Another excellent talk. We need more correction in our society. One of the worst fates a person can have is to go through life and not be forced to face one's faults and limitations. When a reckoning does arrive it is catastrophic and recovering is either difficult or impossible.
Excellent video Greg. I notice while reading Plato that Socrates likes to treat who he's speaking with in a very respectable way, just how Pascal recommends. Thanks again.
I've listened to some people that deal with terrorists and hostage situations and what they say about convincing people is kind of similar to what Pascal is saying.

Yes, that's often the case

Yes, that's quite true
This interpretation of Pascal is totally wrong!!
Just kidding! Thanks for uploading these great videos :)
You're welcome!

Yes, the same principle can apply to all sorts of discourses
Does BP explore in the content of this lecture the subject any further in Pensees?
Some aspects of it, yes
Isn't what he saying more psychological and less philosophical?
No.
