Hi Sonja , care to elaborate on why you took this as a lecture ? Is it the thumbnail or are you referring to some or all of the video? I'm keen to improve my content, so critical comments are always welcome here:)

Thanks for taking the time to comment. I take your view on board. Coming up with solutions (great ones) are never easy. Often what seems like a solution ends up having unintended consequences causing problems greater than the initial. Do you have am example of someone creating a great solution in recent times? Would love to get your further thoughts on this if you feel inclined. Cheers

When it all comes down will you fight for those things you care about ? You know the fate of Jesus. And that was the example he provided fight fight fight fight fight

Thanks for your input. Stoicism seems good in theory, and crosses over somewhat with eastern philosophies. Understanding it is one thing, practising it is an entirely different ball game:)

Hey, thanks for your input. The point of the video was to extract peoples experiences with stoicism by highlighting a different approach using Nietzsche as the example. Appreciate you taking the time to comment:)

@Attunedminds it could be that peoples experience of stoicism is based more often on businessmen and social media personalities rather than the originals. Maybe a more thorough inspection is in need.

Attachment leads to passion, which leads to more attachment... Detachment leads to enlightenment. Which process do you consider more 'transformative?'

Thanks for taking the time to comment. Can I ask you to elaborate further on why you believe he didn't understand stoicism? Cheers.

Hi Jim, thanks for your thought provoking comment. I'm not sure yet, which is the more tranformative approach, reason being, as soon as i think one approach is working, it stops working, requiring me to re-evaluate. If you have time, I'd like to have more of your thoughts :)

@@Attunedminds Personally I practice Buddhism. It's a more absolute form of Stoicism. In particular I practice Silent Illumination, based on Chan Master Sheng Yen's book: "The Method of No Method". Chan is the Chinese predecessor of (Japanese) Zen. Chan Master Sheng Yen had written a lot of excellent books about practicing Chan. It's primarily a matter of meditation.

Thanks Jim for your time. I look forward to exploring chan.

Thanks for your comment:)

I take your point.. but you have to admit the line goes beyond pure whit. The numbers of course are debatable. Thanks for taking the time to comment, cheers

Thanks so much 😀

Thanks for the suggestions. I have some other videos in planning , ill put your suggestions on my list to look into. Cheers😀

Haha, well said.

Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed it. On John Trudell, I must admit, I hadn't heard of his story untill today. Growing up in Australia, may be the reason for that. I've just finished watching some youtube videos about him, seemed like an enlightened soul who spoke from the heart. You've sparked my interest to learn more about him, thanks for bringing this up, it may be the subject of a future video.

@Attunedminds ✌️

@phantomforester9337 Actually 🤓☝️Carlin has said, "I don't care how it all turns our, my motto is Fuck Hope!" And, "the real cynics are the ones that tell you everything will be okay." He's said it numerous times, in his books, full specials and interviews, he viewed his species with a mix of wonder and emotional detachment, viewing society from a safe distance allowed him to make observations without ever worrying about how it will all turn out. So he certainly enriched himself through his personal lens combined with his skills of using language and creativity to write a vast amount of material, and all to benefit from it, his art. (Which is certainly respectable since he was definitely an artist, that was able to find his own voice and then make it into the mainstream, while keeping his integrity.) Afterall, George Carlin was an entertainer, not a social worker. BTW if you're a fan of his videos, then you really should read his books, start with Brain Droppings his first, then When Will Jesus Bring The Porkchops, followed by Napalm and Silly Putty and More Napalm and Silly Putty, then finally Last Words.

He's been consistent on how he clearly doesn't care (and that he isn't interested in even voting) in his books, full specials and interviews, he viewed his species with a mix of wonder and emotional detachment, viewing society from a safe distance allowed him to make observations without ever worrying about how it will all turn out.

@@Cuddly-Cactus Okay--thanks! He found his niche. Would that we all could.

