Thanks so much! I'm glad ou can use it! The book is great - I'll be reading a bit more from it, but you can buy it - there is a new edition in print - thanks for commenting and good luck! a.co/d/aTPg4Vl -

haha! I'll assume that's sarcasm but you're right, all I want to do is read it - thanks for listening and commenting!

@@poetryandpurpose No, I thought your reading was nice, haha. I keep running into monotonous voices on YT lately, just thought it was refreshing!

@@TheLaurelRose oh! thank you! I'm not very professional, I mispronounce and stumble, that's what I was thinking about - but thanks so much! Glad someone out there likes it!

thanks!

@@NathanielDickson-k8h Not sure Parzival (this is Wolframs version I’m talking about) expressly addresses manliness (Parzival is never accused of unmanliness I think) or social norms, nor does it question martial norms - in fact there is an interesting and disturbing theory that the Grail Society Parzival eventually becomes king of is a hyper-martial even proto-fascist Organisation. But yes there is a lot to unpack in Parzival and few researchers have even chipped the surface. Thanks for commenting!

@@NathanielDickson-k8h now I wonder if I understood what you’re trying to say. I sense sarcasm but do not see a reason. If there is something you want to say, say it plainly I am happy to hear👂 🤙🙏

@@poetryandpurpose Thanks for reading my comment so carefully. The question (what ails thee uncle?) had popped back into my head a few days ago, because of a conversation about something different. It was after that I'd sought your video and watched it. No, I was not being sarcastic, trying to say it plainly. My comment might have been shaped by a book I read many years ago, or a mis-memory of the story. I have not managed to unpack this topic as much as I'd like, and need to remind myself of the context. I might reread the book. (You are not the first to think I'm being sarcastic when I've added a comment to social media, when I am not. When I am being sarcastic, well, sometimes the opposite happens). 🙏

well put! thanks!

thanks

yes! I was jealous that he could get out things soil and briefly that would have taken me (has taken me in some cases) pages and pages!

@@canseeme1982 wow thanks! I hope you liked it - my most personal book (and only you and one other guy read it!😍🤙❤️)

@@poetryandpurpose. I truly enjoyed it. It was written with genuine emotion and authenticity, making it a must-read for both believers and non-believers of any faith ❤😊

Thank you for your thoughts and concern - and yes sometimes it is difficult for me to place love over logic! - al the best to you and God bless you

@@4oWhat thanks. Will look them up and was thinking about my next Pritchett sowieso!

Haha! I apologize to all the saints that be! At the same time, to my defense: th-cam.com/video/dF-FY8rqA1I/w-d-xo.html

yes that's it!

and to you!

@@lelsqueks hey to you too and much success and happiness!

You are absolutely right of course! (Though it would be interesting to hear what real philosopher like Sartre would have to to say.) At the same time, you are applying arguments to ideas for which they were not made. Not all statements apply to everything. That happens a lot today and I think there's a rhetorical name for it, but I don't know what it is. It's like when a pseudo-feminist argues that men and women sports should not be separated because "woman can do anything a man can do" - she is taking an older feminist phrase that was meant to argue for women being allowed to perform jobs previously reserved for men, like doctors and lawyers. It was never meant to be taken literally. But then it became an independent phrase taken to be absolute, and now it's been overused for stupid things and is meaningless. The trope of the "gleeful criminal" is a metaphor not meant to justify evil, but to suggest that we all too often get so burdened down by the exaggerated expectations of society, including imagined expectations, that we cannot enjoying the great privilege that is life. Now stop trolling and get out here and enjoy living! And thanks for making me think so early in the morning!

Your compass is warped

Whats wrong with choosing to be a prostitute ? Its a choice that doesnt harm anyone else... The customers may harm their surroundings by choosing a prostitute but thats not the fault of the prostitute..thats the customers fault

haha! say hello to John for me and all the best to you!

Thank you

@@dapperwounded thanks 🙏

you're welcome and good luck to you!

@@wolfgangweinberger thanks Wolfgang! I often see meaning and will as expressed by what is - the blade of grass breaks through the pavement to get to the sunlight in order to live therefore it wants to live even though it never decided consciously

@@wolfgangweinberger hope you are well!

@@lematindesmagiciens8764 I more and more see life (from the individual perspective) as a privilege- I feel it a privilege to live to feel to think to strive even to suffer and I feel sorry for those who never got this privilege though that may sound nonsensical

@@lematindesmagiciens8764 thanks!

@@lematindesmagiciens8764 also there’s no way the Bootes explosion and Clarke death was a coincidence that means they saw it coming thousands of years before it happened!

❤😂

@@poetryandpurpose You are welcome. Breaking News : SETI, the organization responsible for listening to extraterrestrial signals from outer space, has received a message from the constellation Bootes. It has been translated. It reads as follows: ‘Greetings Earthlings, we have been recently trying to get your attention by blowing up a star in a planetary system with no life. We did this in honor of one your great writers, Arthur Clarke. We really liked 2001, A Space Odyssey. We just want to confirm that, as usual, the book was better than the movie.” 😉😉

thank you and to you too!

thank you!

haha! that's my famous brother!

you're welcome!

thanks!

I didn't know Catholics thought about it that much! anyway thanks!

thanks for the warning! all the best to you!

Thanks for this -I didn't think it was that common!

thanks for commenting!

thank yu so much! I needed that! You take care and good luck!

you're welcome and thanks for commenting!

thank you and good luck!

Hey, I liked the comedy 50 years ago!

agree - shoes are tools!

If I could break bad habits as easily as I make them I'd be living on top of the world right now!

haha! I come from Hawai where we have "Hawaii time", and was raised a Mormon, where we have "Mormon time" - when I came to Germany I had a hard time adjusting! good luck!

But there is more. Just not what people have written down? Nothing fits sort to say . I just can't get behind christianity or any organization of religion.i think it's important to take back our autonomy and never give our power to a human made concept

Glad to meet someone with similar experiences! I wrote a whole book about it! There are things I miss, but I could never go back. You did the right thing - good luck!

Thank you I'll give your book a thorough look at when I get the chance!​@@poetryandpurpose

You're welcome - and good luck!

Hm ... is your dog questioning your authority or your fashion sense? and re celebrity and their opinions: absolutely hate that! thanks!

@@lionplayZ1 haha why yes thanks for asking and good luck to you!
