You are the sweetest. Thanks! Also, when and how did you encounter Weil? Do you find her easy to understand?

Thank you, friend. Love + light.

Oh, thanks for reminding me. Those would be good to listen to. I really appreciate it. Hope you've been doing well, friend. And Happy Belated Birthday.

@@philosophy_schilling thank you! 🥳

The art of questioning is indeed truly beautiful.

You are so kind! That is so cool that you took a class. I have actually never taken classes on Eastern Religions, but have studied them independently. Let me know if you have any favorite philosophers or texts that I should read. You rock!

Thanks so much. That makes a lot of sense.

Thanks so much! What ideas of Nietzsche's are you drawn to?

Lol. Love that, bro. 🦋

Thank you. You as well, friend.

Lol, I wish I could.

Ha, thanks. Sometimes I get playful.

Oh that is such a cool reference! You are so observant - I looked up the art technique (I didn't know there was a name for it) and watched a trailer. I will have to watch that film now because it sounds super cool - you've sent me down a rabbit hole. Kant is difficult for me as well. I'm def. going to spend more time and try to read more of him. Thanks for watching!

@@philosophy_schilling You might like Linklater's "Waking Life" better. It is a much more philosophical work, and also rotoscoped.

Oh, wow. Thank you! I got through most of A Scanner Darkly. I will def. check out Waking Life. That does sound my jam. Strangely enough, YT shows that I have already purchased it, which is strange, so I'll see. I really appreciate it!

This is so true and well put. I would have taken much longer to realize if I hadn't watched the biopic of her and the relationships she had with her husband and disciples.

Pragmatic is the anti-principled. Saying that adhering to objectivist virtues led you to a pragmatic and seemingly principled worldview is a contradiction in terms. Objectivism is a consistent opponent to pragmatism, in fact, using that word in any sort of positive connotation means you never have been an objectivist. What are her flaws, philosophically? Give at least one example .

Oh how cool. I will definitely explore those - thanks for the recommendation. And thanks for your contribution to the conversation. I really enjoy your comments.

Thank you. The reading group you do with your friend is so cool. Drop your YT channel or wherever you post them if you want. Being sleepy is the worst - I pray to the gods for good sleep for all of humanity.

Why are you not sleeping well, do you think? So interested in the sleep challenges + solutions of others because I can completely empathize.

@@philosophy_schilling sometimes its too much stimulation, mostly from screens. Which I do not even enjoy for the most part. Otherwise I'd say a mixture of thinking too much. Heat and overall insomnia lol. I need to start writing again which helps somewhat with the majority of those issues.

@@philosophy_schilling mostly winding down first helps, some ambient noise and a fan.

@@Phaedrus88 This is ON POINT. Yes, for me it is ALL about stimulation. If I've had too much - good or bad (excitement or stress), I really have to figure out how to release that from my body because both body and mind will be wired. Also, I think the histamines currently have me wired at night. I will try your method of journaling at the end of the day.

Oh wow, I'm the one honored! It is a fantastic book. Thanks for putting such great work into the world, and Happy Birthday! Keep writing. :)

how many yards of linen does a coconut water exchange for?

@@chhhhhris Thanks, Canada, but I don't have sartorial expertise. Edit: Also, thanks for watching until the end.

Very cool to know! Thanks!

I would love to! Thanks for the suggestion.

Thank you for watching. What is your top recommendation of Bergson's work?

Thanks so much. What of Han have you read?

This is so smart. I can def. see Katy Perry representing my shadow because she was acting exactly how I would if I were her. I'm still figuring out what the Jungian shadow is in a sense, but this still makes sense to me. Good thoughts on the childhood friend being my inner child. I will have to think more on that one. I just read in the book I'm still reading that if an animal shows up in your dream, it could be your instinctual self, and if you are afraid of the unconcious at all, the animal will show up as a scary one. I just had a dream about a cartoonishly scary wolf that was walking toward me that I managed to fly away from, so maybe I'll have to do some shadow work.

@@philosophy_schilling interesting about the animal being a representation of the instinctual self, sounds spot on.

Thank you so much, angelic spirit. Love + light.

I'm happy you stopped by. Thank you for listening. Let me know your thoughts on Heidegger and/or tech/art/work if you want to share.

Indeed it is! Thanks, I really hope to. But if you could, please put out the PSA to your country to post more Airbnb listings because I don't know how else American ladies are supposed to figure out how to visit and walk to the seas and forests from their reasonably-priced beach house.

@@philosophy_schilling I'll spread the word :)

Thanks!

I'm sorry that you have to go through that. It sounds like you are doing the best you can at the moment. As for your gf and her parents, I get that. It took me a while to learn boundaries and to recognize unhealthy dynamics. I hope you both get to spend more time together and be happy in your freedom soon. Thanks for your comment and perspective.

@@philosophy_schilling Thank you kindly ! I will do strive for helping to free her from that place and to become independent ! today I can proudly say I am day 21 of no alcohol and I am going to AA as often as possible. Will keep you updated on how it goes as your channel is really interesting !

This is wonderful. Good job! Sending good vibes and also energies that will keep you practicing compassion toward yourself as you both go on this healing journey.

I wonder if watching erotic content has something similarly psychological to the practice and causes of limerence.

Thank you for sharing and for your kind and thoughtful response. The soul's journey for us all is quite a sacred mystery.

Thanks for your thoughtful reply and wisdom. Yes, life as we have known it thus far has suffering as an inevitable experience for sure. But many religions and spiritualities envision a "new earth" or a different dimension where suffering is highly mitigated or completely done away with. I think it is compelling to imagine how growth and evolution will happen in that realm since we are so used to having it happen through a life of duality, contrast and suffering.

@@philosophy_schilling some imagery from the book of Revelations comes to mind, how the new heaven and earth will have no night or darkness and no sea, both of which are symbols for the unconscious... hard to imagine but interesting food for thought.

I used to always hate the thought of Heaven/New Earth having no night or darkness. But my teenage Christian self was taking that literally.

Too late. I've already gone down it.
