Amazing!
Tolkien made a better version of the stories told in the Abrahamic religions. He made the stories less religious which is awesome
Best story ever, i love listening to this at work
1:25:51
The blessing and curse of The Silmarilion - falling asleep not remembering exactly when. One of the few advantages of actual text books is to be able to remember what was the last read page.
Nothing beats this , Nothing.

why doesnt he day my mom
Thanks
Balance..stay level headed.
He needs to learn how to pronounce some words properly
Tolkien>Religions 🤣
I don't get it. A man has severe autism and runs on a completely different track from everyone else. He doesn't think about the future or consequences, neglecting emotionality and ends up dying because of it..... What was this book trying to say and why?
Albert Camus wrote The Stranger to explore his philosophy of absurdism, which is the idea that life has no inherent meaning. The book suggests that life’s events are random and that searching for a deeper meaning or justice is futile. Meursault's acceptance of life’s absurdity and his lack of remorse are meant to illustrate the absurdist philosophy that one must accept the meaninglessness of life and still find personal freedom and peace. It portrays life as inherently meaningless, and Meursault’s detachment symbolizes a rejection of imposed meanings or values. His eventual death is not a consequence of neglecting emotions or future planning per se, but rather a result of his refusal to conform to societal expectations. Camus uses Meursault’s character to suggest that one can find peace by accepting life’s absurdity without needing to fit into conventional molds of thought or behavior. it's Camus' way of illustrating his philosophy of the absurd. Maybe?
Thank you ❤
This is so heavy dope
Pretty Good!
Pretty Good!
I am reading along with this audio book and have found, so far, one whole chapter omitted and several paragraphs skipped in other chapters. not sure why this is happening. I am going to see a stage production of this tomorrow in Orlando and wanted to refresh my comprehension of it a bit before seeing it.
Thank you for this! Sometimes, with heavier books like this one, I tend to get easily distracted, but having your voice in the background as I read helped me a lot! Keep doing what you're doing!❤❤
Heroes for making this !!
Reminds me of me lowkey, I’m a schizoid and this guy seemed like it. Didn’t give a f about anything. If I was him I would’ve just married Marie and lived happily ever after. She seemed like such a nice bubbly girl
2:21:09
The audiobook features a masterful narration that truly brings the story to life
AI Slop, Jesus man... At least use wikipedia.
This has to be a Mind's Eye production. It's very good although for me the Nicol Williamson version, despite being abridged, is the best. This one is still awesome though. It's been way too long to remember for sure but I'm pretty sure this version is the same one that I used to check out from the library on cassette tapes in the pre- internet good old days.
The elves did not have pointed ears. Tolkien never said that.
thank you

Lesson: Absurdisim will make you an absolute missfit in society Although I think the judge and whole court reactions are super exaggerated and kinda unrealistic for the actual legal system
1:51:50 "That's all for today Messie anti Christ" LMAOOOO 😂
1:07:23 Would you marry me if I asked -Nha Would you Marry another woman if she asked -Yes Would you Marry me -Sure why not 🗿 Sometimes he takes the absurdisim a bit too much to heart lol
We are living in strange times indeed........inverted, perverted, and so fake. Cheers for the content....
Thank you for the update. The audio is much better.
Thanks for the update, audio is so much better 👍
“And Morgoth came.” OH SHIT !!!
True Tactic that trump uses all the time Cuz he’s unable to have a decent logical conversation
2:44 What is "kansayan" ?
In The Book of Five Rings (Go Rin no Sho) by Miyamoto Musashi, "kansayan" (often written as "kanzan" or "kanzan no koto") translates roughly to "observation" or "perception." This concept is integral to Musashi's teachings on strategy and combat. Kansayan refers to the ability to carefully observe and perceive not only the opponent's actions but also the broader situation, including one's own movements and environment. It emphasizes acute awareness and clear understanding, free from bias or emotional distraction. This heightened state of perception allows a warrior or strategist to anticipate actions, adapt quickly, and exploit weaknesses effectively. Musashi places a strong emphasis on mental clarity and the development of sharp observation skills as a critical component of mastering the way of strategy.

Is this an absolute truth?
Such silliness. They teach this stuff an ivy league schools?
If relativism is true, then it is relatively true. Therefore, for some people, its true that relativism is false. If relativism is true, then it is false. If your foundation of truth is a contradiction, then nothing can be true.
That's just, like, your opinion man....
