A short but intense discussion on the roots of human suffering and despair, their relation to self-reflection, how this is metaphorically discussed in the book of Genesis, and the current paleoanthropological views on the baffling mystery of the origins of symbolic thinking, which underlies self-reflection. This video was recorded in New York City, on 24 March 2018. For more information, see:

$Story Time, episode 6: Truth and Magic... (Bernardo Kastrup) (accompanying article: http://www.bernardokastrup.com/2012/10/magic-and-truth-myth.html) This is a myth about the nature of truth and its relationship with true magic. It explores the notion that nature is fractal and that, through fractal correspondences, magic can be performed. It also discusses the limited notion of truth in our culture, which reduces it to the idea of literal truth alone. According to the myth, metaphorical truth can be concretely true through the indirection of fractal correspondences with other realities unfolding in the medium of existence.
