If you’ve felt like you’re drowning in information but starving for meaning, this channel is for you. I’m Steven Umbrello, and this is Mediated by Meaning.

This channel is evolving beyond book reviews and the occasional cigar review into something more focused and ambitious: a clear, practical philosophy of formation; how attention becomes love, how insight becomes judgment, and how judgment becomes responsible action in a culture that rewards noise.

We’ll draw on Bernard Lonergan’s account of knowing, Jordan Peterson’s work on meaning and narrative, and the Catholic intellectual tradition; always charitable, never sloppy. If you want rigorous ideas explained plainly, and practices you can actually do, subscribe and start with the playlists on Insight, Method, and Meaning. If you’re returning from the earlier era of the channel, I’m glad you’re here. Let’s take the next step together.

Start here:

— Insight (CWL 3) playlist
— Method in Theology (CWL 14) playlist
— Meaning & Formation playlist

How do we recover meaning in a fragmented world?
Short reflections on consciousness, conversion, and responsibility.
