Matt Segall joins me to debate the relative merits of "anthroposophical" aproaches to addressing the meaning crisis, such as those adopted in the works of Steiner, Stein and Gafni, and, to some degree, Whitehead.

21:17 Is Mechanism Just a Part of the Process? Emergence All the Way Down
30:05 Advance or Regression? Thinking in Terms of Assimilation and Accomodation
38:13 Defining a "Mechanistic" Approach: The Minimal Need for Causality
41:17 Retrojecting Novelty into Primals? Positing "Prehension"
57:01 Upshot: So...Is the Universe Expanding or Not?
1:11:52 Against a Model--or ...Models?
