of non-propositional knowledge reminds me of Jean-Yves Girard's Blind Spot book/lectures.

Thank you gentlemen.

Amazing! Thanks for all of the quality content on your channel Dr. Sledge.

I appreciate this discourse with academic philosophers who are welded to the search for the miraculous, the truth, the meaning, the reality of our lives in this ponderous world. I favor metaphysics and epistemology far above the logic/ethics/aesthetic of bottom case academic philosophy. We can all unite in the pursuit of a universal understanding of the pathways to end suffering and feel the bliss which we suspect the very small number of mystics are capable of living daily in the presence of a loving reality.

Y'all Blow my Mind And I Love It!!

Although at times I'm barely clinging on to what the conversation is about (which might be the part I should try and gain more understanding of), this is really great to hear. Especially when making the point that ritual without cognitive understanding will not help, as I can attest to that: having come some distance back from a place of deep meaninglessness, proposals of meditating etc. have always appeared to be incredibly superficial and almost ridiculing to the depth of my problem.

Wonderful stuff. I have written myself on spiritual direction and John of the Cross and psychoanalysis. And this is really relevant to me.

I'll be back for more. So intriguing.

Thankyou so much for this video. The discussion is right on target with my personal journey of growth and belonging.

"I expect to pass through this world but once; any good thing therefore that I can do, or any kindness that I can show to any fellow-creature, let me do it now; let me not defer or neglect it, for I shall not pass this way again" -Stephen Grellet

im only about 45 minutes in but this conversation is insane to be listening to, i've been working on a book of philosophical, theological, and aesthetic notes for the past few years and it feels like you all have come to the exact same conclusions im coming to with respect to meaning, structure, ontology, society, ect. clearly theres something in the water of 2024s well. im tempted to send a copy of the book when its hopefully done next year!

I think this is beginning of the unearthing or introduction to a whole new field of study. Well, perhaps it isn’t entirely new, but the codifying of bits of several studies into one. A bridge between disciplines. Much as Anthropology emerged from Psychology and biology where a needed bridge existed. This is the start of new and to some level renewed thought.

Thanks!

Such a refreshing exchange. Thanks guys

'Natural Grace' by Rupert Sheldrake and Matthew Fox is a gift, similar to this kind discussion.

so pumped for this

This was a fascinating conversation, if a wee bit technical for a dilettante such as myself! Very broadly speaking, my main of contention with the “communal approach,” favoured by Zevi and Justin, is that it is too close to “faith-based knowledge” as contagion more than to a “loyal deference” to the transcendent in oneself. I guess I’m too much of a Luciferian to tread comfortably that (very?) thin line between community and gregariousness, and I keep hearing the old adage that “all gregariousness is demonic,” which I interpret as referring to the betrayal (i.e., the lie) of that loyalty to one’s uniqueness as an expression of the fullness of “God.” Anyway, it’s good to see that “beautiful minds do find each other,” and now let’s move on to part 2!!

thanks god for youtube so us stoners can still be a part of the conversation :) but seriously thank you guys for this talk. looking forward for the next

FINALLY

Man always gets in their own way...they seek ALL knowledge and truth in a dualistic, chaotic world that by it's very nature will keep him from it, for ALL truth can only be found beyond this world. It is the journey toward that truth, toward God, that is possible here. The journey toward morality, truth, and all virtue is a journey toward God and not a destination to be found and sat upon.

Excellent convo...so looking forward to this series. Also, nice Joy Division T shirt, Justin ;)

That was a brilliant discussion and I am glad it will be going on for more episodes. Enjoy each of your own channels already, the benefit of your ideas entering the relational field of each others is great to be a part of through listening (and commenting). Other forms of knowing is something I am interested in in regards to poetry, and how the language of poetry expresses a way of knowing that is probably somewhere closer to what we learn from ritual (itself interrelated to ritual in both the writing and speaking of it). I find it baffling that many of these topics seem not to include more about the nature of language in relation to poetry, though. Are any of you interested in it? Excited for more!

I love this.

Super important and crucial topic to address.

Interesting discussion. I did watch it live. While I didn't get all of it, I think I understood the overall idea(s). Need to read more off the Esoterica Reading List before I can understand more of it. (I'm an engineer. Got experience what non-technical type feel when listening to a few engineers/scientist/technical types talk! 🙃)

I correctly sensed that "dialogical" would raise its head eventually. It proves I was following the discussion, if only at the level of a PowerPoint.

