    Have you ever considered writing a book? I'd definitely buy one.

    The last proposal in your video made me cry very deeply, it made feel in love with existence and made me want to forge a courageous enough soul to be worthy of this gift. Thank you.

    Hey great you’re posting content again. Your ‘stuff’ is really cool. I wondered do you miss working at the university/teaching students directly interacting with them? It crossed my mind so I thought I’d ask!

    You see, I want a lot.
    Perhaps I want everything:
    The darkness that comes with every infinite fall
    And the shivering blaze of every step up.
    So many live on and want nothing
    And are raised to the rank of prince
    By the slippery ease of their light judgments
    But what you love to see are faces
    That do work and feel thirst…
    You have not grown old,
    And it is not too late to dive
    Into your increasing depths where life
    Calmly gives out its own secret.
    - Rainer Maria Rilke

    Wonderful thank you. I’m amazed you never used the word “Freedom” to describe the illusive goal of our global self-obsessiveness. What a schemozzle 😂

    Do you think eventually the western and eastern philosophies will converge onto a more or less holistic planetary philosophy, such that instead of having so many nationalist-focused agendas, the Earth and its inhabitants can live amongst each other like any other big city dynamic?

    Thank you for the videos Professor. I have a topic suggestion that you may find interesting which is Atheism, and if you can look at it as a form of rebellion against the conditioning we are all brought up with, how it destroys the limitation that religion puts on us.

      @@kaptinkanoodle5039 Yeah, I agree. Anyhow, both of those games are old-school by today's standards. The good part about that is... they're pretty inexpensive.
