    Hey John I've noticed the thumbnails on your UA-cam channel are more catchy. Keep it up!

    I like this, the exercise about getting to flow state is like the inversion of censorship,

    While listening to this conversation, I got chils. Especially when you talked about falling in love with the world again. I really miss this feeling. Now, as I am not in that state reality feels empty. Thank you John and Kevin, for this conversation.

    I had a friend who went to live in an indigenous community and talked about how the indigenous peoples have been romanticized in their relationship with the land etc. it’s been stereotyped and glorified by people from dominant mainstream culture because of their own disconnectedness from themselves and nature. It’s an oversimplification on their cultures complexities. People come and caricature them rather than really come to be with them. Love them

    "The experience of being creative" ❤Just finished R. G. Collingwood's The Principles of Art in preparation of episode 7. Also for other reasons, such a timely talk! 🔥"Everyone wants in and they all have the skills". Forwarding this to the Coven; I foresee that they will love Kevin and he will love them. One day maybe we'll play together. 😀

    This was one of my favorite conversations I've seen Vervaeke do so far - I think seeing the actual application of these ideas that have been discussed in 'this little corner of the internet' makes it all much more exciting and tangible, and makes them 'click' easier.

    It is a delight to experience John moving in and out of using circling in his way of listening and exploring, as just part of conversation. Every few conversations I hear I get the sense of new iterations of his being in communication.

    This is wonderful!! I am a college student struggling to find meaning in life and most importantly right now a direction to go in. I'm a computer science major right now and can't figure out why I'm dissatisfied/what is missing and this is really impactful. I've had a handful of moments like this, especially engaging with mathematics as a kid, but lost them somewhere along the way, and I'm for once hopeful that I could find them and even build a life around them :)

    John, I don't know if you're familiar with Daniel Siegel's work, but after listening to a few hours of his latest book, IntraConnected, I get the sense that you two might have a deeply interesting and resonant interaction.

    Hi John, what you said about the current state of art really hit home. I’ve found in my work that I lean into the darkness and the cynicism. Trying to examine and critique our cultural values. It’s hard not to when it feels like everything is falling apart. But moving forward I’m trying to weave in a sense of beauty, transcendence, and the sacred into my work
