Leos video on meaning value and purpose, and contemplation. Broke my shit for two years

Epistemology

Viktor Frankl's book "Man's search for meaning" is pretty canonical. Jonathan Haidt's phenomenal book "The Righteous mind" gives you an overview of the differences in meaning-making between liberals and conservatives, and the overlapping causal biological and temperamental systems. As Enhance has said, reading ancient wisdom traditions is a good start, they take you to the core of (textual) human meaning-making, Jordan Peterson synthesizes these primordial traditions In his exquisite book "Maps of meaning", really one hell of book! (controversial opinion, I know)

@enhance Care to elaborate

@mmKay Yeah seems like that video seeded a fucking nihilistic based depressed state in me. Been trying to understand its material deeper to this day.

@EnlightenmentBlog Any recommendations on specific reads relating to meaning, nihilism, purpose, value, etc?

@fluffy Appreciate it - will try to check it out. Do you thing those resources are helpful in curing nihilism based depression? I think I will need more of a "spirtual / enlightenment" based perspective
