À propos de ce contenu audio
We do not encounter raw reality. We encounter interpretation.
In this episode, I begin with reports of alien abductions and follow the thread into a deeper philosophical question: how do human beings organize incomplete knowledge into a livable world? Along the way, we explore scientific inquiry, Kurt Gödel’s incompleteness theorem, Buddhist ideas of emptiness, and the recursive nature of meaning.
What emerges is a meditation on myth—not as a falsehood or untruth, but as the narrative structure through which our identity as embodied beings takes shape.
And in therapy, learning to see the limits of those narratives may be one of the most liberating experiences available to us.
This episode is part of The Existential Lens, hosted by psychotherapist Evan Kaufman. Evan is a therapist in Eugene, Oregon, offering depth-oriented therapy to adults and couples.
