John Vervaeke, Ep. 4 - Awakening from the Meaning Crisis - Socrates and the Quest for Wisdom

Part four, a week off for a wedding and a deep dive into the mysteries of the Younger Dryas "event" and its speculative enacting courtesy of Wikipedia, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Younger_Dryas, Joe Rogan and a couple of other sources (see links down the page).
