06/26/19: the imagined reality we have with death
Date: June 26th, 2019
Topic: The Imagined Reality We Have With Death
From as early as the Cognitive Revolution, humans have used language to create stories and narratives that we collectively agree upon. These stories have become the glue that has bound us together and helped shape the cultures and traditions that we have today. One of the bigger stories that we tell ourselves is about death. The rites and rituals and systems that we have around death is built from these stories, stories like, what happens after we die, why should we fear death and most importantly, why we should do everything possible to avoid it. In this presentation we will explore this imagined reality we have with death and see what happens if we turn back the pages on this story and instead looked at the reality of death.