Am I the only one watching the whole thing without an idea of like 30% of what’s been said? 😂 I feel like for the other content of the channel I don’t need 5 years of uni but for this pff my brain is steaming

It hurt me, yet changed me... Rituals are what saved me.

In relation to the profoundness of sharing cognition in person as opposed to digitally, magic the gathering is much more fun to play in person than online arena. As much of an opinion this is, I feel like it has some relevance to the dynamic of being.

Can’t wait for part 2 , part 3 etc etc

Nice, thank you very much❤

I understood about 10% of this but I loved it-

cool joy division t-shirt, I want one now

1:14:55 This conversation reminds me of Leszek Kołakowski’s book - I believe it was in If There Is No God - bridging the gap between Cartesian science perspective and the religious or mystical perspective- the elaboration by Vervaeke on the different types of knowledge that lay outside the logical knowledge I think is compelling and somethings newer

Praying for Susanoo-no-Mikoto to protect Zevi from pollen.

Something you ( Dr. Sledge) mentioned early in the discussion reminded me of the System of a Down song - ‘Science’. Themes of contemporary value systems failing to capture what humans truly care about

It's 5:30 in the morning and I just took an antihistamine so I will have to catch up with you manana. Thanx Guys!!!

NOW THIS WHAT IM TALMBOUT

JV's comment about phenomenology presupposed in all other truth-seeking endeavors is very important. That is the crux of the meaning crisis - the failure to clearly perceive the overlap between phenomenology and ontology (phenomenon and noumenon) in our real-time cognitive activity. The bridge between these was most clearly laid out by Rudolf Steiner in Philosophy of Spiritual Activity (1895). There, the phenomenology of spiritual activity becomes epistemology and epistemology becomes ontology. This question can certainly be decided with intuitive certainty if we allow ourselves the opportunity to experience our own spiritual activity participating in the phenomenal flow. The mystical tradition has much to offer on this question as well, yet as Zevi alluded, mysticism should also be permeated with lucid and logical thinking.

One should allow 'alienation' a positive dimension: detachment

A fascinating conversation, which really requires an extensive commentary, but in this limited space I would like to offer some brief points. 1. Mystical experience does not necessarily rest upon pre-existing religious belief. In fact, such things will eventually become a hinderance to clear perception of reality. Recognition of one's own existence is the only prerequisite. 2. While prayer and ritual, both solitary and communal, can be hugely beneficial practices, silent meditation is the principal tool. The space between two thoughts is sufficient to glimpse one's true nature, which will in turn act as a catalyst upon one's understanding. 3. The "Knowing" that comes with such insights is unlike any other. "Intuition" doesn't do it justice. Consciousness gives up it's secrets willingly to those who find their way to the Trackless Land. It wants us to know. A wise man once said, "If you want to find God, go in the direction of I Am".

Unfortunately have to bail less than half way through because I have no idea what’s being said at this point. I’m sure the jargon used here makes for a more efficient and precise conversation for those with formal education in philosophy, but without that, I don’t know the relevant definitions of most terms being used here.

I hope the Justin Sledge who turned up at the 'Adorno on Occultism' series reappears in this one too. Thanks for the content, as always.

My layman's view regarding the validity pf non-propisitional knowing is that logic is one game that minds can play. There are other games (i.e., non-propositonal knowing), but they exist within their own respective domains. These other games do not invalidate or contradict the game of logic and propositions. Everything can be captured by logic, but there are more moves we can make besides "capturing things". We can do more than manipulate propositions, even though everything we do can be described with propositions.

Woooaahhhhh zevi and John???? Bro this is my ideal two.

Wonderful hope for this convo. Inspired within the first 10 min… Realization: The Meaning Crisis can be partly understood as the culmination of cultivation of human consciousness (and metaconsciousness), and the risk that that is happening while we are confused about the Nature of Reality. We are treating Phusis in the Kosmos way too much like a Sentence, and not enough like a Sound.

Hi,this is a really good conversation,,I think ,,how to find words to express understanding,,is it that that they can't or won't open their hearts to the connection they profess,?.forgive my calling people they.

The issue with stating there is only propositional knowledge is that it ignores the limits of logic which are expanded on by the incompleteness theorm and the world of Alan Turing. Knowing that things can exist outside of logic and still be true we must conclude that there are non propositional ways of knowing.
