I've been following John Vervaeke's public work for some time now and find it interesting on many levels. In this new video He and science fiction author Damien Walter are discussing mythos, the importance of storytelling and what we can learn from the way Star Trek is telling it's stories.

Personally I tie this to the notion that in order for humankind to survive and keep our human character, we have to resurrect great narratives and belief in some sort of shared progress. Star Trek offers a glimpse of the future that, while fictional, can work as a mainstay for facing contemporary and future problems.
