Episode #1: The Semantic World

In the first official episode of the Fools and Sages Podcast, Brian and Boaz delve into the concept of the semantic universe, or the semantic world, exploring the distinction between subjective and objective realities. They discuss how language shapes our perceptions and the implications of cultural influences on our understanding of reality. The conversation also touches on the role of the body in navigating these realms, particularly in the context of shamanism. Throughout the discussion they emphasize the importance of recognizing the limitations of language and the need for an open approach to understanding our experiences.
