Summary
Autodidactic mythologist, psychology extraordinaire, and Myths That Make Us host, Erick Godsey returns to riff on the myth of what I call the omni-game-- The notion that we're all trapped in layer after layer of gamified systems. All of which may be contained within some kind of infinite game. We probe practically every imaginable layer of the omni-game-- Free will, the role of psychedelics, finite games versus the infinite game, what if anything is the ultimate player in the game? Is there a point?
