Lost Psycho-Technologies: When Our Minds Were At Their Best | John Vervaeke

Vervaeke joins Hans Busstra of the Essentia Foundation to trace the historical roots of the meaning crisis through psychotechnologies — culturally developed mental tools that transform how humans think, perceive, and make sense of reality. The arc runs from shamanism and soul flight through the axial revolution, Socratic dialogue, and the Christian notion of agape, asking when meaning was at its peak and what was lost on the way to modernity.
