Does the modern world of science and technology still have, or need, a mythos? Every early society had a powerful mythos that unified millions of peoples into a unified culture. If modernity does have a mythos, science fiction is a good candidate.
I sat down with Ralph Cree of the Evolving Spiritual Practice podcast for an in-depth chat about the ways science fiction tries and fails to craft a new mythos for the modern world. The conversation spirals into some fascinating areas of human development and stage theory (stage theorists will get the pun).
