"love is wise..hatred is foolish"exactly....!

Jason Sudeikis?

I just finished watching Killer Joe, an •excellent• pitch-black comedy that centres around two very different, yet exceptionally *Quiet* Women within a particular dysfunctional urban-poor Dallas, Tx. family and The Father and Son loser duo who just talk constant s**t to one another, non-stop, and just do NOT know when to just shut the f**k up for their own good - in many ways, it’s a complete inversion of the conventional classic gender stereotypes, and yet it also manages to make a brilliant analogy between mindless superficial chattering and sleepwalking - whilst also hammering home the point that people who constantly talk too much (and thus cannot actually Think properly) •always• seem to make the same mistake of assuming that friends and family members who are quiet and unassuming are naive, unsophisticated, innocent or even slow-witted - in a word, “Dumb”.

I cant read in silence anymore. I have a very hard time with suicidal thoughts, and unfortunately im so terrified of my own mind now that reading in silence is a long forgotten dream; now, if i have a book, there is always something on in the background. Sorry Dave :(

He wasn't just my favorite teacher but "This Is Water" was my favorite DFW experience. At the time, just how close he was to essentially laying out the foundations of "Truth is like Water and needs vessels to carry it" (an expression not attributed to DFW) didn't occur to me until much later in life. RIP

They don't want things to be quiet anymore because that would mean they wouldn't be able to brainwash you anymore.

I ironically find I feel way more dread in loud public settings now the older I get than in quiet peaceful solitude.

Ufff

Peace and Quiet is the best thing in the world and we could all use some

I don't know if he knows it or not, but he's talking about emergence, and what he's describing is brilliant. This is an approach that needs to have wider adoption.

Love this

I love this so much

You DON'T HAVE TO BE ALONE WHEN READING THAT IS CLEARLY WRONG..DUH Why has no one else commented this, I'm surprised?

What speech is this from? Where can I verify this!?

I love this man so much.

Couldn't agree more

I think he's a bit autistic he gets overstimulated.

Some people read as they walk through my neighborhood...in the city, like walking while phone surfing

Putting DFW as a TH-cam short is honestly so disrespectful to his legacy.

I can't handle silence because I have tinnitus.

The sound of silence.

I recommend Karl Popper and studying scientific theory. We still don’t have any modern philosophers who have created a bridge between Aristotle’s induction and modern scientific theory. I’m including a chapter in my book on it, but changing scientific theory will change the world. Some other philosophies are more niche. The enlightenment was arguably born out of the relationship between reason, induction, and experimentation.

Unfortunately, that is just theoretically impossible... Unfortunately people just made judgements with different wild sources and resorts in ad hominem if confronted

There are no facts that support love. Love is wise, but it isn't in facts or truth, we don't have the slightest idea what it is, and that is as it should be.

Can’t take this dude seriously pretty much do the opposite of what he says

I appreciate someone calling that out about public spaces playing loud obnoxious music... it's only worse than when this was recorded. People shouldn't have to put up with having to tune out the most inflammatory & obnoxious ear pollution that makes up top40 sameness at too many places it should never be... Why not something in the background instrumental or ambient, so its left up to interpretation, instead of having someone's overly gratuitous lyrics or self indulgent singing, that's not even suited for public consumption, let alone a "guilty pleasure"...

People are conditioned by the environment they live in. This avoidance of quiet he talks about is caused by the consequences of an overstimulating sensory environment. People who enjoy quiet are also likely to be readers. Technology is a threat to quiet because it bombards people with external noise stimulation. ADHD and many of the mental illnesses people are suffering from, comes out of this overstimulation. Particularly if television was the babysitter in childhood.

I don't mind being alone in a quiet place, but I still hate reading, yet I do it to impress my dad, who died 22 years ago. Well, that and I love learning things.

I wonder if DFW's hunger for silence informed his decision not to stay.😢

This man was so far outside the box

i used to also share this sentiment i was wrong you need connection you need people, being alone with your own thoughts, actively alienating yourself for too long leads to bad things. It's hard to notice the negative effects at first because its so enjoyable, you shrug off the pain of isolation because of the benefits, but madness creeps masking as intellectual epiphanies or what seem like fringe perspective breakthroughs, before you know it you're a covert nut. Depending on how smart you are you can stave off the madness seemingly well until eventually your mind is tricked into believing the logic of illogic.

God speaks to us in silence.

I was lucky, then I was blessed. I understand what he was saying. But my rebellion against a tyrannical world has been to lean to cherish my alone time. I have reached a point where I triage my battles, depending on my then present state. But I am still willing to risk another relationship but only with a woman who knows both her value and her values, and I will come alive. Great framing & production. -Dan

I truly think that this man would have so much to contribute to the world today if he was still alive. Most of what he is says could be applied to our reality today. But he was the only one who knew the pain he felt inside so I dont judge him at all. But I wish he knew that on the other side of the dark nights of the souls is usually where the treasure is at. RIP DFW

i think dfw would peel off his own skin if he learned about youtube shorts

Dang. Truth bro. Rip

I imagine those who have not read any of his work might be surprised at how funny he is

who came here after rick and Morty 😂

I have horrible tinnitus. I can't ever be in a quiet room. I long for silence.

Huh??😂😂

* Emerson * Emerson * Emerson * “Lessons From An American Stoic”……Philosophy Must First Teach Us How To Uplift Ourselves And Catapult Us Into “Awe and Wonder” thereby giving us the succor we need to traverse the trials and tribulations of outrageous misfortune……then after we are adept at the art of living can we begin to dive in to the world’s philosophers 🦅

This is so profound. I don’t think I could watch a longer version though.

Accurate

This is profound! Thank you for this clip!

Nope, not ever going to take any life advice from a suicide.

*WAIT* This isn't Jason Sudeikis 😮

I like reading, but i cant get myself to start, so i dont read.

I enjoy reading but i totally get this. My attn span is garbage and I think ten pages is probably the most I can read in one sitting, even if I'm enjoying the book.
