Key Thinkers
People who don't publish feeds but whose thinking matters
I
Iain McGilchrist
Left hemisphere dominance = cause of meaning crisis. Right hemisphere = where meaning lives.
YouTube lectures + The Matter With Things (2021)
G
Gabor Maté
Addiction as meaning-substitute. Authenticity suppression = the mechanism.
YouTube + The Myth of Normal (2022)
J
John Vervaeke
Most comprehensive map of the meaning crisis ever assembled.
YouTube: "Awakening from the Meaning Crisis" — 50 lectures, free
V
Viktor Frankl
Existential vacuum, logotherapy. 2026 = centenary year.
Man's Search for Meaning
C
Charles Eisenstein
Sacred Economics, the New Story, post-growth meaning framework.
Substack (in feed stack) + Sacred Economics
N
Nate Hagens
Ultra-processed information, agency collapse, systems thinking.
Substack (in feed stack) + The Great Simplification podcast
