Deep Talks: Exploring Theology and Meaning Making
Religion & Spirituality:Christianity
Dr. Clay Routledge is a brilliant psychological scientist who's primary area of research explores the psychological needs of humans to find and meaning & purpose. He's published over 100 scholarly scientific papers, several books, and has written for the New York Times and Quillette Magazine. His work has been all over the media including CNN, BBC News, CBS News, Men's Health Magazine and more.
In this conversation, we'll explore subjects like:
-why America is experiencing a meaning-crisis while many poorer nations report much lower suicide rates and much higher scores in personal meaning and happiness
- the science behind the growing fascination with ghosts, the paranormal, and aliens & whether there are substitute religions for "secular" people
-the link between experiencing despair & one's openness to transcendent sources of meaning
- the difference between "intuitive" thinking and rational thinking and how they relate to art, music, and religious experience
-how movie and tv "reboots", revived interest among Russians in vintage Soviet Union era merchandise, and other forms of nostalgia are attempts at recovering a sense of meaning & purpose
and much more fascinating stuff!!
