Ep 165King, Warrior, Magician, Lover: The Value of Archetypes | The Mike Hill Series | Episode 10 (WiM165)

Mike Hill joins for me for a multi-episode exploration of the masterful book “Lila: An Inquiry Into Morals” written by best-selling author Robert Pirsig. This book may be one of the most undervalued ever written, as it proposes an alternative interpretation of reality that Pirsig calls “The Metaphysics of Quality” (MOQ). According to MOQ, reality is not made up of substance, but rather it is composed of distinct patterns of value. In a Copernican-like revolution of perspective, MOQ sheds new light on age-old debates such as moral relativism, the nature of subject-object duality, good vs. evil, science vs. religion, the importance of freedom, and the primacy of action.Be sure to check out NYDIG, one of the most important companies in Bitcoin: https://nydig.com/GUESTMike’s Website: https://www.mikehill.design/PODCASTPodcast Website: https://whatismoneypodcast.com/Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-what-is-money-show/id1541404400Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/25LPvm8EewBGyfQQ1abIsE?si=wgVuY16XR0io4NLNo0A11A&nd=1RSS Feed: https://feeds.simplecast.com/MLdpYXYITranscript:OUTLINE00:00:00 “What is Money?” Intro00:00:08 How the Stacked Layers of Static Value Interoperate00:01:38 The Philosopher’s Stone and the Value of Archetypes00:05:50 Metaphysics of Quality and the Jungian Archetypes00:09:04 Emergence of the King Archetype and Human Consciousness00:11:44 The Necessity of Physical and Mimetic Exchange to Childhood Development00:14:39 Etymology of King and Kingdom: The Organizing Principle00:16:49 What is Light is the “Shadow” of Dynamic Quality?00:21:21 Why Pathologies are Born in Darkness00:24:14 NYDIG00:25:23 Metaphors We Live By00:28:51 Flatland and the Other Dimensions of Reality00:31:04 Plato’s Cave and the Shadows of Metaphysical Principles00:33:36 “The Return” and its Relationship to “Resolution”00:36:35 Linguistic Relativity: Language Shapes Thoughts00:39:16 Categorizing Metaphors00:41:40 “What is Money?” IntroSOCIALBreedlove Twitter: https://twitter.com/Breedlove22WiM?
