Season 3 Episode 3


In this conversation, Ian MacKenzie and Oak Mountain explore the themes of mythopoiesis, masculinity, and the cultural narratives that shape our understanding of identity. They discuss the importance of myth in making sense of the human experience, the evolution of masculinity through different cultural eras, and the current crisis of meaning faced by many men today.


The dialogue emphasizes the need for community and connection in finding purpose and navigating the complexities of modern life.


They explore the significance of myths in understanding the journey from boyhood to manhood, the role of contemporary narratives, and the dichotomy between indigeneity and empire. The discussion emphasizes the importance of recognizing our place in the world and the need for a shift from finite to infinite thinking, where life is seen as a continuous journey rather than a competition.
