Intersubjectivity: The Mix Between Objective & Subjective
About this episode
Get prepared to go deep, we are discussing 'truth' and how it changes between the 3 states of objective, subjective and intersubjective.
In Episode #232 of 'Musings' Juan and I discuss: how Juan found this concept in 'Sapiens' by Yuval Noah Harari, our definition of the three states and how they relate to each other, getting distracted by a Simpsons inspired soapbox car, intersubjective truths (money, morality, success) that are probably wrong and how to connect with us via boostagrams.
As always, we hope you enjoy. Mere Mortals out!
