Why Words Are Killing Wisdom | Matthieu Pageau Interview

Discover why modern knowledge is failing us and how to escape the propositional tyranny that flattens our world. In this transformative 2-hour conversation with Matthieu Pageau, author of "The Language of Creation," we explore the critical difference between information and true participatory knowledge. Learn why abstract words are limiting your understanding of reality and how embodied participation can re-enchant your world.
We dive deep into revolutionary concepts including the four types of knowledge, why dreams matter more than you think, traditional medicine's hidden wisdom, and how to recognize the patterns that control your life. Matthieu shares groundbreaking insights from his work on symbolic language and reveals practical ways to move beyond the flat, propositional world that modern thinking has created.

Matthieu and I agree that the only way out of this crisis is to re-enchant the world through symbolism and pattern recognition. We discuss why so many people today can't see the patterns that govern our world, how the "flood of literacy" has led to a lack of comprehension , and how this ultimately feeds into fundamentalism and legalism.
