Baruch Spinoza dared to think the unthinkable, and for his \"heresy,\" he was cursed, banished, and erased from society. But his radical vision didn't die—it became the secret engine of the modern Enlightenment . In this episode, we dismantle the traditional myths of divinity and dive into the mind-bending world of Substance Monism .
