Michael Shermer, David Gornoski on Heavens on Earth, Mimetic Theory

Michael Shermer sits down with A Neighbor’s Choice founder and host David Gornoski to discuss his newest book Heavens on Earth, an examination of different religions’ conception of the afterlife. The book also examines ideologies and transhumanist notions of eternal life. They also briefly engage the anthropological importance of the Judeo-Christian texts in re-orienting our historical trajectory away from myth and sacrificial cycles of violence and towards a progressive linear view.
