For the fourth episode, they turn from reflection on grieving the death of God and the loss of the transcendental sacred, to grieving the state of the world and the impending loss of the immanent sacred. They discuss Nietzsche's insights into the pervasiveness of affective nihilism in modern cultures, and the strengths and shortcomings of his prescriptions; the problem of "god surrogacy," in a world that has lost its center; the dynamics of a culture of make-believe and the impediments to facing collective cultural shadow; the process of grieving the state of the world and our implication in many of its crises, environmental and otherwise; the radical challenge of moving beyond anthropocentrism in our social organization and self conception; and much more.
