In this episode of Conversations for the End, we explore how artificial intelligence is reshaping not only culture and technology, but our symbolic relationship with the world itself.
Rather than asking whether AI is good or bad, this conversation holds the deeper psychological tension it introduces. Between matter and meaning. Object and soul. Past myth and future imagination.
We move through questions of de-spiritualisation, animism, indigenous worldviews, sex robots, and the way modern technology subtly reorganises how we perceive reality. AI appears here not just as a tool, but as a psychological and mythic object that reflects something unfinished in the modern psyche.
This is not a technical discussion about machines.It is a conversation about meaning, perception, and the kinds of worlds we are unconsciously building.
