The Danger of Existential Vacuum and Its Impact on Mental Health

The podcast highlights the existential vacuum as a state of meaninglessness that has become prevalent today, leading to collective neurosis and various psychological issues. This vacuum is caused by the lack of drives and instincts guiding human behavior, as well as the absence of clear conventions and values. It is a deadly trap disguised as normalcy, leading individuals to pursue superficial goals without addressing the underlying nihilism. The podcast emphasizes the importance of identifying symptoms of meaninglessness and offers insights into combating this vacuum through meaning-centered therapy.
