307 - What happens to the human spirit when the world loses its sense of wonder?
In this episode, Evan McDermod explores the fate of humanity in a world without mystery — a deep dive into the soul-loss, existential hunger, and spiritual forgetting shaping our modern age.
We are entering a time where everything is measured, predicted, optimized, and explained… but almost nothing feels alive.
Algorithms choose our desires. Technology replaces initiation. Certainty replaces awe.
But without mystery, the human being collapses.
This conversation is a meditation on:
🌒 Why mystery is essential to meaning, imagination, and consciousness
🌒 How technocracy and digital culture are eroding the sacred
🌒 The spiritual consequences of a world where nothing is unknown
🌒 The collapse of wonder, serendipity, creativity, and soulfulness
🌒 The rise of nihilism, anxiety, and existential hunger
🌒 The return of the sacred in an age of hyper-rationality
🌒 How we can rebuild a culture of awe, reverence, and inner life
If you’ve ever felt like something vital is missing in modern life — something ancient, mysterious, and profoundly human — this episode offers language for what your soul has already sensed.
