So in this episode we tell this story out loud, from beginning, to middle, to end.&amp;nbsp; Along the way we chat with a 6-year-old animal expert, discuss adult imaginary games, analyze the subliminal cultural messages conveyed in religion and philosophy, and meet a sassy imaginary top hat with a poorly performed Brooklyn accent. Taker Mythology, the grand sweeping narrative playing out behind the scenes of our culture, just might explain how we got here and where we\u2019re going\u2026 if we don\u2019t find a way to tell another story. &amp;nbsp; If you\u2019d like to support Human Nature Odyssey, please subscribe wherever you listen, leave a review, and join us on Patreon for exclusive audio extras, writings, and notes.
