On this edition of Parallax Views cultural critic John David Ebert (Youtube, Patreon) joins me to discuss myth, modernity, postmodernity, and John's concept of hypermodernity. Among the topics we delve into our Joseph Campbell and comparitive mythology, Nazism as a degeneration of myth, Carl Jung, Oswald Spengler and his two-volume series The Decline of the West, religion and the metaphysical tradition, William S. Burroughs, chaos and chance vs order and structure, modernity's relation to the Holocaust, postmodern thinkers like Deleuze & Guattari as well as their critics like Jordan Peterson, sociologist Zygmunt Bauman's idea of liquid modernity, and the digital age of what John calls hypermodernity and much more.
