quite the compliment. I loved his lectures and actively studied his style for my own. I loved how conversational he makes it sound (much more so than I) ... my only issue with it is it's often not that rigorous and systematic (on this front I recommend prof. Charles Matthews who did an excellent series on City of God). I'm trying to combine the two styles with respective tradeoffs of course.
Man your settings in which you record are amazing;it takes me into a whole new world in which I feel llike I am a part of it ,t's so immersive.Wind blowing in the bakground makes it even more romantic!
A beautiful beautiful beautiful conversation. I enjoyed it thoroughly. I got hooked quickly at the Intro when the Professor said at 0:35 - "I had the experience of meeting someone whom I felt this is not fungible, this is absolute... I happen to be married to that person." He studied the greatest writer/writings on love and also experienced it. Professor Greenblatt is a lucky man.
Really excited and waiting for an analysis on Dantes Divine Comedy, I think its a work that needs a profound exploration, loved the videos on Rosseau, Nietzche and Girard tho.
It is quite interesting to think of it from a Jungian lense when it comes to things like anima projections and archetypes etc. Lady MacBeth as The Dark Feminine.
The algorithm knows that my mental health improves and I watch less UA-cam after I watch a Bi video so it tries to hide them. You would think if I search Jonathan Bi his most recent video would be a relevant result, no?
Romances could last forever. Since these are selfish, all of ypur energy goes to keep it, so ypu can actually be in a romance forever. But is always selfish and limited. LImited to one person, or to one family or to a profession ( musician, writer), so you will never have the energy to love.
Love has a wrong definiton. Love is never about YOUR partner, or YOUR child, or YOUR family or YOUR country. If it is about YOU, it is selfishness. Love is about acceptance of the others, about seeing that everybody is right, taht everyybody is perfect, that everybody is beautiful,. What your have with your country, your child or your boyfriend/girlfriend is just romance, never love. Irinef you think you have to protect yOUR family, YPUR country ainst others, is not love. If ypu clean YoUR house, and put rubbish, or chlorine out so that will affect OTHERS but YPURS, ypur acts are not loving, are selfish. Love is about thinking about everybody's wellbeing, not only YOUR family/country/children/, etc., again that is selfish. Love is the opposite of sefishness.

Zoom in from 0:54 to 2:17. When you are doing a solo shot, with that bg music and deep talks, the zoom in effect will be a cherry on top. Greetings.

Yeah, when I first heard him speak Michael Sugrue came to mind too . Their way of speaking is also similar

Love your lectures ❤.
Great great interviews always, a lot of thoughtful questions 👍
This is amazing content
Really excited and waiting for an analysis on Dantes Divine Comedy, I think its a work that needs a profound exploration, loved the videos on Rosseau, Nietzche and Girard tho.
This is fantastic! Also, you look like a young version of my dad.
Next recommendation:Analysis of romeo and juliet why many people hate it and what was the message behind it?
always awesome
thanks! two more interviews with this prof coming up, one of my favorites so far.
Great videos
People today understand little of love really is. Perhaps the depths of a true love can only be fully realized within marriage.
Please what's true love, and how is it's expression?
dude you're exceptionally well dressed; would appreciate a video or two on how you style yourself for different ocassions
Rooting for JB. Let's make him famous guys
It is quite interesting to think of it from a Jungian lense when it comes to things like anima projections and archetypes etc. Lady MacBeth as The Dark Feminine.
Unfortunately not :(
it seems like there are some like prof. greenblatt who can make it work!
I had enough romance married my wife based on love not infatuation.

the only reason a man stays with his woman for a long time is because the women is the mother of his children... its not love....
