Minecraft, but it's an Existential Crisis Simulator
Listen now
Description
In today’s episode, we’re getting into the voxel world of Minecraft. Far more than just a video game, Minecraft stands as a mirror to the human experience. It challenges us to consider very human ideas of purpose, creativity, and resilience. Through the lens of philosophy and psychology, we’ll look at what this creative sandbox can teach us about existential freedom, the inevitability of loss, and the human condition. Subscribe to The Observing I for more insights into philosophy, psychology, and the human experience. If you like what you hear, there's a book I wrote that goes alongside the podcast called "The Observing I: A Guide to Living a More Authentic Life". You can buy it on Amazon at https://www.amazon.co.uk/Observing-Guide-Living-More-Authentic-ebook/dp/B0D54FV5D5/ ️ Listen to the podcast on YouTube, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or your favourite podcasting app. Much love, David
