405 - Fr. Josiah Trenham - Marriage: The Bedrock of Civilization

I catch up with Jordan Hall in light of recent developments about artificial intelligence, how people are responding to it and conceptualizing it, Ai and ChatGPT in Biblical terms, understanding the weight and ramifications of terms like "god", agency, angels and demons, wisdom, virtue, and technical knowledge and application.Jordan's YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMzT-mdCqoyEv_-YZVtE7MQHis writings: https://medium.com/deep-codeRead Jordan's bio here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jordangreenhallYouTube version: https://youtu.be/3Fpy42cdoB0💻 Website and blog: http://www.thesymbolicworld.com🔗 Linktree: https://linktr.ee/jonathanpageau 🗣 Join The Symbolic World Community for discussions about symbolism: https://thesymbolicworld.com/subscribe 🔒 BECOME A PATRON Website: https://thesymbolicworld.com/subscribe Patreon: http://www.patreon.com/pageauvideos 📱 SOCIAL MEDIA Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/TheSymbolicWorld Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/pageaujonathan Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jonathan.pageauOur website designers: https://www.resonancehq.io/ My intro was arranged and recorded by Matthew Wilkinson.

I had an interview with the wonderful artist, Heather Pollington. Together we created a book called 'Snow White and the Widow Queen' that is currently being crowdfunding through Kickstarter.Here we take you through our creative process, the inspiration behind the illustrations, and our grand vision for this and upcoming fairy tale projects.YouTube version: https://youtu.be/DFtACMCLMwA------------I believe what we're offering here is an important course correction in modern storytelling. Simultaneously rooted in classic tropes but also enjoying the best techniques that modern and postmodern storytelling has to offer, 'Snow White and the Widow Queen' begins an extended journey into a fairy tale world of cross-overs and repeating themes. We're telling the story in a different way: celebrating — not subverting — approaching classic stories not with cynicism or political moralizing, but with awe, love, and attention to the pattern.------------This video was released to my email list as a sneak peek last week.Support the crowdfunding campaign: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/symbolicworldpress/snow-white-and-the-widow-queenHeather's website: https://www.heatherpollington.com/Our previous discussion about her redesign of The Symbolic World logo: https://youtu.be/tzpvLekXy6UThe music was done by the one and only Dirt Poor Robins: @dirtpoorrobins ------------Timestamps:00:00:00 - Snow White intro00:01:03 - Introduction00:05:30 - What brought Heather to this project00:07:51 - Iconography and artistic language00:12:01 - The language Jonathan uses00:14:38 - The world of fairy tale illustration00:16:12 - The golden age00:18:29 - Previous iterations of Snow White00:21:40 - Heather's research00:22:26 - The cover of the book00:23:47 - A Christian dream world00:29:56 - Dormition00:33:19 - Mirror mirror and social media00:38:11 - The prince and the castle00:40:53 - Framing00:42:22 - The cycle00:44:46 - The dwarves' house00:45:31 - The Witch and the Apple00:46:51 - The Kickstarter00:48:35 - What's ahead------------💻 Website and blog: http://www.thesymbolicworld.com🔗 Linktree: https://linktr.ee/jonathanpageau 🗣 Join The Symbolic World Community for discussions about symbolism: https://thesymbolicworld.com/subscribe ​

In one of our most important Universal History episodes yet, Richard Rohlin takes us through the origin of nationalism, what nations are, what they need to exist, and where they come from. How do these narratives about identity fit into what we have been calling Universal History? And how can we properly participate in the world around us? -AMBORIA KICKSTARTER: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/strangeowlgames/amboria-roleplaying-in-the-world-under-starlight -Support the Patreon for Richard Rohlin's project: https://www.patreon.com/strangeowlgames ------------------------- -Original video: https://youtu.be/XlG3QVlFpWc 💻 Website and blog: http://www.thesymbolicworld.com 🔗 Linktree: https://linktr.ee/jonathanpageau 🗣 Join The Symbolic World Community for discussions about symbolism: https://thesymbolicworld.com/subscribe 🔒 BECOME A PATRON Website: https://thesymbolicworld.com/subscribe Patreon: http://www.patreon.com/pageauvideos 📱 SOCIAL MEDIA Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/TheSymbolicWorld Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/pageaujonathan Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jonathan.pageau Our website designers: https://www.resonancehq.io/ My intro was arranged and recorded by Matthew Wilkinson.

Many of you might have seen this Q&A on YouTube already. It's been on YouTube for a whole 6 months and we have made many clips from it, but since it's such a good discussion, I thought it would be a shame not to have it on the podcast too. Thank you to the Royal Northern College of Music for hosting the discussion.
