The Curious Case of the Soul (pt 1)

In this episode, I explore the toxic individualism that is so characteristic of western society and argue that it estranges an individual from their own soul. The fundamental question is: is this modern world even marginally constructed for us to find meaning? Simple answer: no. I'm curious why that is, and what this means for the soul. I critique Albert Camus' "The Myth of Sisyphus" for its nihilistic framing, and of course sprinkle some related criticisms on capitalism and European Enlightenment.
