   The Source Code of Human Mind | AfterMath Episode #2

   In the second episode of his new series, the AfterMath, Edward Frenkel talks about a unification of mathematics and analytic psychology. Following Carl Jung, Edward proposes that all mathematical objects and ideas come from archetypes in our Collective Unconscious (a common psychic realm to which our individual minds are connected). After a brief introduction to Jungian psychology, covering such topics as the Collective Unconscious and its building blocks called the archetypes, with special attention to the archetype of the Shadow, Frenkel talks about a specific mathematical archetype: the archetype of Flat Space. He explains what it means for humans to be "under the spell of this archetype," what it means to "project" this archetype, and what it means to "integrate" this archetype. He argues that when we integrate mathematical archetypes, new dimensions of reality open up to us. Edward Frenkel is a professor of mathematics at UC Berkeley, member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, winner of the Hermann Weyl Prize and the Euler Book Prize, and author of the international bestseller “Love and Math” which has been published in 19 languages.

   AfterMath | Our Minds Are Connected According To Math

   This is the pilot episode of Edward Frenkel’s new YouTube show/podcast “AfterMath” which will explore revolutionary ideas in mathematics, quantum physics, philosophy, and Jungian psychology, as well as interconnections between these subjects. In this episode, Edward explains in simple and accessible terms – based on mathematics! – that our minds are connected to each other at a much deeper level than is ordinarily understood.
