Myths and Empire. We begin with a conversation on the topic of the day: the NFL protests, and in particular why is it so important that we respect the American soldier? Then John reads and comments on the Tree of Life chapter from Sapiens: A brief history of humanity by Yuval Noah Harari, describing the cognitive revolution. What are story, myth and imagined reality? How did they develop? How have we developed because of them? And what are the dangers?
