Adam, thank you very much
Wonderful, meaningful!
Well it's certainly an exercise in frustration listening to that Paul bloke ...
No fake
I live my life between chaos and entropy". LOL
Perfect balance of insight and amusement 🧡
i love him!
"I live my life between chaos and entropy". LOL
Holdengraber. the name alone says it
Phillips is a hoot
“The unexamined life is not worth living” was supposedly said by Socrates, as described by Plato, in the Apology.
Exactly.
Got it backwards
An unlived life is not worth examining
Ah, Holdengräber. Shut up.
re description as Adam Phillips often saysm I think McGilchrist states more succinctly as re-presentation
What poem are they talking about at the beginning?
The poem part was removed from the video by NY library because of its content. Adam Phillips used this poem in Missing Out in a chapter named 'Getting out of it'. Here's the poem:
This Be The Verse
BY PHILIP LARKIN
They fuck you up, your mum and dad.
They may not mean to, but they do.
They fill you with the faults they had
And add some extra, just for you.
But they were fucked up in their turn
By fools in old-style hats and coats,
Who half the time were soppy-stern
And half at one another’s throats.
Man hands on misery to man.
It deepens like a coastal shelf.
Get out as early as you can,
And don’t have any kids yourself.
@@arminrrr Thanks!
aminr they are citing Merwin, not Larkin, though the Larkin isn’t inappropriate here. Does anyone know which Merwin they presented?
@@hairyfrank My bad. However, in Missing Out, almost a whole chapter is about the mentioned Larkin's poem. Based on the book and the context of the conversation, I thought they must be talking about Larkin. I also couldn't find any reference to Merwin in the book.
This is the poem they're discussing:
Native Trees
BY W. S. MERWIN
Neither my father nor my mother knew
the names of the trees
where I was born
what is that
I asked and my
father and mother did not
hear they did not look where I pointed
surfaces of furniture held
the attention of their fingers
and across the room they could watch
walls they had forgotten
where there were no questions
no voices and no shade
Were there trees
where they were children
where I had not been
I asked
were there trees in those places
where my father and my mother were born
and in that time did
my father and my mother see them
and when they said yes it meant
they did not remember
What were they I asked what were they
but both my father and my mother
said they never knew
I nearly met Marion Milner once. I had the fleeting chance but didn’t follow it up. l still occasionally kick myself.
good god Paul, with the interruptions ...the whole point of an Adam PHillips conversation or interivew is let him unfurl,. also, when interviewers try and be as smart as Phillips or prove themselves it's always a disaster. as we see here.
I'm a hunger artist. I do parties, bar/bat mitvahs, dm me.
Pls turn the comments on Gabor Mate on Jordan Peterson, are you afraid of ppl hatin? Gabor Mate is right and ppm should be able to express that they feel tje same.
One Love!
Always forward, never ever backward!!

🙏🏿🙏🙏🏼
Peterson, among other things, is derived by rage and anger. As a populist, he is harnessing anger/rage of a lot of people and orienting it (search Angrynomics). His angry acolytes are less likely to reason in an unbiased logical manner. As a result no point in turning on the comments. Thanks tho
I was unconscious to my consciousness now I’m in the Real, really! No 🤕😂
Horrible, unbearable interviewer
go to the 92Y
I like him and i dont like him
yes!
