“In the Enlightenment, the worldview shifted to one particular aspect of our cognition, the propositional, in a way that left the procedural and the perspectival and the participatory behind. And yet those…are the levels at which humans need to do most of the work to overcome self-deception to make meaning. And so this has been sort of a disastrous trade-off. There has been acceleration of the accumulation of knowledge and information, while most people…are suffering from a wisdom and a meaning famine.”
