Typo in the tile, man. I love that you are covering James.

Really Enjoying This series ❤

You could possibly save America from civil war with this video. The recognition that one's own will is a factor in our beliefs should lead to recognition that "I could be wrong" and equally "They may be right", is an important thought seemingly missing from much discourse today.

[@GregoryBSadler]

No video is going to radically change people. On the other hand, the civil war worries are likely overblown at this point

Oh my, I am so glad I found you. What a gift you are! Love these. ❤ I was a stone cold science major. Never took philosophy.

[@GregoryBSadler]

Glad you enjoy the videos!

[@tiaan7032]

James & Voltaire are my all time favourite writers.

[@vladkovalchuk8299]

This feels very similar to the stoic prohairesis. Looking forward to more pragmatists, and thank you for this wonderful content!

[@GregoryBSadler]

Well, there really isn't a "Stoic" prohairesis. Epictetus is the one thinker who makes extensive use of that term. The other Stoics don't.
Glad you enjoy the videos

I'm not sure if I understood the remark mentioning logicians in the end. Is he saying that even logic or how logic is done is reliant on the willing nature?

[@GregoryBSadler]

Have you read the piece?

[@2tehnik]

@@GregoryBSadler no, I'm asking based on your videos on it

[@GregoryBSadler]

@@2tehnik Always read the text first

You're welcome!

[@劉明暢]

sir, Can religion-like morals and relationships-only be tested to be true or false by trying it out? if yes can you explain why you think yes?

[@GregoryBSadler]

I'm not James
