In this Meetup, we will be viewing Episode 5 of John Vervaeke's lecture series on how cognitive science, existential philosophy, Buddhism, Hellenistic philosophy, and psychedelics can be used to address the meaning crisis.This lecture is about Plato and his allegory of the cave from The Republic. After viewing this lecture we will have a discussion about it to talk about the questions raised and clarify the things you didn't understand.
Please bring a 5 dollar donation to cover the room hire.
This meetup is suitable for all levels of knowledge including those who missed the last session. I recommend catching up on the previous lecture if you have time:

Listen to the series overview here:
John Vervaeke, PhD is an award-winning lecturer at the University of Toronto in the departments of psychology, cognitive science, and Buddhist psychology. In this series, Vervaeke will give the history of the meaning crisis, how it is affecting society today, and then give an account of how we can address this problem using science to diagnose and spirituality to treat.
This very well-integrated understanding weaves together historical narrative and contemporary science to paint a compelling picture of the foundation of the meta-crisis of our times.
