Daemons, Demons, God, & the Meaning Crisis | Dr. John Vervaeke | EP 414

I’m a Catholic priest and have a bit of theology under my belt. John Vervaeke is VERY well read and informed. I love the fact he quotes Nicholas of Cusa and the principle of paradox. This is serious and cutting edge Christian thought. GREAT convo!

1:15:25 "I really love talking with you" - what a beautiful moment

Following John Vervaeke's work over the years is like watching a reality show of someone going through an enlightenment process.

We are living in an era where everyone can attend epictetus' lectures or hear Lao Tzu speak. We shoukd be so immensely grateful

Anytime Jordan Peterson and John Vervaeke get together it’s magic 🪄 ❤️

John Vervaeke is journeying toward God. Amazing to watch

I met the man John Vervaeke, humble and a thought provoker. 😊

"For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light".🙏

Literally my favorite conversation from Jordan Peterson. Two heavyweight intellectuals talking about the nature of reality

Goes without saying that Vervaeke's series "Awakening From The Meaning Crisis" and "After Socrates" are absolutely worth anyone's time and cannot be recommended enough.

This is a fantastic discussion. I realized I am Jobe. In the last couple of years I lost my grandmother, my childhood home, my wife, and I struggled for a year to get a job, let alone one in my field (marketing). Through these hardships, I maintain my rose-tinted perspective overlooking the world. In your exodus discussion, you speak about the Jews breaking their covenant with God, but God maintains his side of the covenant. This is the approach I am taking with my wife while we are separated. After all, if God is the ultimate good, and that is what we should aim for, then I'm doing the right thing by continuing to love and honor my wife. Yesterday, her car battery died. She called me on my day off while she was at the apartment of her emotional affair (she doesn't know I know). She tried to pay me $50, but I refused. I didn't change the battery out of debt, ego, or to prove a point. I changed the battery because she is my wife, and I will always provide for her when possible. She took a piece of my soul with her, but I'm so thankful for small moments.

I’m too stupid and poorly-read to grasp more than 40% of what they discussed, but I have enough unconscious wisdom to realize this was very very profound. I’m grateful that I have a life ahead to catch up and try to understand. Thanks you both for keep brining meaning to us. I sincerely wish you nothing but a profound adventure. Thank you.

How blessed to be "a fly on the wall" for this conversation, talk about gratitude 🙏

I used to think that Jordan and John were rivals, probably because John remained in the university, also because Jordan seemed to have regarded Jung more highly than John did. Now I see that they are collaborators, operating on distinct but parallel tracks. One thing is for sure, each is very highly read and competent in the arts of research. We must all benefit from their gracious sharing in this public forum.

From Dawkins to Hitchens From Hitchens to Harris From Harris to Peterson From Peterson to Vervaeke What a ride this has been so far.

Vervaeke brings out the very best in Peterson. These are the conversations that, like the best books, you can come back to time after time and discover something new in it. More like this please!

You have no idea how fundamentally and profoundly this discussion has affected me. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

These two need a joint lecture series, easily my 2 favourite intellectuals right now

Conversations between Jordan and Vervaeke are always a treat

these conversations with John are always a pleasure!
