im going through the worst breakup right now. funnily enough one piece is very important anime for her, was weird to see videos about luffy lately. well, gonna risk to watch this at lleast a bit

I can't believe that I actually understand deeply what you're talking about, I mean it feels as if I'm realizing what order is in chaos. I'm in physical pain now that I'm watching and writing these and yet, I feel calm. Thank you.

I've watched 20 minutes so far, but there already were Neil Gaiman and Kim K., Spongebob, Puschkin and Zizek... Hooray!! Found your clips two weeks ago and became a fan-boy quickly! :)

Unconditional love, something like a person their parent can only love.

Thank you so much for all this wonderful content!😊

Congratulations on your anniversary, Julian.

I’m from Oxford! Awesome video, so cool that you came all the way to Oxford Brookes. My mum used to go there back in the day! 😂

at 7:00, It would have been nice to reference Bergers "lovers discourse: Fragments", as its form allows for a very successful attempt at classifying love beyond the singular word and retaining its beauty.

i love you

What does it mean to believe in the unbelievable? I'm wondering if you can give a concrete example? Is it just a kind of "belief in believing"? Likewise, when you said you trust because you've seen what the person does in the past, that seems more like a predictive strategy (I go with this sports team because they often win) rather than the kind of excessive trust I thought you were going to say - i.e., i trust simply as an excess of affirmation. Thanks for these wonderful videos

What's the title of the cover painting? He looks like me working from my bed, only two centuries ago😂

I love u too

Boy that G. K. Chesterton fellow sure seems annoying. It's fine that he puts faith in those sexy terms but it's still a total copout

hello from russia. is that pushkin on the thumbnail? (turns out, yes, of course!)

I love this channel. I'm curious, don't you find this a bit contradictory. You are saying first that it is better to be intrrsting, that is to have something to die for and later you are discussing idea that you should embrace futile experience, and be wary of things that appear to purposeful. Isn't willingness to die for something precisely that: grand meaningful project.

G. K. Chesterton was a member of the God squad wasn't he? 'There is not enough love and goodness in the world to permit giving any of it away to imaginary beings.' - Friedrich Nietzsche, 'Human, All Too Human: A Book for Free Spirits', 1878.

I am sorry to inform you that your Pushkin quote was taken out of context. The phrase "The less we love a women, the more we appeal to her" (rough translation by me) is promptly followed by "So thought my youthful [friend] Onegin". Onegin is the protagonist of the lyrical novel "Eugene Onegin". The main character starts off essentially as a superficial narcissist womanizer. His greatest tragedy is that such life to him is excruciatingly boring and unfulfilling, so much so that he moves to a countryside where he meets Tatiana who then confesses her love to him. He rejects her, she ends up marrying a rich guy and moving to the capital. When they meet next time, Onegin falls in love with Tatyana (probably because she is out of his reach now), but now she is the one who rejects him. She essentially says that she still loves him, but she is now married to another and will be a faithful wife. Onegin is not exactly a character to represent author's own opinions. In your defense though, many even in Russia misquote this, this aphorism has got a life of its own.

I'm not totally convinced by your circular type reasoning... Like if I want something i go in the opposite direction? If I'm starving and start saying "boy it sure would be terrible if a cheeseburger fell into my lap" its not like its going to happen realistically. Idk, I heard so many times the krishna murti line "stop seeking and you will find" and I've experienced those moments of discovery where things materialize as if by accident, but it begs the question, whats the point of pursuing anything? You've get me thinking with these talks, its real good listening.

*How to fall in love:* be hot, be lucky, be out there.

Avoid clichés like the plague --it's a no-brainer. (A quote from Steven Pinker's book Sense of Style.) I finally found out why i find these video's so hard to digest. The fact that this guy is quoting every philosopher there is does not mean he is practicing philosophy. If a piece of text is littered with clichés you lose the thread of thought and that is why you should use it only very sparse and strongly linked to your line of reasoning. The same goes for this guy. Quoting Zizek, Lacan, Hegel, Marx left and right obfuscates the fact that he actually says very little meaningful himself. It is a collection of oneliners and everybody can take from it what sticks and resonates. That is probably why he is so popular. Now i do not say that he has nothing to say, maybe he is too insecure to start his own narrative. But i sure would encourage him to do so because it is always much more constructive and interesting to hear what someone actually has to say when they decide to drop the veil they try to hide behind because ultimately they only hide from their own inner voice and do not fool anyone but themselves.

Love is so boring and stupid. There are really more other interesting things to talk about. Also it is really one big melodramatic pain in the ass and we are trying to make something impossible work. Why?
