John Vervaeke Ep. 5 - Awakening from the Meaning Crisis - Plato and the Cave

 Part five.

This episode is an eye-opener. Salience is discussed in detail, and we find that Plato worked out something psychophysiological about humans two and half thousand years ago, that is explained in scientific detail by Ian McGilchrist in the episode of Jordan Petersons podcast lower down the page.

If you are anxious and a worrier, the episode above may be very useful in understanding the condition of anxiety. If you then watch the Ian McGilchrist interview with Jordan Peterson you can understand the psychophysiological machinery first conceptualized abstractly by Plato.
