Exploring Love, Truth, and the Crows of War

The speaker reflects on the concept of forgotten love and the belief that love is no longer possible. Drawing from Greek mythology, they discuss the idea of locking up the capacity to know what is true due to painful experiences. They connect the presence of crows and ravens at battlefields with the current prevalence of war stories in the collective narrative, emphasizing the futility of trying to limit the news of war. They suggest that attempting to block out the reality of war is unhealthy and encourage embracing different perspectives and mythological resources to understand and work with such challenging imagery.
