Cyclical thinking, Discontinuity and Basic Human Stories | Jon White, Sturla Ellingvåg & Jan-Ove Tuv

I thoroughly enjoyed this discussion, thank you for inviting me here.

Thank you 🙏

What a great discussion! And I was kind of amazed to see this specific discussion pop up in my feed just weeks after I started writing a term paper on Steinbeck's "The Grapes of Wrath" and cyclical/linear time (Eliade, Hegel/Marx/Christianity &c.). What Jan-Ove said about great writers' use of repetition maps perfectly onto Steinbeck's novel, especially the final vignette immediately after the flood. This is the first time I've properly considered these matters, and suddenly I see it showing up everywhere. The mystic in me is inclined to say the stars have aligned, but I suppose profane coincidence is the more reasonable option as always.

oh, it's that Sturla. what a pleasant surprise.

A fantastic discussion, thank you.

ahh man, this is like a sort of Mt. Rushmore of guests on one show, good one ! :)) nice mix of the highest quality guests, and excellent topic, well done -- thank you :))

I can't be the only one who thought that was Nathan Fillion, right?
