The Argument Against Meaning
The reduction of meaning to subjectivity leads to meaning evaporating and disintegrating, which contradicts the idea of a biological instinct. This argument opposes the Newtonian or Cartesian idea of reality to the Darwinian notion of fit between subjective and objective.
Dr. Peterson's extensive catalog is available now on DailyWire+: https://utm.io/ueSXh
Dr Jordan B Peterson and John Vervaeke discuss entropy reduction, incremental fact gathering, systems of complexity and the ultimate unity in the holy spirit.
John Vervaeke is an Associate Professor in Cognitive Psychology and Cognitive Science at the University of Toronto. His work constructs a bridge between science and spirituality in order to understand the experience of meaningfulness and the cultivation of wisdom so as to afford awakening from the meaning crisis.
