He has recently been looking into a topic that’s dear to our hearts - the role that Chrstianity played in the social evolution of human society for the last two thousand years. Morgan proposes that the Bible goes far beyond the creation of the believer vs nonbeliever - it actually establishes a metaphysical frame for everything that follows, wherein the foundational premise of the death and resurrection of the Crucifixion is intended to be literally *beyond belief.* We explore the social features that are required downstream of this central premise, and how the world we inhabit today is shaped by principles established in a wildly different age. 00:00 Go! 00:05:06 Historical Evolution of Christianity 00:07:54 Christianity and Philosophical Thought 00:10:38 The Problem of Faith and Doubt 00:15:11 Evolution of Thought 00:24:57 Mythological Archetypes 00:27:19 Historical Catastrophes 00:29:10 Civilization and Myth 00:30:28 The Role of Jesus in Culture 00:32:17 Archetypes of Parents 00:35:02 Modern Philosophy and Self 00:38:47 Intersect of Consciousness and Divinity 00:42:14 Sacred Narratives and Identity 00:46:07 The Balance of Certainty and Doubt 00:48:54 Historical Connections: From Marduk to Jesus 00:51:50 The Awakening of Individual Consciousness 00:57:15 Ideal Leadership and Societal Disenchantment 01:01:26 Reinterpreting Myths for the Future 01:06:09 The Emergence of Human Subjectivity 01:12:09 Reviving Civilization: Challenges and Ideals 01:16:17 Psychological Dynamics and Self-Conceptualization 01:22:12 Love and Unification as a Resolution 01:29:23 Christian Narrative and External Selfhood 01:32:58 Identity in a Commercial Society 01:35:35 Gear vs Talent in Music 01:36:44 Evolution of Culture and Identity 01:39:30 Collective Agency and Cultural Creation 01:44:05 Intelligence and Modern Myths 01:50:00 Modern Society's Direction and Challenges 01:57:14 Towards a Teleological Society 01:58:38 Humans and Transhumanists Divergence 02:03:05 Collective Human Evolution 02:07:01 Anthropology and Human Species 02:11:11 Cultural Fracture and Transformation 02:18:04 Shaping the Future with Values #Philosophy, #CulturalEvolution, #HumanConsciousness, #ModernSociety, #WesternCivilization, #ScienceAndReligion, #Subjectivity, #FaithAndReason, #CognitiveScience, #Transhumanism, #Mythology, #Metaphysics, #DeepThinking, #Anthropology #philosophypodcast, #sciencepodcast, #longformpodcast PODCAST INFO: Anastasia completed her PhD studying bioelectricity at Columbia University.
