#006 - What is the essence of all myths? Is science a story? How can we use stories to transform ourselves? What does the future actually look like for our relationship with AI companions?

This packed philosophical episode is a conversation between myself and Damir First. Damir is a master of stories and games – the study of them, the creation of them, and now the use of them to build AI companions made for the augmented reality metaverse.

In this episode we’ve gone deep on the role of stories in human civilization, memetics, whether science is merely a story, Jungian individuation, the current renaissance in storytelling, the monomyth – the Hero’s journey, using stories and games to heal physical and emotional trauma, the use of stories in propaganda, meme echoes, motivational salience, the science of addiction, web 3.0, AI pets, augmented reality and a lot more.
