Welcome to the Mythic Mind Games podcast! In this introductory episode, I discuss how video games might play a positive role in the pursuit of wisdom. In particular, I discuss their position as sub-creation with reference to J.R.R. Tolkien's essay, "On Fairy-Stories."If you are excited about this show and want to see it continue for a long time to come, I welcome your support at patreon.com/mythicmind.Watch the video and subscribe to my YouTube channel at https://youtu.be/lYzzMFDus9U
