Some introduction for uninitiated?

We are experiencing a mental health catastrophe. Anxiety disorders, sadness, and despair are on the rise, and suicide rates are rising across North America, parts of Europe, and other parts of the world. This mental health crisis is caused and exacerbated by problems in the environment and the political system, which are in turn entwined with a deeper cultural historical catastrophe that I refer to as "The Meaning Crisis." It is becoming increasingly ubiquitous in our daily lives. And there's a feeling of drowning in this old ocean of nonsense. And we need to figure out why this is the case. And what are we going to do about it?

Mentioning a number of folks who have talked in ways that will supply us with the resources we require. We'll discuss ancient figures such as Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle, as well as Jesus of Nazareth, Siddhartha Gautama, and the Buddha, as well as present significant figures. We'll discuss people like Carl Jung and Friedrich Nietzsche. We'll discuss Heidegger.
