In this special edition series, I will be joined by multiple thinkers and philosophers to discuss Platonic and Neoplatonic philosophy. This ongoing series of conversations will focus on the nature of goodness, truth, justice, freedom, beauty, reason, and love. My first guest in this series is the eminent cognitive scientist and philosopher John Vervaeke, and we examine D.C. Schindler's masterpiece "Plato's Critique of Impure Reason: On Goodness and Truth in the Republic."Be sure to check out Swan Private, the trusted Bitcoin financial services provider for high-net-worth individuals and businesses worldwide: https://www.swanprivate.com/breedloveGuestJohn's Twitter: https://twitter.com/vervaeke_johnPlato's Critique of Impure Reason: https://www.amazon.com/Platos-Critique-Impure-Reason-Goodness/dp/0813228247#:~:text=Plato's%20Critique%20of%20Impure%20Reason%20offers%20a%20dramatic%20interpretation%20of,real%20image%22%20of%20the%20good.PODCASTPodcast Website: https://whatismoneypodcast.com/Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-what-is-money-show/id1541404400 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/25LPvm8EewBGyfQQ1abIsE?si=wgVuY16XR0io4NLNo0A11A&nd=1RSS Feed: https://feeds.simplecast.com/MLdpYXYITranscript:Outline00:00:00 “What is Money?” Intro00:00:08 Swan Private00:01:37 Breaking In: Reversal and Reality00:06:50 Socrates as the Living Symbol of Philosophy00:10:33 The Paradoxical Identity of Procession and Reversion00:17:07 How Socrates the Courage that Nobody Can Define00:21:04 The Dramatic Roles of Socrates and Christ00:27:04 The Sun, The Good, and the Mediating Third00:32:27 Sciencia Intuitivia00:37:01 The Deep Continuity Between Vision and Cognition, Mind and Biology00:40:37 The Pricing System as a Set of Perpetual Feedback Loops00:45:15 The Nature of the Absolute00:48:00 Could Causality be an Illusion?00:51:20 The Dramatic Structure of Knowledge00:51:58 Watch “Hard Money with Natalie Brunell” From Swan Studios00:52:44 Take Control of Your Healthcare with CrowdHealth00:53:52 The 6th Sense: The Climax of a Film Is a Reversal00:57:19 Reciprocal Opening: How to Keep Falling Ever-Deeper in Love01:02:06 On Being Invisible01:04:45 The Difference Between Discovery and Invention…01:09:29 What is It About Self-Knowledge that So Closely Resembles The Good?01:13:05 “The Supreme Reality is Not Anything the Eye Can See, but the Power By Which the Eye Can See”01:19:36 Cybernetics, Organisms as Messages, and Purifying the Mediating Thirds01:25:35 Information: Surprise, Or, The Difference that Makes a Difference01:31:00 “One Must Love More Than Ideas In Order to Love Ideas Properly”01:35:32 The Mission of Socrates: Get Justice, Or Die Trying01:37:40 “The Unexamined Life is Not Worth Living”01:45:21 “Perfect Freedom is thus Identical to Absolute Obedience to What is Absolute”01:51:00 “What is Money?” OutroSOCIALBreedlove Twitter: https://twitter.com/Breedlove22WiM?
