Matthieu Pageau: Christian Symbolism, Heaven, Earth, Femininity, & Satan

In this episode Curt Jaimungal interviews Matthieu Pageau, author of The Language of Creation, exploring a symbolic grammar that casts heaven as a plan and earth as material. Pageau argues that Satan functions as a tester before becoming a villain, and he connects feminine concepts to renewal and the logic of Gödel's incompleteness. The conversation also examines biblical narratives from Job to Ruth through this symbolic lens.- 00:00 - Who Are You?