@@phantomforester9337 You're welcome, and I have an audiobooks playlist on my channel that includes all of his books, if you would like to listen to them. And I prefer them since Carlin himself reads them, well all of them except for his last book since it was published posthumously but his brother reads it and he does a fantastic job. He was certainly a unique talent, and I wish he were still around to see the absolute sh*t show going on in this country. He would have so much raw material he could write another book and a few more specials even! Some people sometimes wonder to themselves, "What would Jesus do?" I sometimes wonder to myself, "What would George Carlin say?" 🤔 So I guess there really are just two types of people! 🤷‍♀

That's quite possible :)

I see your point. The two concepts go hand in hand , all the more reason for us to keep our wits about us. There's a lot of variables clawing at our attention all wanting a piece of us. Thanks for your comment.

@jamestaylor3805 You must be kidding because he would have LOVED to see the absolute shit show going on in America, he would have so much raw material he would be doing new specials, new books, (probably) his own podcast, ect. If you have ever read any of his books or watched any of his specials then you would know he literally said, "I don't care how it all turns out, my motto is Fuck Hope!" 🤣💀

Wow, thank you. It's great to have some positive feedback. It takes so long to put together and who knows if it will end up connecting with an audience. Thanks for taking time to comment. Cheers

He got out at the best time. Do you think he would have wanted to see trump in the White House? I know George didn’t have religious beliefs, but I also don’t think he would be okay, with someone who is racist and is a friend of nazis, wants to be like Hitler, and has said he will set up encampments, I don’t think he would have been against women’s healthcare, I think he was a good person and a person like that would have made a good president. Not someone who is a Felon/ Criminal, who lies constantly and lies about his lies in a never ending cycle 🔄 of lies. Don’t forget the extra lies. But what’s worse is the times he tells people the truth. Truth so horrible that people don’t want to believe it, so they don’t. They ignored it. Now they think he will do right by them, no. The only person he cares about is himself, and money and freedom for himself. He doesn’t care about anyone else. Not the people in prison because of him, no, he cares about how much money he lost, and how much money he can make as president. Documents, which are still missing, but people said Whatever my groceries are costing a lot. But instead of picketing 🪧 the companies and the CEOS, they just assumed that the president is at fault or he should be fixing that. I don’t think Americans know the difference between the government and companies. Or know what the president’s job description actually includes. Costs have gone up here too, but I don’t blame your president for it. I blame the rich CEOS from the companies, the people who are getting richer because they don’t care about people. Well coming soon, 4 years with CEOS and all the major corporations richest people, and a president, which they both don’t care about people. Oh sorry 😞 my bad, they do care, care enough for them to work for them. What more employees? Let’s destroy women’s healthcare, because we don’t know anything about what happens in pregnancy’s, and that we are at risk of dying. All of the things that can go badly. Women are dead, because of their actions. I can only imagine what horrible things await Americans in the future.

Thanks for your input.

"It's funny because it's true!" That can be applied to all of Carlin's material.

(Yes)

@@raulvanhoorde1215 "NO"

@ "yes?"

Oh bleep, I am bleeped. * censored because people or UA-cam get cranky. Bleeping bleep bleeps. 😊Love ❤ from Australia 🇦🇺 P.S. Bleeping is more than just swearwords, it’s my swearword but then it is your swearwords. They are just bleeping bleeps and people can make their own decisions on what swearwords I am saying. So it’s me, but it is also you. So I am making you swear Or it’s not swearwords, but it is. Or is it?

Oh no, not anglo epistemology. I thought we think in thoughts. I didn't word that thought.

Excuse me but, are you saying churches do not control people, that it’s only religious cults. Did I get that wrong?

Sorry just reread your comment. Fully agree with you.

Thanks, Glad you liked it. I'm just starting out, experimenting with different editing styles. Going with my gut, so no idea how it will be received. Appreciate your feedback.

Nicely put!

yes

They don't need to be complex to be accurate, no?

Pretty sure he would be making jokes about soft brain liberals.🤣

@ open your closed eyes dude. The idiots who voted trump are regretting it all over the country

@@TheRealJonnyBoBonny the liberals are not the incoming douche bags

@@bryanlas your right. They are the outgoing douche bags. 🤣 Buh bye!!
