Ep 72: Theology & Mythology. Money Messiah Pt 3 with John Vallis
"Money is to Markets, as God / Value is to Consciousness" This marathon of a podcast was too long, so we've split it up into be a multi-part series exploring John's incredible "Money Messiah" article from earlier this year. If you've not yet listened to part 1 and 2, go back and listen to that first for fuller context. Episode #70, and #71. Part Three: A discussion on Mythology & Theology. Myths emerged as narratives as a means to teach us a meta. Modes of being / operation. Pagan, multi-variant gods as a map for multiple personalities for multiple contexts. Mono-theistic god as the highest truth, the greatest good. We ask a few thorny questions about Christianity and its expansion. We talk about Nietzsche and "The Will to Power" Who ask; "who defines good"? And...Is there a thing such as a “greater good” ? Is God: The thing of highest value? The thing of greatest truth? The highest good? The good is seeing / acting with a more truthful orientation? Hence morality? Hierarchies as an aggregate of values The market as an aggregate of hierarchies All of this, and a whole lot more. Stay tuned for Part 4 and 5 of this mini-series!
