Ep 27 – Tiago Faleiro - Rediscovering the Sacred in a Technological World

In this episode of Conversations for the End, we move from psychedelic experience to artificial intelligence, from the sacred to the algorithm, asking one central question: what is happening to the human soul in a world of impersonal systems?

Beginning with a psychedelic memoir and the phenomenology of transcendence, the conversation explores the pull of the sacred, the symbolic dimension of experience, and the problem of the ineffable. From there, we turn toward death not as annihilation, but as reevaluation. A confrontation with finitude that forces clarity.

The second half widens into culture. Dystopia not as spectacle, but as creeping normality. AI not as neutral tool, but as a mirror of impersonal systems. Drawing on Jung’s Answer to Job, we consider whether the internet itself functions as a new kind of archetypal field. A hall of mirrors. A performance driven domain where being collapses into having. Smartphones, limbic capitalism, AI slop, and engines of bullshit are examined not simply as technologies, but as forces that reveal a particular way the world now discloses itself.

And yet, the episode closes with something else. A call to reengage the sacred. Not as regression. Not as nostalgia. But as necessity.

If you are trying to think clearly about AI, spirituality, modernity, Jungian psychology, or the future of meaning in a technological age, this conversation is for you.
