Episode notes
Western Worldview Losing Power
- The dominant Western worldview, grounded in determinism and reductionism, is losing its explanatory power.
- This intellectual decline could spark a renewed hunger for belief in something beyond, possibly the Christian God.
Science Undermines Determinism
- Science reveals the world is fundamentally uncertain and interconnected, defying deterministic and isolated models.
- This challenges the modernist narrative and opens space for relational and holistic understandings of reality.

- Western modernity's emphasis on separation and reductionism excludes essential relational truths.
- The left brain’s reductionist view dominates while the right brain’s relational view has been marginalized.
