In this reflective and wide-ranging episode, Dr. John Patrick explores what modern reductionist and instrumentalist worldviews fail to understand about human life, meaning, and transformation. Drawing on David Wootton’s Power, Pleasure, and Profit, classical medicine, and the biblical wisdom of Ecclesiastes, Dr. Patrick contrasts cost-benefit thinking with a richer moral and spiritual vision of reality.
