About this episode

Philosopher, Cognitive Scientist, and University of Toronto Professor, John Vervaeke returns to the mind meld.

Video Episode 👈

In this one, we muse about John's surprising encounter with higher intelligence and how it changed his life. More specifically, John encountered a being he believes to be his personal daimon or guide. We also riff on the ancient wisdom of Platonism, the mind, the future of the meaning crisis, and the dualistic paradox we're all stuck in.
